Nissan launched its second eco-car in Thailand after March, which is also the first eco-car sedan body in the market. Almera appointed, he returned to a name used by Nissan in Europe for its station wagons. If it sounds familiar, the Almera Thai is what we know that the new Sunny, the large sedan segment B which made its world debut in Guangzhou last year.
Built on the platform also used by V the tailgate in March, the Almera is great for a car body to the Vios / City segment, a similar approach chosen for the Latio sedan, although the Almera / Sunny is more streamlined shape (Cd 0.29). It is 4425 mm long, 1695 mm wide and 1500 mm high, while the wheelbase is 2600 mm a ruling class. Nissan claims that rear knee room at the D segment, and having sat in the front, I agree. The boot space is a large 490 liters.
The Almera comes with a rear spoiler (with brake light LED), fog lamps and chrome grille and door handles. Available kit includes instruments Fine Vision, MID, direction buttons, climate control and the Intelligent Key with push button start.
The Almera, like Mars, is powered by the 1.2-liter HR12DE 3 cylinder petrol engine. This 12-valve unit equipped with CVTC makes 79 hp and 106 Nm at 4400 rpm and is mated to Nissan Xtronic CVT gearbox or a five-speed manual in the base grades. This effective, lightweight (weighs between 962 and Almera 1027 kg) package is stimulated by Tech Start-Stop to deliver the fuel demanded 20 km / l and low CO2 emissions of 120 g / km.
Note that this transmission is different from China's Sunny spec, which comes with a bigger engine HR15DE. A more effective package is required to comply with the Thai eco-car rules. The Almera also sports a black interior instead of beige.
The Almera / Sunny is one of Tan Chong's future plans, although no one knows what will be called here. Click here to read our coverage of the world premiere of Guangzhou, and display a complete resolution Hi gallery.
