Nissan revived the old 200SX nameplate for a new sport coupe, introduced in the spring of 1995. The 200SX came in base, SE, and sportier SE-R models. All shared their front-end appearance, front-drive chassis, dashboard, and many dimensions with the Nissan Sentra. Base and SE editions shared Sentra's twin-cam 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. The SE-R inherited the 140-horsepower 2.0-liter engine used in the previous 2-door Sentra SE-R. All three came with a 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic, and were equipped with dual airbags. Antilock brakes were optional in the SE and SE-R.
