In November last year Thailand was the first country in Asia and Oceania to launch the all-new Nissan Almera, with its 1.0-liter turbo engine. Yes, Nissan has decided to downsize the engine of its best selling family sedan in ASEAN and this will be welcomed as its yearly road tax will be low and fuel consumption will be favorable. Now we have news that ETCM will be launching this car in Malaysia in 2020….not sure when yet.
Designed to be energetic, provocative, and engagingly modern, the vehicle was revealed at a world-class event titled “Challenge All Beliefs” in Bangkok – reflecting how the all-new Almera challenges all previously held ideas about sedans to give Thai consumers new levels of refinement and safety features.
The Almera’s new, lighter 1.0-liter turbo engine, HRA0, delivers greater power and better fuel efficiency, with a maximum power output of 100 PS, torque of 152 Nm and fuel consumption of 23.3 kilometers per liter*. This results in better acceleration and better power output than previous generations of the Almera.
The new Almera incorporates a sleek, comfortable and spacious design that leaves a lasting first impression that drivers can be proud of, along with smart technologies that meet the needs of Nissan’s valued customers, especially young families and millennials.
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 new Almera include the V-motion grille, boomerang-shaped headlamps and tail lamps, kick-up C-pillars, and a floating roof.
The new Almera’s interior has also been totally redesigned to accommodate a new instrument panel, infotainment screen, steering wheel and seats. 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.
Another area where the all-new Almera stands out is its Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies that provide front, side and rear safety monitoring and intervention. The exciting technology is a key component of Nissan’s vision of how vehicles are driven, powered and integrated into society.
Technology is a top priority in the Almera. Best-in-class safety innovations include Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. With four cameras on the front, rear and side of the vehicle, the new Almera offers Intelligent Around View Monitor and Moving Object Detection.
The NissanConnect multi-infotainment system with 8-inch touchscreen Color Display Audio (AIVI) also keeps customers ahead of the curve by bringing infotainment, navigation, safety, security and more under a single platform, with seamless connection via smartphone.
The all-new Nissan Almera comes in five grade levels – S, E, EL, V and VL – and six dynamic colors: Radiant Red, Monarch Orange, Storm White, Black Star, Gun Metallic and Brilliant Silver.
