Car Features - Same Car, Different Names: Nissan

Our next Japanese brand (with four more on the spotlight on the following weeks) in which we will discuss this topic is Nissan. The second largest car manufacturer in their home country, Nissan may have a large line-up but not as big as Toyota and it has resulted to a rebadging that involves selling one car of the same brand but having different names to different dealer networks.

Just like last week, this list would be separated in two categories: the first one is the same car but different brand and the second is the same car of the same brand but wearing a different name. For the latter category, they must be sold in a different dealer network (the practice was stopped until 2006). Cars launched from 1990 and above would be included on the list to avoid a long list. Do take note the year range represents the entire vehicle line (including those of its twins) even if the original model was killed. The list will also include Infiniti and Datsun vehicles.

Let us discover which Nissan vehicles used a different name for the same car.
