Nissan Almera Launch
The current-gen Nissan Almera was launched for the Philippine market in October 2021. It then received a facelift in July 2023 with three different variants: the top-spec VL, the mid-spec VE, and the entry-level EL.
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.
Nissan Almera Interior
All occupants of the Almera are kept cool by a single-zone automatic climate control system. The VL and VE trims then get a digital gauge cluster, leather seat wraps, and an intelligent key with a remote engine start feature. Its second row then comes with a 60:40 split-folding function.
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.
Platform & Chassis
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 refreshed Almera is currently in its fourth-generation form. It uses the Nissan V platform.
Engine & Drivetrain
Under the hood of the new Almera is a 1.0-liter inline-3 turbocharged engine. It can produce up to 98 horsepower and 152 Nm of torque at maximum. Power is then sent to its front wheels via an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission. The new Almera also has idle start/stop technology.
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.
