New "Nissan-Almera": photo, exterior, dimensions
The novelty is built on the Renault Logan platform,very popular in Russia. From him, the model received the engine, transmission and other technological solutions. Designers did not invent anything new and literally “sketched” the exterior from the Teana model.
Low cost is emphasized by almost alldetails, and the chrome grille further enhances the budget of the car. The most noticeable change that the Nissan-Almera received was the new body.

Reviews of motorists say that on a serious off-road it may not be enough, but on country roads problems will not arise.
Salon
The car has a classic five-seater saloon.Free space for the driver and passengers is provided with a reserve, while the finish and location of the controls raise questions. The quality of the materials used is average, and the front panel is simple, devoid of any frills.
The second passenger row is designed for three people. Initially, it did not develop, which did not allow to increase the capacity of the luggage compartment.
But she was fixed in the third generation of the car,when the new “Nissan-Almera” appeared. Reviews of the owners indicate that the folding seat back in the ratio of 60/40 is very useful for such a car. But at the same time, this option is provided for everyone except the basic configuration.

In this case, the manufacturer does not exclude the possibility of a diesel engine.

Suspension
Given the specifics of the Russian roads, chassiscar further strengthened more durable suspension elements, designed for increased loads. Independent MacPherson racks are installed at the front, and a torsion beam at the rear. The suspension settings of the novelty are close to the rally ones, which is explained by the same low quality and roughness on the roads.
Among the minuses of the novelty, you can confidently notenarrow wheels (185/65), but a good suspension compensates for this drawback, and the bumps are almost not noticeable in the cabin. The steering is not distinguished by extreme sharpness, but it is quite enough for a comfortable and confident ride.
