2003–2006 Nissan Almera 2.2 dCi Specs & Performance

The Nissan Almera 2.2 dCi brings a more muscular diesel character to Nissan’s second-generation compact hatchback range. Its practical five-door shape, upright cabin and uncomplicated design reflect a car built around everyday usability rather than visual drama. What makes this version distinctive is the combination of a turbocharged diesel engine and a conventional family-car layout, giving it useful pulling power for motorway journeys and regular commuting. The Almera’s compact footprint keeps it manageable in town, while its flexible luggage area makes it suitable for shopping, family trips and longer drives. It represents a straightforward approach to motoring in which efficiency, useful torque and practical packaging matter more than sporty styling.

Produced from 2003 to 2006, the Almera 2.2 dCi uses a turbocharged 2.2-liter diesel inline-four producing 134 hp and 224 lb-ft of torque. Power goes to the front wheels through a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. It reaches a top speed of 124 mph and accelerates from 0–60 mph in 8.9 seconds. With seating for five and up to 36 cubic feet of luggage capacity, it combines useful performance with everyday versatility.
