CLEVER is the word that describes the engineering that went into the newly launched Nissan Almera, a major model change that adds a turbocharger to a 1.0-liter engine and makes this powerplant available from entry to top-of-line variant.
Introduced in a live virtual event broadcasted from the World Trade Center in Pasay City, the all-new Nissan Almera also adds Nissan Intelligent Mobility features, and bolder new design elements compared to the previous model.
For the first time in the passenger car segment, the all-new Almera comes with Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) features that provide monitoring and intervention technology, giving car owners added driving confidence and safety.
These features include Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, as well as the Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection.
The lighter 1.0-liter turbo engine delivers greater power with a maximum power output of 100 PS and 152 Nm of torque which makes it currently best-in-class. The engines are mated to conventional automatic and manual transmission that deliver better fuel efficiency of up to 23.3 kilometers per liter, available in four variants with automatic and manual transmission options.
The all-new Almera incorporates a sleek, comfortable, and spacious design that leaves a lasting first impression on first-time car owners and millennial families alike.
The new design features lower, wider, and longer exterior dimensions using Nissan’s Emotional Geometry design language, while retaining the Almera’s roomy interior space. Key elements of the “Emotional Geometry” design language in the all-new Almera include the V-motion grille, boomerang-shaped LED headlamps and tail lamps, LED Signature Daytime Running Lamps, kick-up C-pillars, and a floating roof.
The interior has also been totally redesigned to accommodate a new 7″ TFT Meter with Integrated Drive-Assist Display, infotainment screen, black leather interiors with contrast stitching, as well as a new D-shaped steering wheel with hands-free, meter, and voice recognition controls. The stylish passenger cabin features high-quality design and exemplary craftsmanship with head and legroom to spare, retaining its reputation for best-in-class roominess.
The infotainment system provides convenience and seamless connectivity with an 8-inch Advanced Touchscreen Display with Apple CarPlay, bringing infotainment, navigation, safety, security, and more under a single platform, with connection via smartphone.
“The all-new Almera is the smart and stylish sedan that first time owners, growing families, and young professionals can trust,” says Atsushi Najima, President and Managing Director of Nissan in the Philippines.” As part of Nissan’s transformation plan in the Philippines, we are offering a unique and exciting challenger in the competitive passenger car segment,” he adds.
The all-new Nissan Almera starts at P728,000 and will be available in six stunning colors: Cayenne Red, Gun Metallic, Galaxy Black, Premium Corona Orange, Brilliant Silver, and Pearl White.
The all-new Almera also comes with a vehicle warranty of five years or 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first for the VE and VL variants. Similar to the Navara and Terra, the warranty of the all-new Nissan Almera is the first in its segment, providing customers a worry-free ownership experience.
