All photo session I remember the main disadvantage of Logan was unsatisfactory course stability. A small sedan with a pretty high center of gravity did not know how to go straight, forcing the driver to constantly twist. Almera holds straight exemplary, and even on the prohibited speed rules. She does not react to wrapper. In short, go on this car by the motorway is one pleasure. It is not bad for business and on the winding track: the sedan is not Azarten, but we are predictable and reliable in the habits.
But the main advantage of Almera is the suspension. For her settings, this car can be forgiven everything. Already Logan was practically ideal for this part, but Almera surpassed him. If Renault, due to a short wheelbase, was distinguished by some jumping, then Nissan rides as an iron. And the ability to swallow bumps, potholes, cracks and even phenomenal phenomenal pits. And on the back sofa, the smoothness of the course is no worse. In short, this car is prepared for Russian depths as no other, and not only in its class.
The verdict of our test is: potential buyers We must not be inflatable, but to run to the dealers of Nissan, and then the Japanese will understand what they have extended, and raise prices. However, I am sure that in this case success Nissan Almera. Provided.
Specifications Nissan Almera.
Gabarites, mm.

At the end of 2012 in Russia specifically for domestic market Began production sedana Nissan. Almera. According to the authors from the Renault-Nissan coalition, this car was supposed to become a modern example of an affordable, practical and inexpensive "foreigner" with the body type popular in our country. The concept united the "rethinkable" shell of the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy second generation (2005-2012. Vol.) C technical filling Renault Platform B0, on which unpretentious Logan and Duster are made. It seemed that the "hybrid" engineering at such a level would certainly lead to a worthy competitive result. Over the period that has passed since that moment, it is possible to give some assessments to this project, besides the site on long test I purchased such a model from the first batch, and this instance happened to survive some "children's diseases".
Nissan Almera "lived" in a fleet of the site exactly two years. 85 000 km passed: the car was bought in Tolyatti, operated in Moscow, Vladivostok, Novosibirsk and Irkutsk, visited Estonia, Crimea and Mongolia (twice). The car has been studied completely - both from the point of view of consumer qualities and in terms of reliability. It is time to find her new owner.
Program winter tests Almers hardly was not torn: the planned mileage on ice (Baikal) had to be canceled due to the warm winter and, accordingly, the dangers of drowning the car. The exit - to draw with the breeze on the ice of the Mongolian Lake Hubsugul, the benefit of the occasion introduced himself: a visit to the ethnographic holiday of ice.
If our Nissan Almera was exploited and served a bore, acting strictly according to the instructions, the blog could be closed: to write nothing about. In the refined Nissan Almera conditions - too budget, reliable and, as a result, a boring car to talk about it in a blog interesting. But the "human factor", or rather, just life, throws us new and new plots.
In Siberia, disaster - winter, and there is no frost. People sadly sigh - "anomalia", the dogs are ahead of schedule, and the cats in the spring are yelling. Baikal, contrary to age-old observations, was covered with ice only half. Deployment and violation of the life cycle. To restore the natural course of events, we sat in Almera and went to look for the first Baikal ice.
Well, what, brother, rusted car? - Rushing rushing, if you have a good one. In this typical dialogue at the crossroads in anticipation of "green" and there is the essence of the driver of Nissan Almera 1.6 Tekna, which over the past two weeks passed 4,000 km from Novosibirsk to Ulan Bator and back to Irkutsk. This douty, cargo and melancholic, at first glance, the car allows you to confidently wind the kilometers of a big road, if you are tough, almost cruel. Translated from high-speed on a simple driver: unscrew the motor to the maximum, switch to an increased 4000-5000 (and even higher) revolutions. And do not care on a low boilers, the motor blast is his favorite song. It is on high speed Almera becomes whole, firmly shot down and a muscular car, because in the usual mode 2000-3000 rpm. This is a typical budget "pensioner drive-car": slow, sleepy and annoying on the road.
Making Soviet times well remember that the usual division of the classes of cars did not exist: Zhiguli, Volga, Muscovite here, roughly speaking, and all the "classes"! It is now, opening the borders and tastes all the global variety, we have become good to understand that there is a "crossover", "convertible" or "coupe", and also that our Oka belonged to the "A" or "Supermini" segment european classification. Moreover, there were classes that unite cars according to similar price and body positioning. For example, in Russia appeared and became very popular "state employees" - numerous compact sedans, which are cheaper only "Chinese" or Togliatti Lada. We will talk about these "budget" cars today and talk in the most in the entire history of Droma Test. So, we start "Holivar" ...
When you do not get the latest new product for the test, and the model has been present in the market for several years, one way or another has to talk about history. It all started in 2005, when the sale of the Nissan Bluebird Sylph was started in Japan. In 2006, under the name Sylphy, he began to collect in China, and in 2011 they decided to put on the main conveyor of the Volga Automobile Plan.
Starting the Nissan assembly Almera Russia It turned out to be a very difficult event. And the adaptation of the model to the Russian realities was quite painfully, and the start of sales, scheduled for autumn 2012, was transferred several times - first for January 2013, then for March, then for April ... As a result, mass and rhythmic deliveries of dealers began Only closer to autumn.

RESPECTRELIBILITY Add and chrome clamping radiator and door handles, and bumpers and painted body color and side mirrors, and alloy discs. By the way, such discs are included in the complete set of Comfort + and Tekna, but black mirrors and door handles are only at the elementary version of Welcome.
Again, Almera is sold only in the body of a sedan, and we have sedans are considered prestigious hatchbacks. Well, the fact that in some angles, especially in the back, the car looks somewhat thought-out, so it does not matter. After all, the company does not hide that it is designed not to young people, which give all the bright and catchy, and not on the beautiful floor, but on family people In adulthood - it is important for them that the car looks solid and status. But it is also important that the potential owner will find inside.
Equality on older
And it will be discovered, above all, really outstanding space in the rear seats. Officially, Almera refers to the B + segment, but the places "on the gallery" in it more than in many segments segment e! I am with my height of 182 cm not just with ease of the "myself" - if you wish, I could throw my leg to the leg, because it turned out that my knees from the back of the front seats separated centimeters 15.
And the generalized father of the family will undoubtedly like the fact that already noted by the feast is not a design miscalculation, and the price paid for the trunk volume of 500 liters. Agree, a solid figure, albeit not the largest in the class, but very decent. For comparison - in Priora, the volume of the trunk is equal to 430 liters, in the newest Lada Vesta. This indicator is 480 liters, in sales leaders Kia Rio. and Hyundai Solaris. - trunkings are also 500 liters, Renault Logan. - 510 liters, Lada Granta. - 520 l, u Datsun ON-DO -530 l, station wagon Lada Largus. In a five-seater configuration - 560 liters. At the same time, with his values \u200b\u200bof live weight, I felt in the trunk of without any problems and I did not even have to put the back of the rear seat. In general, in the former dashing times, someone would certainly decide that the Almera trunk is very convenient to export business partners for a mental conversation to the nearest fishing line, but now this option is unlikely. Rather, this volume will be used to transport a pair of bags of potatoes or baby carriages, and the folded backs allow you to solve the table of transportation of the table with unscrewed legs, a ski or a carcass for the greenhouse.

On the inside of the lid there is a challenge handle, so you do not have to get a stack of hands, closing the trunk. A trifle, but nice ... But not just a big trunk, and not even something that opens as "from the key" and located on the floor with a lever ... It is important to combine it with a scope on the second row. And here Almera is out of competition! Alas, but on this all positive in the description indoor space Nissan Almera has ended with ...
Apartment with decoration from the developer
The key word in the interior is the word "dull" and its synonyms. Sad fabric finish. Boring, hard and soapy to the touch plastic panels. By God, the Vazov eight, nine and a dozen plastic were more expensive and better!
Everything else also sees melancholy ... Inexpressive devices with orange backlight. The duplex of the radio without a display, with a CD player and aux-input (I had a Comfort + version, and only Tekna can boast the Nissan Connect media center with navigation). Sad three-span steering wheel, hard and not too grasp. There are no controls on it and not foreseen, even on the top version. About heating the steering wheel (and I am sure that this option in Russia must be mandatory even for budgetary cars) I'm silent at all. Power windows front doors are not automatic, that is, the glass moves while you chew on the key.

There are, however, heated the front seats. True, at first I decided that it was not, and in the specification its presence was prescribed for a red senlee. And only some time later it turned out that the switches are located on the bases of the seats in a narrow slot between the cushion of the seating and the door. It costs all this pleasure of 573,000 rubles, but some dealers can ask for more ... But we will return to the burning issue to the burning issue. In the meantime, we note that Almera, if you contact my favorite architectural associations, it is quite a spacious, but very simply furnished apartment in the panel new building.
Ode suspension
Well, now it is worth talking about what the car is on the go. Maybe here her advantages with interest overlap all the flaws? I take place behind the wheel and first find out what ergonomics driver's seat Also far from ideal. She sat so that it was convenient to work with pedals - the hands turned out to be treated too high. Lowered the steering wheel - he blocked the devices. Raised up the seat - the devices became visible, but the head buried into the ceiling. In a word, a convenient position found with great difficulty ...
You need to adjust the key to the ignition lock too, because it is not visible from the driver's seat. Seats - with not the most successful profile. The fact that he doesn't like my back, it became clear immediately, and the fact that he hardly doesn't like it, in two hours. Having understood in his own feelings, it came to the conclusion that the backs of the seats at least lack the lumbar backpage. Review - within the limits of permissible. True, the head restraints of the rear seating are tightly overlap the survey in the salon mirror. Fortunately, the side mirrors have quite acceptable size. The key to the start, the first gear, went ... Immediately I want to note that the pedals are very light, practically weightless, but quite informative. The stroxual sixteenthly gauge K4M, of course, cannot strike with hurricane accelerations, but it pulls it quite confident. Shift shift - without exquisite definition, but also of such a "jelly", as on the all-wheel drive vase models of the era "to Renault-Nissan", is also not observed. Yes, the moves of the lever are large enough, you can't walk with kistegoshki, and there is no boxing armrest, so it's not the right hand to open what. But the suspension ... She's definitely better than the first Logan, but it was Renault Logan that has become a benchmark for adaptation to bad roads! Having retained the excellent energy intensity, the car markedly surpassed the Frenchman's strength rate. And as Almera passes the "lying police" with dynamic unloading, is not even a poem, this is an oratorio!
The rest of the same positive sides Concluded in the absence of negative. The car is obedient, does not float along the road (at least on permitted speeds). The reactions to the steering steering are quite predictable, the Almera trajectories goes exactly, but it is not necessary to talk about some kind of drive or emotional response. However, why did the drive and emotions of the car, designed for the honorable father of the family? His task is to confidently move from the point and to the point B ... But that's what I would definitely recommend any Almera buyer - it is immediately born with additional sound insulation. Noise begins kilometers twenty per hour, and on sixty carriage wheel arches "U-U-U" begins to seriously put pressure on the ears, so that even the worked taking "Music Make Pogroms" does not help too much.
Give the right to choose
Well, you can sum up ... So what do we have? And we have a solid looking, spacious sedan dear japanese brand, with a big trunk, not too fast, but not too slow, with a spacious interior and not very good sound insulation, perfectly adapted to our roads collected in our country and selling for sane money.
It would seem that such a combination guarantees that in the conditions of crisis, the car will still save its buyers and the level of sales. AN No, in 2015 Sales Almera fell by 44% or almost 20 thousand cars, despite the fact that the same Hyundai Solaris was sold for only 1% less than in 2014! So what is the main problem Almera? In my opinion, in the insufficient number of available options. One engine, two boxes and two and a half configuration. Two and a half - because Comfort, Comfort AC and Comfort + differ very little, and the top version of Tekna (603,000 rubles for the "mechanics", 643,000 rubles for "Avtomat") left them not too far. What concerns basic configuration Welcome for 499,000 rubles, it may seem that it exists is purely virtual. In any case, it is really not in all salons. So it turns out that some competitors can offer a more attractive price for the same set of life benefits, others are more of these fate for almost the same money, and most importantly - a significantly greater set of these bolets, including more powerful engines. But three years ago it seemed that the competitors were at Almera, read, and no, since some models are much more closely and have significantly more delicate suspensions, while others are significantly more expensive that the Russian market is able to swallow everything that he will be offered.
With the beginning of the car's output, many immediately rushed to criticize him, they say, too old engine, a non-ergonomic salon from Logan ... and criticizes that mostly those who live in big cities rides good roads and does not understand why, for example new Kia. Rio and the Nissan Almera 2013 linked with the French are almost the same. Really lovers of sports suspension [...]
For you a new test drive car Nissan Almera 2013! The man who went to test the almera was mentioned that as she learned its value, so I wanted to find a lot of flaws in it ... in more detail what came out of it - watch the video
During the test drive Nissan Almera, we rated the suspension and manageability of the new sedan. With pleasure we share information with our readers. New almera ignores bad roads Nissan developers perfectly worked out, creating an extremely stable suspension, ignoring all the negative nuances of the domestic road coat. The task was normal - construct a comfortable suspension for bad roads, while not turning the car in [...]
It is enough to quit a quick look into my native Russian transport thick, to understand - today on sales among new cars in the leaders budget sedans. With this spring "in their regiment", at least one "fighter" will become more: on the podium among all POLO, Rio, Aveo, Solaris. And other Loganov will appear a new star - Nissan Almera.
True, with predecessors new model There will be nothing in common. Almera Classic.which on the Korean homeland was sold under the Samsung brand, belongs to the class "C". The latest copies of the model who supported their time term came from the conveyor in November last year, and dealers will sell balances for several more months ...
But the new Almera is signed otherwise: despite the fact that it is 146 mm longer and 82 mm above the "Forerunners", Nisanovans recorded it into the "B +" segment. That is, in size, the sedan turned out more, in terms of volumes and capacity is very cooler, but the table of ranks dropped. Marketing rules the world! Mda-ah-ah ...
Almer is designed in the British Engineering Center japanese companies In close cooperation with Renault engineers. Children's Alliance! Where is now without mergers? It was designed specifically for russian market, it will be released here. Where exactly? Yes, yes, in a place where "not far from there" Hands are growing "- in Tolyatti, wherees, wherees of the rat perhaps Lada Largus.
Ergonomics I. interior Nissan. Almera - flesh from Renault Logan flesh. All "sick" places exactly exactly like the "Frenchman". Vertical driver's landing does not contribute to long-term travels to "Dalnyak", unpretentious seats are not so hot as held in turns, thank you. steering column Adjusted in height!
The basis of the old familiar platform B0 is taken as the basis, on which Renault / Dacia Logan, Sandero, Duster and already mentioned already Largus are built. Meat, bones - the main elements power Structure, engine, transmission, suspension, electrician and electronics - everything is borrowed from the French. And in appearance and you will not say about such close related links! Long base, attached roof, elongated silhouette with a far-out trunk ... nothing reminds? Sure! TEANA. Rodality is guessed in detail. Headlights are characteristic of the latest nissans protrusions, radiator grill, geometry of windows, reliefs. There would be more wheels - from fifty meters from flagship sedan The novelty would simply not distinguish! Especially in a dark suit.
However, big wheels, expensive "casting" and a low profile here for nothing. Nissan his almerator is celite, mainly in the regional buyer - according to the forecasts of the Russian representative office of the company, the regions will have about 70% of all sales. And we know what ways. The main thing is not to use dust in the eyes, but to survive on Colds. In priority - simplicity, unpretentiousness, normal clearance, capacity and affordable service.
How does Almera behave on the road? On a flat asphalt, which on the roads near Yaroslavl and the coal with Gulkin's nose, the aristocratic sedan manners does not shine. Reactions to the rotation of the steering wheel calm, and now they are in addition to diluted with winter non-Nokian Hakapeliitta R installed on test cars. But the steering wheel drive is miracle as informative, the calibration of the hydraulicel is excellent - the microrelief and the frictional properties of the surfaces, which are moving, feel literally the tips of the fingers! I recognize Logan!
The design of the chassis, which is called, is "no easier." Front - ordinary MacPherson, rear semi-dependent beam. And what else do you need to move on the roashaw racks? Manneriness and multilinka on broken asphalt plexus are excesses from the world of roys and aesthetes. And here are simple "bones" Almers here is the most "then."
Soft omnivorous suspension having huge moves, ready to leave unnoticed, it seems, of any size of irregularities. Patchworks, failures threatening sizes are potholes with sharp edges ... At first, when forceing all these asphalt payments, I want to jump on the driver's seat and pull out the steering wheel with the roots to all the trapping along with the column, rack and traction (cyclists will understand how no one has been developed with The small years of "jerk on ourselves", it works when they come to a large threatening pit, stone or border) ... But Almers, at least henna, rush will not choose, and the vibroacousty is better here than in the same Renault Logan and Sandero. Pouring a little to the energy intensity, the obstacles start to force the one. And it relaxes great. And how does she keep a course! It seems nothing can knock down almer from the trajectory. By the way, the version with mechanical box The gear on the go liked more, it possesses a somewhat more rigid suspension, which is much better coping with a longitudinal star and rolls, all this is only a positive effect on manageability!
Run, push! Jumping this kind can only fix the fall witnesses. Those who are inside or the moment of separation nor the moment of landing do not feel. Due to the twisted kinematics of the long-time and energy-intensive suspension, the Almera is rigging both in direct, and turns on the roads of any quality
Nights, of course, do not name short, and the bumpers are completely painted in the color of the body, forcing themselves about their favors and safety, but 160 mm of clearance with any defolds contribute to the confident forcing the snowdrifts and off-road. And without a 1.5-millimeter steel protection of the Carter, installed in the "base", in Yaroslavl ice kips, I would feel like a hockey goalkeeper without a "shell".
The renicted 1.6-liter 102-strong sixteenth glove managed to establish itself as very reliable and unpretentious. The thrust is flat in the entire range of revolutions, noisy, though, but here it is more in sound insulation ...
The volume of the tank washer is five liters. Unlike the same Logan, where the tank is slightly more than three liters, in slight weather, add "Omeavika" will have less frequently. But pouring a "non-freeze" is uncomfortable, a narrow neck is located at the engine shield on a solid distance from the right side of the car. While it will reach it and cope with a plump self-closing lid (it is always necessary to hold it), you can swap clothes. Pay attention to noise insulation with inner hood for so budget car It is unclear
What is the expense? Automatic box I. winter tires In the frosts are forced to spend 11.5-11.7 liters of fuel at 100 kilometers in the urban cycle. Multimito on modern standards. Over the city in the "economy mode" I had about eight, and even when the speed was within 90-110 km / h. It is good that the engine is distinguished by okay, you can save, translating almera to a diet using the "92th" gasoline ... However, with a manual transmission, the consumption is somewhat lower.
- The signal button, as in Renault, in the end lever control light. When, finally, is it a solution to kanet in the fly? When the driver is transplanted from one car to another, any "non-standard", especially the one that concerns security can play a keen joke at the most inopportune moment, while other traffic participants automatically become hostages of the situation. Why doesn't anyone come to the head between the case to change the gas and brake pedal places or organize a mirror shift scheme?
- Air flow controls located on the central console, from the hands are inconvenient. We must think, power windows in the car for such a price you need to perceive as a high benefit. However, their location on the central console for the average driver is unusual and uncomfortable. For saving on wiring, we pay our security. Fastingly omitted before a lively crossroads, doves or grossing windows will not work. The axis of the adjustment knob mirrors intersects with the axis of the "handler" - uncomfortable.
- The efficiency of the heater is reduced by the non-optimal distribution of air flows. In strong cold, even if the maximum of hot air to put down, the legs are still murred. With a blowing side brake - full order (You can send a stream), but the deflector of the blowing "Lobovukhi" is not enough "wide"
The ancient spacing hydrotransformator "Avtomat" AL4 (it, like the engine, comes from Spain) has "winter" mode and even allows you to switch the transmission by manually by the selector. Valited, since this feature makes it possible to prepare for overtaking and forcibly throw off a pair of gear down. By the way, to the upper steps, being in manual mode, the box switches alone as soon as the engine reaches the cut-off. And it is right - to hang on the "limiter" on the "oncoming" when overtaking the wagon fun below the average.
Engineers say that Almer's power unit calibrations received their own ... Maybe this concerns serial cars? On our samples from the pre-seater party, electronics, as well as on Logan, is confused from time to time in transmissions. You have 50 km / h on accelerator, "Avtomat" some time thinks, pins the "third", then again loses consciousness and only after the rolling nod, having risen, throws the second ... Hurray! Now you can accelerate! But, damn, I no longer need, the train went ...
- The driver's seat has an adjustment of height in the middle and highest equipment, the head adjustment nuts are facing the central tunnel - a convenient and practical solution! Heated seats is effective, although it does not have adjustment by intensity, and its buttons are damaged in the "blind" zone, they are on the base of the door side.
- The base of Nissan Almera is 70 mm longer than Renault Logan. Rear place - car and small cart. People of medium height on the back sofa can already sit, putting the leg to the leg. The author of the article possessing 190 centimeters of growth, after he sat down "for himself", between his knees and the back front armchair A pair of tens of centimeters remained!
For a pensioner driver, such an algorithm can and will fit ... But for me it is better with the "mechanics". By the way, it allows up to 100 km / h accelerate already 1.8 seconds faster! Spurt from place to the cherished "hundreds" at the version with a manual box takes 10.9 seconds! "Short" main para And the pinned row contributes to very dynamic movement in space. What, what, and when starting from the traffic light and in the stream, you will definitely not be! True, Irry the gearbox lever (the actuator of which at pre-seventive samples did not differ in clarity) is quite often.
However, Nissan Almera does not interfere with the role of a good family car For bad roads. Her main trumps - a comfortable chassis, informative steering, excellent ravage, providing neutral turning, which allows you to safely feel at the time of extreme maneuvers, considerable ground clearance and capacity. But the weather spoils the ergonomics of a driver's seat somewhat, which does not allow to hold the wheel long hours during the wheel during long journeys, "Miscalculations" and inconvenience in the management of "climate", blowing, windows, electric killers, heated seats. Yes, and the power unit, although tested by time, but archaic and voracious.
The new Almera will be presented in three grades. The simplest Welcome with a manual transmission costs 429,000 rubles. Comfort, where there are already fog, heated seats, adjusting the driver's seat height, the rear central headrest, painted in the body color of the mirror with electric and heating, will cost 453,000 rubles. For the "automatic" and the air conditioner will have to pay another 51,000 "wooden". But the top version of Tekna with power windows and multimedia system It will rise in 535,000 rubles with a manual transmission and in 565,000 rubles per version with the "automatic".
105-Strong Volkswagen Polo. Sedan in the basic version of TrendLine 1.6 MT5 will cost 449,900 rubles, version with automatic transmission It is already worth 576 800. Kia Rio with a 107-strong engine 1.4 from 479,900 rubles, and for the version with "automatic" will have to post 519 900. His Korean twin twin Hyundai Solaris brother with similar force aggregates It is 445,000 and 480,000 rubles per version with "mechanical" and "automatic" gearboxes, respectively. Prices Chevrolet Aveo. Start with a mark of 454,000 rubles for the "mechanical" 115-strong model. Variation with a hydrotransformer "machine" will cost 530 "wooden". And finally, the ratauldulated Renault Logan Expression with the engine 1.6 (102 hp) and mechanical transmission It will cost 424 "thousands" to get the Loganovsky "Avtomat" to the buyer will have to fork out half a million rubles. So, Almera on the background of rivals looks quite worthy! It seems to me that the low cost and the totality of valuable qualities will not interfere with the almers of the country's planned annual thirty thousandth circulation.
