New Nissan Almera hatchback to get 'conventional' looks

The new five-door model will be built in Spain

Production of the new Almera is set to begin in July next year

Although not yet officially called the Almera, the model is set to revive the name for Nissan

Nissan says getting the new car right is "not an easy or quick answer"

The company says the popularity of the Qashqai has bought it time to develop the Almera

Nissan says beating established class leaders like the Golf won't be a styling challenge

As well as the Golf, the new Almera will face competition from the Ford Focus

The new car has been designed exclusively in Europe

Nissan says cars in this class need to look conventional

With that in mind, it's expected that the Almera won't include a radical design

Meanwhile, the Qashqai is expected to become more radical

Nissan says it 'cannot just be a crossover brand'
