Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
- Space. A genuine 5-seater sedan; gobbles up the family happily
- Fuel efficiency. Mild-hybrid tech on petrol ensures the wallet remains fat
- Well-equipped lower variants. You don’t really have to buy the top-spec for a premium experience
- Value for money. Aggressive pricing undercuts most of its competition
Nissan Sunny
- Comfortable seats, smooth ride quality and fantastic cabin space. The Sunny is ideal for chauffeur-driven owners
- Aggressively priced! It’s the most affordable midsize sedan in its segment
- Fuel efficient powertrain options, including the petrol CVT combo
- Acceptable fit and finish quality

Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
- Misses out on a few good to have features such as a sunroof, six airbags, etc
- Automatic is an old 4-speed torque converter.
Nissan Sunny
- Petrol-CVT should have had cruise control functionality for added convenience
- The Nissan Sunny has gone without a generation change for seven years now, making it lose out to competition
- Both the engines are average performers compared to powerful rivals like the Honda City and the Hyundai Verna
