Facelift

In October 2002 the Almera underwent a revision of the optics and the technology. In addition, new diesels were introduced by Renault, which could show more power through direct injection. The notchback was taken off the market in Germany, which was due to the recent drop in demand.

From February 2006 the Almera was only available with the 1.5 liter petrol engine.

In October 2006, the production of the Nissan Almera was finally stopped. The successor to the successful, because reliable, Almera in Europe was taken over by the Nissan Tiida in early 2008 , which was launched in Japan at the end of 2004.
