If there is such a thing as a 'British' Japanese car, then Nissan's Primera is the original article.如果有这样的事情,作为'英'日本车,那么日产的派美就是原文章. The first one rolled out of the company's Sunderland plant in 1990, built with European steel, screwed together with European parts.第一个推出该公司日达厂于1990年建成欧洲钢铁螺纹连同欧洲部分.

HISTORY历史
The Primera had an unfortunate start in life ?派美都有一个不幸的人生开端? and not only because it replaced the dull and generally unloved Bluebird, the first Nissan car built in the UK.不仅因为它取代了单调普遍被爱蓝鸟、尼桑轿车首次在英国建成. At the time of its launch in 1990, Nissan was arguing with its former British distributor and the Primera suffered in the legal battle.在其1990年发射,尼桑与其争论是前英国及经销商派美遭受官司.
By the time Nissan put things right and established a new dealer network, customers were confused and some remained so right up until the Summer of 1993 when the Series II models were announced with anti-lock brakes, fuel injection and side impact protection beams as standard.尼桑整治的时候,建立一种新的交易网络顾客们有的依然如此混乱直到1993年夏季当系列二宣布同型号防抱死刹车喷油及侧防撞梁为标准.
First generation cars offered a choice of three body styles ?第一代轿车提供了三套体风格? saloon, hatch and estate ?球馆、孵化和产业? with three petrol engines ?3汽油发动机? a 95bhp 1.6, a 121bhp 2.0-litre and a 150bhp 2.0-litre unit.一95bhp1.6,一121bhp2.0公升150bhp及2.0公升单位. A 2.0-litre 75bhp normally aspirated diesel was launched in 1992.一个2.0公升75bhp柴油通常在1992送气.
In the autumn of 1994, the Series III range was announced, recognisable by new light clusters and a chrome grille.1994年秋天,程系列三宣布,根据新的识别和集群铬门锁. Inside, driver airbags were at last standard.车厢,司机气袋终于水准.
Things really changed in 1996 however.然而事情真的改变了96. An all-new Primera was launched, fresh from the doors up, though it looked little different.一支全新派美推出,并汲取了大门,虽然看起来有点不同. Great to drive, it still lacked character.伟大驾驶,但仍缺乏性格. A superb 2.0-litre turbo diesel replaced the poor old two-litre normally-aspirated unit of the old model.高超的2.0公升柴油涡轮穷人取代旧两公升一般送气股旧模式. An estate was launched in April 1998, replacing the first generation model which had soldiered on until then.地产推出1998年4月,第一代模型所取代进行战斗之前.
Slow sales were attributed by the UK importers to the bland looks with the result that a major restyle was commissioned and a revised, much better-looking range launched in September 1999.销售缓慢的原因是由英国进口商看似平淡而造成的重大修改、委托restyle,好多瞻发射射程1999年9月. Inside and out, this car was much more stylish and the range now included a 1.8-litre petrol engine.境内出此车更气派的射程已列入180公升汽油引擎. All trim/equipment designations were new, too, including smart Sport and Sport + versions.所有浪/新装备部队番号,也包括体育和体育+智能版本. This did little to spur customer take up and in late 2001 a boldly styled range of all-new Primeras was announced.这的确有点刺激顾客承担并于2001年年底摆开了一系列大胆的全新primeras公布.
