Nissan has put a Russian face on the Almera sedan and sent the car for its debut at the Moscow International Motor Show. The car is exclusive to this market (for now) and will be produced there as well, in Rogliatti.
The Russian version of the Nissan Almera is powered by a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol motor delivering 102 hp nad 145 Nm of torque. This comes mated to either a standard five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic. Sales start early in 2013.
"To create the car we have taken the best engineers from Japan, Europe and Russia and immersed them in the specific demands of the region," said François Goupil de Bouille, Managing Director, Nissan Russia.
"The new Nissan Almera is a Russian car through and through, but one which benefits from the engineering and design expertise developed by Nissan globally. It is perfectly in tune with the needs and expectations of Russian consumers," he added.
