The name 'Pulsar' is taken from pulsar (portmanteau of pulsating star), a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star. Various Pulsar-based models were exported as international market conditions dictated, sometimes labeled as 'Sunny', 'Cherry' or 'Sentra', while the internationally labeled product was actually a Pulsar and not a Japanese market Sunny or Cherry.

The Pulsar sold in Japan originally served as the intermediate model offered at Nissan dealerships Nissan Cherry Store between the Nissan Violet and the Cherry, while different versions of the Pulsar sold at other Japanese networks served as the base model, with other larger Nissan products. Although Pulsar models were front-wheel drive from introduction, Nissan did offer four-wheel drive as an option on select models internationally. The original Pulsar was a hatchback to be sold exclusively at a different Nissan Japan dealership network called Nissan Cherry Store as a larger five-door hatchback alternative to the Nissan Cherry. In 2014, a European-only replacement for the Tiida was introduced using the Pulsar nameplate. These were based on the Sylphy (B17) sedan and Tiida (C12) hatchback, the latter also sold in Thailand under the Pulsar name. In 2013, Nissan replaced the Tiida in Australia and New Zealand with two new models badged as Pulsar.

This arrangement continued until the introduction of the Nissan Tiida (C11) in 2005 at this time the Pulsar name was retired. The Nissan Pulsar ( Japanese: 日産・パルサー, Hepburn: Nissan Parusā) is a line of automobiles produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan from 1978 until 2000, when it was replaced by the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy in the Japanese market.īetween 20, the name 'Pulsar' has been used in Australia and New Zealand on rebadged versions of the Sylphy.
