The 2023 Nissan Almera (N18) has been updated in Malaysia, and the small upgrade finally brings Android Auto smartphone compatibility to the model. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nissan Malaysia (@nissanmalaysia) For the longest time – since its local launch in 2020 – the Honda City, Toyota Vios rival only came with Apple CarPlay support. This new addition brings the car on-par with the named rivals above, which had both options since long ago. However, there is no official word ye
Following the regional debut of the refreshed 2023 Nissan Almera in Thailand a couple of months ago, the underrated B-segment sedan is recently launched in the Philippines. This comes mere days before the Filipino launch of the facelifted Honda City. Nissan Philippines Inc. (NPI) is offering 3 variants of the Almera facelift in the archipelago which are: EL M/T – PHP 839,000 (~RM 71k) VE CVT – PHP 1,059,000 (~RM 89k) VL CVT with NissanConnect Services – PHP 1,149,000 (~RM 97k) Gone is the elegan

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
The Nissan Almera, Mazda 2, and Honda HR-V have emerged as quality winners, according to J.D. Power's Thailand Initial Quality Study (IQS). 5,419 new vehicle owners were surveyed from May to September 2022, with their cars evaluated against 8 metrics: Exterior Driving experience Features/controls/displays Seats Audio/communication/entertainment/navigation Heating/ventilation/air conditioning Interior Engine/transmission. Initial quality is measured by the number of problems experienced per 100 v
Back in October 2022, the N18 Nissan Almera’s North American twin called the Nissan Versa was given an extensive facelift. The question of when it will be arriving in Southeast Asia might be soon if this spyshot in Thailand gives any clue. Spotted in a YouTube video uploaded by Kitsguy, the grey Almera was spotted filling up at a petrol station somewhere in Thailand. Aside from the bits of camouflage around the car, it looks like the current pre-facelift Almera. In another photo that was uploade
The current Nissan Almera (N18) is a brilliant B-segment sedan with unfortunate baggage thanks to the name. The City/Vios rival is a favourite at the WapCar office and over in the U.S. of A, a facelift has been unveiled. Sold as the Nissan Versa, the 2023 facelift will go on sale by the end of the year and the American public can get their first look at this weekend’s 2022 Miami Auto Show. Being a facelift, only the front gets a major change in the shape of a new front fascia with the trademark
