Nissan Vanette - a series of light trucks in the performance of the van and minibus. The Vanette model Nissan makes in the performance of a van and with an onboard platform or chassis with a cab (Truck) and a minibus version with a capacity from two to eight people, which makes this car suitable for use in families where one of the members has rights with passenger category B. Variants of the van (Practic and Van) and minibus (Combi-5 and Combi-8) have been produced since 1979 in Long versions with a long base (2405 mm) and overall dimensions of 3900x1605x1770 and a short (2075 mm) wheelbase with overall dimensions of 4230x1605x1990 mm, which turned out to be very popular at the time.
The model has a rounded design of the car body, frame chassis and independent front double-lever spring suspension, which contributed to the popularity of the model because of its strength. Full weight - 2220–2585 kg, loading capacity of vans - from 610, onboard cars - 700 kg. On the chassis, you can install different types of bodies, and the van can be ordered in all-wheel drive design with switchable front wheel drive. In the range of minibuses offered to customers by Nissan Motor Ibenca there is also a comfortable four or seven-seater modification of the Coach.
The finishing of this model is close to the passenger one (velor folding chairs with armrests), and depending on the type of cargo compartment can be equal to 4.28-4.95 cubic meters. The Vanette models were equipped with reliable and simple in design carburettor engines with a working volume of 1.2 liters, 1.4 liters, 1.5 liters and capacity from 69 to 82 hp. and a 2.0-liter (63 hp.) diesel. Nissan Vanette Practic was equipped with a 2.4-liter 101-horsepower injection engine. Since May 1986, the second generation Vanette went into production in Japan, which differed then fashionable angular outlines of the body and rear spring suspension.
The gamma of engines was supplemented with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel in 79 hp, as well as with carburetor and injection engines with a working volume of 1.8 l, 2.0 l and 2.4 l with capacity from 88 to 120 hp. On the model for the Japanese market installed 4 - and 5-speed manual transmissions and 4-band "automatic". In the early 90s, the production of the Vanette model began, which already has a modern one-dimensional layout, but retains the traditional rear-wheel drive design. Japanese models are made in European style, with semi-elliptical bodywork, that is, the engine and front axle are brought forward in front of the cabin and are under the first row of seats.
Due to the displacement of the engine by 850 mm for the front axle, an ideal weight distribution was achieved (50 to 50%). Spanish-made Nissan Vanette is a purely commercial version of the Serena minivan. Load capacity of the machine is quite sufficient - from 535 to 740 kg, depending on the version, useful volume up to 4.8 cubic meters. In the stream, the Nissan Serena feels quite confident, not least due to the flexible engine with a displacement of 2.0 liters and a power of 126 hp. Besides it, another English engine with a 1.6-liter capacity of 98 hp is proposed.
and Japanese diesel engine capacity of 2.0 liters (CD20T) with 66 hp In 1995, a 2.3-liter diesel engine with 135 hp was added to the engine range. Although the CD20T is not considered to be a very reliable engine, but with timely oil change (after 5000 km and of course using at least Korean oils), there are no problems with fuel consumption, power and compression. The engines are aggregated with a 5-speed manual gearbox, for an additional fee they installed an “automatic”, it is mainly found on the Japanese all-wheel drive version - Nissan Vanette. The "mechanics" is very noisy scenes when shifting gears.
