FactThe second Lafesta was really a Mazda Premacy in a different suit, built for Nissan by its rival under contract.
The second-generation Lafesta is a version of the third-generation Mazda Premacy supplied to Nissan by Mazda on an original equipment manufacturer basis, with a restyled front end and flatter door panels than the Premacy. Japanese models went on sale on 15 June 2011, in Highway Star J and G grades, with the G Supremo added in April 2012, and production ran from May 2011 to March 2018. It is offered with 2.0-litre MZR LF-VD, LF-VDS and LF-VE (AWD) engines and, later, the SKYACTIV-G, and sales ended following the discontinuation of the Mazda Premacy.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Nissan built the Lafesta on a Renault Scenic platform, a French people-mover underpinning a Japanese one.
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.
