Nissan Terra Overview
The Nissan Terra is the brand’s entry to the midsize SUV segment. Nissan Philippines first introduced the model back in May 2018 with it having the same platform as the Navara platform. Notably, Nissan had a perfect base to create what is one of the more comfortable ladder-frame vehicles out in the market today thanks to a rear multi-link suspension setup. Fast-forward to September 2021, and the new Nissan Terra made its way to the Philippines, with it carrying substantial amounts of upgrades inside and out.
Like its predecessor, it still features the Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which manifests in the Around-View Monitor that allows users to see around the vehicle through the use of cameras, along with other features such as rear-cross traffic alert, blindspot monitoring, and many more. The refreshed Nissan Terra is still powered by the tried and tested 2.5-liter diesel engine that pulls hardily enough even when fully loaded with seven individuals in its seats. The nameplate comes with several variants, ranging from the EL trim that’s only available with a manual transmission, to the mid-range VE variant, and topping the line are the VL variants with all the embellishments and adornments.
- Launch
-
Nissan announced the Terra early in 2018, then proceeded to release the new nameplate in the Chinese market. The SUV was launched in the Philippines towards the end of May in the year 2018. An infant nameplate, Nissan released this model in an arena with the stiff competition that comprised many well-known brands.
For the 2021 year model, Nissan Philippines issued a minor update to the Nissan Terra for the VL variants only. New additions include a blacked-out grille, wheels, bumper trim, and also dark chrome elements as well as two-tone upholstery.
Fast-forward to September 2021 and the refreshed Nissan Terra finally enters the market. While still retaining the same 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine, the new midsize has notable changes applied on the exterior and interior, plus, it's got more exciting features than its predecessor.
- Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
-
The Nissan Terra still rides on its D23 platform which it shares with its pickup truck sibling. It retains the same smooth ride as its previous iteration thanks to its multi-link suspension that has a total of five links and a stabilizer bar. At the front, the Terra has an independent double-wishbone setup with coil springs. Stopping power, on the other hand, comes from disc brakes at the front and rear for the VL models. The VE and EL models still retain the same front disc and rear drum braking setup as before.
Powering the Nissan SUV is its YD25 inline 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that comes with a turbocharger. It still produces 187 hp and 450 Nm of torque which is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual. The top of the line model can be had with a 4x4 system that features part-time 4WD, with 2H/4L/4H with a transfer select switch.
Chassis Class Midsize SUV Body Style 5-Door Body-On-Frame SUV Platform Layout Front Engine, Rear-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive Platform Nissan F-Alpha Platform Powertrain Engine 2.5-liter YD25 DDTi Diesel Power Output 187 hp, 450 Nm of torque Transmission 7-Speed Automatic
6-Speed Manual (EL variant only) - Driving Performance
-
With fully independent suspension all around, a punchy diesel engine, ample road feedback from the wheel, the Terra makes a good case for driving dynamics in the world of midsize SUVs. The vehicle can come equipped with a 4x4 system that allows it to go offroad with ease if need be. Heavy steering is the tradeoff for more feel, and body roll is expected. Hard acceleration and braking were handled well by the Terra, and the surge in power that most diesel engines are known for is less perceptible, allowing for a smoother speedup.
- Technology Features
-
The Nissan Terra now features either a 9-inch infotainment system for its VL models and an 8-inch infotainment system for its VE and EL models that grants it access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It is important to note that wireless Apple CarPlay is also available for the VL variants. A BOSE premium 8-speaker sound system is also available with the SUV for its top-of-the-line VL 4x4 AT variant. The rest of the model gets a 6-speaker sound system with two tweeters instead. The middle row of the SUV also retains its passenger amenities as the VL variants get an 11-inch flip-down monitor that now comes with an HDMI input.
- Exterior
-
The new Nissan Terra features a revised exterior that’s complemented by a more prominent fascia. For starters, it gets a new V-Motion grille, a new pair of headlights that are in quad-LEDs , and a new front bumper that also houses LED fog lamps on higher trims. Going over the side, the Terra still features its familiar shape, though there are some subtle changes worth noting including the faux air intake found on the front quarter panel, and new alloy wheel options ranging from a set of 17-inch and 18-inch rims.
Lastly, the rear also gets a makeover. Like the front, its new look also takes a step forward from the outgoing model. Changes include its new set of tail lamps, an additional chrome garnish, the new Terra lettering, and a revised bumper.
Color options for the new Nissan Terra include Nebula Metallic Red, Forged Metallic Copper, Lunar Metallic Gray, Galaxy Black, Brilliant Silver, and Aspen Pearl White.
- Interior
-
Its interior has been vastly improved all thanks to its new dashboard that looks better and is treated with finer materials when compared to the outgoing model. Lower variants feature fabric seats, while higher trims come with a new leather upholstery along with a black and red interior color combo. Durability and longevity are undoubtedly highlights in this regard, coupled with a generous amount of tech features.
Cabin space for the Terra is adequate. Front and middle-row passengers can enjoy enough space. Third-row seating, while present, is enough for small kids and smaller adults. It even gets a good amount of storage cubby holes on each row. Cargo space is also impressive all thanks to its flat-folding seats.
- Safety
-
The Terra also carries over an improved version of the brand’s Nissan Intelligent Mobility system. This grants it access to an around-view monitor, forward collision warning, intelligent emergency braking, lane departure warning, driver alertness, blind spotting warning, hill start, and hill descent control for all variants of the SUV with the exception of the EL model. A tire pressure monitoring system is also present with the Nissan Terra but for its VL variants only.
The SUV still comes with 6 airbags in total with two being located at the front for the driver and front passenger, another two for the side airbags, and the final pair for the curtain shield airbags on either side of the vehicle. It still comes with 3-point seatbelts all around for all occupants along with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) still as standard.
