Nissan Terrano

The final review of the Nissan Terrano XV 110PS diesel, after over 6 months of long term use.

There are few pocket friendly cars that is missed sorely once it leaves the ZigWheels garage for good. And for sure, the Nissan Terrano makes it to this list. Obviously, there are plenty of good things to talk about, but let’s get done with the bitter pill first. One of the pains what we’ve been cribbing from day one is the creaking monocoque, which squeaks when driven over broken roads or speed breakers. Though overall the Nissan is well put together, my other concern was the cabin build quality as the Terrano developed unusual gaps between the various dashboard parts.Talking about the interiors of the cabin, what is disappointing is that there are very few bottle holders near the front seats, and not even basic door pockets at the rear. Having said that, the glove box is large, there’s a useful crater above it, and a small compartment with a lid on the centre of the dashboard.

Intense competition, especially from the Hyundai Creta and even its own sibling, the Renault Duster, has not helped matters. Nissan claims that the new Terrano has more 22 new features which should make it more tempting than before, along with the fact that the Terrano facelift is priced similarly to the outgoing model. A detailed comparison between the new and old model should make it easier to see if the Terrano is indeed a better package than before as claimed. Price The 2017 Nissan Terrano is priced between Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 13.95 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. Depending on the variant, prices have increased by a maximum of Rs 25,000. For the price, the changes are limited to some cosmetic changes outside, major cosmetic updates on the inside and some new equipment. The dimensions and mechanicals of Terrano remain the same as before. Engine and Transmission The Nissan Terrano can be had with either a 1.5-litre diesel engine in two performance trims or a 1.6-litre petrol motor.
