“We wanted the mid-size sedan to be available during the upcoming festival season and we successfully accelerated our programme to make that schedule,” said Nissan Motor India managing director and chief executive Kiminobu Tokuyama.
The Sunny was unveiled earlier in August and has been designed to attract young families wanting a mid-sized sedan.
