Nissan Almera Tino (00-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
This Almera hatchback spin-off follows in the same vein as Scenic, Picasso and Zafira. Like most models in this class, it's practical, roomy and fits five with ease. It's well equipped and very user friendly and the ride is good, but there's too much bodyroll when cornering. The steering is precise and manual models have a slick gearchange.

Running costs

The high-spec diesels are most expensive to buy, but will hold their value the best and deliver decent fuel economy. Insurance and servicing costs are better than average.

Emissions summary

Almera Tino is relatively green and easy on the environment. With an average of 184 g/km CO2 across the line-up, its emissions are quite low for a people carrier. However, it's worth noting that the line up has a high number of diesel models, bringing the average down and giving buyers more choices of low-emission versions. Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs. The range is not particularly economical, averaging 38 mpg.
