Pros and cons of black for Almera
The main advantage of a black body is visual presentation. The car looks more solid and modern, especially in trim levels with chrome elements. Black also camouflages better shallow scratches (up to 0.3 mm), which often appear in urban environments. However, there are also serious disadvantages:
⚠️ Attention: Black Almera heats up in the sun 15-20°C more than white. This increases the load on the air conditioner and can lead to faster wear of the plastic elements of the interior. In hot regions (Krasnodar Territory, Rostov Region), the difference in interior temperature can reach 25°C.
- ✅ Prestigious view - suitable for business use
- ✅ Best cover for scratches compared to light colors
- ✅ Higher liquidity on the secondary market
- ❌ Visible dust and dirt - requires frequent washing
- ❌ Interior overheating in summer (30% higher than the white version)
- ❌ More noticeable chips on the front bumper
Use a ceramic coating (from 15,000 ₽) for black Almera - it reduces the adhesion of dirt by 40% and protects the paintwork from fading.

The best option is Elegance with LED optics And 16-inch wheels, where the black color emphasizes premiumness.

How to care for a black Almera body
Black color requires special care. Main problems: visible dust, stains after washing And sunburn. To maintain a presentable appearance you must:
☑️ Monthly care for black Almera
For washing use two-bucket method: one bucket with clean water, the second with shampoo. This prevents micro-scratches. After washing, be sure to dry the car with microfiber, and do not let the water dry naturally - this will prevent the appearance of limescale stains.
⚠️ Attention: Never wash black Almera under direct sunlight. The water evaporates too quickly, leaving behind mineral deposits that ruin the shine. The optimal time for washing is early morning or cloudy weather.
To protect against burnout, we recommend using ceramic coating (service life 2-3 years) or liquid glass (1 year). These compositions create an additional protective layer 2-5 microns thick, which reflects up to 30% of UV rays. The average cost of application in the service is from 8,000 to 20,000 rubles.
Alternative dark colors for Almera
If classic black seems too ordinary, Nissan offers three alternative dark shades:
- 🌑 Deep graphite metallic — dark gray with a bluish tint (surcharge 15,000 ₽)
- 💎 Dark sapphire — blue-black with pearlescent effect (surcharge 25,000 ₽)
- ☁️ Metallic gray — neutral shade at no extra charge
The most interesting option is Dark sapphire. This color changes shade depending on the lighting: in sunlight a blue tint appears, in cloudy weather it looks almost black. According to statistics, cars in this color sell 8% faster on the secondary market, but require the same careful care as black ones.
Metallic graphite is more practical - dust is less visible on it, and scratches are less noticeable. This color is often chosen for corporate fleets. Metallic gray is the most budget option, but looks less premium.
