"Nissan Primera P10" (Nissan Primera): specifications and reviews

"Nissan Primera P10" is a D-class passenger car, produced serially from 90th to 95th year. The car was produced in different bodies. They are sedans, hatchbacks and station wagons. The car quickly gained popularity in the world market. It is still in demand today. Today, this Nissan dropped significantly, which makes it possible to view the model as a budget car "for everyday use". Let's get to know this machine.

Design

"Nissan Primera P10" was produced in three different trim levels. And they differed not only in terms of equipment, but also in design. In the maximum performance, the GT "Nissan Primera P10" was equipped with spoilers, light alloy wheels and trim on the thresholds. Also, modifications differed in the design of bumpers. The flagship configuration is as follows:

Despite the nameplate GT, it is difficult to name this car. The car is distinguished by simple and smooth body shapes. Similar lines were also practiced on the Mitsubishi Lancer of the 90s. But let's return to our car "Nissan Primera P10".

In front there is a strong bumper with a wide black molding, a pair of fog lamps and a compact grille. Headlights - with rounded edges, remotely resemble the American "Ford Scorpio". On the wings are orange repeaters of turns. On the side of the "Nissan Primera P10" is an indistinguishable middle-class sedan.
As for the other bodies (for example, the station wagon, as in the photo above), they have almost identical design. You will hardly be recognizable in the flow of other machines.

Salon

The interior design is made without any frills. Despite belonging to the D-class, there are no wooden panels on the panel. The central console contains a modest climate control unit, a cassette recorder and a cigarette lighter. In the lower part of the console there is a small niche for small things. Interior trim - fabric or velor, depending on the equipment. The steering wheel was also different. So, on the base versions of the LX it is two-spoke. More expensive equipment included the presence of a three-spoke wheel with a beautiful stitching.

Reviews say that the steering wheel on the "example" is very convenient - it does not slip and it lies well in the hands. The seats have a pronounced lateral support. By the way, the GT version (one of the most expensive) was not with velor, but with a fabric salon. In the photo above - it is that interior.

The steering column is equipped with a sufficient range of adjustments. The driver's seat has the adjustment of the lumbar support in three positions. Also adjustable backrest and headrest. The dashboard is very archaic. However, it is not overloaded with unnecessary arrows and is easy to read.

In general, the owners leave only positive emotions about the salon. Despite the 25-year-old age of the car, sitting inside is comfortable and pleasant. The machine is comfortable when traveling for long distances. Sound insulation at a good level. Upholstery of seats and door cards without marking.

Specifications

Initially, the carburetor engine was installed. "Nissan Primera P10" of the first series was equipped with a 90-horsepower 1.6-liter engine. After 3 years, its design was finalized by installing a distributed injection. Power increased to 100 horsepower. Also in the line there was a two-liter engine. "Nissan Primera P10" 2.0 developed a power of 115 horsepower. As an injection, a monoinjector was used here. But the Japanese did not stand still and in 1993 they released a new power unit SR20 DE.

At the same volume, he developed already 135 horsepower of power. Present in the line and diesel engines, namely the two-liter LD20 at 75 horsepower.

Dynamics

This figure was significantly different between diesel and gasoline engines. The weakest 75-strong LD20 dispersed the "Example" to hundreds in 16.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 165 kilometers per hour.

The dynamics of the carburetor motor was higher. So, up to a hundred "Example 1.6" was accelerated in 12 seconds. As for the flagship 115-horsepower engine, it easily fit into the "top ten". The maximum speed was 200 kilometers per hour. All power units were equipped with automatic or manual transmission at 4 and 5 speeds respectively.

Reviews say that the engines of the "Examples" in the 10th body are very reliable. Their resource is 300 thousand kilometers. After major repairs, these motors "walk" about the same number. In terms of maintenance, injector units do not cause problems. What can not be said about the first "carburettors" - the car often twitched during overclocking due to misalignments of the device.

Concerning the boxes, the synchronizer of the fifth gear is blown at the manual gearbox. Strangely enough, but all the others work without problems, although they are much more often used. A similar problem is faced by the owners of the first "Daewoo Nexia". The fifth gear can only be included with gas passes. Fortunately, the repair box is very cheap. And spare parts for Nissan Primera can be bought at disassemblies, in good condition.

Chassis

The car uses a non-standard suspension scheme. In front is a "three-lever". The exception is universals - here is the usual suspension of McPherson. However, it is the "three-lever" that provides excellent handling and stability on the road. Rear - a dependent beam on the springs. In terms of handling, the machine is very clear and predictable. Even with "tired" silentblocks, she does not "scour" along the road. This is one of the main advantages of the Japanese "Examples".

"Example Nissan" - price

Find a good copy in the secondary market for 2.0-2.5 thousand dollars.

Despite such an advanced age, the car pleases with its reliability. Future buyers should beware of diesel and carburetor versions. Those who do not want to invest heavily in a cheap foreign car, it is necessary to pay attention to models with manual transmission.

Conclusion

So, we found out what the "Nissan Primera P10" has reviews, specifications and price. In the 96th the second generation of the legendary model P11 appeared. The car has a more modern design and powerful engines (now the line no longer carburetor). If you have a larger budget, you should pay attention to it.
