How many Nissan Crews are left in New Zealand?
Super rare 1 in 467,487 on the road Built 1993-1997 Japanese import
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
Built for work. The Crew was a plain rear-wheel-drive sedan launched in 1993 mainly for Japan's taxi fleets, driving schools and police, using proven parts from older Nissans. Taxi versions had a longer rear door on the kerb side. A private-buyer version came with a straight six, and the rear-drive layout has made it a cult choice for drifting.
