NISSAN has added a new version of the Primera to the range called Activ, which bridges the gap between E and S levels of trim. The 1.6-litre Primera Activ is priced at £12,995, while the 1.8-litre is £500 more, and includes a unique chrome mesh grille, 15in alloy wheels and various cosmetic changes.

The 1.6 Activ has £1,400 extra standard equipment over the E, but costs £395 more, while the 1.8-litre costs £455 less than the previous entry-level 1.8 in S trim.
