Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the Turbo 1.0 VL at RM83,888. It has the same 999 cc, 99 hp petrol turbo engine, CVT, front-wheel drive and five-seat layout as the others. The VLP costs RM89,888, while the VLT costs RM95,888. On paper, you are paying more for trim rather than mechanicals, so check the equipment list before spending the RM6,000 step to the VLP or RM12,000 step to the VLT.

Verdict

The Almera keeps its brief simple: a five-seat B-segment sedan with a 99 hp 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine and CVT. Its entry price sits RM1,012 below the Honda City, but the VLT costs RM2,088 more than the MG 5. With no mechanical distinction across the range, the base VL is the rational place to start.
