Nissan Teana Set To Become Less Expensive
Although a successful car maker internationally, Nissan have not been able to score numbers in India. Nissan India had launched their luxury sedan, Teana, in 2007, but its competitors, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, overshadowed it ever since.
However, Nissan are now planning to import the Teana in India through the semi-knocked down uni route instead of the completely knocked down unit they currently import. This will save them considerable import duty and other taxes to the tune of 85%! Nissan will assemble the car here from February 2011 at their Chennai plant. The Nissan Teana range in India starts from Rs 26.64 lakh. Considering the reduction in taxes, the price should come down to less than Rs 20 lakh.
