The new Nissan Almera boasts a redesigned front facade with their signature boomerang-inspired headlamps which is in-line with their global brand design. It also has a more prominent front grille which is topped with chromed accents. The updates don't stop there.

Inside, a new layout for the center console can be seen. A new multi-information display, 3-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel, and leather seats are featured for the new Almera's top-of-the-line variant.

Meanwhile, standard for the new Almera are iPod connectivity, cup holders, and dual ventilation with speed control at the back. These combined with its generous legroom give passengers a more comfortable experience in the car. Drivers can enjoy the push-button start and remote keyless system features.

For its powerplant, soon-to-be-owners of the new Almera would be happy to know that they can choose between 2 4-cylinder DOHC engines – the new 1.2L and the 1.5L.
