Nissan Primera P10

Automobiles

The first-generation Nissan Primera, the P10, launched in Japan in February 1990, and Nissan replaced the United Kingdom's Bluebird with the slightly smaller Primera in September that year. Since 1986 Nissan had built rebadged Bluebirds for Europe at its factory in Washington, Tyne and Wear, and it showed the Primera X concept at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show as part of Project 901, designing the car specifically for European buyers. It had a conventional front-wheel-drive chassis, a five-speed manual gearbox and an optional four-speed automatic. Power came from 1.6 litre carbureted and 1.8 and 2.0 litre injection petrol engines, with a 2.0 litre diesel added in Europe from 1992. Bodystyles were four- and five-door saloons, and a five-door estate, the Primera Traveller, was made only in Japan. It was the first Nissan to put multi-link front suspension on a front-wheel-drive car, and in the United States it was rebadged as the Infiniti G20.
