Equipment and practical details

Nissan Avenir · Generation 1 · Japan · 05.1990 - 01.1999. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.

Folding rear seats
This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
Rear drum brakes
For a version with rear drum brakes, identify parts by body code and specification. Front disc brakes do not imply the same rear brake layout.
Rear torsion-beam suspension
For a version with a rear torsion beam, confirm the suspension specification and mountings in the parts catalogue. Check the rear layout separately from the front suspension.
