Nissan Sunny

The Nissan Sunny is an automobile built by the Japanese automaker Nissan from 1966 until 2004, with the brand changing from Datsun to Nissan in the early 1980s. The first car had a four-cylinder in-line A10 engine of 988 cc and a four-speed gearbox, and the B11 was the first Sunny with a diesel option, the 1.7 litre CD17. It was designed to compete with the Toyota Corolla and grew from a subcompact into a compact car. Production in Japan ended in 2004, though the name lives on in China and the Gulf states for a rebadged Nissan Almera. In North America later models were sold as the Nissan Sentra, in Mexico as the Nissan Tsuru, and in Japan the Sunny was sold through the Nissan Satio Store channel.
