Nissan Datsun, a renowned Japanese automotive brand, has a storied history dating back to the early 20th century. Established in 1931 as the DAT Motorcar Co., Ltd., the company later merged with Nihon Sangyo to form Datsun, which became a subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. in 1934. Datsun vehicles gained popularity for their reliability, affordability, and innovation, particularly in the compact car segment. The Datsun 510 and 240Z are among the brand’s most iconic models, known for their performance and stylish design. Datsun played a crucial role in establishing Japanese automobiles on the global stage, with vehicles that offered a compelling combination of quality and value. In 1981, Nissan phased out the Datsun brand name in favor of using the Nissan name globally. However, the Datsun brand was reintroduced by Nissan in 2013, focusing on emerging markets with a range of affordable and fuel-efficient vehicles. Today, Nissan Datsun continues to uphold its legacy of offering reliable and accessible transportation to drivers around the world.
