The Nissan Livina is a great MPV/minvan... if you live in 2006. That’s the year nissan launched the compact MPV at the Guangzhou International Motor Show. The five-seat version is known as Nissan Livina while the seven-seat version is known as the Nissan Geniss, and we don’t like either of them.
But now, a facelifted version has arisen from the depths of the internet, featuring a different front end that’s more in tune with the times.
This green machine is called the Livina C-Gear, basically a regular MPV with plastic armor cladding to protect it from scratches if you want to take it up a dirt road. But ignore the black bits and you notice new, bigger triangular headlamps and a more pronounced grille. There are changes at the back as well, where the tail lights have gone from being tall to being long.
Nissan will make a few changes to the powertrain as well, as the current four-speed automatic gearbox will be replaced by a modern CVT.
