Nissan Gazelle

The Gazelle served as Nissan's upmarket companion to the Silvia, sold through different dealer networks. Featured more conservative styling with emphasis on luxury and refinement rather than sportiness. Shared mechanical components with Silvia but targeted buyers seeking elegance over performance. The inline-6 engine provided smooth, sophisticated power delivery befitting its premium positioning.
