2003–2006 Nissan Almera 2.2 dCi 112 Specs & Performance

The Nissan Almera 2.2 dCi 112 is a compact hatchback shaped around practical everyday motoring, with a turbocharged diesel engine that gives it a useful advantage on longer journeys. Its conventional five-door design, upright cabin and straightforward styling reflect Nissan’s focus on function rather than visual drama. The roomy interior and adaptable rear cargo area make it suitable for family duties, while its compact footprint remains convenient in urban settings. Unlike the sportier petrol versions of the Almera, this diesel variant prioritises low-rev pulling power and relaxed cruising. Its familiar front-wheel-drive layout and manual gearbox keep the driving experience uncomplicated, making it a sensible option for motorists who value usable torque and everyday versatility.

Produced from 2003 to 2006, the Almera 2.2 dCi 112 uses a turbocharged 2.2-liter diesel inline-four producing 110 hp and 183 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission drives the front wheels, delivering a top speed of 116 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 11.0 seconds. With seating for five and 12.5–36 cubic feet of luggage space, it combines efficient long-distance transport with useful family practicality.
