Nissan Primera car - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: The Nissan Primera is a mid-sized range of automobiles manufactured at plants in the UK and Japan. Since 1988, Nissan had been building Bluebirds—essentially a rebadged home-market Auster or Stanza—for the European market at its factory in Sunderland. While that car was well-built and reliable, it lacked the all-round competency—particularly flair—needed in the large-medium family car sector there. [br]In the autumn of 1990, Nissan replaced the UK Bluebird with the Primera. It had a conventional front-wheel drive chassis and five-speed manual gearbox, with some versions getting the option of a four-speed automatic. Power came from 1.6 L carburettor and 1.8L and 2.0 L injection petrol engines; a 2.0 L diesel followed. Bodystyles were four- and five-door saloons and five-door estate (the last of which was imported from Japan). Equipment levels were also good. [br]What set the Primera apart from its predecessors is that Nissan has deliberately targeted this car at the European market. The result is a car constantly lauded for its ride and handling. The Primera sees Nissan's multi-link front suspension applied to front wheel drive for the first time. The petrol engine received a power upgrade in 1992 which gave the GT version a top speed of around 130 mph. [br]Some five-door UK Primeras were exported back to Japan. [br]There is a station wagon version, called the Nissan Avenir in Japan and New Zealand. However, this is really a separate model because it doesn't share the Primera's platform: the Avenir uses struts up front and 5-link axle in the rear. [br]In the United States, the Japanese-built version of the Primera was rebadged as the G20, and marketed by Nissan from 1990 through 1996 under its then new luxury Infiniti brand. [br]Late in 2001 Nissan introduced the third-generation Nissan Primera, its first all-new car since the collorbation with Renault two years earlier. The new Primera looked similar to the Renault Laguna, but it maintained the old car's hallmarks of comfortable ride, solid build and faultless reliability, even if its handling was tuned more to comfort now. No Infiniti equivalent was released, the Nissan Skyline-based Infiniti G35 replacing it Stateside. [br]New Zealand Primeras were all equipped with CVT transmission, with no manual option, which might have hurt the range's chances there. CVT was available also available in the European 2.0 L and the Japanese 2.5 L (an engine not available in the European range). [br]
