This model, known as the "Bluebird" in Japan, represented a departure from the brand's earlier, more utilitarian offerings. The 1400 Saloon was built on a completely new platform and featured a more modern, stylish design, with a sharp, angular profile and a distinctive, wrap-around windshield. This aesthetic change, combined with its advanced engineering, aimed to attract a wider range of customers seeking a comfortable and practical car with a touch of sophistication.

Underneath its sleek exterior, the Datsun 1400 Saloon housed a 1.4 L four-cylinder engine, providing a blend of fuel efficiency and adequate power for everyday driving.

The 1400 Saloon was available in various trim levels, with the top-of-the-line "Deluxe" version offering luxurious features like bucket seats, a wood-grained dashboard, and a vinyl roof. With its blend of attractive styling, reliable performance, and competitive pricing, the Datsun 1400 Saloon proved to be a popular choice in Europe, reinforcing Datsun's growing reputation for producing high-quality and affordable automobiles.
