Nissan almera Classic test drive since 2006 sedan

Class collection

Russia is a special country. And its car market is special. Special for a special market for a special country, a special version of the Nissan Almera was released.
However, a special version is strongly said. For a red word. In fact, the Almera Classic, which is produced in Korea in Russia, is familiar to any Russian Almera N16 (the index, I think, knew few), but in restyling.
Restyling can be recognized as radical. This applies to the front and back of the car. Look, but the new Almera wears the Classic prefix not by chance! Placing the classics of the modern golf class sedan genre, the machine resembles many other cars that are currently released in separate features. Now she will wear this collective appearance in traffic flows.
The sedan changes masks depending on the angle. Here is Skoda Octavia, here is the Volkswagen Pointer in the form of a radiator grille is something from Passat and Audi A6. That's right, the Germans are now in fashion. The sidewalls left a pristine look. And who looks at them, at these sidewalls? But the feed was transformed. Here you have a new shape of the trunk, falling, made in the style of American Nissan. And lanterns carriers of aesthetics Focus II and Lancer. By the way, the company reports that they are made in the form of precious stones! What is not a modern classic in its price range?
It turned out really another Almera. By and large, more winning externally than the previous, already familiar. Special. The front -end glitters chrome, flaunts with large headlights and global foglights. Behind the Nissan emblem in the center of the trunk lid and elegant lights. In the arches, solid cast discs R15. And almost all this can be obtained for reasonable money!
I open the door and find myself in the kingdom of hard plastic and inexpensive velor. To check my own sensations, I tap with my hand over the panels of the sound booming. Firmly, but in some places Soft Look. Nevertheless, the quality of the assembly and fitting of the details, one might say, is impeccable, and when the bumpy roads are traveling and on the primer, the salon is extremely silent. The chairs are highly located and those who have growth over 185 will surely mark insufficient adjustment in height with annoyance. I want to lower the pillow lower. Yes, and the seats themselves could be more comfortable that the chair is pushing you out, did not leave for a long time. But there is an air conditioner and an audio system with a CD player. Good visibility, sufficient space for four adult passengers. How is the classic going?
All Almera Classic will be installed with a 1.6 liter motor with two camshafts, equipped with a CVTC system of unacceptable gas distribution phase regulation. The engine gives out 107 hp. And it can go paired with a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual gearbox. A quite modern, peppy motor tells the car sufficient acceleration for the city, and on the highway in a good combination of circumstances allows you to even bring the speedometer arrow close to 200 km/h. The operation of the automatic gearbox also pleased. The switching is fast, the delays are minimal, and the checkpoint slows down extremely rarely. In other words, the depressing dynamics of the car cannot be called. She is acceptable. At the same time, the car is economical (the average fuel consumption during the test was about 8.5 liters in the mixed cycle) and willingly consumes gasoline with an octane number 92.
The chassis is focused on comfortable movement. While you are going calmly, Almera behaves quite decent. Gently overcomes tram tracks, copes with pits and potholes. However, if you drown the accelerator pedal, tumble in a beard in a beard, the chassis will save. The rolls become distinct. With sharp braking, the machine pecks strongly with the nose, and when accelerating it rises on its hind legs. On gentle bumps, buildup occurs. The steering wheel is a little empty, but not so much that you can talk about the control to the touch. But it slows down the car clearly, the slowdown is intense, the drive is informative.
The overall impression of Almera Classic is addressed to drivers who love a measured driving mode. It is better for riders to look after other options.
