The Nissan Almera is offered in one trim level – Acenta. It comes in Automatic or Manual. This means pretty much everything you could want in a budget ride is standard, making things nice and easy so there is no sifting through a long options list. It is a vehicle that is dependable and reliable; this means that you will no longer have to compromise style for space, form for function, technology for affordability because it lets you choose between performance and practicality or pay a premium to transport your family around in style. One of the unique things about it is plenty of room for five adults. Nissan Almera’s surprisingly roomy interior is also remarkably comfortable, with supportive seats, great visibility and its thoughtful features make even a daily commute a pleasure.

The Nissan Almera’s audio system features Bluetooth audio streaming, MP3 and USB connectivity so you can enjoy your tunes just the way you like them. With hands-free Bluetooth capability and steering wheel audio controls, you are safe and in complete control wherever you drive. The pedals, gear shift and steering are all successfully engineered to be incredibly light and undemanding – not a taxing drive at all. Driver and passenger airbags are standard, as well as a suite of braking assist functions such as ABS, EBD and BAS. The passenger cell features high strength construction. ISOFIX anchor points are also standard as well as an immobiliser.

The boot space is equally cavernous, at 490 litres, and much emphasis has also been placed on smoothing out the edges of the boot to create as much usable space as possible. Standard features include 15-inch alloy wheels, electric door mirrors, manual air conditioning with dedicated rear vents and independent fan speed control, a radio/CD/MP3 audio system with aux input port, steering wheel audio controls, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, tilt adjustment for the steering wheel, remote central locking with speed-sensitive auto-locking doors and a comprehensive trip computer with two trip meters, instant and average fuel economy readouts, tank range and service information. The Nissan Almera is available as standard with a 3-year/60 000 km service plan and Nissan’s 3-year/100 000 km warranty. Service intervals are 15 000 km.
