2004–2006 Nissan Almera 1.8 116 Specs & Performance

The Nissan Almera 1.8 116 offers a sensible blend of everyday comfort and modest performance in a compact hatchback package. Its practical five-door layout, upright cabin and straightforward exterior reflect Nissan’s emphasis on usability rather than styling theatrics. The larger petrol engine gives it a little more flexibility for motorway driving than smaller-engined versions, while the conventional front-wheel-drive setup keeps the driving experience familiar and predictable. Inside, the five-seat arrangement and adaptable rear luggage area make it a useful companion for commuting, shopping and family trips. Rather than trying to be a hot hatch, the Almera focuses on dependable transport with enough performance for varied daily driving.

Produced from 2004 to 2006, this Almera uses a naturally aspirated 1.8-liter inline-four producing 114 hp and 120 lb-ft of torque. Buyers could choose a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, both driving the front wheels. It reaches a top speed of 116 mph and accelerates from 0–60 mph in 10.5 seconds. With luggage capacity ranging from 12.5 to 36 cubic feet, it offers useful flexibility without sacrificing compact-car practicality.
