The Nissan Teana, which hasn't sold volumes in India, now has a refreshed version selling in Thailand. We have published spy pictures of the all new Teana last year, which will come to India later this year. The Teana sold in India at a price tag of around 25 lakh rupees with a 2.4-liter V6 petrol engine, its no slow coach.

Nissan has neither the brand name nor the service backup which players like Skoda, Toyota or Honda boasts in India. With their March coming up later this year, along with the ULC with Bajaj, a better future is in store for Nissan.
