The N30 Bassara was a MPV manufactured from November 1999 to June 2003 at Nissan's production facility in Tochigi, with the second generation at the Kyushu plant. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word "Vajara", which means "the prize or object of desire that encourages someone to yield to temptation." The Bassara competed with the Honda Odyssey (Japan-spec) and the Toyota Gaia. It shared a platform with the Nissan R'nessa and was replaced by the Nissan Presage in 2003.

A trim level called the Axis was offered with a performance image. Other trim levels were offered called J, J Splendens, Highway Star, V, V touring, X, X Leather Package, Luxury Package X, and the X Touring.
