Nissan Altima History & Heritage — Models Over The Years
Roots Of The Nissan Altima
In 1955, Nissan started producing a compact sedan called the Bluebird. It was a sedan that became very popular really quickly. It was a sturdy little car and its owners loved it. Over the next few decades, the Nissan Bluebird came to be known by different names including the Datsun Bluebird.
By 1992, in the North American, European, and Middle-Eastern markets, the Nissan Bluebird was discontinued and replaced by the Nissan Altima. The Altima was exclusive only to these markets. Other markets received a similar but slightly larger sedan called the Nissan Teana.
In the UAE and other GCC nations, the Nissan Altima slots exactly between the Nissan Sunny and Nissan Maxima, and this makes it ideal for those who want more comfort, space, and features than the Sunny at a slightly higher price.
