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.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mostly focus on the Nissan Almera facelift's design and features, with many critics describing it as ugly and lacking aesthetic appeal. Some express disappointment over the minimal upgrading of interior features despite price increases, and question the safety standards, specifically why the lowest spec still has only one airbag when regulations mandate two. There are comparisons with other cars like the City, Vios, and Proton, often favoring more practical or better-looking options. Some comments highlight the Nismo performance package's suspension improvements and note the car's affordability for young drivers seeking sporty looks. Overall, reactions are mixed but largely critical regarding the design, features, and value, with a few supporters emphasizing Nissan's performance legacy and affordability for budget-conscious buyers.
