Nissan introduced the 2010 Sunny sedan exclusively for the Chinese market, although in other countries, the carmaker offered a similar version named Versa or Tiida Sedan.

The Japanese automaker was already known on the Chinese market, and it focused on offering affordable vehicles for the masses. Moreover, since it used the same platform for more models, it could also lower the price of the car.

From the outside, the Sunny Sedan sported curved lines and swept-back headlights that were extended over the front wheel fenders. Its V-shaped grille was part of the design language that Nissan tried to impose on the market, while the lower grille from the bumper gave a slight impression of a sporty vehicle, even though it was not the case.

Even though it used an older platform, Nissan managed to create a roomy interior for up to five passengers. At the front, the flat seats didn't offer too much side support for their occupants, but after all, it was a regular family-oriented sedan. Fortunately, one of the most important features of the car was the trunk that could hold up to 505 liters (17.8 cu-ft) of luggage. In addition, the split-folding bench could extend that volume even more.

Under the hood, the Chinese version of the Nissan Versa/Tiida Sedan was offered with a choice of two engines. Surprisingly, though, it even offered an automatic (CVT) version.
