Y10 Overview:
Nissan Wingroad (Y10). With 135 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1050 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A car with an extended rear cargo area, combining passenger comfort with increased storage. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Nissan Wingroad Y10 was not tested by Euro NCAP. As a late 1990s JDM model, it likely lacks many modern safety features and would offer basic occupant protection by today's standards.
1.5 16V (105 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

The 1.5L GA15DE paired with an automatic transmission offers smooth, relaxed driving. Performance is modest, suitable for urban environments, though acceleration will be less brisk than the manual.
