710 was the first generation (1973-1977) of the Nissan Violet. Available in Sedan and Hardtop models, both of which had fastback styling (the difference is the door frames - sedans have frames around the door windows, while hardtops have no frames around the door glass). The 710 Hardtop has up-sweeping rear side glass, while 2-door sedan had down-sweeping rear side glass.

Overview

Nissan Violet was the C-classᵂ (compact) model family for the Nissan sales organization. It was a badge-engineered version of the compact Datsun car, with different body panels and interior but same running gear & chassis/suspension. 710 did not use IRS in most of its models, making it handy for export markets to slot below the cost of the 610 with IRS.

* Sold by Nissan Cherry Store as a larger companion model
* L-engine powered
* Same size as Datsun 610 Bluebird
* SSS models came with IRS

Voilet and Bluebird

Violet was the C-class (compact) model family for the Nissan sales organization (later named Nissan Blue). It was a badge-engineered version of the Bluebird 610, with differed body and interior but same running gear & chassis/suspension. 710 did not use IRS in most of its models, making it handy for export markets to slot below the cost of the 610 with IRS. Bluebird moved upscale into the luxury sedan sedan market with availability of long-wheelbase six-cylinder 610 and 810 models, while Violet A10 continued as the lesser compact sedan.
