Design The original R10 Presea was based on the B13 Nissan Sentra/Sunny platform. It shared many attributes with its sibling model, however, body panels and interior were done to a much higher specification. Interior fabrics matched those on the Bluebird (a class higher than the Nissan Sentra/Sunny), with standard features including automatic headlights, lighted keyslot, rear-illuminated instrument cluster, integrated sound-system, automatic climate control, digital temperature control, adjustable shoulder height seat-belts, 4-way adjustments and lumbar support for the driver's seat, windscreen wipers with adjustable intermittent timings, remotely-controlled wing mirrors that folded close and most importantly, frameless windows that mimiced the NX Coupe and Silvia. In fact, so feature-full and advanced was the car that many units had 4-disc brakes with ABS and a rear windscreen wiper. The Nissan Sentra is a compact car made by automaker Nissan, and is generally a rebadged export version of the Japanese Nissan Sunny. ...

The A-pillar was slightly thinner than most compact cars, and the B-Pillar was practically non-existent from the outside, and on the inside, it was just wide enough to accommodate the seat-belt assembly. The C-pillar created a wrap-around rear windscreen. All these design features allowed for a more than 300-degree of vision for the driver, much like that of a fighter pilot. The rounded exterior left no visible straight edge on the car, and the grill-less front end gave the car a very sleek and futuristic look.
Dimensions Compared to most "compact cars of that time", the Nissan Presea was quite long. The R10 stood at 4420mm, 15 centimetres longer than the Sentra. It was also pretty low for sedan at 1320mm; with passengers often feeling the need to stoop to get into the car. At 1690mm wide, it was as wide as it needed to be for 2 adults (and possibly a child) in the rear seats. The slightly longer wheelbase (compared to the Sentra/Sunny) at 2500mm was class leading for that era of compact cars. All these dimensions added up to a comfortable (albeit low) car with decent comfort and presence. The boot space was more than adequete, at over 300L in capacity. Due to the way the backseats lean back (which in turn gave the rear passengers a lot more comfort) objects over 1000mm in length and 1200mm in width could fit. The boot height of over 400mm also allowed for a competent handling of most purchases during shopping sprees. However the narrow aperture height limited its usability
Handling Prowess For more decent handling, it had macpherson struts up front with multi-link rear suspension (with parallel arms). This independent setup combined with the longer wheelbase gave good comfort on the highway, and a pretty good grip for aggressive cornering. For many Preseas, the car was endowed with a ventilated front disc brakes with a single large piston. The rear brakes were either a solid disc brake or a semi-trailing drum brakes with self-adjusting shoes.
Engine Sizes In Japan, most Preseas came with either a 1.5L GA15DS, 1.8L SR18Di engine and the venerable SR20DE. For the rest of the world, a more common 1.6L GA16DE engines was available, providing sufficient grunt and fuel economy with its VTC (Variable Valve Timing in Nissan-speak) and DOHC design. As it's engine bay was slightly longer than a B13 Sentra, an SR20DET engine could be shoehorned into it without much trouble. Standard Nissan mounting points allowed for the easy swapping of clutches and gearboxes between models in this range of cars. With the ample under-bonnet capacity, larger turbos and intercoolers could be fitted provided the owner did not mind slight modifications to the engine bay.
Little Known Facts A 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic was available. Top speed was restricted to 180kmh/112mph as per most JDM vehicles.
Local Variants In Singapore, where most vehicles are scrapped within 10 years (due to a highly controversial method of imposing certificates of entitlements for vehicles), many Preseas that are closing on 15 years are still running on the roads. This is a sheer testament to the demand for such a timeless vehicle. In fact, the following is so good that a Presea Club actually exists.
The R11 The R11 Presea launched in 1994/5 used the same body chassis, but was slightly lengthened. Essentially, every curve and panel is the same, with headlights and rear lamp cluster modernised for a fresher look. SR18DE with 125hp replaced the 110hp SR18Di engine. The same suspension geometry and drivetrain remained. The most telling sign of the "reused" design were the frame-less windows and doors. Although a little longer (4425mm + 2525mm wheelbase) wider (1695mm) and taller (1325mm), even the most arduous car-spotter would have trouble making out the actual structural and integral differences.
