Celebrating 36 Years With A LEAF-Driven Nissan Sentra
Posted by Group1 Nissan on 04 Feb 2022 under Nissan Leaf, Nissan News, Nissan Sentra
It’s a Bluebird! No, it’s a Newbird! How can it be new If it’s 36 years old? Ah, well, look under the bonnet. That’s new.
Putting electric powertrains into old cars is not new, but the Newbird is more than some automotive fun. It tells the story of a factory that came full circle. The Sunderland factory was built in the ‘80s and the very first vehicle to roll off the assembly line in 1986 was the Nissan Bluebird, what we know as the Sentra. To commemorate their 36-years of building cars, the folks at Sunderland took their first car – the Bluebird – and gave it the powertrain of their latest car – the Nissan LEAF.

In the early/mid-‘80s, among the terrific Skylines and the “wow-what-is-that” early SUV, the Sani, Nissan introduced the Sentra. Very much the youngest child in the large family, smaller, less flamboyant. Ag shame. Yet the Sentra was a very good basic car, not pretty, but handsome in a no-frills, boxy kind of way. A friend flew to Cape Town and rented one. A good drive, enough space, enough power, nice boot.
