Nissan Sunny - N17 Series

N17 Series

For the first-generation Versa sedan, see Nissan Tiida.

The N17 (or L02B using Nissan's new code scheme) Sunny was unveiled at the 2010 Shanghai Auto Show. The new Sunny is powered by a 1.6-litre petrol that delivers around 80 kW (107 bhp) and 145 newton metres (107 lb·ft) of torque. The new model weighs less and has gained more legroom compared to its predecessor. The fuel economy is estimated to be 30 mpg (8 L/100 km; 36 mpg) city and 38 mpg (6 L/100 km; 46 mpg) highway with the CVT-equipped Sunny.

The US-spec model was unveiled at the 2011 New York Auto Show as the second-generation Nissan Versa Sedan. The new Versa sedan continues to compete with the likes of other entry-level sedans such as the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Accent, and Toyota Yaris. In the US prices start at US$10,990, higher spec models include Bluetooth, navigation system with 5-inch touch-screen display, Satellite Radio and an iPod®/USB interface. It is said to be the cheapest car in the U.S.

The Thai-spec model was released as the third-generation Nissan Almera on October 7, 2011 as a vehicle in the eco-car project of the Board of Investment promotion of Thailand (BOI). It will use the same 1.2-liter engine as the March/Micra, have a fuel consumption 5L/100 km and have a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission.

Renault sell a slightly modified version in India as the Renault Scala, launched in August 2012 and built in India at the same factory as the Nissan Micra.

The Japanese-spec model was released as the Nissan Latio, imported from Thailand, on October 5, 2012. That car was delayed due to power shortages in Japan caused by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
