Japanese car manufacturer Nissan officially entered the Indian automotive market in 2005 and has done exceedingly well since. Their lineup consists of sporty and powerful vehicles that are designed to take on Indian roads with ease. While Nissan is extremely popular outside the country, it is a name that people are still getting used to. There are currently two cars on offer from Nissan which display the brand’s diversity and excellence.
