-In 1995, Nissan reintroduced the 200SX nameplate in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]]. Based on the then-current generation B-14 Sentra, this two door economical sports-coupe was the replacement for the B-13 [[Nissan Sentra|Sentra]] coupe that had ended production with the rest of the B-13 line the previous year.
+{{main|Nissan Silvia}}
+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.
-The 200SX came in three trim levels throughout it's production run: base, SE, and the sportier SE-R models. All three trim levels shared the same overall appearance, with minor changes or additions such as a spoiler, different wheel options, or ground effect body kits to differentiate the three trim levels apart.

-The 200SX has a [[Front-engine,_front-wheel-drive_layout|front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout]] (FWD). Base and SE trim levels shared the B-14 Sentra's twin-cam [[Nissan GA engine|GA16DE]] engine [[Inline-four engine|4-cylinder]] engine. The SE-R received an all aluminum version of the 140-horsepower 2.0&nbsp;L [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DE|SR20DE]] engine used in the 2-door Sentra SE-R it replaced. Transmission options for all three trim levels were either a  5-speed [[manual transmission]] or 4-speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic]]. The SE-R trim level in 1995 came with a [[Limited-slip_differential#Viscous|Viscous Limited-Slip Differential]], or VLSD, to maintain traction on the front, drive, wheels. This was a standard feature on the SE-R trim level that was only available during it's first year run. It was dropped after 1995 as this feature was deemed too costly for a car in its class. All trim levels were equipped with dual airbags and antilock brakes were optional on the SE and SE-R. At the time the price for a new 200SX ranged from $14,269-17,549.

-The base model adopted the same interior trim as its SE and SE-R companions. The SE-R was no longer available in California due to tightening emissions requirements. The round exhaust finisher was changed to an oval unit for this year's SE-R model. The rear spoiler is made standard on all trim levels.

-The SE-R returned to California this year, with additional emissions equipement on the SR20DE engine. All models got new headlights and taillights, revised bumpers, and white-face gauges. The grille was also altered. Also, base models replaced the 13&nbsp;inch wheels with 14-inchers. The 200SX did not return for 1999 but its {{convert|140|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} engine continued in the four-door [[Nissan Sentra|Sentra SE]].
