The Next Generation V-Motion design and Gray Sky Pearl color turn heads from afar
Nissan has designed the overall look of the New Nissan Almera to reflect a next-generation expression. The previous solid chrome front grille is now replaced with the bolder new entire front end. Every part and fine details, from the front grille, the new brand logo, the hood, and the A-pillar has been enhanced to intensify the V-motion movement and mirror a strong sense of style and mobility experience. The more outstanding Next Generation V-Motion design cue also flows throughout the roof, the side and at the rear, making the car more recognizable even from afar. On the interior, the gliding wing-shape decoration in sporty blue color on the console and stylish bluish trim on the door panels add a more modern & sportier look to the passenger cabin.
The latest new exterior color, Gray Sky Pearl, is a design statement in and of itself. The color shifts at different times of the day and from different angles people look at the car. The color may vary from purplish in a low-light environment and become very blue in full sunlight. When looking at the car from a distance, the viewer may see just the solid color. However, as they get closer, they will start to see the pearl effect. The new shade also creates highlights and darker shadows on the body that stress the vehicle's sportiness.
