Check out the Nissan Almera’s Kuro GT Edition

A “black edition” with a little more thought put into it. Sadly, it’s limited and only available in Malaysia.

This Almera is chock full of Japanese aftermarket goodies, and it’s actually a Malaysian Domestic Market exclusive. What we have here is the Kuro GT edition, and it’s not going to be made available in the Philippines.

The “black edition” is destined for the Malaysian Market. Translated from Japanese, Kuro, means black, but there is more to that than just a coat of black paint on the chrome bits. Typical of most black editions out there, the chrome parts of the Almera were replaced with blacked-out elements which include the grille and door handles to name a few pieces. However, there are also other add-ons which include the front chin, skirt, and rear diffuser kits, plus a spoiler at the back for some added sportiness.

What makes it so special? Well, it’s the fact that these parts weren’t made by Nissan, nor were they contracted to just any shop. The body kits were made by Tomei and were designed specifically for the Almera.

Nissan also gave the Kuro GT edition a new color: Glacier Grey. It’s a dark and sort of mysterious-looking hue, at least while looking at the online photos.

Finally, we have a unique set of wheels. It’s a 16-inch set of alloys with a two-tone diamond cut finish. It definitely adds a little more flair to the entire package, and the brand that made them is called Impul, yet another Japanese aftermarket brand that managed to find its way onto this edition.

Changes under the hood? There are none, but around the car, you get a set of window visors, kick plates, sport pedals, and window tint to go along with the Kuro GT Almera among a few other minor things.

Want one? Unfortunately, the edition is limited to 300 units only and it’s a Malaysian market exclusive, as mentioned earlier. That being said, however, if Nissan Philippines were to bring in a black edition of the Almera, would it look something like this?
