Malaysian rendering maestro Theophilus Chin has given us his take on the next-generation Nissan Almera, drawing inspiration from the 2017 Nissan March. The relation? Well, the Almera sedan is based on the previous-generation March/Micra.
For this exercise, the Micra’s front end is used, and the sedan rendering also applies the full-length character line which stretches from along the top of the headlamps, and runs above the tail lights. Meanwhile, the lower door crease across front and rear doors appear identical to the one on the Micra. The upturned kink at the rear window is retained from the Micra, albeit in a more sedan-friendly fashion.
The boomerang-styled tail lights from the Micra are replaced here with the ones from the Sylphy, for a more reserved style more suited to a sedan.
As for the March/Micra itself, the hatchback comes with the choice of three engines: a 0.9 litre HR09DET three-cylinder turbo petrol (90 hp/140 Nm with +10 Nm over boost), 1.0 litre BR10DE three-cylinder NA petrol (73 hp/95 Nm) and a 1.5 litre K9K four-cylinder diesel (90 hp/220 Nm).
All are mated to a five-speed manual transmission, with a continously variable transmission in the works. In terms of its safety package, the Nissan Intelligent Driving suite is standard on the March, which includes Lane Departure Prevention, Intelligent Emergency Braking with pedestrian recognition, Intelligent Around View Monitor, Traffic Sign Recognition, High Beam Assist and Blind Spot Warning.
So, what do you think of the hatchback’s rendering as a sedan?

Looks like a Mazda 2 to me
Nissan March = Mazda 2 = Yaris Sedan
PRICE IT LIKE AXIA
Just wondering whether he got paid to do the drawing…so rajin one…if he does then bravo and kudos…good for him…
Mazda2
combining the design language of Nissan and Mazda 2 looks way better than I expected
wow stunning
nice for b segment contender…well proportioned like current mazda 2
I would say the modern updated(sedan/hatchback) looks much better than the current Almera. This will sell well & it will give City/Vios/Mazda2 a run for their $$$.
Anything wud look better than current almari. Even tonggek Biza.
Seriously john, do U Have to put Biza down in-order to make your statement ! I/we are NOT talking about P1/P2 here.
Then why bring up City/Vios/Mazda2?
Bcos the price of City/Vios/Mazda2 is in the same segment while Persona/Saga/Bezza is in a different league. Sekarang U Paham !?
Looking forward to next gen Colt/Mirage version…
Nice rear end…..gudjob theo
Better be as next sylphy
Doesn’t Nissan always stretch their sedans’ wheelbases to make them class-leading? This sedan is too short to be a Nissan..
Depends on which segment. If almari drops to A segment…
definitely better than the hideous Almera…. seriously..ETCM should have tried to sell the Nissan march or China’s Nissan Lannia..instead of the Almera…too ugly..
But then march will onli sell in March, while lannia wun sell in Johor, Melaka, Png. It be disaster
damn.. heartache my current almera look… if next gen so good looking, it will sell like hotcakes..
Looks good
but we know it’s just a rendering and not a a reality (yet) :(
new almari…waiting for the big discounts
Anything close to this..i will buy for sure
Theo always design very great car, but the outcome doesn’t look much like what theo had rendered. they should hire him.
Love the design. If it price the same like current price, then take my money!
mine is almera just modify some few accesories bodiy kit and boom it looks great
Can someone please talk about Nissan’s poor reputation with Continous Variable tranmission CVT?? Does Nissan cars still came with regular AT rather than CVT?
