CHENNAI: Nissan India has launched a connected car technology solution called NissanConnect, which connects with the customer’s smartphone to offer enhanced driving experience. Developed specifically for the Indian market, NissanConnect has been developed at the Renault-Nissan Alliance Technology business centre in Chennai. The integrated information and communication platform features over 50 connected features with three years of free subscription and one year of additional Nissan Warranty programme.
Arun Malhotra, managing director of Nissan Motor India, said, “It enables better comfort, convenience, control and safety through technologies that bring people closer together. Inspired by the future, NissanConnect will benefit our customers today.”
“We haven’t decided on the pricing pattern post that period,” he added.
NissanConnect is a factory-fitted technology solution with an embedded telematics control unit paired with a single SIM for every car connected to a server, which then interacts with the mobile application installed on the owner’s phone.
The software app enables the new owner of Sunny/Terrano/Micra to locate the car, plan trips better with weather information, faster route guidance, better control of the car with voice alerts, speed alerts, movement of car outside the set boundary or time, sharing of car location and others.
It will be available across the Nissan range of cars, including Micra, Sunny and Terrano. While it will come standard with all new Nissan cars, existing car owners will also have the option to get the system retrofitted on their cars in due course of time.
