Generations Nissan Sunny with indexes B11, B12, B13 And B14 have become iconic thanks to their simple but memorable design. These cars were actively exported to Europe, Asia and Russia, where they are still in demand among fans of Japanese cars. The photos below show the key features of the exterior and interior:

  • 🔹 Sedan and hatchback body: B13 And B14 were offered in two versions, with the hatchback being more popular in Japan, and the sedan in Europe.
  • 🔹 Headlights: y B11 And B12 - rectangular, B13/B14 — more streamlined, with plastic linings.
  • 🔹 Radiator grille: narrow horizontal stripe (a characteristic feature for distinguishing it from fakes).
  • 🔹 Tail lights: on B14 they became wider and received transparent inserts.

Interior of Nissan Sunny: photos of the interior from different years

Salon Nissan Sunny has always been famous for its ergonomics and quality of materials - especially in top trim levels. The photographs show how the design of the instrument panel, seats and center console has evolved. For example:

  • 📻 B11/B12: analog instruments with mechanical needles, steering wheel without airbag, fabric upholstery.
  • 🎛️ B13: an electronic clock appeared in the center console, softer plastic on the dashboard.
  • 🚗 B14: steering wheel with airbag (optional), climate control in top versions, improved sound insulation.

Please note interior color schemes: Gray, beige and navy blue were popular colors in the 90s. Today, such interiors are considered retro-chic, but when purchasing, check the condition of the plastic - it could have cracked over time.

Generation Interior features Typical problems
B11/B12 Simple panel, manual transmission with "long" handle Plastic creaks, seat upholstery wear
B13 Electronic odometer, improved ventilation Burnout of the display on the panel, problems with the air conditioner
B14 Heated seats (optional), leather steering wheel Electronics may fail (sensors, power windows)
⚠️ Attention: Photos in advertisements often hide interior defects - check the condition of the steering wheel (wear), pedals (wear) and ceiling (sagging). If only the front row is visible in the photos, ask for a photo of the rear seats: stains or tears are often hidden there.

Nissan Sunny in different colors: how to choose from the photo?

Body color Sunny affects not only the appearance, but also the cost of the car. For example, rare shades (metallic green, maroon) can increase the price for collectors, while standard silver or black can make resale easier. The photos below show the most popular colors by generation:

  • 🔴 Red: often found on B13/B14, but fades in the sun.
  • 🔵 Metallic blue: Rare in European versions, prized in Japan.
  • ⚪ White: practical, but may hide scratches in photos.
  • ⚫ Black: looks stylish, but requires maintenance (small defects are visible).

There were exclusive colors in the Japanese market, such as "Midnight Purple" for B14, which were almost never exported. If you come across an ad with this shade, check the VIN code - perhaps this is a rare version.

💡

When viewing the photo, pay attention to the reflections on the body - they will help you notice irregularities after painting or an accident. Also check if the color of the bumpers and doors matches: they are often painted separately after repairs.

Rare modifications of Nissan Sunny: photos and features

In addition to standard sedans and hatchbacks, Nissan Sunny was produced in unusual modifications, which today are considered a rarity. For example:

  • 🚐 Station wagon (Wagon): sold only in Japan and Australia, very rare in Russia.
  • 🏁 Sunny GTi-R (Pulsar GTi-R): “charged” version with a turbo engine SR20DET (230 hp), all-wheel drive and an aggressive body kit.
  • 🚖 Taxi versions: with yellow and black paint, reinforced suspension and odometer for 1 million km.

Photos of such machines are difficult to find even in Japanese catalogs. If you come across an ad with a similar modification, be sure to check the VIN history - many are rare Sunny were converted from the regular versions.
