If you are looking for a comfortable ride that is also easy on the pocket, nothing comes close to a sedan’s ride quality. The declining demand for sedans across the globe has forced brands to concentrate their development efforts towards SUVs.
However, few of them are still in the market and here is a detailed comparison between two affordable Japanese sedans on sale in the UAE: Mitsubishi Attrage vs Nissan Sunny.
Mitsubishi Attrage Vs Nissan Sunny: Dimensions
| Dimensions | Attrage | Sunny |
| Length | 4,245mm | 4,496mm |
| Width | 1,670mm | 1,740mm |
| Height | 1,515mm | 1,455mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,550mm | 2,825mm |
| Ground Clearance | 152mm | 124mm |
| Boot Space | 450L | 416L |
| Fuel Tank | 35L | 41L |
The Nissan Sunny is the larger sedan out of the two with a 175mm longer wheelbase. The longer wheelbase seems to be utilised for the cabin as compared to the boot space on the Sunny. That is because the Attrage has a much higher cargo volume in comparison. You are sure to get more comfort on the Sunny as compared to the Attrage.
Mitsubishi Attrage Vs Nissan Sunny: Exterior Design
| Features | Attrage | Sunny |
| Headlights (Low/High) | Halogen | LED |
| Taillights | Halogen | Halogen |
| Wheels | 15-inch | 17-inch |
| Fog Lamps | Halogen | Halogen |
| Boot Lip Spoiler | Yes | Yes |
| Shark-Fin Antenna | No | Yes |
Both sedan models have subtle looks and a mature design and would appeal to buyers of all ages. The Sunny looks slightly better than the Attrage, especially with its recent facelift. In comparison, the Mitsubishi Attrage looks dated and needs a massive design overhaul. The Sunny has also better exterior features.
Mitsubishi Attrage Vs Nissan Sunny: Interiors & Features
| Features | Attrage | Sunny |
| Instrument Cluster | Semi-Digital | 7-inch Display |
| Infotainment | 8-inch Display | 7-inch Display |

| Apple Carplay | Yes | Yes |
| Wireless Charger | No | Optional |
| Climate Control | Yes | Yes |
| Audio | 4-Speaker | 6-Speaker |

In terms of interior, features and cabin feel, again, the recently updated Sunny nudges ahead with a more robust set of features including a large instrument cluster display and improved layout. The 8-inch infotainment on the Attrage is a dealer-fitted accessory and does not come equipped from the factory.
Mitsubishi Attrage Vs Nissan Sunny: Engine & Performance
| Engines | Attrage | Sunny |
| Capacity | 1.2L 3-Cyl Petrol | 1.6L 4-Cyl Petrol |
| Max Power | 78hp | 122hp |

| 0 to 100km/h | 12.8 seconds | 10 seconds |

Again, the Nissan Sunny has a clear advantage over the Attrage. The 4-cylinder engine on the Sunny is far superior to the 3-cylinder on the Mitsubishi. Read this linked article to know the list of the top 10 cars with low maintenance for sale in the UAE.

| Airbags | 2 | 6 |
