• Re-introduction of Almera to SA
• Updated face and interior
• Value for money ‘leader of the pack’
ROSSLYN, Gauteng - Nissan's Almera, launched only in August 2013, has already been updated looks and specs-wise with, of course, “greater value”.
Exterior changes include new headlights, a “more distinguished” chromed grille and reshaped front and rear bumpers. New 15” alloy wheel-rims and rear parking sensors are also now part of the package.
There’s new seat fabric with contrasting stitching, an updated fascia with a new audio system design, and revised aircon controls. The Almera keeps its acknowlegedly serious rear legroom and huge 490-litre boot.
STILL TWO MODELS
The steering-wheel in each model has been updated to add cellphone controls alongside the pre-existing remote controls for the audio system – the latter adding USB.
