Nissan Almera driven and we have some short test drive review on the new sedan which comes in Malaysia to compete with the Toyota Vios and Honda City in the 1.5 cc sedan compact car segment.
Comparing to those cars, we found that the new almera have a very spacious leg room especially at the back seat. Even more spacious than car over rm100k in Malaysia such as honda civic. That is the best part in Almera. The rear seat is very comfortable. While the front seat is about the same with others.
The interior dashboard looks ok except on the air conditioning button which has an ugly circle shape. The speedometer is nice with white backlight. Start button on the full spec is cool features.
Although the price is cheaper especially for E variant manual at rm66k and auto 4 speed at around rm69k, Nissan Malaysia has stripped down a lot of features on the E variant including steel rims, no navigation, no leather seat, no push start, etc.. They provide a different packages for you to add on your new Cheap Almera.
The performance review on Almera has a bit sad story. The 1.5 litre 102 horsepower at 6000 rpm and torque value of 139 Nm at low 4000rpm is actually more on the better fuel consumption ride, not the performance. The pedal response also a bit slow compare to others maybe due to the drive by wire system. However, Nissan offers a smooth acceleration and quite engine for your comfort.
The ride and handling also more on the city side and comfort suspension. However, the bad thing is the comfortable suspension and light feel steering wheel gives bad stability at high speed and bumpy road. The steering feels like vios, not stable at more than 90 kmh especially when passing a bumpy surfaces at high speed, you need to hold your steering wheel very well.
The almera fuel consumption is around 14km/litre rm 13 cent per km for highway normal driving according to the sales person which is a nice real life value for a sedan with 1.5 litre engine. But we believe this car can go more for long distance highway drive due to the high torque at 4000rpm, around 1050kg light kerb weight and aluminum alloy engine. Some test drive reviews claim above 20 km/ litre which is similar to perodua viva fc.

Dear Almera owner..

Salam Almera owners,

brape ek pcd untuk nissan almera nie
114.3 pcd
Akhirnya dh dpt keta smlm setelah sekian lama..
Got my Almera 9 Nov 2012. Have driven 2,500km up to today. Very good fuel consumption especially on highway. Full tank can get you from KL to Penang and back to Bukit Merah. Acceleration is reasonable. Many cup holes but no specific space for Touch and Go card. Very roomy interior especially the back seat. Mine is the manual transmission, no light in the boot. Doors not automatically lock once the car moves. Overall, a good size car for every day use.
I got Almera last week. But I think I have fuel consumption problem. The gauge said average consumption is 7.5-9km/litter. Even when I’m driving on highway,fuel consumption is only 9km/litter. i drove 170km so far and tank is already half. Should I take my car to Nissan now?
jun, that is normal for a new car. Wait until after 1st 1000km service then u see the fuel consumption. Should be better after that. Share with us after your 1st service :-)
i like de sandakan brach…even im in mode holiday at penisular..he already arrange my car there..so i can get my car in the end of dis month..one thing i get de early bird..hihi..wat ever it is…we will see later…tq
saya telha menempah sejak november semasa pelancaran almera.namun setelah semua telah lulus dan time nak tunggu tu..dimaklumakan bahawa keta yang saya tempah kena tunggu dlm tempoh 6 bulan…stok tak accesories tak ada kata meka.Janji ari tu dalam pertengahan bulan 12 sampai.skrg ni masih menunggu keputusan.siapa harus dipersalahkan?.buat promosi tapi barang sebenar tak ada…mcm mana tu?.bayaran tempahan dah bayar…nasib tak bayar deposit lagi klu dah bayar ntahlah…dalam temph 6 bulan mungkin pakai keta sorong dululah..boleh buat aduan kat mana2 ker ni?..cadangan tak?…
if compare to myvi, which is better? Any comment?
answering to LC,
to be honest, i dont have almera but i have 2 myvi. 1 bought in year 2005 which is the 1st model n recently bought the 2011 myvi se 1.5. the later variant is superior since it has some improvements such as abs+ebd+ba, isofix, eps n bigger capacity engine. this spec is almost as similar to almera/vios. what i can say is the only different between myvi 1.5 n almera is just the leg room n boot space at the back. things like driving quality, fuel consumption, handling, NVH of these car is almost the same. these car are almost at same level vios/almera/myvi/city but the differences is just the brand n price. u choose either 1 of these car depending on ur budget n needs. just my 2 cents.
LC: Why compare to myvi?
Protogyl: In my opinion,driving quality, fc, handling, NVH is totally different, not almost same. Myvi is not totally same level with vios, almera and city. I know you’re proud of your myvi. Myvi is good dar but it is more wise if you do some homework to find out what I just say
yup. Myvi definitely not the same level. This almera have better spec overall. Fuel consumption also better compare to myvi 1.5. Myvi is just a city car which is quite expensive and overprice for its spec.
wow..u compare dis car ngan myvi. what a joke.. u sure u compare apple vs apple?
ni compare apple dgn nokia ni.. hehe
if talking about standard car segment, yes, myvi and almera is comparable. but if you talking about performance, ride & handling, quality of finishing and driving dynamic almera is a step or twice better than myvi.
for nissan lover, of coz almera is good since it maintain the smoothness driving dynamic which is the nissan’s trademark similar to sentra or latio, but for people who love the feeling of “power-surge-neck-to-the-back”, almera is not the right choice.
happy driving for those who received their almera :)
salam tahun baru

setuju dgn oleoresin… kelmarin sy test drive dr kl ke batu pahat, johor.. mmg tk brape pick-up if compared to city, vios etc… dan 1 lg sy perasan, bile lalu sebelah lori, keta terhuyung hayang… ada kemungkinan disebabkan oleh saiz tayar ke?
pickup almera rasa lembab sebab gearbox cvt yang sifatnya increasing gear ratio gradually in comfort and optimum torque to save fuel dan enjinnya lebih jimat minyak berbanding performance. suspension yg comfort dan lembut yang sebabkan kereta tu melayang tambah lagi kereta yang ringan macam almera. memang x stabil.

Sbb tue ada yang bawak mcm demon ini kereta dan spinner and pinner dekat hi-way KESAS ke mana? poor White Almera WXxxxxx kalu tk salah :D…
Nk performance angkat forte ke inspira ke lancer…baru stable skit la…
:D….
bru jer cadang2 nk bli AM…tpi dh tgok komen yg pelik2 jer x jadi la mc tu….kena angkat Alza Advanced Version la
Komen tak pelik kalau anda enthusiast kereta. Tapi rasa cam lawak la plak tetiba dari segment sedan car anda terus pilih alza.
Ada org die x kisah, beli kereta ikut bajet. Mcm kdi pun, tgk bajet dlm price range tu, kereta apa dapat beli. Kalo berkenan, test drive dan pilih yg mana paling berbaloi. Dlm kes ni bro mazlan maybe rasa almera lg berbaloi. Tp biler tgk review, die rasa alza lg berbaloi. Nk kata besar x besar sgt. Its 5 comfortable seater but with additional space utk budak2 di belakang.. Huhu
sesape th kdai mn yg jual assesories kreta ni let me knw…at sabah
i just bouth a brand new almera v spec. it is realy nice to drive at highway. if we compare with local car, local car kena tiang lah bro…..
