FactNissan built the Lafesta on a Renault Scenic platform, a French people-mover underpinning a Japanese one.
The Nissan Lafesta was unveiled on September 2, 2004 and first released on December 2, 2004, with a sales target of 5,000 a month. It shares a platform with the Renault Scénic and Renault Mégane, was the successor to the Nissan Prairie/Liberty and also replaced the Nissan Avenir, and competed with the Toyota Isis, Honda Stream, Toyota Wish, Subaru Exiga and Mazda Premacy. The vehicle offers sliding doors on both sides, one of which is power-assisted, Nissan's Intelligent key system, a GPS navigation system, a reverse camera and a very large sunroof, and it is powered by the 2.0-litre MR20DE with a CVT. Production of the first generation ran from September 2004 to November 2012.

The second Lafesta was really a Mazda Premacy in a different suit, built for Nissan by its rival under contract.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.

Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.

YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.

The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.

The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.

The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.

Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.

The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
