forever advancing the way people move through the world.

there are over 126 dealers nationwide, so servicing your Nissan Primastar will not be a problem.

MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION
Modern and innovative, with a plunging nose, taut lines and pronounced
wheelarches, the Nissan Primastar is strong and expressive, breaking the
mould of conventional ‘box type’ styling.
The Nissan Primastar’s front design incorporates the famous Nissan
honeycomb grille, combined headlamps and indicators in stylish, extra
large headlamp housings, ensuring that you can see and be seen more
easily. This feature extends to the vertical rear lamp clusters, while
wraparound side protection mouldings and large bumpers convey
a feeling of safety and solidity.
STEP INSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Inside its spacious cabin, the Nissan Primastar has all the style and
comfort of a passenger car including an air-conditioner in the rear
of the vehicle. The high-quality trim is smart and inviting, and the
impressive levels of equipment and instrumentation combine comfort
with safety and performance, making every drive an effortless
experience.
Driver-friendly technology includes power steering, an audio system,
air-conditioning via a newly designed ventilation console, a door locking
switch, rear heater switch, power windows and central locking doors.
With the Nissan Primastar - every journey is a reward.

DRIVE BUSINESS CLASS
The wide windscreen and large rear view mirrors provide optimum visibility,
and the modern car-like dashboard design includes clear instrument display
and cup holders at either end. Extensive storage space, including big
door pockets, compartments for small personal items and an illuminated
glovebox help keep your cab uncluttered. High comfort seating with
3-way adjustment and an adjustable steering wheel reduce driver fatigue
on long journeys.
Get comfortable in the easy-to-walk-through cabin. The dashboard mounted
gear lever is conveniently located for the driver, and its position away from
the cab floor means there is easy access in and around the cab. The Nissan
Primastar also benefits from class-leading sound proofing. High levels of
insulation in the cabin, roof lining and engine compartment work together
with vibration filters on all the links between the suspension and the body
to reduce road and wind noise to a murmur.
08
EASY TO LOAD, HARD TO FILL
With its smooth ride and car-like comfort, the Nissan Primastar is ideal
for carrying any type of cargo. The passenger compartment can be
configured to meet almost any business requirement, transporting cargo
as well as up to nine people. So you can carry your workmates and their
tools or your sports team and their kit, safely and efficiently.
Entry and exit is now even easier with optional sliding doors on both
sides. The Nissan Primastar is well appointed and comfortable with
headrests and 3-point seatbelts on all seats. Yet it’s still practical and
durable enough to withstand the knocks that inevitably come from hauling
equipment every day.
Work made easy
Responsive on the street, the Nisan Primastar handles like a car and is
equipped with your choice of high performance diesel engines. Because
driving should be the easy part of work.
MOVING YOUR BUSINESS
A new engine gives the Nissan Primastar outstanding performance and
efficiency. The class-leading 1.9 litre, Euro 4 compliant, dCi diesel engine
is available with 74kW and 240Nm outputs, providing easy load hauling,
quiet cruising and vigorous acceleration.
Direct injection provides better fuel economy, while the common
rail system improves performance, reduces noise levels and lowers
emissions. Electronically regulated exhaust gas recirculation reduces
nitrogen oxide emissions. And the engine is equipped with an intercooler
to improve efficiency and reliability without reduced boost or response.

GEARED FOR SUCCESS
Equipped with a sturdy 6 speed gearbox, the Nissan Primastar is a pleasure
to drive. The wider spread of gear ratios means high torque at low speeds,
allowing you to take full advantage of the diesel engine. The spread of
ratios also allows for reduced engine speeds, so there is less wear and tear
on the engine, reduced noise and better fuel consumption. Finally, six gears
mean better response in intermediate gears.
SMOOT H ON THE ROAD, SAFER FOR THE LOAD
The Nissan Primastar drives like a passenger car, thanks largely to its
suspension. At the front, an anti-roll bar is attached directly to the spring/
damper unit, ensuring steering precision and exceptional ride comfort. At the
rear, the torsion-tube axle is located by trailing arms and a Panhard rod. The
Panhard rod is a rigid bar that connects one end of the axle to the body on
the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar is secured, preventing any sideways
movement of the axle. This provides the ideal compromise between comfort
and roadholding, as well as filtering out vibrations that generate road noise.
Keeping your business safe
The Nissan Primastar was designed to keep you and your cargo or passengers
as safe as possible so you can drive with confidence and concentrate on
business. With a range of active and passive safety systems, you can be sure
to end each journey as you started it – cool, calm and in control.
Disc brakes all round and ventilated front discs with twin-piston calipers
provide fade resistant braking and set a benchmark in the compact mini bus
sector. The Nissan Primastar stops as well as it drives, offering one of the
best braking performances in its class. Electronic Brake force Distribution
(EBD) gives you predictable and balanced stopping power, even in the
unlikely event of a partial failure. EBD is available with ABS to prevent the
wheels from locking, keeping you in control.
The tough, reinforced cabin structure provides maximum protection in
case of an accident, and dual airbags and seatbelts with pretensioners are
standard. The windscreen has a large glass area that provides excellent
visibility, the rear light is mounted in a high position to avoid accidental
damage, and low impact protection bumpers protect the body from daily
bumps and scratches. Lastly, remote central door locking is particularly
useful when unloading in busy streets.

LESS DOWNTIME MORE UP TIME FOR Y OUR BUSINESS
The Nissan Primastar’s common rail diesel engines are designed to take
on the daily rigors of stop-and-start driving. These engines deliver fuel
efficiency that minimise running costs and maximise profits. The 90 litre
fuel tank gives you a long range between refueling. Added to that is a
3-year warranty, an anti-corrosion warranty and wide service intervals,
so your business won’t suffer from unnecessary maintenance costs.

Since 4 October 2006, all new Nissan vehicles are fitted with the Microdot hi-tech anti-theft security
feature as standard. The Microdot technology offers added peace of mind from a security perspective.
A sticker applied to the vehicle is a visual indication that the vehicle has been fitted with Nissan Microdot,
and this is also a deterrent to would-be thieves. Some insurance houses are offering premium discounts
to customers if they have this anti-theft feature fitted to their vehicles.
