Nissan’s B-segment contender, the Nissan Almera, was globally unveiled in December 2010 at the Guangzhou Motor Show, and following a typical five year lifecycle for a car in this class, it’s about time for a mid-life facelift soon.
Well, no need for spyshots of half disguised prototypes, as completely undisguised albeit low resolution photos have surfaced from China, on automotive site Auto Sohu.
The Nissna Almera facelift (it’s called the Nissan Sunny in China) gets reshaped headlamps, front grille, bumpers and extra chrome around the fog lamp and boot lid. Those alloy wheels look like they have a new design as well. There could be interior changes or not, we’ll have to wait and see to find out.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Front reminds me of a current volvoz, looks better than the current one, but still Not Pretty.
still fugly!!!!
The problem is the butt, not the face.
It looks like C segment car. Now civic, altis, vios and cerato should get retired.
ceh.. merepek la kau.
From ugly to hideous..
OMG…nothing special…puihhh…
The only way to make the car look pretty is recycle or destroy it! make the whole new face and butt is fail again, then borrow Peter Schreyer to design the car!
Hahaha.. in malaysia just launched recently now already facelifted at China.. malaysia boleh!
As too much effort as it may for such a small car.
Erm.. Sorry to say, this car does not need a facelift, it needs a full plastic surgery. But… that’s just my opinion.
Most likely as I type this, there are already comments on the moderators waiting list, expressing the very obvious fact that it is still Pig-Ugly. But there is not much Nissan could selvage with the original Almera/Sunny looks to begin with, so for this I’d say the looks did improve gving a more premium feel with all that chrome. One thing I do note is the fact that from the 3/4 view, It looks very pre-facelift(and still rather sexy)Volvo S60-ish in appearence with its grill being far lower than the lights and the bumper air inlets arrangement.
but enough of all that, Nissan, yes not TCM but Nissan, we need better spec down here considering that Vios is rumored to already get VSC!! lets start with getting dual airbags across the range.
The front grill, looks weird…
They haven’t done anything to the back yet :l
Ugly. I prefer the pre facelift. Plis dont come here facelift xD
This thing need a bit skirting, a bit weird with its road clearance.
rear bumper seems to have bk-like design, finally.
The front grill makes this ugly Almera looks like Altima.. but Of coz, still ugly….
as ugly as b4…dun let the Korean see this, sure they LMAO.
they suppose to follow proton, from blm to flx. change the front lamp and the bumper too. so it doesn’t look too ‘hanging’ at the rear.
Still ugly. Nissan must really redesign the whole front design. Toyota also redesign Vios become nice. Nissan also must do so.
Yes, almera still looks ugly from every angle especially the front, looks like a noob smiling all the way. But it does makes those purchaser happy when look at it i guessed. LOL
It looks much much better after facelift. Doesn’t like pre facelift that I think I want to drive a truck and ram it’s front, now looks just ugly, not want to kill it.
So basically they should kill it kill it with fireeeeee….Kill it before it lay eyes. :p
although it ugly…..but u can c it getting more n more on the road…..coz it tag on a worthy price….
bad luck almera
facelifted, but still fugly~
like kuih bungkus…
Vios> City=Almera >> preve >> Saga.
Myvi>Saga
Alza>Preve.
Proton @ 4 years.Major problem @ drivetrain especially the engine all readily available for you to headache.. I regret suggesting my father buying Saga for my sister.
cool story bro
rio sedan is much more beautiful
but we’re not getting the rio sedan. are we?
the grill is the problem.
a so-so car just got uglier.
Ugly but still sell like pisang goreng panas. We Malaysian dont have choice. Everything here is mahal.
Still looks ugly.
I don’t mind its front grill, still okay IMO.
But the back, the proportion and size/height is just wrong. The height of the back should not be lower than the front.
saga much better with proportionate body
Imho, the facelift version just looks better. They made the front more like Teana and the rear is much Sentra alike. Well, no matter how many bashers out there, this car is still sell like a hot cake
No one gives a damn…
Ugly gets uglier. Seriously this car is one of the ugliest cars on the road and whatever Nissan does to it, it is still damn ugly.
already have dugong,now come flowerhorn.
wait till the catfish vios comes, haha!
it needs the facelift. strong competition on the way.
buruk betul…
(budak poton mesti cakap, “preve lg lawa”) kehkeh…
Hahahahahahahaha…..nissan…nissan….
WTF is wrong with nissan?? They got their designer from china? Such a fugly car. No matter what they try to do to it, it’s just uglier than the toyota dugong(vios).
So fast facelift? Sales going down already?
Its not fast facelift, Nissan Almera has been in China for quite some time.
It is launched late in Malaysia, as usual.
By the time Preve hatchback is introduced, GE14 election might be over already.
I support Nissan.
