This Forgotten JDM Luxury Sedan Will Surprise You – Nissan Cedric Review

Описание: In today’s video, I get behind the wheel of a 1997 Nissan Cedric, a true piece of JDM luxury history. This is one of Japan’s most iconic sedans — elegant, smooth, and powered by the legendary VQ30DET turbo V6 engine.

I’ll walk you through the interior, the plush 90s details, and how it feels to drive a right-hand-drive luxury car that was never sold in the U.S. We’ll explore what makes it special, the power delivery, how it compares to modern cars, and why the Cedric deserves more love in the JDM community.

🚗 Specs & Highlights

VQ30DET 3.0L V6 Turbo (270 HP / RWD)

4-speed automatic with smooth, elegant drive

Plush Japanese luxury interior from the 90s

Rear tray table, wood trim, analog clock, and comfort beyond its years

⚠️ This car isn’t mine — it belongs to a friend — but it’s one of the coolest rides I’ve driven lately. If you’re into JDM imports or looking for your next project car, you might want to check this one out!
