FactIn Indonesia this Almera never reached a single private buyer — it was sold exclusively to taxi fleets, because nobody wanted a supermini sedan to own.
The N17 Almera was first introduced in China at the Guangzhou Auto Show in December 2010, where it was marketed as the Nissan Sunny, and went on sale in January 2011. Based on the company's global V platform, the model was touted as a saloon for the global market, gradually marketed across 170 countries with assemblies in numerous American, African and Asian countries. In October 2011 Nissan debuted the model in Thailand as the Almera, positioned as an entry-level saloon for the Eco Car programme in Thailand, which required a 1.2-litre engine to be adopted. The Almera name is also used in Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, South Africa and Nigeria; in the Americas it is badged as the Nissan Versa, going on sale in North America in July 2011 and in Brazil in October 2011, and the Sunny nameplate is also used in India, Vietnam and various Middle Eastern countries.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
