Nissan Presea

The Nissan Presea was a compact four-door car that Nissan produced for the Asian market from 1990 to 2000, positioned against the entry-level luxury hardtop sedans of the period such as the Toyota Corolla Ceres and the Honda Integra. The R10 of 1990 to 1995 was based on the Sunny B13 platform, replaced the Laurel Spirit, and was sold only through Nissan Store dealers in Japan. It was notable for frameless windows, a wrap-around rear screen and a rounded, grille-less nose. The R11 of 1995 to 2000 was slightly longer and used the Sunny B14 drivetrain. Engines included the 1.5-litre GA15DS, the 1.8-litre SR18Di and the 2.0-litre SR20DE. The name is Spanish for jewel, and the model was cancelled during the Nissan Revival Plan as demand fell in the Japanese recession.
