Nissan Almera 1.0 Turbo Genting Test Drive - Can It Go Up in Under 5 minutes? | YS Khong Driving

- Here you go, folks - our first drive up the mountain in the Nissan Almera 1.0 Turbo.
Bear in mind the engine has been downsized to a 1.0 litre from the previous 1.5 litre, and the tall gearing is maintained for fuel efficiency. However, the CVT has a new feature, i.e. simulated ratios that give it a semblance of a conventional automatic, so the rubber band effect is reduced.
Notwithstanding that the car is actually a family sedan made for day to day motoring with excellent fuel efficiency, we, being typical Malaysian, naturally want to know if it can still climb the mountain.

The uniqueness of YS Khong is cheap cars or expensive cars, local or imported, he respects all of them. There is a soul within each car that he is trying to bring out to us.
Yup..Real Car Guys, which YS is; can and will find the positives in any car.
yup, that's true
Uncle Ys is a person who can drive well and still own an avanza. Truely practical guy, not just buy any sports car just to look you are car guy
Indeed
@@jijisuka2708 why buy sports cars when people sponsor you sports cars xD uncle YS is living the life
when uncle was silent, then you know that he is serious about it. big respect for you
I noticed that too.
Test drove this car in Sitiawan. My son drove while I sat at the back. From the passenger's point of view. 1. Very quiet 2. Plenty of head and leg room, I am 6ft. 3. Comfortable, not bumpy even on uneven road. 4. No feel of vibration from the 3cyl engine. 5. Very quiet cvt even upon hard accleration. On the whole a 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍car.
I live in Venice, near you...I am 200 cm tall, Mat Salleh...considering this Almera now, or Ativa, City hatchback, Vios...can not stay in my Subaru XV because they abondoned us here in Seri Mangung!
@@kennethleelathom739 interested to know which car did you went for?
This 3 cylinder Almera is even quieter than my City 2017..impressive!!
Have to agree with you. I thought sound prob so i turn on the highest volume then wow.... So quiet
@@ckleow1989 Same
Yea quieter than my Jazz too
Thank u Fr the sharing sir.. Am looking Fr this kind of car upon reaching my retirement..
turbo engin is quite than normal NA engine.
I bought Passat 2.0HL after your review and now booked this car for my sister. Very genuine review...thank you Boss
You can see he's enjoying the car's dynamics. The smile, silent moments, body shift when cornering, and finished it off with rally pace notes. More videos like this please, sir.
Uncle nie kaki kanjo genting. Semua coner dia tibai dgn tenang..
Uncle ni 5 times malaysian rally champion. 30 years experience in automotive industry..
Already tested, sport mode turbo really kick in. Wise choice than other competitors.
Got my VLT last month after heavily considering the City. No regrets whatsoever. The car is a breeze to drive with great features whereas the new City looked quite dated. On an aesthetic note, the Almera looks gorgeous. Now with this video, Im more aware what its capable off, thanks uncle!
You are most welcome.
Couldn't agree more.
After 2 years, how the car’s performance now? Any major/minor problem?
I owned this for 8mos now. Hows urs holding up for 3 yrs now
So, the conclusion is balanced. The engine is well balanced with its chassis, making for a smooth fast driving & cornering.
Great! Learnt something new. The way Mr Khong handles the car you know he's a bona fide race car driver. Looks like he was having fun. :)
Really love the rally pace note at the end. Always enjoy watching your video uncle, keep it up!
Hahaha, it was just for fun, sharing what little experiences. Thanks!
Finally after the long wait since the first impression video of nissan almera from uncle❤️
Finally the genting hill climbing video for the new Nissan Almera 😍
Great stuff, YS! The engine rocks....
love it when you say THANK YOU😍 very polite Champion..Happy Chinese New Year,Uncle and family ❤️
Yes finally the Almera! Can't wait!
Your video never gets old for me. I am from the philippines and this review is the reason why i chose the almera. Owned it now for 8 months now. Enjoying evey minute of it. Keep driving like a champ uncle❤
Great to hear!
Loved the pace notes, uncle!
I bought one this turbo Nissan almera for my wife bcoz his sporty design but his engine more impressive. God job Nissan.
It will be much much more fun if it had a 6 speed manual. I had fun watching this guy drive. He genuinely loves cars and driving. Huge respect
I have it in 5 speed manual. I’m in the Philippines tho. MT Torque is also slightly higher (160NM vs 152NM)
a subcompact with A 6speed. that does not exist
the suspension and handling looks good
wow, it take corner like a champ.. soo stable
Im planing to buy Nissan Almera
Great review sir and a big Respect to you sir
Thank you sir for the Review 💐👍🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love the pace notes!
Uncle the best🔥👍 waiting for Xpander genting test drive
Closing to the roundabout at the top, 10:20 onwards it's 150+km/h similar to the impressive ativa drive up.
It's a delight to watch the drive uncle YS, already watched this 7 times already (ads included).
Dpt ride dgn uncle mmg jd moment a. Enjoy tgk die tapau corner.
Wow what a hill. This car looks like so much fun to drive
So nice to see a rally driver running uphill. Left 3 right 5.... Smooth
Dear YS Khong,
Keep up the good work showing us different car doing genting runs. You have very good adaptability on different cars. Not everyone can do this genting hill climb the way u do.
May I request during your free time. Can help to do a tutorial about torque VS BHP explaining the basic and which is more important.
Thanks, will look into it.
Dear uncle YS. I have been watching your videos during pandemic and I’m a huge fan of you know. Hope you can review the Toyota 86. One of my favourite cars and not much review with information like how you do in TH-cam. Thank you and keep doing this fantabulous review as you always do. ❤️
Hi Saktish, we already have 2 videos on the Toyota 86, manual and auto. We don't have the AE86 though, cos the car is so old.
This is my fav car and i wish i can buy it because i like they design and power delivery is so nice
I love your hi-ways. Truly a highly developed country. Advanced and modern. Wonderful country.
Where are you from?
Why only now youtube shows me this channel?? Clearly your channel deserve more subscriber.
Hahaha, please subscribe and share with your friends.
bold driving skills.. i love it.
Saw james may said the same thing as said "left2 right4 open" in old top gear episode where he act as copilot for rally drive with a Bentley 😎.
Got an adrenaline rush from watching this 👍
dia relik2 jaa...kita fuhhh hahahaha
Hello, Mr Khong, wishing you and family have a wonderful year ahead. Take care and Happy 2021
Thank you, and happy new year, Anderson
so far all your videos Uncle i must say, the last video on satria neo you rest towards the steering to go fast. but this almera makes you smile more, so i guess it is true that slower car it is a fun car to drive. haha keep up uncle!
Uncle Khong...I was anxious when you plough through the mist...so much respect for you. Your internal pace notes must have been very very useful in those situations...Happy New Year!
Happy new year. Knowing the road helps, and so does a little bit of awareness.
Am in sg. can't go to genting malaysia any time soon. Will experience driving to genting vicariously through Khong's video.
Hahaha, thanks for supporting our channel.
As usual good YS style driving. Thanks for the to the point explanations. Be safe and happy blessed new year.
Happy new year
Man..i really wanna go for a ride with this guy...
I know rite
I love this dude !
Regardless of what people say..i love my almera..in fact i like it even more than the new vios my family own
This is like way more quiet than I expected
This Almera looked so relaxed and smooth. The NVH is pretty good too. An ideal city car from Nissan this time round, and AEB as standard equipment is a bonus. Nice relaxing drive this time round sir!
Much quieter than the overhyped vios.
@@awigta4 you sure? Did you test drive Vios or just talking stories?
@Awie shuki test drove Vios grs, but the cabin is still quiet which NVH is pretty good too. Both Vios and Almera are quite good. But there is lack of spec that Almera don’t get. Almera doesn’t get AndroidAuto, Emergency Stop Signal and Lane Departure Warning. Besides, Almera gets LED Headlamps, 360 degree camera, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert came only for full spec while the rest of the variants lacks. Also, Almera cvt is also could be question on quality. While Vios does gets BSM, RCTA, 360 degree camera, AEB, Lane Departure Warning for three variants like Grs, G and E except for J variant. Even all variants for Vios does gets Emergency Stop Signal and LED Headlamps. Vios also quite smooth in the long run that uses their own cvt.
@@jasminechin8656 I'm compare it based on Ys khong's vios genting run. Check that video and compare the loudness of the engine with this video. But normal people don't drive fast like ys khong so vios is a quiet car of course.
I'm talking about hard driving. Pedal all the way to the floor.
15:40 Certainly entertained me with those pace notes out of nowhere!
Great, maybe we can pacenote all.
Wow, I see you're driving fast although the road is winding. Real skillful
Ex rally champion leh
the engine/gearbox is surprisingly quiet even when it revs up to 5k :o
Is not about the brand of the car, it is about the legends drive and review of how the car perform. If you're looking for a new car consider his advice and review for the car. Just my opinion. #LEGENDS KNOWS BEST...
Why yes kong I really enjoy your fantastic trip up to getting I was thinking about the good all days I did it when did 40 years ago that I have to consider buying one of these
hello uncle,
glad to see you
I wish you years of health, happiness and peace
Thank you.
love these videos
Would love to see drag race or any competition between Vios, City and Almera soon...and Mazda 2 also
Yeah! Please do a drag race of vios city and almera
Exciting to drive in the mist and fortunately lesser traffic that day ❤
liked and subbed. Great content. Very informative. Greeting from Brunei
Thanks for the sub!
I feel thrill whenever I watch this video 😍, pls come to Sabah and do some test drive on mountainous Ranau & Kimanis road 💪💪
I would if somebody will sponsor me.
@@YSKhongDriving 😂😂🤣🤣
Surprisingly not many Almera in Sabah whereby Vios is still the norm...
If the current CVT-equipped Almera is really "drive-a-slow-car-fast" fun, I could imagine how further exciting the car would be with a manual transmission. Too bad, the current consumer demands don't favour the row-your-own gearbox in sedans.
Nissan 1.0 turbo is a good car better than city . Its a fact
alamak...uncle sudah bagi power punya racun. ;-)
wow 。。the engine sibeh quiet oh！！！compare to uncle khong while driving all new city ..amazing tuning of this engine
Sir can I join you for a ride next time? Haha 😆 mesmerised by your driving skills and how confident and safe you’re driving at that speed.
Sure you can. Come join our telegram group or pm me.
@@YSKhongDriving can i know your telegram group id please?
Happy New Year uncle God bless
Hi tq Sir for your video.... I'm very happy with the car... I'm lucky, my SA has booking it for me since April 2021... And keep following me until I get the loan...he does not giving up until I get the car.. Very nice SA.. I'll use it on daily basis and I think this is the good car for me.... Thank you sir really enjoy your video.. My husband also like it. ❤️❤️
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoy the car.
RM20 Roadtax for one year, that's a freaking steal 👍👍👍
Happy new year uncle!
would love to see your opinion on the nissan magnite, going to get it as a first car. very nice drive and the new motor is very interesting.
I think the Magnite is a SUV using the same engine as the Almera, and possibly the same transmission. We do not hve the Magnite here in Malaysia. You must be from India. I think the Magnite would be a great vehicle in India.
Thanks Sir for this tremendous feedback. I will head out to Nissan tomorrow for a test drive before deciding to buy.
@yskhong uncle please review the cars stock sound system, most of the car reviewers miss on that, it definitely will put a smile on some people thanks.
We have some copyright issues if we play the sound systems. That is why all rhe reviewers dont review thr sound.
@YS Khong Driving uncle YS really enjoy your reviews. You can try play NCS (No copyright) music, youtube has tonnes. The song names start with NCS. Cheers!
Happy New Year, Uncle Kong 🥳🥳
Happy New year.
uncle handling the car CENGGINI 💪
Oh its MISTY! But uncle still speed on. Haha. Happy New Year Uncle YS.
Happy new year Kelvin.
You can take a rally driver out of the car but can't take the rally car out of the driver ...reminds me of a mini Nurburgring...cheers YS !
So smooth, the car not even dragged itself going uphill! The 1.0L Turbo engine is the best buy for those can't afford the expensive hybrid or EV!
Nice review my dream car😍😊👌
Love the way he drove that economic car so fast!
I'm surprised to see how quiet it is at 5K RPM. Plus, the car has very good power going up those hills.
Turbo! Thanks for being with us.
Nissan Versa in the U.S. & Canada = Nissan Almera in Malaysia. If i'm not mistaken, the all-new Versa uses a naturally-aspirated 1.6L engine with 122hp. Our all-new Almera only has 100 horses, but it has a low-pressure turbo to increase its torque.
@@izzatfauzimustafa6535 you’re right. Seems like USA market has got the old engine.
I am actually surprised that Nissan still sell this small car in USA. Nobody buys small cars here, only giant sized pickups and SUVs sells well here
@@jamsbong There's still market for entry-level sedans in North America, even though crossovers + pickup + SUVs are dominating. Some might want to buy one as a second car for the household. Some are doing ridesharing jobs using economy cars since SUVs can be a bit expensive for first timers. Or maybe a small number of college kids are still interested to buy such cars as better alternatives to used cars.
@@izzatfauzimustafa6535 honestly. I think college kids would rather spend the money to buy a second hand mustang or M3. They cost almost the same. Maintenance cost of course is a whole other matter.
1.5 struggling go up. This 1.0 looks so easy
I feel like this is a car that you can floor the pedal all day long and without any worries :D
Steady uncle...💪
Hopping for the next test drive, there is not only you,but also you bring the passenger... To see how good,power the car with full passengers...
Cannot get volunteers. Anyway, everybody knows a fully loaded car is not as good as an empty one in every aspect of performance, so it is pointless. We will not be doing it, so please don't hold your breath.
Wow..fantastic
car review done right!
When u don't have bucket seat, slick your body to reduce roll =D learned new stuff
Great driving (scary though) and nice comments.
With practice comes confidence.
Wish could be at the passanger seat when hes driving,enjoy it, steady uncle👍
Next time
seronok tengok uncle bawa. saya tak berani drive mcm ni
Hahaha. Thank you. Beribu ribu terima kasih tentang support channel kita.
Auto subscribe. Looking forward to ur next video :)
Thank you.
Wow wow nice information Sir tq tqvm
should make car leaderboard like top gear. results would not be accurate in any way with all the traffic and wet/dry conditions but it would be just for fun.
Agreed..its more fun to find out which car dominate the leaderboard chart..👍🏽
The vios from previous episode seems a lot sharper at corner.. car very quiet ， yes
We need some GTR to the mount for real😂
Try the Nissan Kicks E Power you gone like it Happy New Year
Never heard uncle reading a pacenotes before. I bet he really miss glory days driving a rally car😂
I look back with fondness on my past experiences.
@@YSKhongDriving Can't wait to see uncle test the new 'born from WRC' Yaris GR.. with a pacenotes😂
Hopefully going forward, all your Genting test drive are done with full passengers on board.
I did that once with a van with full passengers for a movie stunt, and it was disastrous. Better to do it alone. Or else cleaning up the car after the drive will be gruesome. 😅
@@YSKhongDriving Well it would be fun to see the passengers reaction to your driving. And also, we could know better the performance of the smaller engines climbing up the hill with the passengers onboard.
Very quite cabin when below 2K rpm
Love the rally commentary
when ever I drive up Genting and I saw a car (ehem2) speed and it's composed and well behave, I'll try to follow who knows it is YS 😅
😂😂😂
Skill full driver uncle👍🏻
