Nissan Almera Classic (factory index B10) has been offered in Russia since 2006. The car was assembled at the Renault Samsung Motors plant in Busan (South Korea). The production of Nissan Almera Classic began in 2002 under the name Renault Samsung SM3, the restyled version of which was sold in Russia. The car is based on the N16 Pulsar platform (Nissan Almera).

Engines

Nissan Almera Classic was equipped with a transverse 16-valve injection engine volume of 1.6 liters (107 hp) - factory index QG16DE. There are no serious problems with the power unit. Timing chain drive with a resource of at least 200 - 300 thousand km. But recently, young Almera Classic have experienced chain stretching, and as a result, a failure in traction after resetting the gas and pressing the accelerator pedal again. The reason is the poor quality of the chains used. Cases of stretching occurred with a run of 40 - 80 thousand km. To replace it, you will have to pay about 10,000 rubles.

If the engine starts to stall immediately after starting (after 140 - 180 thousand km), then, most likely, the problem is in the position sensor camshaftto be rotated clockwise.

The fuel pump (6-7 thousand rubles) lives at least 150-200 thousand km, then it starts to hum, and the engine does not start the first time. If there are drops in speed and dips in traction, then the fuel filter may be clogged.

With time owner of Nissan The Almera Classic may notice that the radiator fans are thrashing from the moment the ignition is turned on until it is turned off - regardless of whether cold engine or warmed up. The cause of the disease is the loss of contact due to the breaking of the wire, which has an excessively rigid insulation and a short section between the points of the flange of the bundle.

After 100 - 150 thousand km, it may be necessary to replace the muffler. The reason is the low quality of the metal and the absence of a condensate drainage channel resulting from short trips. The first signs are the appearance small holes at the bottom of the muffler can, from which water "drips".

Transmission

Two types of boxes were installed on the Almera Classic: a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic.

Often, in new cars, owners found an insufficient amount of oil poured into a manual transmission - only 1.5 liters instead of the required 3 liters. Long-term work in conditions of oil starvation significantly reduced life cycle boxes.

After 60 - 100 thousand km, noise may appear in the manual transmission due to the secondary shaft bearing. The problem bearing supplier is a Chinese manufacturer KOYO. Fuzzy transmissions may appear after 90 - 140 thousand km. Sometimes the problem can be fixed by bleeding the clutch. The clutch runs at least 140 - 180 thousand km. Replacement will require 8-10 thousand rubles.

On cars before 2008, there are cases of leaks of the clutch master cylinder due to a breakdown of a plastic fitting. This happens more often in winter. To avoid this, it is necessary to squeeze the plastic fitting using a clamp.

On "mechanics" it is not always possible to easily engage the reverse gear. This feature is caused by the lack of a synchronizer, as a result the driver hears a "crunch". There is nothing terrible here, you need to pause and try again, or try to turn on the reverse through the third gear.

Resource automatic box gears before the first repair at least 150 - 200 thousand km. Owners often complain about “kicks” or jolts that occur when switching from 1st to 2nd on an unheated box with a run of more than 60 - 100 thousand km. In addition, after 120 - 160 thousand km, sometimes "slipping" is observed when switching from 2nd to 3rd gear.

The outer CV joint runs at least 80 - 120 thousand km, the inner one - 160 - 200 thousand km.

Chassis

The manufacturer clearly saved on the Nissan Almera Classic suspension by excluding the front stabilizer from its design lateral stability, despite the fact that all the necessary technological places of fasteners are saved. This element can play an important role in case of a sharp maneuver of the car in a critical situation, for example, bypassing a sudden obstacle. Many owners install the stabilizer themselves. The cost of the kit is about 4 thousand rubles, installation work - 1.5 - 2 thousand rubles.

The reason for the squeak that occurs behind when braking - before a full stop, is often 2 transport ears. After accidental contact of the bottom with any surface, they can bend and begin to cling to the rear beam.

Springs rear suspension rather weak and tightly compressed with three passengers in the back seat. After 4 - 5 years of operation, they noticeably sag. Replacing the springs with stiffer ones will require about 6,000 rubles per pair.

Front shock absorbers travel more than 100 - 140 thousand km, rear - 80 - 100 thousand km. Suspension knocking is often caused by knocking shock absorbers, which will maintain their performance for a long time.

The steering rods run at least 160 - 200 thousand km, the steering tips - 120 - 150 thousand km. Steering rack starts tapping or sweating after 150 - 200 thousand km. The new one will cost 20-40 thousand rubles, the repair of the rail will require about 15 thousand rubles.

If you bite the steering wheel and lightly tap it when turning it, you may have to replace the steering shaft cardan. Lubrication will help to prolong his life for a short time. The cost of the cardan is about 300-500 rubles, and the work on its replacement is about 1,000 rubles.

Front brake pads run about 40-50 thousand km (1.5-3 thousand rubles), front brake discs - 60-80 thousand km (2.5-4 thousand rubles). Rear brake pads last more than 100 - 140 thousand km, drums run no less.

After 80 - 100 thousand km, the brake valve of the vacuum hose often "wedges" - mainly in winter. Consequences - "loss" of brakes. The reason is the accumulating and freezing condensate in the pipe through which the air flows. It is treated with WD-40 treatment.

After 60 - 80 thousand km, there may be a knock from behind when releasing the brake pedal. Cleaning the mechanism often helps to get rid of it. rear brakes and breeding pads.

Body and interior

Quality paintwork the body is satisfactory, the metal is not subject to corrosion. Problems arise with moldings and door handles, the paint from which often peels off during washing on cars older than 3 to 4 years.

The reason for knocking in the cabin on the right side of the dashboard when driving through irregularities is often the right-hand hood hinge. Crickets can take up residence in the A-pillars and center bar. Sometimes the control rods of the locks and the laid cables of the power windows sound.

Typical problems and malfunctions

An electrician often presents problems that can be eliminated by an elementary trick - resetting the negative terminal from the battery for 10-15 minutes. Seasonal time for "glitches" - winter and periods with sharp temperature changes. Sometimes the reason wrong work or refusal electrical systems is hidden in the Realy Module, to cure which it is necessary to clean the contacts, re-solder and fill with sealant. The module itself is "buggy" due to the formation of condensation and oxidation of contacts. It is worth noting that mainly electrical problems arise on the Almera Classic, released before 2008.

The heating of the parking area of \u200b\u200bthe wipers can also refuse, in some cases the consequences turned out to be disappointing - the threads heated up to "red", and burst from overheating windshield... There are not many such cases, but there will be about a dozen others.

If the windshield wipers begin to hang in the "washer" mode or in the first mode, and also do not return back to the parking area, then, most likely, the kinematics have soured, or the contact on the motor has disappeared. In the latter case, official services change the entire electric motor, although it is enough just to bend the contacts on the motor.

If, after purchasing the car, it turned out that the speedometer does not work, then it is possible that the mileage is twisted on Almera. In case of incorrect intervention in the tidy, the protection may operate with the disabling of the speed indicator and odometer. There is a feature that should be taken into account when replacing the tidy - the pinout on cars with automatic transmission and manual transmission does not match - the “pinout” will have to be changed.

With a mileage of more than 40-60 thousand km, many owners are faced with the quirks of the immobilizer. After turning on the ignition, the signal lamp "Immobilizer" and the engine would not start. In most cases, the problem disappeared after removing the battery terminal. Sometimes the reason was the Super Sleep fuses or the unit spontaneously jumping out of the slot.

Nissan Almera Classic with mechanical box gears in the city are content with 10 - 11 liters of gasoline and 6 - 7 liters on the highway. With the "automatic" fuel consumption in the city rises to 13 - 15 liters, and on the highway - up to 7 - 8 liters.

Conclusion

It is worth noting that more often problems arise on the Nissan Almera Classic until 2008. In 2008, the automaker worked to eliminate many of the shortcomings, only a small part of which has not been eliminated.

Production facilities, research centers, design associations and engineering enterprises of this concern are located in more than 20 countries. Although the countries are different, it is clear that the roots of this structure are Japanese.

Nissan program and structure

Japan, where Nissan Almera is assembled, has always been associated with such concepts as hard work, decency, honesty, and this is a huge team that includes 224 thousand employees located around the world.

The merger of the two most powerful giants Nissan and Renault at the height of the crisis in 1999 was the impetus for economic growth, and the corporation's ratings deservedly climbed steadily upward. This was accompanied by new programs that were implemented on time and competently. They allowed the concern to survive the crisis with minimal losses.

The Nissan Production Way is the backbone of the entire production process. As a kind of set of rules for the employees of the concern, it prescribes to perfect the production of each car.

This program integrates the capabilities of materials, equipment and human resources, presenting the consumer with the products of interest to him.

The NPW program prescribes to study the needs of buyers and, combining them with material capabilities, modernize production. Thanks to this program, product quality, no matter where the manufacturing plant is located, always remains excellent, be it Spain, England, Russia or Japan itself.

On the Japanese islands in Yokohama, the headquarters of the Nissan concern is located, design solutions are being developed in the capital of Great Britain, and new Nissan models are being designed and introduced at the English research center Cranfield. Factory facilities for assembling new cars are also located in the United Kingdom, in the city of Sunderland with its seaport, which is very convenient for deliveries to the USA and European countries.

Nissan assembly plants

One of the main enterprises in Europe producing Almeria is a plant located in England in the city of Sunderland. When shipyards and coal mines in the northeast of Britain closed in the early 1980s and unemployment soared, the then government decided to work with Japan. Representatives of the Land of the Rising Sun did not lose by choosing an area with a well-developed infrastructure and rich industry. Nissan Motor Manufacturing in Sunderland employs 4,000 people; in 2004, the first million cars of this brand were celebrated.

If we talk about the Nissan Almera Classic, then the release of such a model is currently carried out only in Japan and Russia. In the British Sunderland, they stopped its production and switched to a more promising model - Note. Even earlier, the South Korean company Samsung refused from the production of Nissan Almera Classic in 2013, explaining this by insufficient capabilities for the delivery of finished products and the high cost of labor.

For Russia, this is very significant, our motorist is unlikely to refuse such a reliable and relatively inexpensive car. Now in the Nissan lineup, this representative of the Classic model remained in the singular number.

The quite budgetary price helped to push our Lada Kalina into the background and, together with Renault Logan, the Chinese Amulet and, as it were, the American Chevrolet Lanos, lower the sales bar of this russian car... This rearrangement "helped" Almera to immediately acquire a rival in the person of Kia Spectra.

Changing the appearance, Japanese designers gave it a kind of avant-garde style, making it not as original as that of the former Almera, and the car began to resemble the Volkswagen Passat B5 with the same optics structure, hood and shape of the radiator grille. Despite the impression made by such a change in appearance, the style of Almera Classic, as before, is faithful to its classic forms, which Russian motorists liked so much.

Russian production facilities

In 2009, our country opened the Nissan Manufacturing Rus enterprise, which produces models of the Nissan concern, which are in good demand in the Russian market. The plant is located near the village of Shushary near St. Petersburg and specializes only in the production of Teana, X-Trail and Murano.

The Volzhsky plant in Togliatti has been assembling the Almera Classic since 2013. After the opening of production of Nissan Almera Classic at the AvtoVAZ concern, many motorists, knowing the build quality at domestic enterprises, assumed that cars would be produced with imperfections.

But our engineers were able to change this opinion by performing the assembly better than their English colleagues from Sunderland.

We even developed some changes that helped Almera Classic to adapt to Russian road realities.

Conclusion

All cars produced by the Japanese concern Nissan are beautiful and unusual cars... Even simple budget models are distinguished by excellent design, good comfort and quality material. This became possible thanks to the company's pricing policy, which keeps its prices lower than those of competing firms. Made specially for Russia, the Nissan Almera Classic is distinguished by technical perfection and high-quality assembly.

According to statistics from Russian analytical agencies, Nissan cars are among the most demanded and loved on domestic market... And, most importantly, the Russian sales market is also the largest for the manufacturer of these vehicles.

Russia is confidently one of the three countries among all sales in the global market of the auto concern. And, naturally, our citizens are interested in the question - where is Nissan assembled for Russia and how high-quality this or that equipment is.

Among the models loved by our motorists, it is worth highlighting: Qashqai, Almera, Note, Murano, X-T rail, Teana, Navara, Juke, GT-R, etc.

Besides passenger cars, nissan also produces commercial models that are in no less demand. In the domestic market, Sabstar and HP-300 have proven themselves well.

Some of the above models are assembled in Russia. But the share of cars made in our country does not exceed 30%. Most of the cars are delivered from abroad.

General information on Nissan vehicles

Before buying a new car of this brand, almost any person asks a fair question: "Where is Nissan produced for Russia?"

Indeed, buying a car for our consumer is a very significant step that requires careful preparation and collection of all information. First of all, you should know that there are only 8 factories that manufacture Nissan vehicles all over the world, and 2 of them are located in Russia. But first things first.

Nissan import plants for Russia:

Main production located in Japan.

Samsung factory, South Korea.

Factory "Nissan", Spain.

The plant is located in the UK, more precisely in the city of Sunderland.

In addition to these 4 industries, there are no other factories supplying products to the domestic market!

Nissan production in Russia

Since 2009, Nissan has been assembled for motorists in Russia in their native land. It was in this year that a plant near St. Petersburg was opened with the characteristic name "Nissan Manufacturing Rus". It organizes the assembly of such models as: Teana, Murano and X-Trail.

List of enterprises producing Nissan cars in Russia:

Nissan Manufacturing Rus, St. Petersburg;

Concern "AvtoVAZ", Togliatti.

At the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, the Renault-Nissan alliance is one of the main shareholders.

Together with Rostec and Renault, the Japanese manufacturer defines the development concept, appoints top managers and distributes profits, if any.

Well, now let's try to understand where exactly specific Nissan models are produced for the Russian market, from where the cars come to dealers and car dealerships.

In total, 12 models of the manufacturer were officially presented on the domestic market in 2016. The lineup includes urban subcompact cars, classic state employees, serious crossovers and even a sports coupe.

Almera

This car brand belongs to budget models.

The beginning of release dates back to 1995 and continues to this day. “Almera” is especially fond of our citizens, first of all, for its accessibility, ease of management and stylish design.

Since 2012, the car has been assembled in Togliatti at AvtoVAZ, which did not serve her well.

In option domestic assembly, "Almera" has lost a number of parts that so favorably distinguished it on the market from other cars. At one time, this caused extreme resentment among buyers.

In addition, Almera was produced until 2013 in South Koreaand many Nissan customers preferred this build only.

Qashqai

And Qashqai is an unconditional participant in the sales ratings of all crossovers sold in Russia and always occupies the top lines.

Since 2007, more than 2 million units of this model have been sold in our country. The manufacturer closely monitors that the trend for high sales continues and therefore constantly heats up interest in the car.

Every few years Qashqai undergoes "tuning" or even changes a generation. Sometimes the changes seem subtle, and sometimes they change the car a lot. However, car market experts note that with each new version, the car becomes:

more ( dimensions become slightly wider and longer)

more comfortable

more practical

Nissan Qashqai is produced only in the UK, and only in a version with a gasoline engine.

Therefore, the domestic motorist does not really have to choose. On the one hand, this is good - the British assembly is of sufficient quality. On the other hand, the localization of production could lead to a decrease in cost.

Juke

Initially, "Beetle" was aimed at advanced youth who want to stand out from the crowd, due to unusual design and design.

But, in Russia, this model has become popular and best-selling among women.

Oh yes, this is probably a favorite model, a rather unusual design and expressive power of the car more and more wins the hearts of girls leading an active lifestyle.

A quick glance at the Juke is enough to realize that this model is not suitable for country roads and steep slopes.

Despite the all-wheel drive body and the high driving position, the car is designed for city driving.

The Juke is not going to be in Russia - you can buy it only of Japanese or British production.

Micra

The Micra car, of course, is not for everyone. In Russia, the model is not in great demand.

However, at the same time, it is the absolute record holder among Nissan cars in terms of sales worldwide, since it refers to european compact class.

Small, compact and incredibly economical, the machine is built in the UK and Japan. Like the previous model, this car is very popular with women. In Japan, this car is known as the Nissan March.

The design of the car was developed by Japan, and the interior of the European design studio.

Note

From the very appearance of the model on the domestic automotive market, the car has established itself as a family car, and has taken its own niche among buyers. This machine has been produced since 2004.

If you believe the reviews on the Internet - this car quite easy to use and, surprisingly, very spacious.

Since 2006, the Note has been constantly improving and supplemented with new technological details. Made in Britain, so you don't really have to choose.

And yes, he is also very popular with our beloved women!

X-Trail

Ixtrail is one of the first models of the Japanese concern.

But even now vehicle has not lost its relevance, because it is constantly undergoing restyling and generational renewal.

The large 4x4 SUV is famous all over the world. It is also very popular in Russia. Therefore, the interest of drivers in the issue of where they collect Nissan x-trail for the Russian market.

The model is considered a family model and is in great demand in the domestic market. With each new modification, Ixtrail undergoes "tuning": more powerful engine, improve appearance, increase comfort and safety.

The car is assembled in Russia, at a factory in St. Petersburg.

However, those who are not intimidated by used cars can look for a pre-2009 Japanese X-Trail assembly.

Navara

The only pickup truck of the Japanese auto giant is manufactured and supplied to the domestic vehicle market from Spain. In general, this car is considered a "sports" truck.

This machine has been produced for a long time, since 1997.

The model has different types body, so we recommend that you get to know each separately.

According to reviews, this is a very comfortable and very spacious model, a great option for those who live in the countryside. Ideal for many types of transportation.

Murano

The classic crossover is supplied from Japan or assembled in Russia (at a plant in St. Petersburg). So the domestic consumer has a choice of which Murano to take.

The manufacturer assures that the car is in no way inferior to its competitor BMW X5, but it costs much less. Whether it is true or not, everyone can evaluate it independently.

A little bit of history - you probably don't know, but the car was named after the island of Murano, which is located in Italy. Judging by the reviews, the car is quite popular in Russia, and in addition to everything, it is considered "fashionable".

Patrol

The machine is a real "beast", specially designed to overcome difficult country roads.

The SUV copes well with any difficult road conditions, works literally for "wear and tear".

After a serious change of generations, which took place in 2004, the technique can boast not only cross-country ability and excellent technical characteristics, but also graceful lines and interior comfort.

If before the car was a rough and functional SUV, now it is a good and quality car for all.

"Patrol" comes from Japan, where it is made for the entire world market.

Therefore, you need to worry about quality last.

Pathfinder

The full-size crossover with a spacious interior has been in production since 1984, but continues to amaze with its high ratings and sales figures.

This is a car for those who are interested in a powerful and representative model for getting around the city and in low off-road conditions.

Until 2014, the vehicle was delivered to dealers in Russia from Spain. But then the assembly was localized at a plant in St. Petersburg. So far, no special differences are noticeable and our fellow citizens are happy to buy the Pathfinder of the domestic assembly.

Teana

Tiana - belongs to the sales leaders on russian market.

The popularity has been gained since it appeared on the domestic market (2007) and continues to grow. Until the start of the assembly line in St. Petersburg, Tiana was produced and supplied from a Japanese enterprise.

All cars produced before 2009 are clean Japanese. For other countries, Tiana is made in factories in Japan and Thailand.

Send a request for a test drive

Nissan Almera is one of the best and best selling budget cars in the world market. In Russia, this car is among the top ten most popular in this segment. He has been holding such a high brand for quite a long time, and, based on the results of 2014 sales, he is not going to surrender it. The build quality of the car is so excellent that it suits even the most demanding buyers. And they get it all at a very reasonable cost.

The popularity of the car is not hindered by the fact that the model has been produced for a long time. If you look at the temporal details, then she saw the world in 1995, and during all this time she experienced only four generational changes. Each time, the company's engineers made the car more powerful, more aesthetically pleasing and, oddly enough, more salable.

In 2012, the car has somewhat lost its popularity. And this is connected not with the loss of any technical characteristics, but with a change in the place of assembly. We hope that in 2015 the sales of the car will rise again.

Let's consider with you, where is Nissan Almera collected? for our market. It is the countries where this car is assembled that determine its popularity. So where are the parts for the Nissan Almera and the car made and manufactured?

Nissan factories

Nissan Almera is produced all over the world at the following factories:

• facility in Sunderland, UK. It is this assembly that is the most popular and demanded both in our market and around the world;

• plant in Japan. He completely manufactures all parts for the model and its components. Dealers take original spare parts from here;

• AvtoVAZ in Togliatti. It produces Nissan models after merging with the French concern Renault.

Where Nissan Almera is assembled for Russia

Since 2012 of the year Nissan Almera is assembled at the Togliatti plant. This decision of the company caused a whole mountain of indignation among potential buyers. And therefore, the popularity of the model fell somewhat that year.

AvtoVAZ's production is just fine. The plant has a whole cycle for the production of parts for Nissan Almera and a racing track for testing assembled models. Moreover, the car is not completely produced in our factory. It is assembled from foreign parts sent from the UK. Therefore, our assembly is not very different from the foreign one. In some respects, our engineers are even superior to the British. After all, they give the car such characteristics that can make the car durable after driving on our roads.

Previously, the car was assembled at a Samsung plant in South Korea. There were no complaints about such production. But, unfortunately, the Korean Nissan Almera was discontinued back in 2013. This happened for a number of reasons. One of them was the expensive transportation of parts and high price works.

In general, you should not pay attention to who collects the car. After all, from this it does not lose its technical characteristics, and remains the same - the same high-tech model.

Nissan Corporation is extremely respectful of the Russian market, which is read in almost constant prices for the main the lineup in conditions of inflation and growth of the foreign exchange rate in the country. Today one of the most popular budget sedans becomes the Nissan Almera - a car that was recently developed specifically for Russia. We remember the past generations of Almera, but they were completely different. Today, a completely different car is available to a buyer in Russia, which is based on new simple technologies, effective design features. The car looks quite adequately as a family or work sedan for various tasks. The car can perform the tasks of both a simple budget transport and a representative of the middle class for difficult long-distance trips.

The new generation Nissan Almera is no longer a simple budget car. We are talking about quite progressive technologies under the hood and the good quality of the car. The question of where the Nissan Almera is assembled is of increasing concern to the Russian buyer. This question can be removed if we remember that in such a form as in Russia, Almera is sold only in some CIS countries. From this we can conclude that the new generation Almera was produced not only for Russia, but also directly in Russia. However, the build quality of the car in our country turned out to be quite high, this car will not cause any criticism in terms of the layout. In addition, all major units are supplied from Japan, and only assembly is performed at our factory.

Distribution of Nissan factories and Almera assembly site

Today the corporation is actively working to expand its geography. We are talking about the creation of units with a full-fledged production of cars. The company is especially interested in areas not too occupied by other Japanese manufacturers. In terms of profit and turnover, the corporation takes second place in Japan, huge dividends are given to the company by placing factories in those countries where there is no high wages. However, the company monitors the quality of car assembly, performing this task quite efficiently. Among the main divisions of the corporation are factories in Japan, Great Britain, the USA, Mexico, South Africa and Russia. These are the main concerns. As for the features of the Russian assembly of Almera, the following features can be distinguished:

• production of the model was launched in Togliatti, AvtoVAZ together with Nissan prepared a new line for assembling the car;
• the quality of the plastic suffered greatly for the sake of the low cost of the car, the car received not too expensive interior finishing materials;
• the interior noise insulation also did not receive any signs of an expensive car; when traveling to Almera, you can hear everything that happens to the wheels and the engine;
• the car received good quality seats, very interesting design dashboard, fairly high quality metal of the body;
• welding and painting of the body are also carried out with high quality, the buyer has no complaints about these processes;
• almera's special design for Russia was created specifically in the Teana style of the previous generation, the car personifies high cost and chic.

It should be noted that the company made a lot of investments for the construction of a new production line, received many problems to legalize this activity, but went through all the difficulties quite boldly, having implemented the Russian assembly of Nissan Almera. Many professional drivers who have been on a test drive of the car say that russian assembly here it has not been felt for a long time. The car is completely reliable, of high quality and has excellent opportunities for a successful trip on any road.

Almera Specifications and Performance

Great car with 15- and 16-inch wheels, quite a comfortable ride and good design of all elements. This is what the person who first sat behind the wheel of the Almera will say, if before that he drove old domestic cars... But once you get behind the wheel of a Nissan with new ToyotaLet's say the feel and nature of your feedback changes dramatically. Hard plastics, uncertain position on the road, a lot of factory defects, which are already visible on the first trip. As you can see, the Nissan Almera can be versatile. The machine does have a number of problems, but its advantages outweigh the disadvantages:

• a large enough cabin can accommodate five passengers without any difficulties;
• engines of 1.5 and 2 liters produce 109 and 133 horses, which is quite enough for a dynamic trip;
• conventional 5-speed mechanics and a new generation CVT are quite adequate options for boxes;
• the car received many important advantages in suspension details, as well as in the implementation of the braking system;
• no the latest technologies there is no Nissan Almera on board, but there is enough traditional Japanese technology;
• technically, there can be no complaints about the car at all, especially with an eye on the cost in the showrooms.

Interestingly, in reviews and on test drives, the car is undergoing a real reformation. First, the driver finds himself in a budget environment that looks too gray and uninteresting, and at the end of the test drive he begins to admire the convenience and thoughtfulness of the car. The fact is that it is wrong to talk about the development of a new generation Nissan Almera specifically for Russia. In Japan, since 2007, Sunny has been produced in exactly the same form and with similar technology. Having updated Sunny for Japan, the corporation transferred the old development to AvtoVAZ for the assembly of a domestic budget car with the image of a foreign car. However, this project expected quite predictable success.

Complete set prices and other subtleties of sales Nissan Almera

Cars with great potential can become real leaders in their class, but for the Nissan Almera, this goal is practically unattainable. The car has become popular, but it is simply impossible to overtake all representatives of the budget segment. To begin with, the sedan can hardly be called compact, it is more likely to enter the transition from B to C segment and cannot fully compete with this Hyundai solaris... However, there is no need for competition for this car. The main advantages of the machine on the market can be described as follows:

• availability a large number technical variations of the vehicle for each wallet and each individual case;
• some available configurationsto help make right choice for the price and features of the equipment;
• quite reasonable base price in the region of 450,000 rubles, a very good value for competition in the class;
• beautiful appearance that recalls the traditional design options of the Nissan corporation;
• very high-quality performance of the main elements, despite some shortcomings in materials and their quality;
• quite acceptable ride comfort, reliability of the car at a fairly high level, as for the budget segment.

There are many benefits to be praised for a vehicle. Of course, you can find and negative sides, for which the car should be scolded. But I don't want to look for them at all. That is why, in most situations, it is better to use the personal feeling of the trip in order to get more information about the car and confidence in buying it. Take a test drive in one of the Nissan salons and get the necessary emotions and experience of being behind the wheel of a car. Only then will you be able to tell whether the car matches your aspirations and wishes. We offer to watch a small test drive new Almera on video:

Summing up

A great budget car did not become the most popular in its segment due to some features that the manufacturer donated. Nevertheless, today the Nissan Almera is one of the most promising offerings on the low-cost sedan market. The car is quite ready to prove its superiority in all respects, it can surprise with its high quality and rather pleasant characteristics. Today this vehicle offers great options configurations that will make the trip by car surprisingly pleasant for everyone.

There are many competitors to the Nissan Almera that offer a more sophisticated and modern appearance, adequate technology, high quality assembly. But in all respects, no model can boast of bypassing this development. The Japanese manufacturer thought about how to promote the car on the Russian market and did everything as clearly and correctly as possible. That is why the car received many important advantages and became one of the best-selling cars in its narrow segment. How do you feel about the development of the new generation Nissan Almera?
