won the Car of the Year Japan Award. The Silvia was no longer exported, however; rebadged 180SX were instead sold in most markets. European versions of this car were still known as 200SX. In North America, the S13 (180SX front, all three different bodystyles) was known as the 240SX. The Nissan 200SX moniker was on hiatus in North America, but it would return on a two-door coupe variant of the B14 Nissan Sunny/Sentra (199599). The S13 was one of the first vehicles to incorporate Nissan's multi-link rear suspension, which had been previewed in concept cars such as the Nissan MID4 in previous years. For the first time, it also had a four-wheel steering system known as HICAS-II. HICAS-II was modified and called SuperHICAS in 1990. For certain variants, the S13 also saw the introduction of a viscous-type limited slip differential.
