  • Before you ask, yes we know we're missing a major segment competitor here.
    Toyota in 2023 brought in the all-new Vios, raising their game by offering a true 'baby Corolla'. A sexier fastback look, DNGA underpinnings, more tech, and much improved refinement. However, it also brought the price up quite a bit (RM96k) as a result.
    This change brings it into the firing line of the Nissan Almera, which has been around in the Malaysian market for a couple of years a bit of a hidden gem now. It's design is arguably just as sharp, it's got a huge boot, a swanky interior, and also plenty of tech and features. It's also got a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine that gives it a sportier edge.
    Both are Japanese. Both cars closes the gap to the C-segment. Both are priced nearly identically. Which is the better buy?

    Nissan Almera is hidden gem and good car, which Malaysian are too conservatives on car only thinking T & H. What a waste on a good product which design to be a global car unlike Vios.

    VLT owner here. Almera has more of a big-car feel to it and the engine hums at a shade under 2k rpm when cruising at 110kmh. The seats won me over after testing the Almera, x50 and City.

    Nice presentation. Congrats to both presenters. But for me visually almeera looks much nicer, simpler and more matured. Turbo is the way to go..

    I’ve owned and drove the Almera VLT for like over 2 years now. I’m a pretty fast driver, so I’ve drove it at genting up and down cutting corners a few times, went to and from Penang a few times at an average cruising speed of 160km/h with more than 2 other passengers cruise control enabled, and even a bit of off-roading at pd lol! Crazy right? And so far the car has been doing amazingly well, the handling and engine feels great, especially when u floor it you’re able to hear this cool sound from the turbo. Although 100hp, so u can’t really expect crazy accelerations and speeds. I really like the design of the exterior and interior as well, I think in terms of that the vios and almera is definitely top 3-4 in the segment. Interior leather on dashboard and seats are really good too! However it falls a bit short since it lacks rear ac, electronic braking and auto hold. Besides that, it is an amazing car to have in terms of reliability, performance, fuel consumption, and looks.
