GALLERY: Nissan Almera facelift – a closer look at the Nismo Performance Package and V trim model

AlmeraFL_Nismo_Ext_04

Earlier in the week, Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) introduced the Nissan Almera facelift in the country via a press release and studio shots – here then is the car in the metal, in both stock and dressed-up guise.

To recap, the car – which made its debut in Thailand last year – goes on sale in Malaysia in four variant forms, the baseline E manual (RM64,960 OTR without insurance) and E automatic (RM67,882), midrange V (RM74,700), and top-of-the-line VL (RM77,622).

All variants are equipped with a 102 PS and 139 Nm HR15DE 1.5 litre DOHC CVTC unit carried over unchanged from the pre-facelift, paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed auto transmission.

Externally, the facelift gets restyled, larger headlamps, a new front bumper and a revised front grille, now with three bars as opposed to the original Almera‘s four, as well as new chrome trim around the fog lamps. New wheels complete the external rework – the Almera now features Y-spoke design 15-inch alloy wheels (with 185/65 tyres) as standard across the entire model range.

Inside, the Almera now has a new, more premium-looking steering wheel, a redesigned centre stack trimmed in piano black. There’s also a new CD/MP3 player fitted as standard from the E grade version on, but if you’re looking to tech up the presentation, a couple of different options are available.

The first is a RM6,000 Navi DVD Package, which features a 6.5-inch DVD head unit with navigation, reverse camera, iPod connectivity, USB and Bluetooth. The second is a RM7,000 Navi with Internet Package, an Android-based 6.5-inch multimedia navigation system with Internet connectivity (tethering from smartphone via WiFi) and Virtual Acoustic Positioning System (VAPS).

The pricing isn’t just for the electronics – both packages add leather seats/door cards as well as Solar Gard Armorcoat tinting. Other options abound too – there’s a RM750 Elegance Package, which throws in stainless steel kicking plates with LED illumination, door visors, trunk tray and sport pedals for the automatic (for the manual, it’s RM600, minus the sports pedals).

There’s also a new Almera Nismo Performance Package, which is the white car you see in the photos. The route brings about an Aero Package, made up of a front and rear bumper spoiler, side skirts and trunk lid spoiler as well as 16-inch alloys wrapped with 205/50 Continental MaxContact MC5 tyres.

It also adds on a sports exhaust muffler and a performance suspension system, which features uprated springs and shock absorbers. Complete, the entire Nismo package goes for RM14,000, but buyers can opt to go for Aero Package and its five-piece bodykit and wheels/tyres for just RM9,000, or RM4,500 if it’s just the bodykit alone.

The other car in the photos is a stock standard V variant, which is identical externally to the range-topping VL. The model comes with dual airbags, Fine Vision instruments and fog lamps, among other things. The Almera facelift will be starring in a Nissan roadshow in 1 Utama till this Sunday, so head there if you want get touchy-feely.

      Almera stylish or not? It is subjective. You may think your gf/wife the hottest lady in the world, but your friend may think differently.

      But with sushi cars, you get build quality, comfort, fuel consumption and most importantly… good RV. You won’t go wrong with sushi cars.

      There are ALWAYS solid reasons behind good sales.

          Toyota sales still strong, I am getting more than half year bonus.

          And I have one principle: I earn money from customer through good service and good product; not from government aka my fellow Malaysians hard-earned tax money.

          I am not beggar!

    A really good car for budget conscious people but wanted Japanese quality.
    Vios is another option other than City.
    These 3 are the staple on Malaysia roads.
    If possible, avoid Proton

    Guys, can anyone shed a light on this? Why is the lowest spec of Almera can be sold with just ONE AIRBAG?? Isn’t there already a regulation that cars sold here must at least have 2 of them? Correct me if I’m wrong.

    Headlights looks nice enough. Interior upgrades are ok but adds to price substantially and would lower buyer enthusiasm. The basic auto City would still trump this offering in terms of price, looks and practicality. Sorry.

    “Almera is the best looking car! Ever!!”
    Said no one.
    The only thing people would buy it probably because of the price and low maintenance fee, not the looks and the bodykit.

Preve brrnasib baik sebab polis and gomen ada guna. Sebab harga note dan almera tak banyak beza di global. Jadi jika masuk sini akan sama harga almera. Sebab tan chong bijak.. jual harga approve. Lepas tu bagi rebet kow2.. new facelift almera pun dh ada rebet 4k. Nk turunkan harga gomen tak bagi.. jadi bagi rebetlah. Bijak2

    All new vehicles sold after that must be fitted with TWO airbags. Why is this car allowed to be sold with just ONE of them (for the lowest spec). Anyone please explain???

    The readers? Editorial team? Please?

    To Haters, say whatever you want at the end of it Market Sale is Solid evidence on what Malaysian wants.

    Even with this Homo shit design, Proton memang tak ada harapan lah nak jual. Barang murah JEPUN vs Barang “Mahal” Malaysia = sendiri lah pikir, loan kene keluar poket sendiri. If any of you feel jia lat with Nissan product, easy only take your cash and go for something else (P/S: not all malaysian are rich k?)

    Just my two cents. For a price difference of RM10k, I’m pretty peeved that there is no upgrade on the ICE. The audio player for the highest spec of the car is the same as the lowest spec. I would have expected an upgrade to a DVD/GPS unit at least…
