Nissan Almera News in Malaysia

We love the Nissan Almera here at the WapCar office though it is a shame that the previous generation’s faults cast a shadow that hangs behind what is one of the most comfortable B-segment sedan models in the market. It is also quite an efficient car as seen in our reviews but Nissan wanted to prove it in the real world too. So over the weekend, it invited 20 Almera owners and 10 media teams to take part in the 2024 Nissan Almera Lightfoot Challenge. The challenge was to see which team could rec

Having been spied on Thai roads for a few months, the new 2023 Nissan Almera facelift has just been launched in the Kingdom. The updated Almera receives a brand-new look in front and some enhanced safety features. Obviously, you can’t help but not notice the refreshed design on the front as the new Almera gained a bold V-motion grille that was first seen on its American twin, the Nissan Versa which was updated last year. Every other angle on the exterior that isn’t the front though remains the s

The N18 Nissan Almera is a truly underrated B-segment sedan compared to the Honda City and Toyota Vios. The current generation was introduced in the region in late-2019 so it is due for a refresh which is already seen in the North American market Nissan Versa. The facelifted Almera was spotted before in Thailand this year undergoing tests and covered in camouflage. It’s a sign that the facelift Almera could be launched in the country sometime this year and this latest set obtained from a Thai au

I absolutely despise the previous generation Nissan Almera. It wasn’t a bad car in terms of comfort and reliability but the N17 Almera is pathetic in every other aspect. I hate the way it looks, the way it drives, and the fact that so many Malaysians bought one in its near decade of existence. So when the replacement to the modern-day equivalent of the Datsun Sunny was introduced in 2020, the N18 Nissan Almera experienced a massive glow-up. It went from a car with so many faults to one with so f
