FactThis Presea never really had a chance: Japan's Lost Decade recession killed demand for small luxury sedans, and the car was cancelled outright in Nissan's post-bankruptcy Revival Plan review.
The R11 Presea of 1995 was a little longer (4,425 mm, on a 2,525 mm wheelbase), wider (1,695 mm) and taller (1,325 mm) than the R10, on the same drivetrain as the Sunny B14 (1994–1998) and with the same frameless door windows, MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link rear. In Japan and some other countries the SR18DE with 125 hp replaced the 110 hp SR18D(i), alongside the GA15DE and SR20DE, while in Singapore, Thailand and New Zealand it came mostly with the old GA16DE. Market demand fell rapidly as Japan's recession (the Lost Decade) took hold, and the Presea was cancelled after a review under the Nissan Revival Plan in 2000, its successor being the Nissan Sylphy.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Nissan pitched this Presea's thin pillars and wraparound glass as giving the driver more than 300 degrees of vision, fighter-pilot sightlines in a family sedan.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
