Nissan Philippines made a dumbfounding announcement very recently when it decided that it will cease operations at its assembly plant in Laguna, effectively putting a stop to the production of the Almera distributed locally. With the sad news, perhaps it’s a good time to revisit what made the Nissan Almera a special car in its own right.
When it comes to subcompact sedans, the Nissan Almera is likely not going to be the first choice in most car buyer’s minds, considering the popularity of established nameplates such as the Toyota Vios, Honda City, and even the Hyundai Accent. But for those of you who are tired of the norm, or at least want to be found in a more distinct subcompact on the road, the Nissan Almera offers many positive selling points. Check out the specs, pricing and list of features for the Almera’s six different variants below.
