NISSAN SENTRA (1991-1999)

Replacing the much criticized B12 Sentra, this model had more variants but losing the wagon and diesel engine in the process. This vehicle started the introduction of ABS brakes in the competition. Although the entire line-up was replaced by the B14 model, the LEC is sold until 1999.
