The Nissan Almera has been given an eye-catching new item in Malaysia – LED daytime running lights. This is as seen on Edaran Tan Chong Motor’s (ETCM) microsite and Facebook page promoting the B-segment sedan, which also says that the DRLs are available on all variants. The string of white lights underline the front fog lamps.
The addition of LED DRLs coincide with ETCM raising prices for its four CKD locally assembled models, which include the Almera. As reported last week, the Almera 1.5E M/T is now priced at RM68,500, the 1.5E A/T RM72,200 and the top 1.5VL A/T RM82,000, all on-the-road without insurance. The new prices, effective April 1, are RM3,734.88 (5.8%), RM4,521.64 (6.7%) and RM4,610.88 (6.0%) higher, respectively.
So, while prices are up (forex effect, also cited by Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Kia, Peugeot, Citroen, Audi and even Proton as the reason for higher costs), Almera buyers get the consolation of LED DRLs. All else remains. Check out the roomy 1.5L sedan and its Nismo Performance Package in detail here.

still ugly
Not just ugly, the main concern were the build quality were so poor most likely spoil (especially motor fan and wheel bearing).
lol , 102 hp for 1.5l is too far underpower.
sporty my a** .
rubbish , just throw this away from the road.
make my eyes bleed.
That’s why I’m gonna keep my 1994 Wira sambung halfcut forever and ever. Coldest aircond in the world. Almera is no match.
Sushi car? You don’t worry with the quality, comfort, fuel saving and RV!
Siapa mau bili almari?
OMG…just body kit LED DLR…puihhhh.
Ringgit drop to RM3.80 but all prices are increased insanely
deng
Prices don’t change overnight just because the ringgit has been strong for a week or two. Life isn’t that simple.
The most expensive LED ever. Lol
Increasing 5k , free u China make running day light… Hahaha
I thought new facelift was the change in headlamp. So is this means facelift of the facelift? Lagi lagi best of the lagi best?
The only car in Malaysia still with 1 airbag on its variant. LOL.
Coz TC mentions that this amisai body very very strong. No need extra airbags. With the sporty milo tin exhaust and super beng spoiler, this car can cut thru wind and tapow all godcars.
Air bag are for pussy.
The door is so light compare to Honda City, I doubt the body is strong.
They follow Proton statement, the metal is hi tech hot press forming, lighter and tougher.
Vios is upgrading to new engine and cvt with steptronic,hope Almera is going through upgrading from 4 speed auto to cvt in their next specification. Day running lights is cheap stuff. Very common nowadays.Price increases, are you out off
your mind. Elantra is slashing RM21K off their price.
Now RM70k on the road for 1.6 ( D segment ).
Elantra is C segment fyi
3k+ for the LED…
1.5V variant no more?
pathetic effort….
Every time I walk pass an Almera, In my mind was like “what an ugly mutant faker”.
Especially those with NISMO skirt. Seriously who on earth design that
Our jepunis overlords. So jangan persoal them
When mazda raised price for the led headlamp people lose their mind. So what you all gonna say for this ciplak LED strip for 5k.
Mazda 2 LED’s much more nicer. Almera n Vios like an after thought.
I rather take Mazda 2 with 2 biji LED lamp than this horrendious alamak.
A poor ah beng’s Vios…vely poor ride and feeling like in. Sampan iin middle of ocean
Ringgit already up, still increase price?
some more, low spec still 1 airbag….
For manual Almera, you still can start the car engine without need to depress the clutch which can be very dangerous to others nearby in case if the gear was engaged while for manual Vios, you must depress fully the clutch before the engine can be started. Of course always make sure the manual gear MUST be in neutral (free gear) position before cranking the engine.
nice… higher price, DRL addition… instant 24% hp increase!
How to update the ‘new’ Nissan Almera
– Keep adding random exterior modifications
Still awkward look yet the steering so girly.Is there any total man’s look car sell at reasonable price? Any suggestion?
When will car companies realize that we want more safety and not cheap-looking LEDs or OTT bodykits ? After UMWT added DRLs to their Vios, now TCM has done the same with their Almera. Meanwhile, neither one has ESC, not even on the top spec models. Sigh.
light up the entire car with DRLs like deepavali also useless. the car’s design is so freaking ugly.
Where’s the innovative part? 1 air bag? X esp? Body kit? Or the hilarious drl?
A little plastic here , a little plastic there… some shitty dlr lights to impress,underpowered engine , remove the essential safety and voila RM82 000 with 9 year loan.
I think its time people gets car savy…Virtually robbing customers blindly. Its like the japanese brands here are competing with each other to provide the least amount of car with the maximum amount of price. Clearly the losers will be the malaysia customers.
Why not better the safety equipment such as more air bags, anti skid control, etc.? Isn’t safety more important than to look good with a few LEDs?
Anyone care to explain why 1 airbag variant is still allowed? I thought few years back the gov mandates 2 airbags must be installed for any new car sold here? Thank you
The reason why so many of these ugly mutants on the road because people buy this ugly mutants just because it’s “foreign”. Period. I have to repeat this car is the ugliest both inside and out I have ever seen. The design, bodykits, interior, everything is just so ugly. I heard from reviews the build quality is poor also.
all nissan almera haters lol.. what is your problem ? i think this car is quite great it is not as bad as malaysian brand
since its 102hp adding nismo exterior kit is sign of ricer
impul one is decent
TCEA should sell with IMPUL supercharged HR15DE option version so 1.5cc can go over 140hp
just look at Latio Impul supercharge
then it will be the best selling
