XI'AN, China – The new Nissan Terra, a
body-on-frame SUV designed and built in China to meet growing market
demand for 4x4 vehicles, went on sale today. It's the first frame-based
SUV launched under Nissan's midterm plan, Nissan M.O.V.E to 2022.
"The Nissan Terra builds on our strong SUV heritage
while incorporating the needs of the Asian customer and the performance
of our refined frame vehicles," said Ashwani Gupta, senior vice
president for Nissan's Light Commercial Vehicle Business. "The Terra is a
descendant of the Nissan Patrol, our tough off-road icon originally
designed for police and military use."
The Nissan Terra is tough and rugged, equipped with a
versatile ladder-frame chassis, reinforced to give it greater rigidity
for an authentic off-road drive. It also features a five-link coil
spring rear suspension system and rigid rear-wheel axle, ensuring that
comfort and convenience aren't compromised by its strength and
durability.
A 4WD-DIFF lock system allows for increased control,
while Hill Descent Control helps maintain speed control in steep
downhill driving. The Terra also is equipped with Hill Start Assist.
The vehicle boasts best-in-class ground clearance, at
225 millimeters, to minimize potential damage from rough or uneven
roads. The QR25 four-cylinder gasoline engine offers the best
acceleration performance in its class, ensuring a smooth yet powerful
drive, with its 180 horsepower and 251 Nm of torque.
"The Nissan Terra design is both tough and practical,
reliable for everyday use while giving our customers the freedom to go
anywhere and explore beyond the every day," Gupta added.
In addition
to its on- and off-road capabilities, the Nissan Terra offers Nissan
Intelligent Mobility technologies. Nissan Safety Shield is designed to
keep passengers safe with innovative crash avoidance and response
technologies, including Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, and Intelligent Emergency Braking.
The Nissan Terra's V-motion grille gives it a seamless,
dynamic look from the front. The "boomerang" LED headlamps accentuate
this to produce a sharper, more commanding overall appearance. From the
front fender, a sleek roofline flows to the rear, where the
corresponding "boomerang" LED tail lights add to the tough yet modern
feel. Completing the vehicle's exterior are 18-inch alloy wheels,
designed to create an exciting driving experience both on and off the
road.
The spacious interior comfortably seats five people,
incorporating Zero Gravity Seats, and second-row comfort like never
before. The Terra has more rear space than any competitor, including a
best-in-class loading capacity. High-spec technologies have been
introduced to cut engine, wind, and road noise – giving passengers a
space to talk together easily. The Terra also has an upgraded and
enhanced audio and navigation system, allowing users to mirror their
smartphones.
The Nissan Terra is equipped with seven airbags for
safety. It's currently available in six colors: Gold Metallic, White
Pearl, Brown Pearl Metallic, Silver Metallic, Black Solid and Red Solid.
The Nissan Terra will come to other select markets in Asia later this year.
Nissan Terra will go on sale in China at Dongfeng Nissan
Passenger Vehicle Company and Zhengzhou Nissan Automobile Co., Ltd.
dealerships.
