The first-generation Nissan Almera (N15) in Europe appeared in 1995, replacing the Nissan Sunny (N14). Despite the new name, it is nothing more than a continuation of the line of the Japanese model Nissan Pulsar / Sunny (the history of the car dates back to 1978) for the European market in a similar body (N15) with some differences in the finish and line of units. The car was produced in three types of bodies: a sedan and a hatchback in three- and five-door versions. The hatchback is 200 mm inferior to the sedan, it has a smaller trunk size, but the presence of a lifting rear door with a large opening makes it more practical. The appearance of Almera is rather boring and in many respects typical of Japanese cars of those years - rounded body shapes and optics in the absence of special memorable features. However, due to the high Japanese quality, the car successfully competed in Europe with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. In 1997, a restyling of the model took place - he touched bumpers, a radiator grille, car optics, and the suspension was modernized. Under the hood of the hatchback, you can find gasoline 16-valve engines with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters (87 and 99 hp).
The interior of the Nissan Almera N15 hatchback, like the exterior, cannot boast of any unique stylistic solutions - everything is extremely simple and functional here, during the restyling the arrangement of some buttons on the front panel changed, the finish improved. The interior is comfortable, although it cannot be called spacious. In terms of equipment, the hatchback looks good even in standard equipment, which will offer a power steering, wheels on R14 steel wheels, an adjustable steering column, a dashboard with a tachometer, fabric upholstery of seats, air conditioning, an audio system with 2 speakers, a central locking system and front electric windows. More expensive hatchback versions include electric side mirrors, velor upholstery, rear power windows, an advanced audio system (up to 6 speakers), and an on-board computer. The SR version is in a sporty design, with a matching body kit, sports seats, alloy wheels and fog lights as standard.
The simplest modification of the Nissan Almera N15 is equipped with a GA14DE engine - this 1.4-liter engine develops a maximum power of 87 liters. with. and maximum torque of 116 Nm. Being equipped with a mechanical “five-step”, it accelerates a 5-door hatchback to a maximum speed of 172 km / h, and accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in 12.6 seconds. The more powerful 1.6-liter GA16DE engine has a reserve of 99 “forces” and a torque of 136 Nm. It can be equipped with both mechanics and a 4-band automatic. Accordingly, the maximum speed is 180 and 168 km / h. Acceleration 0-100 km / h - in 11 and 12.9 seconds. The average fuel consumption (AI-95 gasoline) of a younger engine is 7 l / 100 km, of a 1.6-liter - 7.3 or 8.2 l, depending on the gearbox. The fuel tank holds 50 liters. It can also be noted that in the European market for the Nissan Almera hatchback, a diesel version with a 2.0 liter engine (75 hp) was also offered, and a “hot” version 2 was offered in a three-door body. 0 GTI with a gasoline turbo engine with a capacity of 143 hp, which was able to accelerate the car to "hundreds" in 8.2 seconds at a top speed of 209 km / h.
Nissan positioned Almera as a car with a fairly high maneuverability and handling. This was especially true for the GTI version available to European customers. The hatchback has an independent suspension (front MacPherson strut, rear multi-link). The car received front ventilated disc brakes, rear drum brakes. The body has the following dimensions: length - 4120 mm, width - 1690 mm, height - 1415 mm. The wheelbase is 2535 mm, and the minimum turning radius is 4.8 m. The mass of the car is about 1065-115 kg, the maximum carrying capacity is 510-540 kg. The luggage compartment is 340 liters, but it can be increased by folding the rear seats. The safety of the first generation Nissan Almera hatchback is quite high by the standards of its time. Standard safety features include belts with pretensioners, amplifiers in the doors to protect against side collisions, an additional brake light, five head restraints. The car received a driver's airbag and anti-lock braking system - a standard since 1997. After restyling, the passenger airbag became the standard, and side airbags were added to the options.
Among the advantages of the Nissan Almera 1995-2000 hatchback are the high build quality, reliable suspension, the presence of unpretentious engines with a chain drive. Of the minuses - low power motors, a boring exterior and interior, a small clearance. Given the years of production, the car body should be checked for corrosion (sills, underbody, arches).
