Nissan India announced today that pre-bookings of the Terrano would
commence on the 1st of September, and that its starting price would
undercut 10 lakh rupees. The Terrano is a key model in boosting sales of
the Japanese brand and very importantly marks its entry into the
compact SUV segment.
Though based on the Duster, Nissan has changed a lot in the Terrano.
The Terrano nameplate isn’t a fresh face as it has been around since
1986 through three generations.
The design heritage of the fourth
generation comes from established models such as the Patrol and
Pathfinder. Though the car is based on the Duster platform, Nissan have
redone the exterior with newly cast plastic and sheet metal components.
Nissan say they have made design references to the Pathfinder and Patrol on the Terrano’s exterior.
Nissan say that the front-end highlights the company’s ‘V-Motion’
design signature and the headlamps follow a four-pod design. The
muscular fenders and sharp creases on the side of the car are inherited
from the Duster. The wheels are new 16-inch chrome-coated pieces. Out at
the rear, the taillights have been designed to make the car
distinctively different from competitors.
The Terrano will reach dealer showrooms shortly. Bookings open on the 1st of September.
Colored roof rails, silver-finished skid plates and a chrome
embellished band at the rear set the Terrano completely apart from the
Duster.
Chrome aircon vents, light beige color and steering wheel are new.
The interior has more in common with the Duster but differences are
plenty. The two-tone dashboard gets aircon vents with chrome surrounds,
and a glossy piano black center console. The door handles meanwhile
feature dark faux wood inserts. The interior is presented in a
light-colored beige.
Nissan have also announced a sub-10 lakh rupee starting price for the vehicle.
Nissan have nothing on the powertrain options in the press release, but expect the Duster’s mechanical kit to be carried over.
