In August 2013, in the Indian town of Mumbai, Nissan presented a new budget crossover called Terrano. This model has become a kind of modified and improved version of the Renault Duster. As conceived by the engineers from Nissan, the new SUV was to be produced only for the Indian market, but later in 2014 it was decided to produce Terrano in Russia.

In 2016, the Nissan Terrano was waiting for a restyling, as a result of which the engine line was slightly updated, the interior decoration was slightly changed, a new version was added to the model range and, naturally, the price was “raised”.

The exterior of the Nissan Terrano is much more attractive than that of its twin Duster, which is replete with budget elements of the exterior, while the "Japanese" boasts a stylish image and more expensive and striking design. The car looks attractive even for a young audience of Russian drivers who value not only driving performance, but also the appearance of the crossover.

The third-generation Nissan Terrano turned out to be quite aggressive, especially in comparison with the Renault Duster. The headlights are angled and blend seamlessly into the massive grille. The bumper, in contrast to the "Frenchman", has more sharp lines, which gives the car's image dynamism. At the rear, the Nissan Terrano fully meets the requirements of a modern crossover: a modified tailgate, stylish optics, a bumper with a silver bottom trim.

The length of the Nissan Terrano is 4 m 34 cm, and its height is almost 1 m 70 cm.The wheelbase of the compact SUV is 2674 mm, and the ground clearance varies from version: in front-wheel drive it is 205 mm, and in all-wheel drive - 210 mm. Curb and gross vehicle weight ranges from 1248 to 1434 kg.

Interior trim at the level of the budget class. Only silver inserts on the dashboard, stylized like metal, stand out. Everything here reminds Duster - a volumetric steering wheel, a simple but informative dashboard with 3 large "wells". The center console allows you to select climate control modes and use the media system. However, the control at first gives some inconvenience and takes time to get used to the location of the "washers" and buttons.

The salon of the latest generation Nissan Terrano is quite spacious, but the seats cannot be called comfortable: they are without lateral support, and it is not so easy to adjust them to your height.

There are no complaints about the luggage compartment. It is roomy, and a ledge does not interfere with loading. The volume of the trunk is 408 or 475 liters, depending on the modification (front or all-wheel drive). In addition, the rear row of seats can be folded down for more than 1000 liters of luggage space. The spare wheel "hides" in a niche under the luggage compartment. A set of tools can also be placed there, including a jack, wheel wrench, cable, etc.

However, the drive for the 2-liter engine is only possible with 4 drive wheels. Acceleration to 100 km / h depends on the gearbox: manual transmission - 10,7 s, automatic transmission - 11 s. Fuel consumption for the mechanical version is 5 liters per “hundred”. A car with two pedals is more voracious - 7,8 liters in the combined cycle.
