Introducing the Nissan Primastar
Nissan has brought back the Primastar name, which again finds itself attached to this dependable panel van.
It acts as a hard-working companion for you and your business. Generously equipped and clearly created by those who understand the needs of the working professional, this is a commercial vehicle you can depend on.
And because every job is different, Nissan allow you to tailor the Primastar to meet your personal requirements. So, whether it's transporting equipment or moving people between destinations, the Primastar has you covered.
It doesn't take long to find Nissan's latest driver aids after climbing into the driver's seat, which are programmed to keep you safe when driving. Under the bonnet you get the latest in fuel efficient engine technology, which translates to more pulling-power and better economy.
Payload and Capacity
Load volume ranges between 5.2 and 8.6 cubic metres depending on which version of the Primastar you opt for, meaning you'll never be short of cargo space. Depending on the specification you go for, you'll benefit from a payload capacity of up to 1,227kg.
As you'd expect, you can opt for a standard panel van. If you need a van that can transport workers, then the crew van is ideal. However, if your sole priority is moving a lot of people, then you need the Combi. There's also a Platform Cab, too.
Technology and Safety
There's a lot of useful technology and safety features available when configuring your Primastar.
Features like Blind Spot Warning ensure driving the Primastar is made easier and safer which is complemented further by Lane Departure Warning and Intelligent Emergency Braking. Traffic Sign Recognition and Electronic Stability ensure each journey is easier to manage too.
Cruise Control, Hill Start Assist, Rear View Camera and Full Park Assist again make time spent in the Primastar much easier, which along with the features previously mentioned, mean the Primastar is a fantastic van to live with. Turn-by-turn navigation and mobile phone connectivity further ensure you have everything you need.
Economy and Performance
The Primastar is powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine, that's available in a variety of different outputs:
- 110bhp / 221lb ft of torque
- 130bhp / 243lb ft of torque
- 150bhp / 258lb ft of torque
- 170bhp / 280lb ft of torque
A 6-speed manual gearbox is available across the range of engines, although you'll need to opt for either the 150bhp or 170bhp variant if you wish to benefit from a 6-speed automatic transmission.
All versions of the Primastar come with 'Eco mode', which optimises torque deployment and provides smoother acceleration for a more fuel efficient journey. It's worth noting that the Primastar meets Euro 6D regulations, which is the minimum required for entering low emission zones, such as the ULEZ in London.
