11 Facts About Nissan Cima

Nissan Cima is a luxury sedan produced by Nissan for the Japanese market.

In Japan, the Cima has traditionally been Nissan's rival to the Toyota Crown Royal Saloon G and later the Majesta.

The Cima in the first two generations was a more luxurious and larger version of the Cedric and Gloria, with the Cima sharing the V8 engine from the earlier flagship President, Nissan's alternative to the Toyota Century.

Later generations of the Cima shared the same platform as the President, with the Cima being a shorter version, thereby allowing Nissan to continue offering the Cima at Nissan Prince Store locations.

The later iterations of the Nissan Cima were exported to the United States as the Infiniti Q45.

April 2012, the Nissan Cima nameplate was resurrected, and resumed "flagship" status in Japan as a longer wheelbase version of the Fuga Hybrid.

In January 2021, Nissan announced that the Cima had been considered for cancellation for a second time, with production being halted at the end of 2020 while the current Nissan Japan website still lists it as available for new orders with a hybrid powertrain only in three trim levels.

When rumors came that Toyota was developing a larger, wider extension of the Crown, called the 4000 Royal Saloon G, Nissan Cima acted hastily to add a full-sized version of the Cedric and Gloria.

Nissan Cima was unable to get the wide version ready for the narrow version's launch in June 1987.

The Nissan Cima was available with an electronically controlled air suspension and a center console color CRT-display for multiple audio and video and climate control functions.

However, Nissan Cima's updated design identity was thoroughly worked into both the exterior and interior.
