Updated: Thursday, November 29, 2012, 18:25 [IST]

The Nissan Sunny is a car with many names. The Nissan Sunny was launched in the carmaker's home market of Japan not just as a new car but with a new name too. Nissan has launched India's hugely popular entry level sedan as the Nissan Latio in Japan.

The Nissan Sunny is already being sold in China, India and Malaysia. The most notable aspect about the car is that it is named differently in each of these markets. So the same story has continued in Japan with the Sunny now becoming the Nissan Latina.
