Nissan Avenir

The Nissan Avenir is a line of station wagons beginning production in 1990 by Nissan of Japan, aimed primarily at the commercial market. It replaced the long-serving Nissan Bluebird wagon.

It was initially a station wagon version of the Nissan Primera, but was eventually spun off into its own line in 1998. The nameplate was seen in Japan, New Zealand, Russia and other countries importing used JDM cars.

It has a lower budget version - the Nissan Expert which is still in production.
