Associated Motorways (Private) Limited (AMW), the sole authorized distributor for Nissan in Sri Lanka, officially launched its new Nissan Almera at a special event held at the Nissan showroom in Union Place, Colombo. The event was attended by customers, AMW’s senior management team, Nissan representatives and members of the media, highlighting the strong market interest and confidence in the model.
Designed to meet the expectations of today’s car owners, the Nissan Almera enters the local market as a smart sedan with Nissan Intelligent Mobility features, comfort, advanced safety and outstanding fuel efficiency. Offered by AMW in VE Turbo CVT and VL Turbo CVT grades, the Almera is positioned as a car suitable for young professionals, executives and anyone looking for a practical vehicle that offers long-term value.
Driving at the “speed you want” Nissan’s exclusive HRA0 1.0-litre turbo engine gives drivers the power, responsiveness and confidence to overtake. This engine produces a maximum power of 100 horsepower (Ps) and 152 Nm of torque, providing strong and quick acceleration thanks to its flat torque. The Nissan Almera has been well received in the market as a vehicle that offers “everything you want, at the speed you want”. The engine also includes an Idling Stop feature that automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stationary to save fuel.
Quole Modure seats, with an Intelligent Key system that can automatically lock and unlock, provide “everything you want”. Further enhancing the customer experience, Nissan has introduced Quole Modure seats for the VE Turbo CVT and VL Turbo CVT series. These seats reduce heat and ensure improved comfort for drivers and passengers, even on long journeys. This improvement, along with the keyless entry and locking function, has been added to both series, enhancing everyday convenience and safety.
The Nissan Almera is equipped with a range of comfort features that suit modern lifestyles. Its spacious passenger cabin offers ample space for both front and rear seats. It also includes a well-designed cabin area (trunk), cruise control, a wireless charger, and an updated infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen display. Smartphone connectivity via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay further enhances ease of use and in-vehicle entertainment.
Externally, the Almera’s enhanced V-Motion grille and new Nissan brand badge showcase Nissan’s creativity. Nissan’s famous Zero Gravity front seats are designed with a natural seating position to reduce fatigue and ensure a comfortable ride for long drives.
A safer journey with new technology and 360° Safety Shield
Safety has always been a top priority for the Nissan Almera. This sedan is equipped with features such as Tire Pressure Monitoring System, High Beam Assist and Lane Departure Warning. Nissan’s 360° Safety Shield technology further enhances safety through technologies such as Intelligent Around View Monitor, Moving Object Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Hill Start Assist. All grades are equipped with 6 SRS Air Bags, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, Vehicle Dynamic Control, and pretensioner and load limiter seatbelts for complete safety.
Speaking at the launch, AMW Group Managing Director Jawahar Ganesh said: “The all-new Nissan Almera has been designed to deliver what the Sri Lankan customer truly values: efficiency, safety and comfort. With Nissan’s global expertise and the leadership of the Al-Futtaim Group, AMW continues to bring world-class, market-relevant automotive solutions to Sri Lanka.”
“Customers who purchase the Nissan Almera through our authorized distributor in Sri Lanka, Associated Motorways (Pvt) Ltd., will benefit from a comprehensive ownership proposition from Nissan. This includes a three-year or 100,000km Nissan warranty, genuine Nissan spare parts and after-sales support from Nissan-trained technicians across AMW’s nationwide service network. We believe the new Nissan Almera will be a great fit for our valued customers in Sri Lanka, as well as our Nissan Magnite,” said Atul Agarwal, Director, Aftermarket and South Asia Business Unit, Nissan Motor Corporation.
