Japanese carmaker Nissan will launch three new cars in the Indian car market this year. The company will introduce the Sunny facelift and Datsun Go+ MPV by the mid-2014, and will launch the Evalia facelift by the end of this year. Unveiled at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo, the Sunny facelift gets changes both inside and outside.
The Sunny facelift gets a large grille which is flanked by a larger ‘boomerang’ shaped headlamps. The front fascia also gets a re-styled bumper that has chrome accents around the fog lamps. It is equipped with electrically adjustable outside rear view mirrors with integrated turn indicators and flash chrome around the windows. The flared wheel arches have been fitted to 15-inch Y-Spoke alloy wheels. On the inside, the Sunny facelift features a leather wrapped steering, aluminium inserts and a piano black finish is given to the new centre console. The vehicle also gets leather seats which offers rich feel.
First launched in 2012, Nissan Evalia failed to generate volumes for the company. The vehicle lacks important features like air conditioning for rear passengers, rear wiper/washer and many more. However, Nissan launched the facelifted model in October, 2013 which checked several issues. The new model gets changes based on the extensive customer feedback. The Evalia facelift is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine that churns out a maximum power output of 85bhp and 200Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission gearbox.
