VIDEO: 2020 Nissan Almera Turbo shown before debut

One of the big upcoming launches of 2020 has got to be the new Nissan Almera, which will do battle with the Toyota Vios and the new Honda City when it debuts later this month. Ahead of the B-segment sedan’s introduction, distributor Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) released a new advertisement touting the car’s tech and the torque from the standard turbocharged engine.

Resplendent in Radiant Red paint and in range-topping VLT form, the Almera matches the stylish aesthetic of the 60-second spot, which also showcases a chef, a bicycle racer and a model under the theme “Challenge All Beliefs”. The video also displays the new Nissan logo that ETCM will be using in all communications moving forward.

Sporting a new, more edgy design and a more upmarket interior, the new Almera will be offered with an impressive level of equipment. This includes LED headlights, automatic climate control, a seven-inch digital instrument display, an eight-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 360-degree camera system, six airbags, and – most impressively – standard-fit autonomous emergency braking.

No matter which variant you go for, the Almera will be powered by a brand new 1.0 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, making 100 PS at 5,000 rpm and 152 Nm of torque from 2,400 to 4,000 rpm. Drive gets sent to the front wheels through an Xtronic CVT.

    Don’t reckon this will be any threat to the new Honda City at all.

    The H brand is too strong, the fanbois army of web-warriors are too many and lastly, Nissan was never in H threat radar for over 30 years (since Sunny 130Y)

    • Nissan and other brands are now threatening to Honda City back. Honda used to be strong but now other brands are getting stronger than Honda. Just like X50 are now threatening back to HRV

      the only constant in the universe is change. at one time, audis were pretenders, alfas were rust buckets and Mustangs were LHD muscle cars with live rear axles.

    Nice looking Almera.. current user can think to trade in for this one. Because current almera is really really an eye-sore on the road.
