NISSAN PRIMERA (2002-TO DATE)产Primera(2002年至今)
Nissan banished any residual memories of the dull but worthy third generation Primera in the striking shape of the fourth generation car, introduced in 2002.尼桑放逐任何残余平淡而值得记忆的第三代派美在打形第四代车在2002年推出. With a number of technological breakthroughs for the medium range class, the Primera was rapidly hailed as the car that could dethrone the all-conquering Mondeo.一批技术突破,为中期阶级该派美快速被誉为轿车什么都可以无坚不摧蒙迪欧. Unfortunately the pace of progress has meant that it didn?t turn out that way for the likeable Nissan, but now that used examples are filtering into the network in meaningful numbers, it?s possible to land this interesting car at surprisingly affordable prices.不幸的进展速度意味着它雾化?笔变成这样可爱的尼桑,如今用来过滤进入网络的例子有意义号码?这个有趣的土地可以承受的价格车出乎意料.
HISTORY历史
Before this fourth generation car, the Primera was notable for two things.此前第四代轿车,派美两点值得注意. Mainstream models were beloved by cabbies and few others whereas the GT version offered a great sports package but was blessed with a face only its mother could love.敬爱的主流模式,而其他几个计程车和燃气轮机提供了巨大的体育版,但有一个一揽子只有母亲能面对爱情. February 2002 saw the all-new Primera radically alter our preconceptions about middleweight Nissans.2002年2月发现的全新派美彻底改变我们对middleweightnissans成见. With a sleek, bulbous body shape and an interior that heralded a new family design for the Japanese company, the Primera instantly made all its rivals look a little old fashioned.以轻巧、体形和铜铃,预示着一场新的室内设计家日本公司派美的瞬间作了它的所有对手看来有点老土. The diesel engine initially offered was a 124bhp turbodiesel that was a little long in the tooth, but Nissan soon saw fit to replace this unit with a 136bhp common-rail dCi diesel engine.开办初期的柴油机是124bhpturbodiesel是有点长的牙齿,但日产很快见到了这个单位适合取代136bhp共轨柴油机协会. A factory-warranted 1.8-litre LPG version was also introduced at the tail end of 2002.一个工厂需要1.8-每升石油气版还推出尾声2002.
Changes brought in during the Spring of 2004 saw the Primera?s exterior styling unaltered but various modifications to the interior and boosted equipment levels made the car a more desirable proposition.在变革期间,2004年春天派美?收盘外观造型不变,但各种变通内政和装备水平,带动了汽车更为可取的主张. Rear parking cameras and satellite navigation on all bar the entry level models made the Primera one of the best equipped cars in its class.后方停车摄像机和卫星导航在所有酒吧入门级型号作派美配备精良的车阶级.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫
This Primera was styled in a Munich design studio and whereas the Nissan culture used to be to dilute the more radical excesses of the initial sketches to the point of timidity, the board okayed the Primera design with no changes.这一派美头衔在慕尼黑设计室和文化,而曾是日产淡化更激进过度的初始点畏首畏尾的素描、理事会以上的设计无派美的变化.
So let?s start with the basics.让?从基本收盘. There are hatch, saloon and estate models offered in S, SX, SE, SVE or T-spec levels of trim.有舱口,球馆推出的型号和地产、萱、硒的SVE或是T光谱层次修剪. Though priced a little higher than Primera customers have paid in the past, Nissan is quick to point out that the car is safer, more comfortable and better refined, as well as being significantly better equipped than its rivals.虽然售价略高于派美客户支付过去尼桑是迅速指出,汽车安全、更舒适、更精、以及被大大超过其竞争对手更好.
Forget all that though: it?s the styling that?s going to cause most comment if and when one appears in your driveway.忘记一切,虽然:?收盘的造型?收盘评论势将引起大多数人看来,一旦你行车. The exterior lines are pleasantly swoopy with a very European feel to them.外观线条非常愉快swoopy同欧洲感觉他们. Designed to look like a "proper driver?s car", the Primera scores in that crucial first few seconds of acquaintance.设计宛若"正当司机?收盘车",在这关键的一次得分派美数秒的熟人. The rear three-quarter view has that high-haunched look of a Skoda Octavia, the curves, bevels and planes being very well judged.后方三季度期已高腋octavia透着一种小轿车的曲线斜切机被很好看. Even the corporate Nissan nose manages to avoid looking like something that?s melted in the sun, instead integrating between bumper and bonnet without that suspicion of afterthought that permeates many earlier Nissan models.尼桑公司甚至鼻管,以避免像一些?收盘溶化在太阳头盖和保险杠之间的整合不是没有这种事,上行下效,许多先前怀疑尼桑型号.
Underneath, the bodywork is a stretched and reinforced version of the Almera platform, and although the Primera has a decent road presence, the evidence of the tape measure shows it to be a good few inches shy of Passat and Mondeo dimensions.下面,车体是捉襟见肘,增强版的almera平台虽然已经派美象样道存在皮尺的证据显示它是一个很好的帕萨特、蒙迪欧数寸害羞层面. It?s longer, taller and wider than its predecessor, however, and uses many modern packaging tricks to increase interior space.?收盘较长,大于942米,但是,许多利用现代包装手法增加室内空间. Widening the track and stretching the wheelbase help too: the boot on the four-door car is a useful shape and able top swallow 465 litres.拉轨伸缩的轴距和帮助过:车尾箱的四门轿车,是一个有益的形状,能顶吞下465公升. Running counter to many contemporary designs, the four and five door cars have been styled to look nigh-on identical, whilst the estate version goes for a trendy Sportwagon-style sloping roofline.许多现代设计背道而驰,四门轿车和5已经摆开看匪夷所思月完全相同,虽然地产版无二时尚sportwagon式roofline坡.
The interior is even more adventurous than the voluptuous bodyshell.内政部更为冒险出口,比bodyshell. Three main dials are perched inside a central binnacle, below which is housed an LCD screen with a ?keyboard?三大先拨内有滞环binnacle,下面是一个液晶显示屏以住?键盘? of various buttons on a shelf in front of it.各种按钮在货架前面. A less extreme version of this school of thought was trialed in the X-Trail off roader, another model which, incidentally, uses the Primera platform.那么极端版本是试行这一学派在X光径过路由器,另一型号、顺便一提,用派美平台. The centrally-mounted instruments and bold use of colour contrasting found favour with X-Trail customers and Nissan have developed the theme here.中央装仪器和大胆使用颜色对比发现,赞成与X客户和尼桑步道发展主题. Even entry-level cars now get a colour LCD screen and electric rear windows, although plusher variants also feature voice-activated electronic functions and a DVD-based satellite navigation system is also available.即使入门级轿车现在找到彩色液晶显示屏和后排电动窗虽然车窗也变专题声音激活了DVD的功能和电子型卫星导航系统也可用. All models feature climate-controlled air conditioning, front, side and curtain airbags, a 6-speaker CD stereo, a trip computer, electric mirrors, remote central locking, front electric windows and ABS.所有型号的气候特征控制空调战线,一边和窗帘气袋,6议长影音立体声、出行电脑电动镜,中央锁偏远、电动窗、ABS的前面.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices open at £7,000 for a 51 plated 1.8-litre S four-door, with the SE model commanding £7,500.公开价格为51英镑7000镀一点八公升的四门、硒与示范指挥7500英镑. SVE trim on an equivalent plate will fetch £8,100.笔挺的SVE就相当于8100英镑的价码将板块. The five-door models tack another £300 onto these prices.5门300英镑转入另一型号恁这些价格. The 2.0-litre cars are a little punchier and start at £8,000 for an SE five door, with an SE estate opening proceedings at £8,400.<2.0公升汽车,开始有点punchier为8000英镑硒五门硒与地产开程序8400英镑.

The 2.2-litre dCi-engined cars are still relatively thin on the ground and your best chance of turning one up may well be a demonstrator car from a Nissan franchised dealer.2.2公升协会引擎车在地面上还是比较薄的最佳机会,使他们和你一起来可能是从日产汽车将示威专利说道. Insurance for the Primera reflects its excellent safety and security provision as well as the fact that there?s no flagship sports model, ranging in scope from Group 8 to a modest Group 11.保险反映出其出色的派美安全保障条款以及存在的事实?收盘没有旗舰体育模型八国集团的范围从轻微到组11.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Privately owned Primeras are unlikely to have been thrashed, such is their mature appeal.民营primeras不可能一直商讨,这就是他们的成熟上诉. Watch out for high mileage company hacks, but even these should stand up to the rigours of a 40,000 mile year better than most.提防公司高里程棍、但即使这些应该站起来了40000英里的磨练胜过一年. Nissan trialed a great deal of new electronics systems on the Primera and although it has so far proved admirably robust, expect big bills if the rear view camera or the Birdview DVD navigation system does go wrong.尼桑试行了大量新的电子系统、派美虽然迄今证明钦佩强劲法案若预期的大后方观照相机或鸟瞰的DVD导航系统是否出错. Mechanically the Primera is as close to perfection as you?re likely to find in this sector.机械是接近完美的派美你?再可能找到这个部门. Damaged catalysts can be costly to repair and check on oil or coolant leaks.催化剂可以修复损坏的昂贵检查油或冷却剂外泄. Make sure that diesel sellers aren?t valuing a 2.2-litre TD as a superior 2.2-litre dCi version.卖家西哈莫尼使柴油?笔重2.2公升运输署作为上级2.2公升协会版本.

(approx. based on a 2002 Primera 1.8S) A full exhaust will be around £320 and an exchange alternator is about £160.(约基于2002派美1.8s)320英镑左右将全部尾气和交流发电机约160英镑.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Though the 111bhp 1.8-litre petrol unit is always going to be the most popular of the three Primera engines available in the UK, it?s not the most interesting.虽然111bhp1.8公升汽油的单位总是将最受欢迎的三派美引擎可在英国?最有趣的不是. More diverting attractions lie with the 2.0-litre petrol unit ?更多景点所在的引水2.0公升汽油的单位? a powerplant that cranks out 139bhp and which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission with sequential manual override switching between six artificially mandated gears.曲柄出了电站,这是139bhp和交配有期徒刑6速度手工传输或无级变速传动与顺序之间切换六个人为手工凌驾授权齿轮. A 138bhp common rail turbodiesel completes the engine line-up, offered with a six-speed manual only.共轨turbodiesel完成了138bhp引擎阵容,提供了6速手册只有. Slow initial sales of this model prompted Nissan to reduce its price and up the engine output, making the entry-level 2.2Di S a far more tempting proposition.初次销售缓慢促使这一模式降低价格、尼桑发动机产量最多、使入门级2.2di收盘更为诱人的主张.
Nissan?s engineers claim to have made ride and handling a key priority and boast that of all the cars selected to benchmark the Primera?s chassis and suspension set-up against, only the BMW 3 Series produced a better all-round result.尼桑?收盘工程师声称已安然和优先处理的一个关键,自诩为所有车的基准选定派美?收盘底盘和悬浮成立反对只有宝马三号系列制作更好的全方位的结果. As would be expected, they decline to mention what those vanquished by the Primera were, but many would question why Nissan would go out of their way to fix something that manifestly wasn?t broken.正如预料将他们提那些衰落派美分别战胜了,但是很多人会问,为什么会走出自己的路尼桑定一些明显.其余?笔打破.
Performance is nothing outstanding, the 2.0-litre petrol car capable of sprinting to 60mph in 10.9 seconds in CVT form.突出表现是,2.0公升的汽油车能在9月10日冲刺至60mph秒无级变速形式. The CVT gearbox would probably benefit from driver experience, as novices can make excruciatingly jerky progress.大概得益于变速箱的无级变速司机经验,可以作为沙弥极为肉干的进步. The diesel engine has to be the pick of the range, offering that sprightly acceleration with an average fuel consumption figure of nearly 49mpg.柴油机车来的程、开办这活泼平均耗油加速数字将近49mpg.
OVERALL 总体
Although cars like the Mazda6 and the Honda Accord soon stole the Nissan Primera?s thunder, this has only served to make it more of a used bargain than ever.虽然喜欢MAZDA6的轿车和本田雅阁的产Primera偷快?收盘惊雷,这只是一个用来使其更便宜多了. With a range of solid engines, a whole heap of design flair and a quirky and distinctive personality, the Primera does almost everything asked of it.一系列固体发动机,全堆设计、气派和鲜明个性流露,该派美几乎没有效用. Keen drivers may find it a little soft-edged but this will mean that few cars will have fallen into the ?wrong?热衷司机可能觉得有点软刃而这将意味着将有几车坠?错了吗? hands.手中. Really canny buyers may prefer to wait a little while longer for the depreciation curve to flatten still further, but even at today?s prices the Primera represents a real catch.坎尼真买家可能宁愿再等一下为进一步贬值曲线平平,但即使在今天?实际收盘价格的派美代表渔获. Who?d have thought it would take a medium range Nissan to show that modernity needn?t cost the earth and sensible needn?t always equal dull?谁?丁想到它会采取中期尼桑显示现代方案不需要?地球和理智方案不需要笔费用?笔始终平等平淡?
