2 Answers
The Bluebird is a sedan series launched by Nissan in 1959. The 2021 Bluebird adopts Nissan's V-Motion front grille design language, featuring a semi-surround design with chrome trim on the front grille and standard boomerang-style headlights. The vehicle dimensions are 4683mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1465mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of power, the latest Bluebird is equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 93 kW and a peak torque of 154 Nm. The transmission system is paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT gearbox. In terms of features, the 2021 Nissan Bluebird comes with intelligent voice control, allowing voice commands for navigation, music, communication, weather, and other in-car applications, along with an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot. The new car also offers ten years of free basic service data, covering traffic generated by more than ten services, including intelligent voice assistant, weather forecast, intelligent route planning and navigation, real-time traffic conditions, vehicle condition detection, maintenance services, violation queries, electronic fence, stolen vehicle assistance, and OTA online upgrades.
The Bluebird is actually a classic family sedan from Nissan. My first encounter with it was in the 1990s in my relative's garage. Born in 1957 and discontinued around 2000, it spanned a full half-century, earning its reputation as a living fossil among Japanese cars. The most iconic U12 and U13 series were globally popular in the 1990s, with their rugged and durable 2.0L SR20 engines. Nowadays, spotting a modified Bluebird on the road is a rare treat, and fellow enthusiasts affectionately call it 'Old Bluebird.' Its design, featuring four square headlights paired with a chrome grille, exudes a strong retro vibe.
