Nissan has
reintroduced the Almera badge to the
South African market with the launch of the new India-built Almera 1.5
Acenta sedan. It’s been years since the last Almeras were sold here, and they
were quite popular in both sedan and
hatchback shape. Now Nissan is looking at the value seeker to put it back into
the top 10 sales charts.
“The all-new Nissan Almera is an extremely important new car for Nissan in South
Africa, where the B-segment is the largest and fastest-growing segment in the
market,” says Janico Dannhauser,
Product Manager for Passenger Vehicles at Nissan South Africa.
Powering the new Almera is a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine delivering 73kW at 6000rpm and peak torque of 134Nm of torque at 4000rpm. Buyers are
able to choose between a 5-speed manual
or an old school 4-speed automatic. Nissan
claims 6.3 litres per 100km on the
manual and 7.2 litres per 100km from
the auto.
Safety equipment comprises ABS with EBD and BAS, with backup in the form of two airbags, five three-point seat
belts and a zoned body structure whereby the passenger compartment features
high-strength construction.
Inside the Almera is equipped with air conditioning, a radio/ CD/ MP3 combo with steering wheel
controls, remote central locking and a trip
computer. Seat upholstery is cloth, not leather.
