The new Nissan Primera R12 was able to surprise many. First of all, this applies to the updated exterior and interior of the car. For a long time we have not seen such a bold move by conservatives from Japan. This is a feature of the Nissan Primera P12. Reviews can tell a lot of interesting things. But we decided to check the car on our own. This is the only true way to make sure of everything.
You can talk about the design of this car for quite some time. But at this point, everyone is already accustomed to his appearance. Not until the end, of course, but still. If in the 2000s the car was very unusual, then in a fairly short time, everything changed. It seems that designers and engineers deliberately lurked for ten years to impress the auto world. Nissan Primera P12, reviews about which went around the Internet, is really surprising.
The same applies to the car interior. He is also extremely unusual.
An untrained driver may be a little discouraged. Everything is surprisingly beautiful, and most importantly - practically nothing is annoying, which is more inherent in other Japanese cars, but not this one. Some flaws, of course, remained, but this is not what it was before. There are no problems with
sun glare, the presence of which is so annoying when you need to urgently switch the settings of the air conditioner, but nothing is visible.
As for power plants, their choice is quite large. Starting from a few 1.6 liter units, ending with 2.5 liter units. Cars that were aimed at the Russian consumer are equipped with gasoline engines. The 1.6-liter engine produces 109 horsepower, and this is the minimum figure for a series of engines installed on the Nissan Primera P12. Reviews say that this is the best option for those who often have to think about fuel consumption. At the same time, one does not have to rely on the signs of at least some dynamics.
Here the presence of a 1.8-liter engine under the hood looks more worthy. Even despite the fact that the number of “horses” is not impressive, it is much more pleasant to manage it. You begin to feel that the gas pedal is designed to drive the car forward. Another part of the cars intended for the European buyer is equipped with a 2-liter power unit, the power of which is all 140 "horses". In this regard, this is the same Nissan Primera P12. Reviews of drivers confirm this.
To everyone's surprise, the car is equipped with a large number of different gearboxes. Base cars Nissan Primera P12 equipped with a 5-speed gearbox. Engines that have an increased volume are installed together with a 4-speed automatic. 2-liter versions, as expected, are equipped with a 6-speed manual or CVT.
As for the suspension, it is tuned for a comfortable ride, which affects handling. To be honest, the Japanese did not succeed in either.
What really pleases is the reliability of the chassis. In this regard, the Japanese have always been distinguished by the fact that the suspension could cover 100,000 km, and this is minimal.
In general, there are still disadvantages, although there are undoubtedly advantages. I wonder what does this car look like on the background of the Nissan Primera P11? Reviews about them are very similar, but still they are different.
