The Nissan Sunny Test Drive
We all know the Sunny has been built on the same platform as the Micra hatchback. But the design of the Sunny does not give us a hint that it is a Micra in the form of a sedan. While there are several hatchbacks that have grown in to sedans with the same design philosophy the Sunny is a different case. The Maruti Suzuki Swift and Swift DZire, Volkswagen Polo and Vento and the Tata Indica and Indigo are some examples of sedans copying the same frontal design of their hatchback variants. The Sunny has borrowed some of its design features from the Teana premium car that is currrently being imported as a CBU.
The Sunny is a undoubtedly a large car. Nissan has understood the need for space in the interior and the Sunny's wheelbase is by far the highest in a car of its class. This long wheel base has allowed for so much space in the interior that a person six feet tall can sit in the rear seat with the front seat pushed back and still have at least four inches of space in front of him. Such pace is probably seen only in premium sedans in the league of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
As we had the Sunny's top end variant XV for our test drive the interior fit and finish was inarguably top class. The beige woolen fabric used for the roof and the leather like fabric used for the seats are all of good quality and feel. The dashboard made out of plastic does not feel crude, rather it adds to the interior's fine looks. After sitting inside the Sunny, the interior's quality became more evident.
