Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has announced the Nissan Almera Kuro Edition. Kuro means black in Japanese, and the B-segment sedan wears black trim on a new exterior body colour for 2024, Glacier Grey. At the most basic level, the Almera Kuro Edition comes with a gloss black front grille and black alloy wheels (15-inch on the VL and 16-inch on the VLP/VLT). Customers can add then add on the Kuro Package or Kuro GT Package. The Kuro Package builds on the Tomei aerokit that has been offered by ETCM for some time now, offering the five pieces (front/rear bumper spoiler, side skirts, boot lid spoiler) in gloss black. The bodykit is bundled with ‘Ice Cool’ window tint, sport pedals, kicking plate, door handle protectors and door visors.
The Kuro GT Package adds on a more
prominent Tomei GT wing in black and 16-inch two-tone Impul Racing wheels. Note
that the Kuro GT Package is limited to 300 vehicle sets and it’s exclusively
available as an add-on to the VLP and VLT Kuro Package. Besides looking good
for a B-sedan, the N18 Almera also offers something different under the hood –
a turbo engine. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo engine has 100 PS/152 Nm and
is paired to a CVT automatic.
AEB is standard across the board and has
been so from launch, while top variants get the full Nissan Safety Shield pack
and a 360-degree camera. There’s also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a
digital meter cluster. The Nissan Almera Kuro Edition starts at RM 83,888, and ETCM is offering a launch promo where you can get the Kuro
Package for just RM 1,000, or the Kuro GT Package for an
extra RM 500 over the regular Kuro Package (list price add-on RM 3,200). The
latter sounds like great value and is limited to 300 sets.
The Kuro Edition without the bodykit is
priced the same as standard, which is RM 83,888 for the VL, RM 89,888 for the VLP
and RM 95,888 for the VLT, all on the road without insurance. This means that
the top Almera with the Kuro GT Package is still below RM 100k. Monthly
instalments start from RM 658.
