Nissan today unveiled an all-new sedan model at the 8th China
(Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition. Using the famed "Sunny" name in
China, this new model will go on sale first in China in January 2011 and then
progressively across 170 countries worldwide under different
vehicle brand names.
The Nissan Sunny was first introduced in China in
2003 and was significant as the first locally built model from the new Dongfeng Nissan partnership. The Sunny quickly helped establish the
Nissan brand in the passenger vehicle market in China.
A projected class
leader in fuel economy, the all-new Sunny is expected to appeal to young
families in their 30s looking for a medium sized sedan that combines a dynamic
upscale design with the space, quality and features associated with the Sunny
and Nissan brand.
Combining the proven Nissan 1.5-liter HR15DE engine
with dual injectors and a new-generation Xtronic CVT with an auxiliary
transmission, Sunny delivers ease in handling for city driving.
The new
Sunny will be produced in Dongfeng Nissan's Huadu Plant
in Guangzhou for the Chinese market.
