"Nissan Primera R10" is a D-class passenger car, mass-produced from the 90th to the 95th year. The car was produced in different bodies. These are sedans, hatchbacks and station wagons. The machine quickly gained popularity in the world market. She is no less in demand now. Today, the price of this Nissan has dropped significantly, which makes it possible to consider the model as a budget car "for everyday use." Let's take a closer look at this machine.

Design

"Nissan Primera P10" was produced in three different trim levels. And they differed not only in the level of equipment, but also in design. In the maximum version of the GT, the Nissan Primera R10 was equipped with spoilers, alloy wheels and door sills. Also, the modifications differed in the design of the bumpers. Flagship equipment is as follows:

Despite the GT nameplate, it's hard to call this car a sports car. The car has a simple and smooth body shape. Similar lines were also practiced on the Mitsubishi Lancer of the 90s. But back to our Nissan Primera R10.

Front has a sturdy bumper with a wide black molding, a pair of foglights and a compact grille. Headlights - with rounded edges, vaguely reminiscent of the American "Ford Scorpio". On the wings are orange repeaters. On the side, the Nissan Primera R10 is an unremarkable middle-class sedan.

As for the other bodies (like the station wagon as pictured above), they are almost identical in design. You are unlikely to be recognizable in the stream of other cars.

Salon

The interior design is made without any frills. Despite belonging to the D-class, there are no wooden inserts on the panel. The center console contains a modest climate control unit, a cassette player and a cigarette lighter. At the bottom of the console there is a small niche for small things. Interior trim - fabric or velor, depending on the configuration. The steering wheel was also different. So, on the basic versions of the LX, it is two-spoke. More expensive configurations included a three-spoke wheel with beautiful stitching.

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

The steering column is equipped with a sufficient adjustment range. The driver's seat has a lumbar support adjustment in three positions. The backrest and headrest are also adjustable. The instrument panel 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 age of the car, sitting inside is comfortable and pleasant. The car is comfortable when traveling long distances. Soundproofing is good. The upholstery of the seats and door cards is not easily soiled.

Specifications

Initially, a carburetor engine was installed. The 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 distributed injection. Power increased to 100 horsepower. Also in the lineup was a two-liter engine. "Nissan Primera P10" 2.0 developed a power of 115 horsepower. A mono-injector was used here as an injection. But the Japanese did not stand still and in the year 93 released a new power unit SR20 DE.

With the same volume, he already developed 135 horsepower. Diesel engines were also present in the lineup, namely the two-liter LD20 with 75 horsepower.

Dynamics

This figure varied significantly between diesel and gasoline engines. The weakest 75-horsepower LD20 accelerated the Example to hundreds in 16.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 165 kilometers per hour.

Dynamicscarburetor engine was higher. So, up to a hundred "Example 1.6" 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 an automatic or manual transmission for 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 a major overhaul, these motors "run" about the same. In terms of maintenance, injection units do not cause problems. What can not be said about the first "carburetors" - the car often twitched during acceleration due to misalignment of the device.

Regarding the boxes, the fifth gear synchronizer loosens up on the manual transmission. Oddly enough, but all the others work without problems, although they are much more often used. The owners of the first Daewoo Nexia also face a similar problem. Fifth gear can only be included with peregazovki. Fortunately, the repair of the box is very cheap. And spare parts for the Nissan Primera can be bought at disassembly, in good condition.

Chassis

The car uses a non-standard suspension scheme. There is a "three-lever" in front. The exception is station wagons - the usual MacPherson suspension is installed here. However, it is the "three-lever" that provides excellent handling and stability on the road. Behind - a dependent beam on springs. In terms of handling, the car is very clear and predictable. Even withWith “tired” silent blocks, she does not “prowl” along the road. This is one of the main advantages of the Japanese "Examples".

"Prima Nissan" - price

You can find a good copy on 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 carbureted versions. Those who do not want to invest heavily in a cheap foreign car should pay attention to models with manual transmission.

Conclusion

So, we found out what the Nissan Primera R10 has reviews, specifications and price. In 1996, the second generation of the legendary model, the P11, was born. The car has a more modern design and powerful engines (now there are no carburetors in the lineup). If you have a larger budget, you should pay attention to it.
