Nissan Sunny Automatic to Launch in First Quarter of 2013- Sources
Japanese auto giant Nissan Motor's Indian Arm that launched its flagship sedan the Sunny in India back in 2011, is doing reasonably good in terms of sales for the company. Now the latest news coming in is about the automatic variant of the sedan in India, however much has been said and discussed about its launch, when we contacted to our sources, they disclosed that the launch is not very far, it will hit Indian shores as soon as the first quarter of 2013, possibly in January or February.

However nothing on the pricing has been commented yet, so even if the company fits the automatic transmission in the top-end variant, the Sunny XV petrol, it should be priced close to Rs 8-8.5 lakh, which will help it become quite competitive. We aren't expecting the diesel variant to be coming in the AT version. What further proves our claim is the fact that the similar vehicle has already been caught doing test mules in India at several places.
Nissan Sunny which is already available with a CVT gearbox across the globe, so it would not be a major task for the Japanese auto major to do the same in India. The closest competitors of Nissan Sunny including Ford Fiesta, Honda City, Hyundai Verna and some others already have an automatic variant. So once the Sunny comes in the AT, we are sure the competition will go even more fierce. On the other hand, Nissan's alliance partner Renault is also planning to launch the automatic variant of the newly launched Scala in India early next year.
