The 1980 Datsun 510, while carrying the familiar nameplate, was a far cry from its legendary predecessors. While the first-generation 510 (1968-1973) cemented Datsun's reputation for reliability, affordability, and sporty handling, the final iteration, produced from 1977 to 1983, was a different animal entirely. The 1980 model was essentially a rebadged and slightly modified version of the Nissan Sunny, a popular compact car designed for the Japanese market. It was smaller, less powerful, and less sporty than its predecessors, reflecting the changing landscape of the global automotive industry towards fuel efficiency and practicality.

The 1980 Datsun 510 came with a 1.3 liter four-cylinder engine, producing a modest 73 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic transmission. While it wasn't known for its performance, the 510 did offer decent fuel economy and a comfortable ride. The styling, though not as iconic as the earlier models, was still sleek and modern for its time. It featured a roomy interior, a comfortable ride, and a level of build quality that was typical of Datsun. Despite its lack of sporting character, the 1980 Datsun 510 became a mainstay in the small-car segment, particularly attracting buyers who desired a reliable and economical vehicle for daily commuting. However, it lacked the sporting spirit and iconic status established by its predecessors, fading into obscurity as the Datsun brand transitioned into Nissan.
