Nissan Almera Black Series revealed – RM70k-RM80k

Nissan Almera Black Series revealed – RM70k-RM80k

Nissan distributor Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has introduced the Nissan Almera Black Series in Malaysia. The second model to receive the Black Series treatment after the NP300 Navara, the B-segment sedan gets a aerokit designed by Japanese tuner Tomei, as well as extra equipment for no extra cost.

This means that the Black Series, offered in 1.5E and 1.5VL Auto variants, are priced exactly the same as the standard models at RM69,800 and RM79,800 respectively, on-the-road without insurance. Included in the list price is a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, plus a three-year/150,000 km warranty for all the accessories.

These accessories include the aforementioned Tomei aerokit, consisting of an aggressive front spoiler, side skirts and rear diffuser, all finished with Dark Titanium accents. Meanwhile, the existing front grille, door mirror covers and 15-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels have been painted gloss black, as has the new rear spoiler.

On the inside, buyers are treated to leather seats with the same Dark Titanium highlights as the exterior, plus a Clarion Advanced Display Audio infotainment system with a 6.75-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and a reverse camera. Also fitted is a wide-angle Driving Video Recorder dashcam as well as Solar Gard window tint film.

All these go on top of the Almera’s standard equipment, which includes halogen reflector headlights, LED daytime running lights, door mirror indicators, a driver’s airbag and ABS with EBD and brake assist. The VL adds front fog lights, keyless entry, automatic air-conditioning, a multifunction steering wheel, a Fine Vision instrument cluster and dual airbags.

The mechanicals remain unchanged, so the Black Series gets the same 1.5 litre HR15DE four-cylinder petrol engine, sending 102 PS and 139 Nm of torque to the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The car will be shown at the upcoming Nissan Nationwide Test Drive Carnival in selected showrooms over two weekends, on November 9 to 11 and November 17 to 18 from 10 am to 8 pm.

      So shameful. In Europe, no car has 2 airbags. Here, our Government does not protect us from greedy car companies who shortchange us.

      In Europe, if a car has no VSC (like this car) or only 2 airbags, the respective Governments will actually sue the car company on behalf of the rakyat and demand higher safety spec.

      In Malaysia, MITI, MAI all tidur, lepak and minum teh 8x sambil makan kuih lapis

  • I say the Almera LED daytime running lights is just too bright, brighter than even the main beam and very glaring to the eyes.

    Tan Chong making many people angry after their Teana post 2 days ago. Malaysia wants to launch facelifted Teana in Malaysia but in US already got brand new Teana model (Altima). We are 3 years late. How bad is this?

      No need to be ANGRY.

      There are other better and most exciting choice to choose

      Nissan badge just doesn’t SHINE but APEK in style and engineering

      Who care what Tan Chong sells. ? Nissan is just not most people cup of tea nowadays except the better and value for money choice Renault and Subaru cars

    Those who kutuk this car, certainly havent drive or sat at the back. Owned this for 4 years. Very comfy ride & spacious rear legroom & headroom means its good for families of 4 or those with old parents. Rear seats habe deep side bolster that supports your back nicely.

    But then, it doesnt offer a sporty drive & feels lethargic going uphill. Its highly utilitarian & less hedonic, nwvertheless it does its job remarkably well.

  • Dear author

    Can you please explain why Nissan is still allowed to sell cars with 1 airbag? What happened to 2 airbags regulation?

      But at least got ABS. ABS more important day to day than airbags. ABS prevents crash, airbag only help during crash.

    No replacement in sight. Playing only with colours and body kits. They are going to drag on like 130y which is sold for more than 10 years. Carlos Ghosn or Tan Chong is sleeping.

    The only thing that does not get attracted is the dark seat covers. I think this is donky Hide emanated from African continenent procured by Chinese migrant in the African continent.
    Please therefore get the proper seat covers. It does not matter a few more thousand for the car which you will be keeping for few years.
