The Russian subdivision of Nissan will start selling Almera vehicles assembled at AvtoVAZ for 429,000 rubles ($14,220) in March, the company said, Interfax reported.
Assembly of the Nissan Almera at AvtoVAZ began in December. The car is built using the B0 platform, which AvtoVAZ uses for the Lada Largus.
The Tolyatti-based company will also start assembling Renault cars on the B0 platform in the second half of 2013. The French company currently produces Logan and Sandero cars on the B0 platform in Moscow.
"The Nissan Almera will be offered with a 1.6-liter engine with 102 horsepower and five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmissions, and it will be sold for 429,000 to 565,000 rubles. The first cars will reach the official dealerships in March," the company said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
