The Datsun 1400 Saloon, produced from 1968 to 1973, was a compact, four-door sedan that marked a significant step in Datsun's journey to becoming a global automotive force. It was the successor to the popular Datsun Bluebird 510, introducing a more refined and spacious design, catering to a wider range of buyers. The 1400 featured a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, generating around 70 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. While not a powerhouse, the engine offered decent fuel economy and reliability, making it a practical choice for everyday driving. The suspension, using MacPherson struts in the front and a live axle in the rear, provided a comfortable ride and decent handling for the time. The interior featured a simple yet functional layout, with comfortable seating for four passengers and a modest cargo area.

The Datsun 1400 Saloon, while not as visually striking as some of its contemporaries, was a solid and dependable car. It was known for its durability, making it popular with families and commuters. The 1400's success helped Datsun establish itself as a serious contender in the international market, paving the way for future models like the iconic 240Z sports car. While not a performance car, the 1400 offered practicality and affordability, appealing to a wide audience. Its simple design and robust construction made it a reliable companion for many years, earning its place in automotive history as a symbol of Datsun's growing reputation for quality and value.
