The Nissan Primera at a glance

Produced from 1990 until 2007, each generation of the Nissan Primera built on a reputation for steadfast performance and comfort. Available as a saloon, hatchback or estate, it appeals to families after a simple, roomy and efficient drive. While earlier models could be described as bland, later updates gained sharper styling and enhanced technology. Compared to similar cars like the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra, the Primera often impresses with its strong build quality and sensible running costs. It also comes with an innovative automatic transmission for its time, which makes for smoother acceleration and even better fuel efficiency. Equipment levels are higher than many competitors' too, with features like rear cameras and sat-nav on most later models.

Hire Purchase (HP)

HP is a finance plan that allows you to spread the cost of the car by making monthly payments over an agreed term.

You make higher monthly payments than a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement, so that when you come to the end of the agreement you'll own the car.

Unlike PCP, there are no limits on mileage.

HP could be right for you if want to own the car at the end of the agreement, without the need to make a larger final payment.

  • What are the key safety features of the Nissan Primera?

    Most Nissan Primeras, especially from the late 1990s, offer dual front airbags, ABS and three-point seatbelts. Later models feature improved crash protection, side airbags, and stronger bodies, providing more reassurance for families.

  • What engine options are available with the Nissan Primera?

    The range spans from 1.6- to 2.0-litre petrol engines, with later models introducing a 2.2-litre diesel option. All engines are designed to deliver steady power and longevity.

  • What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Nissan Primera?

    Entry models from the 1990s will have electric windows, central locking and occasional air conditioning. Higher trims (especially from the 2002 generation) add climate control and even integrated navigation. Infotainment tech will naturally feel dated compared to newer rivals.

  • What is the fuel consumption of the Nissan Primera?

    A typical petrol Nissan Primera from the late 1990s returns up to 34mpg. Later diesel models can reach 45mpg or more. Exact figures depend on engine size and driving style, but all versions were designed with economy in mind.

  • What should I check when buying a used Nissan Primera?

    Watch for rust on older cars and make sure electronics, including windows, air con and central locking, are working properly. A full service history helps, as do checks on suspension wear and timing belt changes. For added peace of mind, consider a vehicle check with The AA Vehicle Inspection.

  • Are Nissan Primera cars reliable?

    Reliability is one of the Primera’s strong points, and many can cover high mileages with little trouble. Engines are robust, and major faults are uncommon if the car is cared for with regular servicing and fluid changes.
