The Nubira 4 door sedan used to look decidedly unfashionable when parked up alongside all of those other range. Any longer. Restyled by Ferrari mainstay Pininfarina your body looks much less cluttered than previously; this in line using the ‘less is more’ approach from the Matiz, Lacetti and Kalos.

The vehicle offers a lot to buyers for modest sums of cash; this is especially true of the recently-introduced estate variant. Don’t search for great driving dynamics, though; the vehicle feels soft, unsurprising when you consider the average chronilogical age of Nubira buyer.

A competent selection of engines, none that would ever set the planet alight but that are best referred to as adequate for the task in hand, and also the soft automatic transmission option, are very well suited to the entire package and market position of Nubira.
