Nissan Almera update in the year. Archival model Nissan Almera. Nissan Almera history

The budget sedan Nissan Almera in the G15 body was developed specifically for the Russian market and is produced at the facilities of AvtoVAZ. The model is based on the B0 platform, on which most of the inexpensive cars of the Renault-Nissan concern are based, for example, the same one. Suspension Nissan Almera is composed of a front independent structure of the MacPherson type and a rear semi-independent torsion beam. The chassis was adjusted taking into account the specifics of our roads, so it turned out to be almost "omnivorous". The adaptation meant, among other things, a decent ground clearance of 160 mm.

The car has only one powertrain option - the well-known K4M engine, dating back to 1999. Gasoline 16-valve "four" with a working volume of 1.6 liters does not have outstanding technical characteristics. She is capable of developing 102 hp. power and 145 Nm of torque. In tandem with the motor, a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission works. The sedan equipped with a manual transmission is more agile, "bringing" its "brother" with an automatic transmission for almost 2 seconds when accelerating to 100 km / h.

Fuel consumption of Nissan Almera also depends on the type of gearbox installed. Modification with "mechanics" consumes on average about 7.2 liters, with "automatic" - about 8.5 liters.

One of the main advantages of the four-door Nissan is the spacious interior, which turned out to be such thanks to the successful layout and impressive dimensions, which allow the model to be attributed to the C-class or, with a certain stretch, even to the D-class. Also, the sedan boasts a solid trunk, ready to take up to 500 liters of cargo.

Full technical characteristics of Nissan Almera G15 - summary table:

Since 2012, Nissan Almera has been produced on the AvtoVAZ conveyor. Almera 2017 in a new body will be produced there and on the same reliable Renault Logan chassis.

It is due to arrive at dealerships in April 2017.

Exterior

The new look of the car turned out to be quite attractive if you look at the photos posted on the Internet. The windshield tilted back more, which, together with the tapered A-pillars, added visibility. The bonnet cover is almost flat, with small stamped stiffening ribs. The front optics, which have increased in size and flowed deep into the fenders, have become LED. The radiator grille has become more massive and chrome. The bumper has also become more massive and more convex. In its central lower part there is a large lattice air intake, on the sides of which trapezoidal inserts with round fog lights are placed. Outside mirrors for some reason have lost turn signal repeaters.

The door windows are tapered towards the rear of the car due to the rising edge of the glass and the door itself. The border is duplicated by a stamped line just below the handles. The manufacturer narrowed the racks, and the door openings became wider.

The feed of the car also looks more interesting. The trunk lid has become more massive, and the continuation of the taillights has been integrated on it, in the photo they have become like fenders. They also walk onto the sides of the car. The space above the niche for fixing the license plate was decorated with chrome molding.

The overall dimensions have increased, and the car has confirmed that it belongs to the B-class. Its width is 1.695 m, height - 1.522 m, length - 4.656 m. The ground clearance of the car has also increased, now it has become 160 mm.

Salon decoration

Judging by the photos posted on the Internet, the interior of the car is decorated modestly. Finishing materials are inexpensive, but of high quality, with chrome-plated plastic inserts. The dashboard contains the speedometer and tachometer scales, signal indicators and an information display that displays service information.

On the center console there are buttons for power windows, emergency gang, door lock, rear window defroster, heater and air conditioner adjustment. Slightly higher is a six-inch touchscreen display of the multimedia system, which is also a navigation system.

A steering wheel is just a steering wheel, it does not carry any other functionality. The seats are without lateral support, but comfortable enough, and the rear sofa has the ability to fold out in parts.

The trunk volume has increased to five hundred liters.

But all the same, according to the interior, which can be seen in the photo, technical data, it is very similar to Renault Logan, especially the torpedo, it was both in Logan and migrated to Almera.

Nissan Almera has long been familiar to Russians and is in consistently high demand due to its increased reliability and practicality. The car received an increased ground clearance of 160 millimeters, a reinforced body and an upgraded suspension. All this allows him to cope with the harshness of Russian roads and climate. In addition, the chassis of the car is equipped with additional protection elements - steel protection for the engine and transmission, as well as protective covers for the brake pipes.

Many were waiting for the new Nissan Almera 2017 to appear on sale, the photo, the price of the equipment and the cost of additional options of which indicate that the car will become the most attractive offer in its class. To begin with, let's note the moment that 5 configurations and 8 equipment levels will be available on the territory of Russia. At the same time, the price of a sedan starts at 581,000 rubles - this is less than the amount that is required for many other models of the domestic auto industry. Why the car has such a low cost, whether it has good engines and gearboxes, whether it will last a long time are common questions. Note that an expensive version of this car will cost 700,000 rubles. Therefore, let's take a closer look at the Nissan Almera 2017, which should become the most affordable budget car of the Japanese automaker.

Photo news

Exterior Nissan Almera 2017

First, let's talk about the external design of the car, since according to this indicator, domestic models that come out today are often criticized. Nissan Almera 2017 has an exterior that indicates that the model belongs to the budget class. Features are:

• The optics are large in size, made in a rounded shape, which are supplemented with a recess at the bottom. In general, we can say that there is a certain similarity with the optics, which is installed on. There are also fog lights, which are made classically: round, recessed into the bumper.
• The radiator grill is made in the form of 3 gills, which are chrome-plated and made a little rounded. In the center is the Nissan badge, which is also chrome-plated.
• The front bumper is not massive, it has an air intake and a small black plastic protection at the bottom.

• The hood is made in such a way that the optics seem to rise above the general silhouette.
• The side is simple, the starting line of the wheel arches is low, and there is also a plastic protection hidden inside.
• The roof is made in the form of a semicircle, while the slope at the back is more gentle.
• The rear of the Nissan Almera 2017 (restyling) is made in a simple style, the lights are slanted, the bumper does not stand out, a chrome handle with the manufacturer's name is located on the trunk lid.

These moments determine the fact that in terms of its design it has not gone very far from the cars of domestic origin of new generations. The model looks very simple and cheap, the shape is a little embarrassing, as well as the R13 rims, which today already look ridiculous.

Interior

The interior meets the minimum amount requested for the initial configuration. An important point is that Japanese designers and engineers tried to maintain the minimalist style, that is, they did not make many faces and notches, which, in the absence of normal equipment, look somehow strange. It is this moment that can be called the main distinguishing feature of the salon of the Japanese public sector employee and the domestic auto industry. Reviews about the Nissan Almera 2017 say that the car has a relatively low build quality. This was reflected in how the panels were fitted to each other in the cabin. We will call interior features:

• In the initial configuration, the steering unit does not have various keys that can be found on many state employees, including AvtoVAZ. At the same time, the steering wheel is made in an unusual style, which is rarely found in cars: all its parts are located in one plane, visually it seems to be a disc consisting of several elements.
• The dashboard is simply awfully simple made: two circular dials indicating revs and gains, having several symbols that light up in certain cases, an analog small display for displaying basic information, below there is a block of symbols that was used more than 10 years ago on German cars.

• The center console also does not have a lot of decorative elements. In the center there are air ducts, in expensive configurations there is a standard system with a small color display for displaying maps and other information. Below there are large control keys for the main functions, then the already familiar regulating parameters of the air entering the cabin, round-shaped blocks.
• A separate cup holder for two cups and a gearshift lever are located between the seats. The plastic used is of very poor quality, reminiscent of the products that can be purchased on the Chinese counterfeit market.
• The back row is nothing new: a sofa for three passengers with three headrests. At the same time, there is no folding armrest to separate the seats.
• The luggage compartment is also devoid of various shelves and compartments. The only thing that pleases is the spare wheel is hidden in the trunk under the floor. At the same time, a full-fledged wheel, and not a tablet, fit into the created compartment.

Nissan Almera 2017 in a new body, configuration and prices, the photo, reviews of which can be found on this page, has the interior equipment worse than some models of domestic origin from this price category. Of course, it is still difficult to judge the quality of the assembly, but this point is important, since it always shows itself not from the best side in terms of the reliability of the created cars, but the Japanese automaker has proven itself well.

Options and prices

Having dealt with the design of the car, you should pay attention to its prices and corresponding configurations:

1. Welcome- the most affordable version of the car, which will cost 626,000 rubles. For this money, you can install a 102 horsepower gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters on a car, as well as a mechanic with 5 gear shifting steps. The torque is transmitted as standard to the front axle, the consumption in mixed mode is 626,000 rubles. Immediately, we note that the same engine and manual transmission are installed on all trim levels, but there may also be a 4-speed robot.
2. Comfort- this offer comes at a price of 652 to 737 thousand rubles. At the same time, the most expensive offer comes with an automatic transmission.
3. Comfort Plus comes with mechanics at a price of 707,000 rubles, with a gun for 762,000 rubles.
4. Tekna also comes with two types of transmission, the price ranges from 742 to 797 thousand rubles.

The car in question can have quite a lot of options, so we will consider what can be obtained already in the basic configuration. For the minimum amount, it offers a car with frontal airbags in front, ABS, a system for controlling the correct distribution of braking force, a three-point seat belt for all seats and an immobilizer. Already in the next version, heated seats, an on-board computer, an audio training package and several other options are installed.

Competitors

For such a low price for the initial configuration, it is difficult to find a car from a foreign automaker. Competitors can be considered:

At the same time, the cheapest offer in this case already costs 600,000 rubles, and 650,000 rubles will have to be paid for a car of German origin.

Summing up

When looking at the cost of a car, it immediately seems that this offer is one of the best in the budget class. Nissan Almera 2017 test drive video immediately arouses suspicion, since the car has poor handling and generally cannot show the dynamics inherent in modern generations, even of many state employees. Benefits include:

• Low cost even in comparison with.
• The ability to include a wide variety of options that will make the car more comfortable.
• Spacious salon.

The disadvantages include:

• The presence of only one engine in the lineup.
• The presence of old transmissions, both manual and automatic, which are technically outdated.
• The initial equipment, which attracts with its price, comes in very meager equipment.
• If you bring the car into the form that is suitable for everyday performance, then you will have to pay more than 650,000 rubles.

That is why you should consider the opportunity to wait with the purchase and dig a little for one of the competitors. If the price is important, then there is practically no cheaper offer.

A complete set equipped with a manual transmission will cost from 477 thousand rubles, and Nissan Almera Comfort on the “automatic” - 532 thousand rubles.

The cost of the "Comfort" configuration will slightly increase if you purchase alloy wheels in size 15? In combination with air conditioning and a manual transmission, the version will cost 500 thousand rubles, and with an automatic transmission - 532 thousand rubles. The code for this version is F-AA.

Complete set "full stuffing" or the top-end "Tekna" version from 607 thousand almera rubles

And the third configuration is Tekna. In this version, the car owner will have access to all the options of the maximum configuration "Comfort", including air conditioning and alloy wheels. Additional equipment should include a leather steering wheel, illumination of the glove box - "glove compartment" and power windows for the rear doors. Only the luxury version of Almera has a powerful multimedia 2DIN audio system with AM / FM radio support, which allows playing CD / MP3 discs, equipped with an audio input, four speakers, and a Bluetooth module that allows you to connect your phone to the system. The cost of this version of Almera will be 532 thousand rubles with a manual transmission and 564 thousand rubles with an automatic transmission.

And the last, "top-end" configuration - Tekna - the "full stuffing" version will cost 544 thousand rubles for the "mechanics" and 576 thousand rubles with an automatic transmission. The maximum version of the Nissan Almera sedan will have the same options as in the previous configuration, only instead of the traditional audio system, Nissan Connect will be installed here. This intelligent multimedia system was installed on all Nissan cars, and now the owners of the new "top" Almera will be able to enjoy not only high sound quality, but also modern options. The 2DIN system is equipped with a large 5-inch touchscreen display with a Russified menu, a satellite navigation system with maps of Russia NAVTEQ, containing detailed information for 2012 about all settlements and highways, support for CD, MP3 and WMA formats, as well as traditional options - USB an input that allows the car owner not only to listen to his favorite music from flash drives, but also to synchronize the operation of his favorite peripheral devices - players and tablets with the multimedia system, audio jack, local Bluetooth connection and four speakers.

Rich equipment of a standard set of options included in all configurations!

All configurations of the Nissan Almera will be equipped with basic equipment. The sedan will receive a 1.6-liter power unit and 102 hp. From the security system, even the "base" will have two front airbags - the driver's and the front passenger's. Cars will be equipped with ABS and EBD systems, front electric windows. An immobilizer and power steering will be installed. In the new Almera, regardless of the configuration, there will be front seat belts with load limiters, rear without limiters, an upper additional brake light and an antenna on the roof. Each car will have an on-board computer; the manufacturer currently keeps its functionality secret. The car owner can always find out what time it is thanks to the digital clock on the front.

The steering column is tilt-adjustable, but unfortunately not in reach. The new Almera will have a rear window heating equipped with a timer. Air ducts for rear passengers and the presence of cup holders are also a number of useful little things. The trunk in any configuration will surprise you not only with its large volume - 500 liters, but also with ergonomic lighting and the ability to open it without leaving the passenger compartment.

Externally, any of the trim levels will be available with a chrome grille, a rear fog lamp, R15 wheels, unless the trim level implies other equipment. Any version of the sedan has headlights that can be adjusted in height, a steel crankcase and a capacious washer reservoir of 5 liters. The manufacturer has equipped each of the cars with a full-size spare wheel rather than a modest "stowaway".

As we could see from the provided list, the developers have equipped the Nissan Almera with much more electronics than previously reported. It is worth recalling that all the electronics and electrics, body elements and sound insulation were produced by Nissan, while the interior details, power unit and suspension went to the new Almera from the "Frenchman". True, the suspension has been significantly modernized - it was given additional settings, which made it possible to obtain a suspension that is the best in the B-class.

Warranties and purchase from dealers

The warranty for the sedan is 3 years or 100 thousand kilometers. Service will be carried out in the service centers of authorized Nissan dealers.

The manufacturer has not yet given official comments on the exact timing of the appearance of Almera on the Russian market. The preliminary date of appearance was announced as April 15 of the current year.

Recall that according to the official information of Nissan dealers, sales of the new sedan will begin with the "top" version of Almera - Tekna. Representatives of the carmaker Nissan have hinted more than once that the stake will be made on the budgetary equipment "Welcome". Taking into account the realities of domestic dealers, from whom it is almost impossible to purchase mass and budget cars at the minimum recommended price, we dare to assume that it will be very problematic to buy a Nissan Almera for 436 thousand rubles, and the bulk of sales will fall on the Comfort package.
