context_page_description: The Nissan Pulsar is a subcompact and compact car produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan from 1978 until 2000, when it was replaced by the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy in the Japanese market. Between 2000 and 2005, the name "Pulsar" has been used in Australia and New Zealand on rebadged versions of the Sylphy. This arrangement continued until the introduction of the Nissan Tiida in 2005; at this time the Pulsar name was retired. In 2013, Nissan replaced the Tiida in Australia and New Zealand with two new models badged as Pulsar. These were based on the Nissan Sylphy sedan and Nissan Tiida hatchback, the latter also sold in Thailand under the Pulsar name. In 2014, a European-only replacement for the Tiida was introduced using the Pulsar nameplate.
  The original Pulsar was a hatchback to be sold exclusively at a different Nissan Japan dealership network called Nissan Cherry Store as a larger five-door hatchback alternative to the Nissan Cherry. Although Pulsar models were front-wheel drive from introduction, Nissan did offer four-wheel drive as an option on select models internationally.
context_section_description: On 16 May 2014, Nissan announced that the C13 series Pulsar will be launched in Europe. Based on the CMF platform, this model does not replace the C12 version, but is a European-only alternative. European sales began in March 2015. Confusingly, the C13 Pulsar has been sold in Russia since March 2015 as the C13 series Nissan Tiida. The C13 Pulsar has also been sold in China as the C13 series Nissan Tiida since 2016 after being displayed at the April 2016 Auto China. In Asia, the Nissan Pulsar is launched in Singapore since January 2017 and is the first Southeast Asia country to launch the C13 Pulsar.
  The new Pulsar signifies Nissan's reentry into the highly competitive compact hatchback segment, following the withdrawal of the Tiida from the market in 2011. It marks the first time the Pulsar nameplate has officially been used in mainland Europe, rather than the Cherry, Sunny and Almera nameplates that have been used in Europe over the generations. Initially, the C13 Pulsar is powered by a 113 bhp (84 kW) 1.2-liter DiG-T petrol engine with CVT transmission or a 1.5-liter diesel unit producing 104 bhp (78 kW).
  In October 2014, Nissan introduced the 1.6-liter DIG-T which develops 140 kW (188 hp). The 1.6 model was launched for sale in March 2015.
  Pulsars for sale in Europe were built at Nissan's Barcelona, Spain plant, instead of Sunderland, United Kingdom. The Pulsar was discontinued in Europe on 12 September 2018 due to poor demand, with Spanish production having ended in June of the same year. Projected sales had been 64,000 per year, but in 2017 only 25,183 Pulsars found European buyers.
  In Russia, the Tiida-badged version was assembled in Izhevsk beginning in January 2015, but production only lasted until December of the same year due to low sales.
  The C13 is still sold in China under the Tiida nameplate.
