Car Profiles - Nissan Almera

NISSAN ALMERA

First launched in 2012 and subsequently released the following year, the Almera slugged it out in the super competitive sub-compact class. While late to the party, its strength lies on the spacious room and trunk at the expense of an awkward rear design that you wouldn't mind anyways. A 2016 update gets more variants including an entry level with a 1.2 engine

The Good: Spacious cabin and trunk
The Bad: Bland driving dynamics, even blander styling.

Price Range: P657,000-P933,000
Our Rating: ***
