Classic (B10) Overview:
Nissan Almera (Classic (B10)). With 150 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.4 l/100km). Weighing only 1185 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 13.9 s). The top speed reaches 177 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
1.6 i 16V (107 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The automatic transmission slightly dulls the 107 Hp engine's performance, resulting in noticeably slower acceleration. It's suitable for relaxed driving but lacks urgency.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption increases to 7.6 l/100 km with the automatic gearbox, which is acceptable but less efficient than the manual. Still reasonable for urban driving.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • High reliability and durability
- • Good fuel economy (manual)
- • Spacious interior and large trunk
- • Affordable purchase and maintenance costs
Cons:
- • Dated design and interior materials
- • Lackluster performance (especially automatic)
- • Basic safety features by modern standards
- • Limited comfort features
Specifications:
Specifications are compared to those of the previous generation(II (N16, facelift 2003): 2003 - 2006).
