Nissan Prairie Overview
The Nissan Prairie is classed as a compact MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) which was produced by the Japanese automobile company Nissan. This vehicle was in production from 1982 to 1998 over two generations, when it was replaced by the Nissan Serena. This vehicle could seat up to 7 people and was not too spacious inside compared with competitors in this class. The boot space was pretty good but was not the best to drive. It was well built and was reasonably priced, giving you a lot of room for your money. It was common for this vehicle to be converted into vehicle for disabled users.

Nissan Prairie History
The first generation (1982-88) was a really boxy looking vehicle which didn’t appeal to a lot of people and received mixed reviews. It was available in front wheel drive or 4WD. One of the best selling features of this vehicle was that it had rear sliding doors on both sides. This version was a 5 seater with the option of making it into a 7 seater.
The second generation (1988-98) had some new styling, giving a much smoother appearance. This vehicle done away with the smaller engines and was only available with a 2.0L engine in Europe and a larger 2.4L in some markets. The European market version was replaced by the larger Nissan Serena.
