The Datsun Skyline C210 Series, produced from 1977 to 1981, marked a significant shift in the iconic Skyline lineage. This generation, while still carrying the Skyline name, diverged from its sporty predecessors, opting for a more practical and fuel-efficient approach. The C210, available in a variety of body styles including a two-door sedan, four-door sedan, three-door wagon, and a four-door van, aimed to capture a broader audience with its increased versatility. Unlike its predecessors, the C210 was primarily powered by smaller, more economical engines like the 1.3-liter L13 and 1.6-liter L16, a departure from the larger, more powerful engines that had defined earlier Skylines. Although its performance was toned down, the C210 boasted improved fuel efficiency, a critical factor in the era of the first energy crisis.

While the C210 Series may have lacked the sporty aura of its predecessors, it offered a reliable and practical package. The car was known for its robust construction, durable engines, and simple design, making it a popular choice for commuters and families. The C210 was also notable for its rear-wheel drive layout, a configuration that provided a balanced handling experience, especially on slippery surfaces. Despite its shift in focus, the C210 Series continued to uphold the tradition of Japanese engineering reliability and value, paving the way for future generations of Skylines to evolve and redefine themselves throughout the years.
