In the early 90's, car enthusiasts were much fond of sedans, which then excellently combined performance and function. They came in simple designs, giving more importance on the driving abilities of the car. Then the sedans vanished from the automotive scene, paving the way for other kinds of vehicles. Nissan boldly enters the auto market, introducing their new coupe together with a philosophy that cars must be good looking and at the same time, fun to drive. In 1995, a new 200SX replaced the earlier Nissan Sentra Coupe. Since then, the 200SX was slightly modified. Few changes to the 1997 Nissan 200SX were a spoiler that came standard on all models and a new exterior color.

All models, the base 200SX, SE and SE R, boasts of a roomy interior, sporty look, good handling and affordable price. It carries a 115-horsepower engine that provides a smooth and pleasant drive. It offers comfortable seats for four passengers and enough head and leg room. The SE model is equipped with anti-lock brakes, power sunroof and a rear spoiler. Also featured in this vehicle are air conditioning, four-speaker AM/FM/cassette stereo, power windows, power locks, cruise control, fog lights and alloy wheels.
