A breakthrough in design
SINCE the all-new Nissan Almera Turbo was launched in Thailand last year, much had been said about its breakthrough new design that is “refreshing and impressive at first sight”. The new Almera Turbo incorporates a sleek, comfortable and spacious design that leaves a lasting first impression drivers can be proud of, along with smart technologies that meet the needs of Nissan’s valued customers, especially millennials and young families.
Nissan designers have put in a lot of effort in redesigning the new Almera Turbo, with the aim to redefine the segment. Combining a new dramatic and expressive exterior and a fresh new interior with premium features and quality, everything about the new Almera Turbo design is about attractive proportions delivering a commanding stance.
The new Nissan was reimagined under Nissan’s “Emotional Geometry” design language. Every corner, crease and curve worked together to create something spectacular.
From the signature V-motion front grille and boomerang-shaped LED headlamps that flow across the front end to a sleek, low profile floating roof and signature rear LED tail-lamps that created an aerodynamic and cutting-edge presence, the new Almera Turbo is described as an “energetic, provocative and confident” saloon.
The new exterior design also features longer, wider and lower dimensions while retaining the roomy interior space that the Almera has always been appreciated for.
Overall, it is 70mm longer, 45mm wider and 40mm lower than the first-generation Almera, making the new Almera Turbo look like the size of a C-segment saloon, but sportier. Even the wheelbase has been lengthened by 20mm.
New Almera Turbo dimensions (length, width, height and wheelbase): 4,495mm (+70mm) x 1,740mm (+45mm) x1,460mm (40mm) and 2,620mm (+20mm) wheelbase.
Current Almera dimensions: 4,425mm x 1,695mm x 1,500mm and 2,600mm wheelbase.
Inside, the new Almera Turbo features the latest “Gliding Wing” instrument panel that expands the feel of space through use of a light and sleek “wingspan”.
The effect of the design’s spatial symmetry is an enhanced sense of togetherness. The horizontal architecture, open spaces and use of harmonious materials and colours add a fresh, a-class-above quality to the entire cabin.
Additionally, the sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel, soft-padded double-stitched leather-wrapped dashboard, surrounded by touches of chrome, piano black and carbon fibre pattern textures contribute to the premium interior ambient.
Zero Gravity-inspired semi bucket front seats with grey accent support the lumbar, midback and shoulder region, helping to reduce fatigue while travelling on longer journeys.
The generous 482-litre boot is able to fit in four golf bags and now comes with a lower and wider opening for easier access.
Especially for the Malaysia market, the new Almera Turbo offers as standard foldable 60:40 split-backseats, in case you need more cargo space or to carry extra-long items.
There are six colours for the Almera Turbo, plus three new ones: Radiant Red, Monarch Orange and Dark Metal Grey, while the everpopular Brilliant White, Diamond Black and Tungsten Silver are also available.
