The official launch of the Primera P11 was in September 1996 as a notchback and hatchback. A station wagon version of this model was not built until the first facelift, instead the W10 Traveler of the previous model was still available. The new edition of the Primera had grown in all dimensions and offered more space in the interior. The P11 could also come up with greatly improved safety equipment. So were double airbags front, pretensioners and ABS in each version as standard on board.
The chassis has also been greatly improved. Although the double wishbone front axle came from the previous model Primera P10 , the rear axle suspension was completely changed. The so-called compact control arm rear axle, which has a Scott-Russell linkage, was used. Although this was already used in the Almera N15 and Maxima A32 , the compact link rear axle in the Primera P11 was combined for the first time with the double wishbone front axle. The chassis, which was tuned for the Nürburgring Nordschleife , received good reviews for its handling.

Motorization
When the Primera P11 was launched, three gasoline engines with manifold injection and a diesel engine were available. The petrol engines came with slight modifications from the previous P10 model, only a 2.0l engine with 131 hp was added to the range. Among the petrol engines, a new 2,0l- came turbodiesel with swirl chamber injection and 90 hp added. The turbodiesel was not redeveloped, but rather the well-known CD20 diesel from the P10 and Sunny . Only a permanently working turbocharger was used and the engine was named CD20T. In April 1997, the range of engines was expanded to include a sports model, the GT, with 150 hp from a 2.0l engine.
Nissan only offered engines that were designed as inline four-cylinder engines . The petrol engines have 16 valves , which are driven by a timing chain via two overhead camshafts ( DOHC ). The diesel engine only has 8 valves, which are operated via an overhead camshaft ( OHC ). Here the valve is controlled by a toothed belt .

The first facelift of the P11 took place in September 1997 and the Primera was then internally referred to as the P11-120. Some technical and visual changes have been made and the equipment of the variants has been revised. The 1.6 and 2.0 liter engines received an increase in performance and the safety equipment was improved. With immediate effect, all 2.0 models received a larger brake system on the front axle with a diameter of 280 mm, as previously installed in the GT. In addition, an electronic brake force distribution (EBD) was introduced and side airbags became standard. The revised version hardly differs optically from the predecessor and is mainly recognizable by the change in the rear lights, where the indicators are now yellow instead of white.
With the facelift, a Traveler based on the Primera P11 was introduced as the WP11-120 for the first time . This replaced the station wagon version of the previous generation of the Primera that was still being sold and, like the sedan, was manufactured by Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK) in Sunderland .
Equipment variants
The equipment variants have been renamed with this model. The GX was combined to form the basic equipment, Si and SRi under Motion, SLX to Competence, SE to Ambiente and GT to TopSport. In addition, there was now a rear center armrest in the equipment.
There was also a special edition of the facelift based on TopSport. It was called STWline and was limited to 200 vehicles. This model also had Cromaflair (flip-flop) paint, 17 "alloy wheels (a special series from BBS ), leather sports seats, lowering, aluminum decor in the interior and stainless steel sill strips .
Motorization
In the course of the facelift, the engines were revised. The 1.6 now had 100 hp, and the 2.0 with 115 hp was withdrawn from the range.

The P11 was only given a more extensive facelift in Europe with the P11-144 version. It took place in September 1999 and, in contrast to the previous models, can be recognized immediately by a modified front, a modified rear and a corresponding side line (sills, decorative strips, etc.). New seats and instruments were installed in the interior and the dashboard did not remain unchanged either.
Despite major changes to the sheet metal lining of the sedan, its wheelbase and chassis remained unchanged, but the external length of the body increased by a total of 26 mm. The headlights and taillights were kept in clear glass optics and an electrical release was attached to the trunk lid.
The exterior of the Traveler , which is referred to as WP11-144 in this version , did not change as much as the sedan. The basic shape of the bodyshell remained almost unchanged. At the front, the station wagon was given a new face and the side line was given a freshening up with new sills and trim. With the exception of the bumper, the rear section was taken over unchanged from the previous model, so unlocking the trunk lid remained mechanical.
In addition, the engine range has been revised and some technical changes have been made. The safety equipment was supplemented by standard head airbags and a modified brake system, which still had EBD, was installed with a mechanical brake assistant . The equipment variants were refined with standard automatic air conditioning and xenon light in the 2.0 models as well as the 1.8 Elegance.
At the end of 2000, changes were made to the P11-144 again, some of which were savings measures prescribed by the group brother Renault. Seals on the bonnet, tailgate and headlights as well as duplicate seals on the doors were removed. A further change in the brake system with a different brake booster and smaller brake discs on the rear axle as well as the elimination of the sports equipment were further measures. The 1.6l engine has also been revised. The last version of the P11 series can be recognized by the fact that the antenna is now in the front roof area and a modified steering wheel has been installed.
In June 2002 the model change to the successor Primera P12 was carried out.

Motorization
With the introduction of the P11-144, the engine range was revised again. At the start of sales for the Primera in Europe, a 1.8l four-cylinder engine with 113 hp was available for the first time, the valve control of which also takes place via two overhead camshafts and a timing chain. Furthermore, the 2.0l engine with 131 HP was taken out of the range and the 150 HP version throttled to 140 HP. The 1.6l petrol engine (until early 2001) and the diesel engine remained unchanged.

Motorsport
The Nissan Primera P11 was used in worldwide touring car racing in various racing series from 1997 and was developed on the basis of the series model Primera GT. For example, he competed in Sweden, South Africa (driver and brand title 1997–1999), Japan and Turkey. But the Primera was also represented in the German STW racing series and the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). The vehicles were front-wheel drive, built by Ray Mallock Limited and developed 320 hp with the SR20DE engine optimized for racing.
In the BTCC, the racing primera won the makes championship in the 1998 season and achieved 2nd place in the drivers' championship with Anthony Reid . In the following year Nissan was able to secure the constructors 'championship again and the drivers Laurent Aïello and David Leslie achieved first and second places in the drivers' championship. With this success, Nissan had achieved its goals and the manufacturer then left the racing series.
In the current 1997 season of the STW, the racing P11 was used for the first time as a replacement for the outdated predecessor P10. Nissan was able to increase its successes and left this racing series after the most successful season to date in 1998, in which the drivers Roland Asch and Michael Krumm finished 8th and 9th in the overall standings.
