Nissan Pulsar Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1978–1982) — First Generation
The first-generation Nissan Pulsar comes in Coupe, Estate 5-door and Mini 5-doors body styles. Alongside choosing a body that suits your routine, consider how the powertrain handles the journeys and loads you expect.
Nissan Pulsar engine choices include the Coupe’s 1.3 MT and 1.5 MT, plus the Estate 5-door’s 1.3 MT. These examples combine gasoline engines, manual transmissions and front-wheel drive. You select the gears yourself, with lower gears helping the engine respond when climbing hills or carrying a heavier load.
