Nissan Stagea

The Nissan Stagea is a station wagon that was produced by Nissan from 1996 to 2007. It is often referred to as a “wagon version” of the Nissan Skyline due to its shared platform and performance characteristics.

The Stagea was designed to combine the practicality of a wagon with the performance and styling elements of a sports car. It offered a range of engine options, including both naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines, depending on the model and trim level.

One of the notable variants of the Stagea was the Stagea 260RS, which was powered by a turbocharged 2.6-liter inline-six engine, similar to the one found in the Nissan Skyline GT-R. This performance-oriented model offered impressive power and acceleration, making it a favorite among enthusiasts.

The Stagea featured a rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive layout, providing good traction and stability. It was equipped with advanced suspension systems to enhance handling and ride comfort, ensuring a pleasant driving experience.

In terms of design, the Stagea had a wagon body style with a sporty and aggressive appearance. It had sleek lines, a sloping roofline, and often featured styling cues reminiscent of the Skyline range. The interior offered a spacious cabin with seating for five passengers and versatile cargo space.

The Stagea also incorporated various features and technologies for convenience and safety, including advanced audio systems, climate control, and safety features such as airbags and anti-lock braking systems (ABS).

After 2007, Nissan discontinued the Stagea and did not introduce a direct successor. However, the Stagea remains popular among car enthusiasts, particularly those seeking a practical and performance-oriented wagon.
