About the Bailey Nissan Elgrand E51
The Nissan Elgrand E51, often referred to as the 'King of MPVs', is a premium Japanese import that has become a staple of the UK bespoke campervan scene. Unlike traditional commercial van conversions, the Elgrand was designed as a luxury passenger vehicle, providing a level of refinement, soundproofing, and ride quality that rivals high-end saloons. When professionally converted, these vehicles typically feature a high-quality pop-top roof and a side-galley kitchen, transforming a sophisticated people-carrier into a highly capable and stylish micro-camper.
Driving the E51 is a standout experience thanks to its powerful V6 engine options and smooth automatic gearbox, making long-distance touring effortless. The cabin is packed with 'creature comforts' such as dual-zone climate control, soft-close sliding doors, and often 360-degree camera systems. Its compact footprint is particularly well-suited to the UK's narrow lanes and height-restricted car parks, serving double duty as both a luxury daily driver and a weekend escape vehicle.

Is the Nissan Elgrand E51 a practical campervan?
The Nissan Elgrand E51 is a premium Japanese import that functions as both a luxury daily driver and a micro-camper. With a length of 4.83m and a 2550kg MTPLM, it offers car-like driving dynamics and high-grade cab specifications. Professional conversions typically include a pop-top roof and a side-galley kitchen, accommodating between 2 and 4 berths. While it provides superior refinement over commercial vans, buyers should note the higher fuel consumption of the V6 engines and the need for specialist knowledge regarding its Japanese technology.
- Compact 4.83m length and 1.81m width suitable for narrow lanes.
- Choice of 2.5L or 3.5L V6 petrol engines with automatic transmission.
- Flexible sleeping for 2 to 4 people via a rock-and-roll bed and pop-top roof.
- Side conversion layout featuring a gas hob and stainless steel sink.
- Refined interior with dual-zone climate control and soft-close doors.
Worth knowing: Fuel consumption is higher due to the powerful V6 petrol engines. Internal storage is limited compared to larger coachbuilt motorhomes. Specialist insurance is typically required for these Japanese imports.
Buying a Nissan Elgrand E51 campervan
Who it suits
- • Drivers who want a luxury vehicle that fits into height-restricted car parks.
- • Couples or small families seeking a refined alternative to traditional commercial van conversions.
- • Tourers who prioritise a smooth automatic gearbox and V6 performance for long-distance travel.
Reasons to consider it
- • It offers a high base specification including wood-grain trim and premium sound systems.
- • The 1.91m height and compact footprint make it highly manoeuvrable in UK settings.
- • It provides a versatile 2 to 4 berth layout within a 4.83m total length.
What to check
- • Confirm the specific V6 engine size, as both 2.5L and 3.5L versions were produced.
- • Verify the quality of the professional pop-top installation and the rock-and-roll bed mechanism.
- • Inspect the side-galley kitchen components, including the gas hob and sink functionality.
- • Check for the presence of premium features like the 360-degree camera and climate control.
Worth knowing: Most units are imports, which may require specific knowledge of Japanese technology and electronics. The 450kg payload must be managed carefully when four people are travelling.
Compare the Bailey Nissan Elgrand E51 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Nissan Elgrand E51 | 4 | 2550 kg | 4.83 m | £12,500 to £28,000 |
| Panama P/12 | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.97 m | £48,000 to £59,000 |
| Toyota Proace | 4 | 2800 kg | 4.95 m | £25,000 to £65,000 |
The Nissan Elgrand E51 occupies a specific niche between luxury MPVs and micro-campers. Compared to the Toyota Proace, it offers a more premium cab environment and V6 power, though the Proace has a higher 2800kg MTPLM. When measured against coachbuilt options like the Compass Drifter 410, the Elgrand is significantly more compact at 4.83m versus 5.95m, trading internal living space for ease of parking and daily usability. While the Swift Trekker 540 provides a larger 3500kg platform, the Elgrand remains a more affordable entry point into the 4 berth market with prices starting from 12500.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and maintenance of the E51
- Utilise the 450kg payload efficiently by choosing lightweight camping equipment.
- Regularly test the electronic soft-close sliding doors to ensure smooth operation.
- Make use of the 360-degree camera system, if fitted, to protect the 1.81m wide bodywork.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the fuel costs associated with the 2.5L or 3.5L V6 petrol engines.
- • Assuming standard van insurance will cover a Japanese import conversion without modification.
Worth knowing: Ensure the 2550kg MTPLM is not exceeded when fully loaded with water and gear. Be aware that the 1.91m height may still be restricted in some very low multi-storey car parks.
