Nissan NX Performance Overview
Nissan’s NX appears in this dataset as a short-run early-1990s compact coupe, represented here by 3 verified tests spanning 1991 to 1991. All recorded results fall within the N13 generation, using the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter SR20DE gasoline four-cylinder rated at 140 hp. That narrow sample still defines a clear performance profile: the 1991 2000 Coupe established the model’s quickest measured launch at 7.5 seconds to 60 mph, while the same trim also appears at 7.6 seconds and 8.1 seconds across separate instrumented tests.
Quarter-mile data shows a similarly tight spread, with the 1991 2000 Coupe posting the line’s best result at 15.8 seconds at 87 mph, against an average of 16.2 seconds at 86.3 mph. Because the available record covers only one model year, there is no later performance era within the test set; instead, the NX’s story here is essentially a snapshot of its launch specification. As it stands today in the available numbers, the N13-era 2000 Coupe remains both the first and current benchmark for the nameplate, with a current-generation best of 7.5 seconds to 60 mph and gasoline power throughout.

How we verify Nissan NX performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Nissan NX trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
