It wasn’t way back when the B-segment lacked some life, with nothing greater than the Toyota Vios, Honda Metropolis and Hyundai Accent to select from. Today, it’s brimming with choices, with the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent, Mazda 2 (as Demio), Kia Rio and becoming a member of the occasion. Simply this 12 months, Nissan has determined to affix the melee with their newest car, the Almera.
The Almera takes its title from the Spanish phrase “Almendra” which suggests a big diamond. The Almera line could also be new to our nation, but it surely’s truly been round for a while, now on its third era. In different markets, it’s offered because the Versa / Tiida Sedan and rides on the N17 platform. Technically, we obtained its predecessor, the N16 Pulsar, offered within the Philippines because the Sentra Exalta Grandeur (my every day driver).
This Almera is way totally different, clearly taking inspiration from the Teana. Teardrop formed headlights are recessed on both facet of its trapezoid grille. The cabin’s roofline kinds a steady curve because it slopes up and gently again down once more. It virtually kinds a coupe profile within the rear, with tail lights rolling over a ponton-style (popularized by Mercedes-Benz) rear fender.
