Nissan Motor Philippines, Inc. (NMPI) launched the all-new Nissan Almera last night at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel, in Makati City.
The all-new Almera features an all aluminum 1.5 liter HR15DE engine with DOHC and CVTC, that produces 97.645 horses and 143 Nm of torque. It’s a classic four-door, five seat sedan that features a long wheelbase that results in a spacious cabin and 490 liter boot. It is built on an all-new global “V” platform that utilizes a lightweight yet rigid body, and is fitted with McPherson Struts in the front and torsion beam suspension at the back for a better ride. Safety features include ABS, EBD and a brake assist system, a protective zone body structure, SRS airbags, as well as low friction seat belts.
Derived from the Spanish word “Almendra” which means a large diamond, the Almera was designed specifically to meet the unique demands of the B-segment market, and is Nissan’s global best-selling sedan, with sales reaching more than half a million units to date. First introduced in 1966 as the Nissan Sunny, the current iteration is the 5th-generation design, and is also available in Thailand, US, China, India, Singapore and more recently, Malaysia. The
Nissan Almera is available in three variants – the 1.5L base manual at PHP 710,000, the 1.5L base automatic at PHP 760,000 and the 1.5L mid automatic at PHP830,000. Colors available are Titanium Grey, Brilliant Silver, Alpine White and Bluish Black. Visit www.nissan.com.ph for more details.
