The new Nissan Primera R12 was able to surprise many. First of all, it concerns the updated exterior and interior of the car. For a long time we have not seen such a bold move from the 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 ourselves. This is the only sure way to make sure everything.

You can talk about the design of this car for quite some time. But by now everyone is used to his appearance. Not completely, of course, but still. If back in the 2000s the car was very unusual, then in a fairly short time everything has changed. It seems that designers and engineers deliberately hid for a dozen years to impress the auto world. Nissan Primera P12, reviews of which bypassed the Internet, is really surprising.

The same applies to the interior of the car. He is also extremely unusual.

Untrained drivermaybe a little discouraged. Everything is surprisingly beautiful, and most importantly, there is practically nothing 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. No problem with sun glare, the presence of which is so annoying when you urgently need to change the air conditioning settings, but you can’t see anything.

As for the power plants, their choice is quite large. Starting from several 1.6 liter units, ending with 2.5 liter ones. The cars that were sent to 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 cannot hope for signs of at least some dynamics.

Here is the presence under the hood 1, 8-liter engine looks more worthy. Even despite the fact that the number of "horses" is not impressive, it is much more pleasant to drive one. 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 still the same Nissan Primera P12. Feedback from drivers confirms this.

To the surprise of everyone, the car is equipped with a large number of different gearboxes. Base Nissan vehiclesPrimera P12 are equipped with a 5-speed gearbox. Engines that have an increased volume are installed together with a 4-speed automatic. The 2-litre versions, as expected, are equipped with a 6-speed manual or CVT.

As for the suspension, it is tuned for a comfortable ride, which suffers from handling. To be honest, the Japanese did not succeed in either.

What really pleases is the reliability of the undercarriage. In this regard, the Japanese have always been distinguished by the fact that the suspension could travel 100,000 km, and this is minimal.

In general, there are still disadvantages, although, of course, there are advantages. I wonder how this car looks against the background of the Nissan Primera P11? Reviews about them are very similar, but still they are different.
