In 1999 Nissan decided it was time for a makeover and revealed the facelifted version of the Nissan Primera.
Nissan says that the new model suffered over 600 changes.

Exterior styling wise, we could see that the front became a bit more aggressive, with the flying wings grilles carried over from the previous mode. From the side, the Primera got new alloy wheels and even the shape of the car seemed changed due to the higher waist line.

At the back, the Primera got new rear light clusters with a protective screen. Chrome accents were added to the trunk lid, to match the Nissan badge.

Inside the Primera’s cabin the quality of the materials was increased, with soft plastic on the dashboard.

The steering wheel was comfortable to hold and the black on white dials were easy to read.

The cabin was equipped with cupholders and several storage spaces.

While still using the same old chassis, Nissan managed to increase the backseats’ legroom by sculpting the back of the front seats. Quite interesting.

Talking about room, the trunk size was slightly increased compared to the previous model.

A 2.0-liter engine was available for the 1999 Primera and could be mated to a CVT gearbox than ran very smooth, due to no gear changes.
