    On all other counts, the Sunny automatic is the same as the petrol manual car. Driving dynamics aren’t engaging but the average city driver will have little reason to complain. Grip levels are good and the light steering is a plus when making your way through tight traffic.

    The car’s high speed manners are also fairly good with a composed ride though sharper edges do make their presence felt, more so at city speeds. The front seats offer adequate cushioning and are very accommodating as well. Rear seat space remains a highlight although the seat itself could offer more by way of thigh support.
     
    We also wish Nissan would add a splash of colour to the smart but overtly grey cabin that tends to look a bit dull. Nissan will initially sell the Sunny automatic in a single XL variant which gets power windows, central locking, electric mirrors, keyless entry and go and a rear blower, but no alloy wheels. The Sunny XL automatic is priced at Rs 8.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). At this price, the Sunny undercuts rivals such as the automatic versions of the Honda City, Ford Fiesta and even the Renault Scala.
     
    Apart from the promise of good fuel economy, there are plenty of other things to like about the car. With enough space for the entire family and the convenience of an automatic gearbox, the Sunny automatic certainly ticks the important boxes for the average city car buyer. If you drive yourself, it's certainly worth considering.
