Common Problem

TL;DR
The 2020 Nissan Almera has been reported to have issues with its CVT transmission, timing chains, and coil-on-plug (COP) failures. Additionally, concerns about spare parts availability and maintenance costs are prevalent.
Transmission Issues
One of the most frequently mentioned problems with the Nissan Almera is related to its Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Users have noted that CVTs have been a persistent issue in Nissan vehicles from the 2000s, affecting reliability and increasing maintenance costs.
Engine and Mechanical Concerns
There are reports of timing chain problems and excessive oil consumption in the Almera. These issues can lead to significant repair costs if not addressed promptly. Additionally, some users have experienced COP failures, which can cause misfires and require replacing all coils and plugs due to difficulty in pinpointing the problematic cylinder.
Spare Parts Availability
Concerns about the availability of spare parts for the Almera have been raised, particularly in markets like Malaysia where the car is less common compared to competitors like the Toyota Vios or Honda City. However, some users note that parts are manufactured locally or in nearby regions, which might alleviate some concerns.
Maintenance Costs
The perception of high maintenance costs is another factor that affects the popularity of the Nissan Almera. Some users feel that the cost of keeping the vehicle in good condition is higher than that of its competitors, partly due to the aforementioned mechanical issues.
Brand Perception and Resale Value
Nissan's brand perception and after-sales service have also been criticized. The resale value of the Almera is considered low, which may deter potential buyers despite the car's features. This perception is compounded by the competition from more popular models in the same segment.

History of Nissan Almera

4th Generation (2019-Present)
The current model features a bold V-motion grille, turbocharged 1.0L engine (100PS), and advanced safety tech. Tailored for ASEAN markets, it emphasizes sporty styling and urban practicality.
3rd Generation (2011-2019)
Marketed as "Sunny" in some regions, it adopted a curvier profile and fuel-efficient 1.5L engines. Production ended in Europe (2018) as Nissan shifted focus to SUVs.
2nd Generation (2000-2006)
This generation introduced a sharper design and improved cabin space. It offered diesel options and a sportier N16 model, but sales declined due to rising SUV popularity in Europe.
1st Generation (1995-2000)
The original Almera debuted as a compact sedan, replacing the Nissan Sunny. It featured practical design and reliable 1.4L/1.6L engines, targeting budget-conscious families in Europe and Asia.
