In addition to that, one can also argue that these Almera colors might also make it more visible to the road.
Of note, the Cayenne Red in particular, feels like this model’s signature color.
The Almera in Premium Corona Orange
Sleek and Stealthy
If you want to highlight the sleekness of the Almera without being too ostentatious, then there are the Galaxy Black and Gun Metallic colors. These two are the darker options for the 2022 Almera.
The Almera in Galaxy Black
For the Galaxy Black color option, these are available for the VL N-Sport variant, and the VE CVT variant. The Gun Metallic color option meanwhile, is available for all 2022 Almera trims.

Clean white
Like most sedans in the market today, a Nissan Almera in white is also available. Specifically, it is called Pearl White, and one can say that it strikes a balance between being able to blend, while still presenting the attractive curves and exterior details of the vehicle.
The Pearl White option for the Almera comes with an additional fee of Php 15,000
Like the Cayenne red and Premium Corona Orange color options, the Pearl White color is available for the VL N-Sport, VE CVT, and the VE MT variants. It is however, a Php 15,000 option.
Incognito mode
Last but not the least is the Brilliant Silver. Silver of course, makes the Almera blend into the traffic, but not so much that it hides the sedan’s exterior details.

If you’re after this color, note that this is available for the VE CVT, VE MT, and EL variants only.

Nissan Almera Exterior
On the outside, the Almera reflects the current Nissan design language. It still comes with a variation of the V-motion grille and a streamlined silhouette that rides on a set of 16-inch or 15-inch wheels
Other exterior equipment available on the top-spec Almera includes LED headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, and LED taillights.

Technology & Safety Features
The higher-spec Almera variants get an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. The said headunit is then linked to a six-piece speaker system.
Only the VL gets the full version of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety suite. This collection of tech features includes blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, high beam assist, and forward emergency braking. Both the VL and the VE are also kitted out with an around-view monitor and hill-start assist.
Also exclusive to the VL is the NissanConnect Services. This allows a user to remotely find his or her Almera. It likewise provides a remote engine start/stop feature, and it also has various alerts for various situations.
Standard safety features found on all Almera variants include anti-lock braking, a total of six airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, a car alarm, an engine immobilizer, and stability control. Only the VL gets tire pressure monitoring, but both the latter and the VE trim come with cruise control.

For ride comfort, the Almera uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. Braking is then handled by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake.

The Nissan Almera for the Philippine market is one of the few turbocharged sedans available right now. That said though, some models stand to produce slightly more output regardless of the Nissan model’s use of forced induction. On the flip side, this sedan is one of the few examples that gets an ADAS suite. So in terms of tech, it sits high on the totem pole.
