High and low: Comparing the top and base trims of the Nissan Almera
Designed as a sedan for “new beginnings,” the Nissan Almera is a perfect investment for any life milestone. It can be your first car purchase or it can be a gift for yourself to celebrate a significant change in your life.
The Nissan Almera comes in four different variants: the Almera 1.2 MT, the Almera 1.5 E MT, the Almera 1.5 E AT, and the Almera 1.5 VL AT.
Intensifying the sleekness of the sedan’s exterior are the stunning accents on the bumper, grille, and door handle. The boomerang-shaped head lamps and tail lights also give Almera’s distinctive look.

The Nissan Almera, which can accommodate up to five persons, ensures the comfort of every passenger as it is designed with a spacious cabin with sufficient headroom and legroom, and a high-quality air conditioning system which is equipped with a rear fan system in order for the air to be equally distributed among every corner in the cabin. The air conditioning is even enhanced on its top trim, the Almera 1.5 VL AT, as it is powered by an automatic climate control for an easier adjustment of temperature inside the car.
The Almera has been remarkable not only because of its design, but also because of its intelligent technologies. Enjoy an easy and convenient drive with its visually pleasing drive computer which indicates the average and current km/L, distance to an empty fuel tank, and outdoor temperature. The vehicle is installed with a rear sonar system for a less challenging parking even in narrow spaces. Some technology features, like the intelligent key and the push button engine start/stop system, are exclusively available on the top variant.
The Nissan Almera is also impressively reliable when it comes to road safety. It is equipped with standard front air bags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution. To keep your car secured, an engine immobilizer is installed on the Almera so car burglars won’t have access to start the engine.
We have compared the top and base variants of the Nissan Almera so you can see for yourself which one perfectly fits your budget and preference.
