help Nissan Presage FAQ

When was the Nissan Presage actually produced?

The Nissan Presage was built from 1998 to 2009 across two generations, not in the 1970s-80s as some listings claim. It was essentially a Japanese domestic market minivan that disappeared without a direct successor when Nissan consolidated around the Serena and Elgrand.

Is the Nissan Presage related to the Nissan Bassara?

Yes, the first-generation Presage (U30, launched 1998) had a twin sister model, the Nissan Bassara, sold through a different Nissan dealer channel. The Bassara was dropped around 2003 when the second-generation Presage (U31) arrived.

How many seats does the Nissan Presage have?

It offered seven- or eight-passenger layouts depending on trim, with captain's chairs in some second rows. The roomy three-row cabin rather than driving dynamics was its main selling point.

Was the Nissan Presage ever sold outside Japan, and what engines did it use?

It was primarily a Japan-market model, with only limited exports to right-hand-drive markets such as Singapore. The second generation offered engines up to a 3.5-litre V6, alongside smaller four-cylinder options.
