Stagea

The Nissan Stagea was introduced in 1996 as a response to the growing demand for versatile vehicles that could offer both performance and utility. It was built on the same platform as the Nissan Skyline, allowing it to share engines and drivetrains with its sportier sibling. The Stagea was particularly popular in Japan, where it was often seen as a more practical alternative to the Skyline GT-R, offering similar performance with the added benefit of increased cargo space. Over its production run, the Stagea underwent several updates, including the introduction of the more powerful RB26DETT engine in the Autech version, which further cemented its reputation as a high-performance wagon.
