made a good reputation for its frugal nature.

litre, 4 cylinder petrol engine that generates 98.6bhp of peak power and
134Nm of max torque each via five speed manual gearbox. The sedan is
fuel efficient in order to set it in the highly competitive Indian auto
market. Nissan Sunny delivers a mileage of
15 kmpl in the city and 17 kmpl on the highways
