The Nissan Crew is a mid-size sedan manufactured by Nissan between 1993 and 2009, sold only in Japan and mostly used as taxicabs, driver training, and by law enforcement agencies as police cars.[1] Its FR layout and simple construction created a steady following converting Crews into drifting and tuning cars.[2]
Its main competitor was the Toyota Comfort.[1] An indication of its intended market as a taxi is that the b-pillar is set 5 cm (2 in) further forward on the passenger (left) side, making the driver's side door and the left rear door larger than the others since these two would see the majority of use.[2] The rear left door was also available with power opening.
