Nissan vans and trucks up to 3.5 t (class N1) – collective page for the EU light-van class: the forward-control truck Cabstar, its larger derivative Atleon, and commercially registered Almera/Primera estates
The EU vehicle class N1 covers light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every Nissan range recorded in that class. Nissan was founded in 1933 in Yokohama and, since 1999, has formed one of the largest automotive alliances in the world together with Renault and later Mitsubishi. The register is dominated by the Cabstar, Nissan's forward-control light truck built for decades, plus its larger derivative sold under its own name, the Atleon, for the upper N1 bracket. Alongside these are commercially registered estate versions of the passenger ranges Almera, Note and Primera (registered in Finland as "Avopakettiauto") and the off-roader Patrol.

The register lists 396 versions, with recorded outputs of 40 to 191 kW, displacements of 988 to 5,660 cm³ across 3 to 8 cylinders, kerb weights of 670 to 3,423 kg and gross vehicle weights of 1,100 to 3,500 kg; width ranges from 1,500 to 2,520 mm, length from 3,480 to 7,170 mm.
With the Cabstar and Atleon, Nissan covers the classic forward-control segment, which in this weight class competes directly with the Iveco Daily, Mercedes Sprinter and the badge-engineered Renault models.
On a used example, what matters on the Cabstar/Atleon is frame corrosion, the condition of the leaf springs and, on the older diesel engines, the injection pump, and on the car-derived estates the high mileage typical of commercial use. Spare parts are well supplied through the Nissan network for the Cabstar range, more limited for older Atleon variants.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
