2023 Nissan Almera facelift debuts in Thailand – four variants, 1.0L turbo 3-cylinder petrol; from RM73k

The 2023 Nissan Almera facelift has been launched in Thailand, and the updated B-segment sedan’s debut in the Land of Smiles comes after its debut in the United States where it is also known as the Versa.

Visual revisions to the Almera include the new V-Motion grille and front fascia, new logo as well as an updated interior; for Thailand, one powertrain specification is offered across four variants, with prices starting from 549,000 THB (RM72,861) for the base E grade trim, ranging up to 699,000 THB (RM92,952) for the top VL grade variant. A new exterior colour – Gray Sky Pearl – joins the palette.

Powertrain in the 2023 Almera facelift is the 1.0 litre turbocharged inline-three-cylinder engine designated HRA0 in Thailand (known as the HR10DET in the Malaysian-market Almera), which produces 100 PS and 152 Nm of torque, the same as that in the Thai-market pre-facelift Almera. Drive goes to the front wheels via an Xtronic continuously variable transmission.

Nissan has introduced NissanConnect Services for the Almera facelift, bringing an application that offers the user remote control of selected functions and communication with the vehicle. These functions include remote-operated door lock, engine start, horn, and lights, as well as a Car Finder function to help the user locate the vehicle.

Conveniences in the facelifted Almera include a wireless device charger, the NissanConnect infotainment setup with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Google Maps navigation via an eight-inch touchscreen, and voice recognition. Meanwhile, the ‘Quore Modure’ premium seats do not accumulate or reflect heat, offering greater comfort as a result, says Nissan.

The Nissan 360 Safety Shield suite also features in the 2023 Almera facelift in Thailand, with advanced safety features including rear cross traffic alert, moving object detection, intelligent forward collision warning, blind spot warning and intelligent around view monitoring, plus high beam assist and lane departure warning.

Also on are active safety features including vehicle dynamic control (stability control), ABS, EBD, brake assist and hill start assist. Passive safety features on all grades include six airbags as well as pretensioning and load-limiting seatbelts.

The Thai market Almera also receives a choice of accessories packages comprised of the Iconic Package, the Ignite Package and the Ultimate Package, for accessorising the vehicle inside and out.

The Iconic Package brings black front grille, roof-mounted shark fin, sports pedal set, floor carpets and kick plate, while the Ignite Package brings front and rear bumper lips and side skirts in body colour along with a duck-tail rear spoiler in gloss black. The Ultimate Package combines the items of both the Iconic Package and the Ignite Package.

    like most Nissan, it doesn’t have much reliability…its a Japanese brand without the mechanical reliability we associate with them.. you can refer to the forums

      Nissan in Bolehland…stuppendouly ,incredibly high cost of spare parts by Tan Chong.
      Problematic gear boxes,another worry.
      So why buy into a worrisome unknown?
      Just buy Toyota or Honda,not to say no defects,but more reliable.

    Not really know about car buyers thought why 1.0cc sell so expensive. A really know about car buyer knew a proper 4 cylinder NA engine lesser maintenance headache when the car got high mileage.

      1.0cc, or 1,000cc? When a car’s engine cubic displacement is specified as 1.0, it means 1.0 litre (L), not cc (cubic centimetres). And 1,000cc = 1.0 L.

    Nissan is a dead brand in malaysia…last scoop was the old almera. Ppl bought in because it’s spacious and cheaper. but after a few years, the ‘cheap things no good’ prevailed..everything started falling apart. Good job Tan Chong!

    I was looking forward to buying the 2020 Almera VLT in a year’s time. Anyone have any comments regarding the aftersales? If Nissan is floundering, will I even be able to service my car say 3-5 years later?

    What ever happened to the wonderful Nissan Teana V6. They no longer make it in Thailand, so sad.
