My parents drove the same 1996 model as this 1996 Nissan Almera parked here in BeDo Amsterdam. This model was the first generation Almeras. After the second generation Almera, the later generations have never been exported to Europe while they are still being built. Since 2019, they have been working on the fourth generation. Marketed in the US as Nissan Versa, a sedan built on the platform of the Renault Clio and Nissan Micra.
Nissan Almera
The Nissan Almera is a line of automobiles that has been manufactured by the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan since 1995. For its early generations, the Almera is a compact car (C-segment), essentially being the European export-market version of the Pulsar for the first-generation model (N15), and the Bluebird Sylphy for the second-generation model (N16). Since the third-generation model (N17), the Almera nameplate was repositioned to a subcompact or B-segment saloon based on the V platform. The N17 Almera is marketed globally with the usage of five other nameplates for various markets.
The first Almera rolled off the production line in late 1995, as a replacement for the Nissan Sunny (N14), a nameplate which had been in use for nearly 30 years. The Almera was almost identical to the Nissan Pulsar (N15) sold in Japan, except with different trim options and petrol engine range.
