+Between 1975 and 2002, Nissan retailed the Silvia as the 200SX in many export markets. Six generations were made in both coupé and hatchback body styles, with new models released in 1979, 1984, 1989, 1993, and 1999. These cars received a variety of different nameplates depending on the importer.
-In 1995, Nissan reintroduced the 200SX nameplate in [[United States]] and [[Canada]] to designate a two-door version of the Nissan Sentra (B14 chassis, a front wheel drive car), known in Japan and Mexico as Lucino, replacing the [[Nissan Sentra|Sentra]] coupe and [[Nissan NX]] (discontinued in 1993). 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 ({{lang-ja|[[:ja:日産・ルキノ|Nissan Lucino]]}}). Base and SE editions shared Sentra's twin-cam [[Nissan GA engine|GA16DE]] engine [[Inline-four engine|4-cylinder]] engine. The SE-R inherited the 140-horsepower 2.0&nbsp;L [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DE|SR20DE]] engine used in the previous 2-door Sentra SE-R. All three came with a 5-speed [[manual transmission]] or 4-speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic]], and were equipped with dual airbags. Antilock brakes were optional in the SE and SE-R. The price, new: $14,269-17,549.
