Looks like a really well designed and engineered B segment sedan. Nissan really did a good job this time round. Toyota and Honda have a new true contender in the B segment now. Nice and simple initial impression drive sir. 👍
@@bbqqreen On paper, it was declared as 100hp. However, nobody did bring the car for a true dyno run on a calibrated dyno machine to prove how much power the engine is actually producing on wheel. That is the most important question. In the past, many car manufacturers purposely declare lower HP because there are variations in engine production. Every mass production engine has a % of assembly tolerance. So they purposely declare lower to avoid getting sued for not meeting advertised power. Plus alot of countries tax cars by its engine HP especially forced induction ones, it is only our country that tax vehicles based on engine displacement.
It's a cvt but it has artifical shift points to reduce the awful cvt drone we have become accustomed too. Try the city 1.0 if/when you get a chance. It's quicker and more comfortable than the almera but has slightly lower fuel economy. The almera is good value for money though.
I am sorry but after having two Nissan's with a cvt and the last one was a 2017 Nissan qashqai I will take Mazda's skyactiv Drive 6 spd transmission any day over a cvt :)
YS, ETCM should have allowed you to drive till the old Subang Airport and back to where you started for a better perspective lah. This road is ridden with potholes and traffic lights.
Could this be one of the cars to save Nissan. First impression is pretty good. I'm a bit skeptical of 3 cylinder engine from my previous experience with Daihatsu and Perodua 3 cylinders engines. Hopefully technological advancement has solve those engine roughness.
What's the big deal with Almera's 3 cyl 1.0 ltr turbo engine ? BMW Malaysia recently launched the latest BMW 1 Series with a 3 cyl 1.5 ltr turbo engine with front wheel drive to boot. Do we hear a lot of people screaming blue murder about it ? My brother works in TC Service Centre and he says a lot of problems are due to owners not following the recommended service intervals. Some cars are very sensitive to this neglect, not only Nissan . There are cars that have their engines disabled by their computers when they exceed their service intervals.
This will be the new favorites of fresh grads and those who has worked a few years besides the new Honda. I believe it will be down to what people prefer. Either Lexus esque Almera taillights or Honda G20 esque taillights as major aesthetic factor apart from the specs
uncle, you always do new cars. Understandable. But, try do something like old cars, like wira 1.6 or a waja cps manual to see how much difference or,, are they still great driving, handling things.
Simulated ratios. Some CVT boxes put a "lock" on some part of the cvt, thus simulating a 'fixed' ratio for a bit. Check out the latest Honda Accord video which will be aired today, and you will see, hear and maybe feel the gear changes. Also on the Lexus UX. By definition CVT is stepless, but it has evolved.
YS Khong Driving i mean why the finishing of this car is quite messy? Like a root of a tree😅. I saw almost all japanese turbocharged car like this finishing...
D D bro, it’s new car, model n its kind of segment.. how can ur asking about solving problems ? If u asked after a year this video published , doesn’t matter.. thts y uncle ask u , u’re reffering to what? Since he’s test drive hundreds of car.. idiot
Why are there so many people in the car? Feels as if they're indirectly 'pressuring' you to say just nice things about the car. Sure it looks & feels great for first impression. But I'm more interested to see the reliability of both engine & cvt in the long run, especially since this is turbocharged small engine with the turbo located on the firewall side (less potential to cool down quickly after spirited drive), which I also doubt many average buyers would know how to properly care for a turbo car (extended oil change interval, oil dilution, oil burning etc2). Hopefully ETCM will educate new buyers on this. Also what do you mean by 'theoretically 3 cylinder engine is supposed to be smoother' at @4:25 ? shouldn't it be more cylinders=smoother? Looking forward to see you drive without those Nissan guys around for more honest review.
The specs are truly good, as per my comments. One of them is ETCM staff. The other is my colleague. The long term durability is anybody's guess. I also have no data on that. And there is actually a theory that 3 cylinders is smoother than 4. Six is a multiple of 3, so V6 or straight six sounds better. V8s have a roar - it is supposedly nice, but what gives you that sound? Anyway, an orchestra always is better than a soloist, right?
Uncle. I really like your content. Full of information. So that i don't need to run through the spec sheet. Keep uploading ya! Wish can meet u in person while having cup of tea 🥰🥰
Look at the horsepower figures. Each engine has its design objectives. Some will like the economy of the 1.0, while others may like the bigger capacity of the 1.5.
Depends u drive on city more or highway more. If on highway, bigger engine na much more feel good over small cc turbo engine . Drive turbo sedan 1.5 equaivalent to 2400cc na b4 on highway. On high speed, the engine feel out of breath due to its small cc. No replacement for displacement.
The three-cylinder engine will become more and more tremble in the future. Turbo engines are more expensive to maintain and easy to increase carbon accumulation.
Hi Mr Khong. Nice info! From the beginning of the year, I expected you will try this new car ALMERA hehehehe.. OK uncle which one is better and smooth? Vios, city and new almera. Thank you.

It is different now, totally.
No paddleshift?
Nissan always had only 3 handles. But I think that´s so that the driver can concentrate on driving. No need to hold that but the steering wheel.
Absolutely!
Why need to simulate AT? Shift shock sucks. Smooth CVT is best experience.
Wow! A CVT supporter! Fantastic!

as i know this turbo only for help pick up and 3k rpm . the top speed will more limited .
Hai uncle ys khong,really need you review at genting,really confused which one to buy vios or Almera
Stay tuned.
Can't wait for uncle test it on karak and genting
Thanks uncle.. waiting for genting ride
the stop/start fuction dammage the turbo

Its the camera
Didn’t mention anything about the cornering capabilities. Does it holds better than the Honda city?
It was a short drive. Wait for Genting drive.
That inline 3 sounds so aggressive!
Uncle, almera turbo, 0-100km/h is over 12 seconds. Why is that? I thought 152nm / 4k rpm, should almera have better pickup than H City?
Remember it is a 1.0 litre engine, designed for high efficiency, smooth driving. It is not designed for performance.
Thanks for the amazing video. How does this compare to Vento 1.2?
The Vento has more power and torque.
Ur videos always nice to watch uncle!
