Nissan’s updated Primera range has gone on sale with more equipment, small prices rises for some trim levels and special introductory offers on entry-level S-trimmed cars.

Revised steering and updated suspension are claimed to have improved ride and handling, while a refreshed cabin features new stowage bins, dashboard displays and instruments. Saloon versions are no longer available.

As before, the range starts at £14,600 for a 114bhp 1.8-litre car in S trim, although this model is available for £13,995 until September with alloy wheels and a colour rear-view camera fitted for free.

Nissan has launched a new SX trim, which costs £650 more than S models and adds 17-inch alloys, cruise control, automatic wipers, an automatically dimming rear-view mirror and a six-CD autochanger.

SE cars go up by £50 and now start at £15,750, but they gain a DVD-based satellite-navigation system and cruise control and lose the electric sunroof.

Prices are up £250 on SVE versions which start at £17,250. Extra kit includes leather upholstery, heated, electrically adjustable front seats and brighter xenon headlights.

Top-of-the range T-spec cars are priced at £20,150 in both 138bhp 2.0-litre petrol and 136bhp 2.2-litre diesel form. The petrol is now only available with the continuously variable automatic transmission, but is £650 cheaper than before. A tyre pressure monitoring system is added.

All versions except S models come with a colour rear-view camera which helps with reversing and parking.
