The 1989-released Nissan 200 SX had surprisingly sportier looks than later introduced models with an aggressively styled air slicing nose and flowing body lines.
Anticipating the arrival of the 100 NX, this coupe was a fun to drive, powerful, responsive car. The 200 SX was launched with a 4-cylinder 1.9 liter engine with a power output of 169 hp which drove the car to a top speed of 134 mph via a standard 5-speed manual transmission. Alternatively, the vehicle came with a choice of a 4-speed automatic transmission. However, in the latter’s case, driving with ease and comfort were traded with a laggy acceleration and lower maximum speed.
