Nissan Almera Sedan Used Sedan Review

When Nissan developed the second-generation Almera, it had to not only counter the threat from increasingly sophisticated hatchbacks but also had to prove itself attractive in the face of competition from the burgeoning mini-MPV sector. The standard Almera's versatility certainly scored on the first criterion making a late-used Almera far more in demand than the first-generation car ever was. An affordable Nissan with inbuilt desirability? You'd better believe it.

History

Whilst the original Almera was a worthy offering, perhaps the British public took the initial advertising campaign somewhat at face value. Indeed 'The Car They Don't Want You To Drive' was in fact scarily prophetic. If they didn't want us to drive it, who were we to argue? Besides, the prospect of driving a car with a roofline that resembled the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson didn't exactly fill us with anticipation.

The 2000 model-year car changed the way we perceived the Almera. Gone was the gawky styling and uninspired interior. In its place was a car that was confident and mature with a far more European feel and fit and finish to rival anything emerging from Germany. Prices were very competitive and with a revised engine lineup and a range of six standard trim levels as well as Activ value editions, the Almera has exceeded Nissan's modest expectations. In late 2001 a four-door saloon version was announced to a market which has traditionally shunned the idea of booted hatches. A year further down the line, Nissan facelifted the Almera, changing the bumpers and grille for a more Primera-like appearance. The trim designations were altered, pricing was made more aggressive, the engines were tweaked slightly and the Primera's N-FORM dashboard was fitted to all but the base models. Soon thereafter, Internationally, Nissan added a common-rail 101 kW 2.2-litre dCi diesel to the Almera line-up available solely in a new top-of-the-range SXE trim designation. It also revisited the SVE trim level, adding DVD-based satellite navigation. In spring 2003 Nissan added a pair of special edition models to the range, the Pulse and the Flare. None of the Nissan Almera models made it to South Africa.

By the start of 2006, the Almera was starting to look decidedly dated next to modern family hatch rivals. The range was slimmed down to just one engine option (the 1.5-litre petrol) and two variants - a manual and an Auto.

What You Get

Inside, the Almera has moved up a class, with a quality feel reminiscent of something much more expensive. That probably won't be what you remember, however, after the salesperson guides you around the 'super utility' interior which is filled with clever touches. Not all of them are new, but how they're executed is better than anything family buyers have seen to date.

There's the sunglasses holder by the rearview mirror trimmed in fabric so as not to damage the lenses with constant use. The centre console glovebox with a tissue holder built into the lid. A 12v power socket mounted on the console is as easily accessible by the kids for their Gameboys as by Dad for his 'phone. A 'curry hook' in the front passenger footwell for your takeaways that retracts when not in use to avoid snagging your legs.

Storage spaces abound - there are over 20 around the interior - ranging from a washable rear garbage holder for sweet wrappers to sill trays sculpted for a can of de-icer and front door pockets designed to take thick atlases along with huge bottles of fizzy drink. There are two 'secret boxes' for valuables (one hidden under cup holders in the centre console and another beneath the rear floor) and a compartment for colouring books and pens built into the rear centre armrest (which also includes two more cup holders).

Then there are the really unique touches. The twin luggage nets that hold oddments in the side of the boot can be joined together and stretched across the load floor to stop larger items from sliding about. Then there's the umbrella holder - velcro straps that fasten the item to the front of the rear seat cushion. You can also fasten your briefcase or laptop computer in the same place, thanks to a retractable briefcase strap. The idea, says Nissan, was to make climbing into your Almera feel like coming home.

Ambitiously, they also wanted the car to be one you'd feel proud to have sitting on your driveway - not thought likely to occur to owners of the previous Almera or its predecessor the Nissan Sunny. Still, thanks to what the stylists call "one of the most innovative and spirited looks we've ever created,'' they may even have succeeded. Because it's wider, taller and longer than the car it replaces, this model sits with a greater sense of purpose accented by what's called a 'surf-tail' kicked-up roofline.

The shape's practical too, with plenty of headroom and decent space for three across a comfortable back seat that split-folds to reveal 355 litres of space (25 litres more than a VW Golf). In the front, provided you specify the optional side airbags, the seats can be fitted with Active Head Restraints that reduce whiplash injury if you're hit from the rear. This is a possibility because the braking performance has been much-improved thanks to a 'Brake Assist' system that reduces the pedal effort required to activate the ABS by around 30% in an emergency.

Used Almera Price

Each secondhand Almera’s price will depend on the model year, mileage, physical condition and even transmission. To get an idea of the price of a standard Nissan Almera - browse the used stock offered by a Nissan dealer.

What To Look For

You'd probably be shocked if we were to catalogue a litany of fundamental faults with a Nissan. It isn't going to happen. The only boring thing about the second-generation Almera is its metronomic reliability record.

Replacement Parts

Consumables for the Almera are reasonable, although prices crank up for more specialist parts. 

On The Road

On the road, as we've suggested, the car's very good to drive - a quality promoted in the latest model by a body that's 30% stiffer than before. The gearbox is positive but a bit vague, a pity since all three engines feel very willing. The 1.8 petrol is the fastest engine currently on offer, making rest to sixty in 11.1s en route to 185km/h. Don't ignore the new turbodiesel if you're so inclined though: it takes a little time to get going but once it does, you can hustle it along quite rapidly - and get over 1,600 km on a tankful. The handling is superb with plenty of grips and good feedback from the chassis. The light clutch and steering make the Almera effortless to pilot through town.

Overall

If you could combine Japanese reliability with German interiors and French driving characteristics that would make quite a car. Fortunately, Nissan has taken the effort out of such a task with the Almera sedan. It's not the obvious choice but it's up there with the class leaders. Unexpectedly recommended.

What You Want To Know - New Nissan Qashqai Review

The new Nissan Qashqai crossover is smarter, safer and better equipped than its predecessor – here’s a stellar review.

With the new third-generation Nissan Qashqai available in SA, we had a turn in one to see if it’s worth getting excited about another entry into the hard-fought baby SUV segment.

Let me start by saying this wasn’t a comparable SA-spec car. The UK market Qashqais come with a mild hybrid version of Nissan’s 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, this making peaks of 116kW and 260Nm. South Africa has a non-hybrid version claimed to be good for 110kW and 250Nm.

We’re able to get manual or CVT Qashqais. The test car came with the oddball combination of the six-speed stick shift plus a fully-loaded variant, with this being pretty much equivalent to what the Qashqai Ti offers in the UK.

Actually, not quite. While Nissan has confirmed that plusher Qashqais will get the company’s sleek new 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, our test car made do with the 9.0-inch launch-spec version.

Seats	Five
Boot volume	504L seats up
Length	4425mm
Width	1835mm
Height	1625mm
Wheelbase	2665mm

Although the turbo engine pulls hard once boosting, it has a boost-free hinterland at the bottom of its rev range which similarly hinders smooth low-speed progress. Another issue our standard-fit CVT should cure.

While the European mild hybrid engine is very slightly more powerful performance should be near identical. With the manual gearbox the SA-Qashqai is reckoned to be able to dispatch 0-100km/h in 9.5-secs; hardly scintillating by modern standards, but it actually felt respectably brisk on road, with enough urge to get the driven front wheels scrambling for traction when launched keenly.

The test car also sat on huge 20-inch alloys, an inch bigger than the largest option in Australia. These certainly looked good, but were probably largely responsible for a clumpy ride when asked to deal with Britain’s low-grade tarmac. The base suspension is clearly fairly soft, resulting in substantial vertical movement over bumps, but making the Qashqai feel plush on smoother surfaces.

Steering is direct and delivers respectably crisp front-end responses, although with little discernible feedback. It’s definitely a car that feels happiest when making gentle progress, but that’s hardly surprising, is it?

Beyond its lukewarm dynamics, the rest of the Qashqai is actually pretty good. It certainly isn’t lacking visual impact thanks to a strong front-end graphic with triangular grille and narrow headlights. The bodywork uses Nissan’s origami-inspired design language with crisp contours and a glasshouse that narrows towards the rear of the car, and it is well proportioned considering its dinky 4425mm overall length.

The tailgate has a coupe-like profile, but visibility through the narrow rear screen is decent from inside the cabin.

It impresses inside, too. Nissan seems to have passed beyond its era of scratchy, low-rent cabin trim, with the Qashqai getting a well-designed and well-finished cabin. Dashboard and door trims get a leather-effect finish which looks and feels upmarket by segment standards, and the decision to keep conventional HVAC controls instead of a screen interface makes for simple, intuitive navigation.

The digital instrument pack is nicely designed, but the display screen is lower resolution than it would be in a posher rival, and although my test car’s 9.0-inch touchscreen was a generation behind the one we’ll get it worked cleanly and was easy to navigate, including wireless Apple CarPlay integration. Front and rear seat occupants get both USB-A and USB-C connectors for charging.

Space is impressive for this part of the market, with a huge range of driving position adjustments; I’m 180cm tall and with the seat motored to its rearmost position I could barely touch the pedals. And despite having the full-length panoramic glass roof which will come with the Ti trim there was still plenty of headroom.

Using all of the room up front will have an obvious effect on the space that’s left for rear-seat passengers, but I could sit comfortably behind myself although the rear door aperture is a bit small for adults. Although there are three seatbelts at the back the Qashqai is definitely best thought of as a four-seater; the centre rear is narrow and tight with a fold-down armrest behind it. The boot is smaller than that of many rivals, with just 436 litres of volume with the rear seats in place, and with an underfloor tray for valuables.

All Qashqais come with an impressive suite of active safety tech, including AEB, lane-keep, blind spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition and auto main-beam lights. It has already earned a five-star EuroNCAP rating including scores of 91 percent for both adult and child occupant performance, and 95 percent for active safety features.

More expensive versions include a 360-degree camera system for low-speed manoeuvring, auto parking and Nissan’s ProPilot cruise control with lane keep. This struggled with lane markings on narrower roads but handled higher-speed highways well.

Offering ProPilot in the Qashqai fitted with a manual gearbox created an odd sensation, the system demanding I retake control whenever speed got too low for whichever gear the car was in. It should play much nicer with an auto gearbox where it will feature a three-second stop-and-go function for crawling traffic.

Engine	1.3-litre four-cylinder turbocharged mild hybrid
Power	116kW @ 5500rpm
Torque	260Nm @ 1800rpm
Drive type	Front-wheel drive
Transmission	Six-speed manual
Weight	1466kg

Conclusion

The new Qashqai is a decent all-rounder, and it’s not hard to see its combination of equipment, quality and comfort appealing in the sensible part of the market it’s aimed at.

Small Nissan City Car Reviewed

 

Nissan Micra Hatchback

If a small car is top of your shopping list, then take a look at out Nissan Micra review to see why this city car would suit your lifestyle. 

Nippy, compact, great for city driving, small cars are good first cars as well as handy for driving around town. With fun engines and quirky looks, city cars can hold their own for longer journeys too these days. 

• Edgy design inside and out
• Competitively low emissions
• Sense of fun, modernity
• Cheap to run
• Easy to park
• Low emissions

The Nissan Micra has been around since 1993 and since then has developed an enviable reputation as a reliable, dependable and practical small car.

Launched in March 2017, the fifth-generation Micra features a totally different look to its predecessor – and indeed, most of its rivals. It’s sharp-edged and stylish, with a bold face and sloping roofline making it stand out from the crowd. Step up to higher trim levels and you can have two-tone paint or stylishly large alloy wheels, too.

Although there is an N-Sport model, it’s not a hot hatch like the Ford Fiesta ST, Hyundai i20 N or Volkswagen Polo GTI. Instead, it’s an appearance pack that makes do with the Micra’s sole available engine. Like most rivals it’s a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder, although there’s only one power output. You can have an automatic gearbox, though.

Like most rivals these days the Micra is only available with five-doors, boosting practicality. Even so, we wouldn’t say this is the car’s forte with plenty of rivals being better bets for rear seat space. At least the boot is a decent size.

Nissan Navara Review: New Range Updates

Nissan updated their Navara range in 2021. Since the third generation of the Navara was launched, there have been a number of upgrades and Nissan gave it another facelift including additional safety features, new styling touches and some comfort features.

Nissan has seen a general move toward the more up-market variants in bakkies. Not surprisingly then, they dropped the base models and retained the higher-specced Navara models. The top-of-the-range fourth option in the line-up is called the PRO-4X.

This Nissan Navara review discusses the upgrades that the range received on the 3rd generation, for the current 4th generation Navara range.

Nissan Navara Update Exterior

The cosmetic changes to the outside of the car are:

• New Bonnet
• Interlocking front grille
• New wheel design across the range
• Quad-LED Headlamps
• New front bumper and facia
• A new rear-designed rear tailgate with the word “Nissan” boldly across the bad.
• A new design for the tub.

The result is a more aggressive look with modern touches, particularly the headlights - resulting in a stronger look.

The latest top-of-the-line hero variant is the PRO-4X. The only extra feature for off-road performance is to have all-terrain tyres. But there is a fair amount of bling to the exterior including:

• Fender flares
• Roof Rails
• Darkened exterior theme
• Unique black stainless steel double tube sports bar
• Dark-themed wheel design
• Stealth Grey Premium paint option

Nissan Navara Update Interior

There were not a lot of changes in the interior. The cup holders that were set low down from the driver and passenger have been removed. Nissan says they have also increased the seat comfort for the second-row passengers by providing more sculpture seating.

 Nissan Navara Update Features

In terms of features, Nissan is making the most noise about the Genuine Accessories that you can add to your vehicle including:

• Off-Road Bull Bar
• Front Sports Bar
• Soft Tonneau Cover
• Tub liner
• Snorkel
• Rear Ladder rack
• All-weather Floor Mats
• Towbar (Standard on the ST-X and Pro-4X – max braked towing capacity: Diesel = 3500 kg)

Nissan Navara Update Engine and Drivetrain

The drive train was upgraded to the 2.5 litre diesel (and one petrol) engine, with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic.

Nissan Navara Update Driving Experience

The launch day included driving several dual cab models: one with an unloaded vehicle; one with 350kg in the tub; and one towing a trailer with a load and a gross weight of about 1,000 kgs plus 100 kgs in the tub.

Based on the review of the Nissan Navara - the vehicle was quite comfortable with the various loads and in fact, while 350 kgs holds back the performance a bit, it makes for a slightly better overall stable ride.

Nissan Navara Update Safety

In order to strive for a five-star crash test rating, it is not surprising that Nissan added some safety features to the Navara.

All models now get:

• Forward Collision Warning
• Emergency Braking, and
• Driver Alert

Higher grades get:

• Blind Spot Warning and Intervention
• Land Departure Warning and Intervention
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Reverse Parking Sensor
• High Bean Assist
• Automatic Rain Sensing Wipers

Nissan Navara Update Verdict

The Navara remains a competent bakkie with variants for work and/ or family. This upgrade, irons out a few more things and provides some extra safety features that are comforting to know for private and commercial buyers.

Nissan’s Acceleration Towards Electrification And Carbon Neutrality

Nissan has appointed two experienced leaders to new positions to accelerate its journey to electrification and carbon neutrality in the Africa, Middle-East, India, Europe and Oceania (AMIEO) region.

Guillaume Pelletreau, currently Managing Director of Nissan’s Regional Business Unit for Nissan Center Europe in Germany, is appointed Vice President Electrification and Connected Services AMIEO, in addition to his current role.

In this new role, he will take strategic leadership of the region’s key role in the electrification of the Nissan business in AMIEO – a key pillar of Nissan’s Ambition 2030 vision, driving towards a cleaner, safer, and more inclusive world.

Within this global vision, European markets in particular will lead the switch to electrified driving. By the end of the fiscal year 2023, Nissan will offer an electrified option on all of its passenger cars in Europe, with more than 75% of sales to be electrified by the fiscal year 2026. The company also intends to expand its battery refurbishing facilities beyond Japan with a new location in Europe during the fiscal year 2022.

Pelletreau, who joined Nissan in 2005, will report to Francois Bailly, Senior Vice President and Regional Chief Planning Officer AMIEO, and will have a functional reporting line to Leon Dorssers, SVP Marketing and Sales AMIEO. He will be based between Nissan Automotive Europe in France, and the Nissan Centre Europe offices in Brühl, Germany.

Nissan’s Ambition 2030 vision also supports Nissan’s goal to be carbon neutral across the life cycle of its products by the fiscal year 2050. To reinforce the company’s commitments to the environment and its communities in the region, Stacey Levey is appointed Director – Governance and Sustainability, AMIEO.

Levey, who also joined Nissan in 2005 and is currently Deputy General Manager in Nissan’s global Corporate Management Office in Japan, will be based at Nissan’s European headquarters in Montigny-Le-Bretonneux, France, and takes up the role as Europe leads the drive to electrification and with Nissan’s first EV36Zero manufacturing hub already in development at its UK plant.

“Electrification and sustainability are the two key pillars of our business, as we continue to transform Nissan to meet the needs of tomorrow’s customers”, said Anish Baijal, Global Vice President, HR & Transformation, and General Affairs AMIEO. “We will continue to build an organisation to deliver our Nissan Ambition 2030 vision for the benefit of our customers and communities [at all Nissan dealers].”

Long-Term Review Of The Nissan Juke

 Enjoy this long-term review of the Nissan Juke, compiled by the TopGear team.

Here’s a question: what do you consider to be the halo car of the Nissan range? Take your time, don’t rush into a decision.

Who am I trying to kid? You know why I’m asking... the answer is the Nissan Juke for sale. When you’ve stopped laughing, I shall continue.

To be honest, it’s not something I would have entertained myself until Ollie Kew mentioned to me that the Juke is the prime recipient of all Nissan’s swanky new technologies. Let’s have a look at the list... the Tekna+ as standard gets Intelligent Around View Monitor (with moving-object detection, rear cross-traffic alert and forward-collision warning), Pro-PILOT (with traffic-jam pilot, lane-keep assist, intelligent cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert) as well as intelligent emergency braking with pedestrian and cycling recognition, intelligent lane intervention and intelligent driver alertness warning. Even the most cynical among you would have to say that’s an impressive list.

And that’s in addition to all the standard blind-spot intervention, traffic-sign recognition, voice recognition and activation tech... that’s a lot of kit in a small, seemingly unimportant vehicle. So, surely, that must mean that the Juke is Nissan’s halo product.

And you thought it would be the GT-R. Maybe some of you even though the X-Trail. Hell, I even heard someone say they thought it might be the LEAF. Well, I guess it makes sense – after all, the LEAF is Nissan’s foray into future tech. However, the fact remains that carmakers put their best tech, their most innovative thinking into their halo cars... therefore, irrefutably, the Juke is Nissan’s halo car. The end.

Buying a Juke rather than one of its rivals means your car’s carbon footprint before it reaches your front door is lower than one that’s been built and shipped from halfway across the world. An interesting thought to ponder?

One constant throughout my time with the Juke has been how outspoken people are about its styling.

As you’d imagine, the baby Nissan crossover polarises opinion – I would imagine you yourself probably have very certain thoughts on its looks. Makes you wonder where the inspiration for it came from…

This isn’t a quirk of fate or happenstance, Nissan deliberately created the original Juke to be stylised. The beach buggy looks were specifically designed to be, according to Nissan, “slightly rebellious”. The new Juke is an evolution of this thinking. Slightly toned down and smoothed off, I actually think the design is an improvement on the first generation, which can only be a good thing.

A large part of its appeal is how the Juke can be personalised, especially as you go higher up the specification ladder – an intense bit of website clickery and I’ve decided that two-tone paint is my favourite option. It’s actually standard on our Tekna+ and looks really smart – don’t tell anyone, but it’s a paint job I actually would have chosen myself. In total, there are 21 interior and exterior combinations.

Responsible for dressing the Juke from head to toe in colour, material and finish designer Carine Giachetti.

She’s based in Paddington and in a recent interview described the strongest influences on her work: “Nissan Design Europe is right in the heart of London, so we have access to architecture – a juxtaposition of new and old – coupled with modern art and the latest in fashion. All of this sparked the inspiration behind redefining the new Juke’s appearance. This helped us hone colour options and determine what will remain in vogue for years to come.” Um.

Well, at least one thing is now clear – the inspiration for the new Juke was architecture. And art. And fashion. Glad that’s cleared up.

That's all folks. Time for the Juke to leave us for pastures new. It’s been with us for six months, covered many thousands of miles and been driven by half the team. 

It’s frugal and easy to manoeuvre. It’s been reliable, economical, spacious enough... OK, some don’t like its style, but at least it stands out from the crowd.

This little crossover managed a long and arduous highway commute just as well as it nipped through country lanes. So, though it may not have reclaimed its crown, to me it’s still royally good.

The (Now Used) 2021 Nissan Navara Review

The 2021 Nissan Navara for sale brought the biggest change to the Navara range since this model was introduced in 2015, with a new look and more technology.

All sheet metal from the windscreen forward was new, as well as the bold bumper and grille and redesigned headlights. And Nissan also spent some money on new rear fenders and tail-lights.

The interior is the same as before, but the new steering wheel and digital instrument display are welcome changes.

Given that bakkies and vans have a model lifecycle of about 10 years, this is likely the last major update to the Navara until a new generation arrives four or five years from now.

The cheapest models in the range are the flagship STX and the top-spec model is the Pro-4X.

At launch, the RRP for the Nissan Navara line-up showed prices had risen across the range and are closer to – or in excess of – newer and better-equipped rivals.

The 2021 Navara line-up has been streamlined, and now starts with the base model SL, available as a two-wheel drive cab chassis with a single turbo 2.3-litre diesel.

While the most basic Nissan Navara now comes with autonomous emergency braking it doesn’t get the full suite of advanced tech.

All models come with seven airbags (as before) and this model is eligible to carry its five-star safety rating from 2015, even though the criteria have become tougher since. Radar cruise control is not available on any model, despite the large sensor on the grille (instead it is used solely for autonomous emergency braking).

Other Nissan Navara SL models – such as the extra cab and double cab 4x4 variants – gain the twin-turbo 2.3-litre diesel fitted to the rest of the range, although power and torque remain unchanged from before at 140kW and 450Nm.

The Nissan Navara ST gains the LED headlights and tail-lights, alloy rather than steel wheels, and rear privacy glass, plus a few other features.

From the Nissan Navara ST and up, all models come with extra safety tech such as lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning and a 360-degree camera.

The interior of the vehicle remains largely unchanged however a new steering wheel and digital instrument display are welcome changes.

Apple Car Play and Android Auto are part of the standard package.

The back seat retains rear air vent coverage but there’s now a USB charging port.

And Nissan is still unique among its direct rivals with a sliding rear window. And we love the Navara's adjustable tie-down points in the ute tub.

A range of new bullbars, extra lighting and other accessories have also been developed, and are ready to go.

Service intervals are 12 months or 20,000km (whichever comes first). Capped price servicing is available but wasn’t listed on the website for the updated model.

On the road

Although it looks new, the 2021 Nissan Navara drives the same as before - so opting for one of these used bakkies is close to buying a brand new one.

A lot of the updates such as acoustic glass and extra sound deadening – and revised suspension and steering – had been done in the lead-up to the arrival of the new look.

That said, while the Nissan Navara platform is starting to show its age, it’s still a relatively refined vehicle to drive.

Nissan had some examples loaded with 325kg in the tray, others had a 2000kg trailer (a little over half the 3500kg capacity).

We didn’t point the Navara at too many hills – and both loads were within the Navara’s limits – so it was no surprise it handled the tasks easily.

Previous testing of heavier loads has shown the Navara is mid-pack when comes to heavy lifting.

Verdict

The new 2021 Nissan Navara looks the business and is relatively comfortable to drive on tarmac and in the daily grind.
