Nissan Elgrand Submodels
The Nissan Elgrand E50 was a high-end minivan built for the Japanese domestic market to compete with Toyota's luxury vans. With bold, top-heavy styling and a commanding presence, it offered a stark contrast to the more utilitarian vans sold in North America. Interiors were a key selling point, featuring rotating captain's chairs, plush upholstery, and advanced electronics for its time, powered by either a gasoline V6 or a turbodiesel inline-4.
Now eligible for import under the 25-year rule, the Elgrand has found a niche with enthusiasts seeking a unique and practical JDM vehicle. Its combination of right-hand drive novelty, spacious and versatile interior, and low cost of entry makes it a popular choice for everything from daily drivers and family haulers to full 'van life' conversions. It offers a level of comfort and distinct style that's hard to find at its price point.
Buying Tips
- Check thoroughly for rust, especially on the underbody, chassis rails, and around the wheel arches, as Japanese roads are often salted.
- The 3.3L VG33E gasoline V6 shares parts with the US-market Nissan Frontier and Xterra, making it easier to service than the QD32ETi turbodiesel, which is known for potential head issues.
- Test all interior electronics, which can be complex. Ensure the power sliding door, automatic curtains, digital climate control, and any factory entertainment systems function correctly.
- As a heavy van, suspension components like bushings and shocks wear out. Listen for clunks and rattles during the test drive and check for tired components.
