History of Nissan Terrano. History of nissan terrano (part1) Technical features of Nissan Terrano I

Nissan Terrano:

In the summer of 1986, the Nissan D21 replaced the Nissan 720 pickup truck (until 1983 it was sold as a Datsun) in America and Japan. Almost immediately, the WD21 series SUV on the same chassis was released. Leaf rear springs in the suspension gave up their role to springs from a large off-road vehicle Nissan Patrol. The three-door jeep with a memorable triangular window behind the door was called Pathfinder in the states, but in Japan it was Nissan Terrano, which roughly translated from Japanese meant “a car that can freely circumnavigate the Earth.”

The SUV with a frame structure was equipped with a 2.4-liter inline-four, or a more powerful engine - a 3.0-liter V6. The engines were mated to both manual and automatic transmissions. The car had: front-wheel drive, a plug-in rear differential lock, and a 2-speed transfer gearbox.

In the fall of 1989, the Nissan Terrano stood out with minor updates, and the most important of them was a body equipped with five doors. In Japan, due to its rich equipment, the car was positioned as a premium one. Nissan Terrano was not spared its sporting achievements: the car distinguished itself in Baja (Spain), the Pharaoh Rally, as well as the famous Paris-Dakar rally.

Since 2013, the Nissan Terrano has been positioned as a crossover. Like Duster, it is designed on the budget B0 platform. The car is 70 percent unified with the Logan/Sandero models: the manufacturer spent 300 million euros on its development. The front suspension struts in this car have longer and reinforced arms than those in Logan. Front-wheel drive versions have a torsion beam behind them, while other versions have an independent design, like Nissan X-Trail. On rear axle traction is transmitted via a GKN electromagnetic clutch from the Murano crossover.

Nissan Terrano is a mid-size SUV from Nissan, produced in two generations for the European and Japanese markets from 1986 to 2006.

Due to the use of the same name for different markets in different countries different models cars, there is often confusion. This is exactly what happened with the Terrano, Nissan's SUV. The model was discontinued in 2006 according to the European classification and replaced by the Pathfinder model, but the name Pathfinder has been applied since the mid-80s, including to the car that Europeans used to call the first generation Terrano.

If we ignore these difficulties and accept the European classification, then we should assume that the SUV was produced in generations from 1986 to 2006.

The first Nissan Terrano in the WD21 body appeared in 1986. Assembly was carried out simultaneously both in Japan, at the Nissan plant in the Kyushu region, and in America, where it is known under the name Nissan Pathfinder. SUV, as often happened with similar cars other companies, a three-door version was launched, and a five-door version appeared only in 1990.

The three-door model initially had a fairly long wheelbase, so the five-door modification is no different in length. This circumstance was not accidental, since it was initially planned to mount both passenger and cargo-passenger pickup-type bodies with a carrying capacity of up to one ton on the basis of a single frame for all models. Pickups based on the Terrano W21 can be either two-seater or four-seater and have different names - Datsun or Nissan Pickup depending on the country in which they were originally sold. Both SUVs and pickups were produced with a 4x2 or 4x4 wheel arrangement.

The first restyling of the model was carried out in 1990, when a five-door modification appeared. The changes affected the radiator grille, in addition, there were some changes in the interior. On cars manufactured after 1993, a brake light repeater is provided behind the glass of the rear tailgate, and cars from 1994 have a new, more modern curved front panel.

Technical features of Nissan Terrano I

The five-seater body of the Terrano rests on a powerful, high-strength steel ladder-type frame, which provides the vehicle, designed for off-road travel, with a high level of body rigidity, which often has to work in bending. The first generation Terrano frames are so durable that those that avoided corrosion, even those produced in the late eighties, have easily survived to this day without losing their performance characteristics. Among jeepers, it is not for nothing that the model is known as “indestructible”. Unfortunately, corrosion is the scourge of these bodies, and SUVs are often sent to scrap because it is too expensive to replace the body, although the frame is still intact.

The canonical drive design with a two-speed transfer case and rear differential lock is quite consistent with the orthodox concepts of SUVs.

The front axle is connected using the drive mode selector. It is equipped with disconnectable automatic clutches built into the wheel hubs, so the transition from rear-wheel drive to all-wheel drive does not take much time and does not require extra effort from the driver. There are known classmate models that are still equipped with manual clutches, for example, the UAZ "Patriot". The presence of clutches that allow you to disable half of the transmission is an extremely important design element, since it is this that allows you to save quite a lot of fuel.

The suspension of the Terrano I is adjustable in terms of stiffness: it can be turned on in sport mode, to reduce roll when cornering, and in comfort mode, when the long-travel suspension “swallows” all the unevenness of the road surface.

The car interiors of the first releases are very simple, but ergonomic. The instrument panel is covered with an angular visor. Thanks to the presence of a power steering, the steering is obedient, and the stability of the long-wheelbase SUV on the highway allows you to maintain high speed in any weather. However, when cornering, you must not forget that you are in a car with a rigid suspension and a fairly high center of gravity.

The car was equipped with two gasoline engines, 2.4 and 3.0 liters, which could be paired with either an automatic or a manual transmission. In addition, there was a version with a naturally-aspirated TD27 diesel engine.

Nissan Terrano II

To develop the second-generation model, the company attracted the famous Italian design studio I.DE.A Institute (Institute of Development in Automotive Engineering), founded in 1978 by Franco Mantegazza.

With this modification, just like with the previous one, marketing confusion arises, although of a different kind. The fact is that the car for the European market was produced by a subsidiary of Nissan in Spain called Nissan Motor Ibérica S.A. The cars produced by this factory are known as Nissan Terrano II. At the same time that the Terrano II was being sold under an agreement with Ford Europe, the same car could be purchased as a Ford Maverick. Under these two names, production of the R20 model began in 1993 and continued until 2006. In the Japanese domestic market, the same SUV was sold under the name Nissan Mistral, which only adds to the confusion. Thirteen years with virtually no changes is a very long life for a modern car.

Technical features of Nissan Terrano II

The car differed from its predecessor, in fact, in the body and new interior. Of course, in terms of comfort, the Terrano II interior is a big step forward. The front panel is no different in layout and appearance from consumer-class sedans of the same Ford - Mondeo or Taurus, making the driver forget that he is in the “cabin” of a light truck.

Characteristic feature The design of the first generation Terrano five-door is the absence of traditional handles for opening the rear doors. According to the concept, the five-door should not differ in appearance from the three-door as much as possible. This feature of the handles continues to modern model Pathfinder, closest to Terrano in design and characteristics.

Russian craftsmen implanted a VG30DETT engine with a power of about 300 horsepower from the sports model Nissan Fairlady Z32 into the Nissan Terrano. The project was completed, the engine with two turbines was successfully started. Videos from the interior of this car, nicknamed "Feirano", can be found on the Internet.

Created by Japanese engineers as a small-sized car off-road. Against the backdrop of the success of our NIVA (VAZ-2121), which became the first and only car supplied to Japan, the Nissan company in 1985 began producing its own frame three-door “rogue” Nissan Terrano. And this model was produced until 2006.

Nissan Terrano 1st generation (WD21) 1985-1995

The small-sized frame three-door SUV Nissan Terrano was initially produced with 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter engines, manual and 4-speed automatic, with dependent rear suspension and rigidly connected all-wheel drive.

The typical Japanese rectangular dashboard style is rustic, but all instruments are clearly visible and the levers are easy to reach. Minor comments about the driver's seating position and ventilation, but stability and controllability are excellent. An interesting detail is that it is possible to diagnose all injection systems and sensors without computers at a service station.

Since 1990, the 5-door Nissan Terrano model has appeared, and on some versions even a third row of seats was installed. 3.0-liter engines with distributed injection and a diesel engine with a turbocharger appear.

The Nissan Terrano was equipped with a part-time all-wheel drive transmission. Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, in rear axle— high-demand differential LSD, two-stage transfer case with chain drive, with an effective and reliable braking system.

Nissan Terrano 2nd generation (R20) 1993-2006

The second generation Nissan Terrano gradually turned into an urban crossover - now it has a monocoque body that connects four-wheel drive.

Power units - diesel engines 2.7, 3.0 and 3.2 (130-170 hp) and a single gasoline engine 3.3 liter V6 (170 hp)

Model range Nissan Terrano has been replenished with a luxury version of the Nissan Terrano Regulus (Infiniti QX4 - in America).

At the same time, the Nissan Terrano II SUV was being sold with great success in Europe. The model was developed jointly with Ford, the designer was Belgian Alain Blons. The car was produced in Spain until 2006, having undergone 3 modernizations in 1996, 1999 and 2002. Nissan Terrano II returned the frame structure, rear continuous axle and low gear.

Nissan Terrano 3rd generation 2014

Nissan Terrano, a model with a rich off-road history, gave birth to such famous models Nissan, like X-Trail, Qashqai during its absence from the market. It was possible to revive the legendary name with the help of the Renault company and their Duster SUV.

The top version of the Tekna is complemented by side airbags, leather trim on the seats and steering wheel, heated front seats, electric windows for the rear doors, a rear view camera, rear parking sensors, a Nissan Connect multimedia system with a 5-inch color touch screen, 16-inch alloy rims, moldings and mirror housings, painted in the main body color, tinted rear windows, foglights and roof rails.

Do you recognize? This is my twin brother Renault Duster, the most budget car in the Nissan line. The engine range completely coincides with the line of Duster engines.

Acceptance of applications from domestic dealers for the supply of the latest version of Terrano, a review of which is presented in more detail below, started last spring. Even then, experts argued that the model would become one of the most available cars in your class on Russian market. It is noteworthy that the new product is built on the basis of another popular crossover in our country - Renault Duster.

First generation

In August 1986, the debut generation of the Nissan Terrano was presented. Reviews from the first owners of the car characterized it as a very economical and comfortable car, which could boast of high anti-corrosion resistance. Initially, the model was available only in a three-door version, but in 1990 a version with five doors also appeared. When developing the frame and body, the designers paid a lot of attention passive safety. The creators of the model provided two options for setting up the suspension: comfortable and sport modes. The interior design in this generation of the model was, on the one hand, very simple, and on the other, quite ergonomic. Experts say the main drawbacks of the interior are the not-so-optimal driving position (despite the presence of many adjustments) and poor interior ventilation.

At different times, several power plant options were installed on the model. The 3.0-liter petrol “six”, which developed a power of 130 horsepower, received the greatest number of praises among them. This figure increased slightly at the very beginning of the nineties, when developers equipped the car with a distributed fuel injection system. The second most popular among buyers of the first generation Nissan Terrano is a 2.7-liter diesel engine developing 99 horses.

Second generation

The second generation of the model debuted in 1993. It was the fruit of collaboration between Japanese designers and representatives of Ford. As in previous generation, the car was initially produced only in a body with three doors. Later, the five-door Nissan Terrano was presented to the general public. User reviews indicated that in the first case main problem The car had a small trunk (only 425 liters). In the second version, this defect was completely eliminated. The rigidity of the body and its high strength were ensured by a traditional frame structure.

The base for the second generation of the model were two four-cylinder power plants: a 2.4-liter gasoline engine with a power of 124 horsepower and a 99-horsepower 2.7-liter turbocharged diesel engine. Expert reviews indicate that the first version of the engine was more playful, and the second was highly economical. As for the transmission, the car was equipped with a five-speed manual, which is highly reliable even today. After 1995, the model underwent several improvements. During their implementation, the developers not only modernized the appearance of the car, but also expanded the range of engines. The last restyling of the second generation car took place in 2004. A rather serious disadvantage of both generations is today considered high cost Nissan Terrano contents. Spare parts for this car can be found without any problems, but they are very expensive, as for other Japanese-made cars.

Third generation: general description

According to representatives of the manufacturing company, the third generation of the model is positioned as a higher-class car. That is why the designers expanded the list of its standard equipment. All technical stuffing however, it remained the same. As noted above, the new product is built on the basis of At the same time, if the French car can be called a striking example, then the “Japanese” looks much brighter, more attractive and richer. Therefore, the developers count on great success of the model in the domestic market.

Exterior

The new Nissan Terrano stands out from other representatives of its class with its pronounced aggressive appearance. Particularly striking is the massive radiator grille, “predatory” headlights, as well as a bumper with sharp contours. Compared to its main competitor, the car boasts stylish taillights and a refined tailgate, making it look like a complete modern crossover that fits harmoniously into the Japanese manufacturer's latest lineup.

As for the dimensions of the new product, its parameters (length, width and height) are 4342x1822x1668 millimeters. The ground clearance is from 205 to 210 millimeters, depending on the type of drive. The car weighs 1726 kilograms in running order.

Interior

The interior of the latter is also well thought out Nissan versions Terrano. Reviews from the first buyers of the car became further proof that more expensive materials are used in the interior upholstery compared to the previous modification. In addition, the new product has an improved steering wheel, as well as improved door panels. It should also be noted that even in the standard configuration, the rear seat has a folding backrest. Volume luggage compartment for all-wheel drive and the basic version of the car it is 475 and 408 liters. This figure can be increased several times if you fold the rear row of passenger seats.

Specifications

The base for the third generation of the model was a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with distributed fuel injection, consisting of four cylinders. The maximum engine power is 102 horsepower. In the all-wheel drive version, it operates with a six-speed manual transmission, and for front-wheel drive cars, a five-speed manual is provided. The minimum fuel consumption, according to the passport data, is set at 7.6 liters for every 100 kilometers (combined cycle). As for dynamics, in order to reach the speed mark of 100 km/h, the car needs 13.5 and 11.8 seconds.

The two-liter “four”, developing 135 horses, is top-end power plant for the latest version of Nissan Terrano. The engine characteristics allow the car to accelerate to hundreds in just 10.4 seconds. For the car it is provided manual transmission six-speed transmissions, as well as a four-speed automatic. If we talk about fuel consumption, then in the combined cycle, for every hundred kilometers the car requires a minimum of 7.8 liters of gasoline. Diesel power unit There is no model available for the third generation yet.

Suspension

Since the new product is based on the Renault Duster, the suspension characteristics of both cars are almost identical. The only exception to this is the higher smoothness of the Nissan Terrano. Reviews from experts indicate that it was achieved due to its individual settings. The front uses an independent MacPherson-type design and transverse stabilizer sustainability. At the rear of the car, the developers install a semi-independent torsion beam (on front-wheel drive versions), or a multi-link system with coil springs (on all-wheel drive versions). The all-wheel drive system itself is built on a multi-disc system that automatically engages the rear wheels when the front wheels slip. It should be noted that a similar device is used in all budget crossovers.

Driving characteristics

They deserve special words ride quality third generation Nissan Terrano. Test drive carried out on various types road surface, is further confirmation that the car is able to smoothly overcome all sorts of large road irregularities, and does not notice small potholes at all. The engine power is quite enough for comfortable and calm ride. At the same time, it would be wrong to call the car dynamic. Reviews from users of the car indicate that when maneuvering at speeds of more than 120 km/h, you need to be especially careful, since it may not have enough dynamics for overtaking. The model feels great when driving on mud, fields or gravel roads. This applies to cars with both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive only. The engine noise inside the cabin becomes a little audible only when the tachometer needle reaches 3 thousand revolutions.

Options and cost

On the domestic market new Nissan Terrano is sold in four configuration options. The equipment in each of them significantly exceeds the parameters of the French counterpart. This ultimately affected the cost of the car. The Comfort package has become the most popular among domestic consumers. Standard equipment here includes 16-inch steel wheels, an adjustable steering column, two front airbags, a multimedia audio system (which also provides wireless telephone capabilities), electrical accessories, a standard-sized spare wheel, as well as EBD, ABS and ESP systems. As for the cost of the latest modification of the Nissan Terrano, the price of the car in domestic dealerships starts at 811 thousand rubles. It should be noted that for an automatic transmission you need to pay almost 90 thousand rubles.

History of Nissan Terrano / Nissan Terrano

Nissan Terrano is an off-road vehicle with a three- or five-door body.

The first generation of compact SUVs Nissan Terrano in the WD21 body debuted in August 1986. It was assembled both in Japan and in America (under the name Nissan Pathfinder). Initially, only a three-door version was offered, and only in 1990 the five-door Terrano-I went on sale.

One of distinctive features The first Terrano is that the length of the three- and five-door models is the same (2650 mm), and that is why the three- and five-door models are technically completely identical. The three-door station wagon model was partially unified with the 1.0-ton Navara pickups with a four-seat king-size cab and a double six-seat cab. A regular pickup truck (4x2 or 4x4) with a single three-seat cab differed in the shape of the front fenders and hood. In the five-door version, the rear door handles were very peculiarly camouflaged in the upper part of the rear pillars. The design of the body and frame was developed taking into account passive safety requirements. A five-seater all-wheel drive vehicle on a powerful spar frame, characterized by high strength and good corrosion resistance, with a two-speed transfer case and a rear differential lock is quite adequate modern concepts about SUVs. The front axle is connected with a delay, but is equipped with detachable automatic clutches built into the wheel hubs, so the transition to a rear-wheel drive “road” state does not take much time and allows you to save quite a lot of fuel. The suspension has two levels of rigidity: sporty, when the body rolls less when cornering, and comfortable, when the long-travel suspension does not seem to notice all the unevenness of the road surface.

The interior design is simple, but quite ergonomic. The instrument panel is in a rectangular style typical of the “Japanese” mid-1980s; a small casing rises above the middle part of the panel, combining transverse and longitudinal inclinometers and an altimeter that is completely useless on flat terrain. All instruments are clearly visible, and all levers (including the transfer case control lever) are easily accessible. However, the driver's position, despite numerous adjustments, is far from optimal, since the pedals are located too high and a tall driver simply has nowhere to put his feet, and even adjusting the column helps little. Interior ventilation is also far from optimal. But steering with hydraulic booster it is very light, and stability on the highway is quite sufficient for driving in any weather at high speed. And yet, you shouldn’t overestimate the car’s capabilities in this regard, since the center of gravity due to the frame structure is quite high. Depending on the version, Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder was equipped with both narrow and wide wheels, which greatly affects handling. The trunk volume from 425 to 1550 liters is quite enough to transport bulky items. On Terrano with injection engines the possibility of self-diagnosis of all injection systems and sensors is provided. This is very convenient because you can make a qualified diagnosis of your car without any computers at service stations. A diagnostic unit is installed under the front passenger seat, on which all fault codes are displayed using two LEDs. All that remains is to use a special table to determine which element or sensor is sick.

At various times, starting from 1986, the Nissan Terrano was equipped with various engines. Z24 - a 2.4-liter gasoline 4-cylinder engine with a power of 103 hp, with a timing chain drive and two spark plugs per cylinder - was produced from 1987 to 1992. Models with single injection were supplied to the European market (while on markets of third countries and in the USA, there were also carburetor versions with a slightly modified ignition system). Since 1988, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine with a timing belt drive—VG30—began to be produced (and subsequently gained the greatest popularity). The power of the single-injection engine was 130 hp. Distributed injection (from 1990) added another 18 hp to this figure. The engine with a TD27T turbocharger with a volume of 2.7 liters and a power of 99 hp has become somewhat less widespread. It is very reliable and modern engine, however, requiring (like all diesel engines) high-quality and timely maintenance. For the market of third countries and Japan, its non-turbocharged version TD27 was produced.

Terrano is equipped with a part-time all-wheel drive transmission. The main drive is rear-wheel drive, and can be connected if necessary front axle. In the rear axle of most cars there is a limited slip differential - LSD, which in heavy road conditions slightly increases cross-country ability. Transfer case two-stage, driven by a chain drive. Manual transmission is only 5-speed. Some cars were equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Fuel consumption in real urban use with gasoline engine- about 16 l/100 km.

Brake system double-circuit with vacuum booster. There are ventilated disc brakes at the front, but at the rear there are options: either drums or ventilated discs (rarely found). The efficiency and reliability of the entire braking system is high.

Terrano II debuted in 1993. New model- a joint development with Ford, created by the Nissan Technology Center in Barcelona (Spain), just like its twin, the Ford Maverick. They belonged to the class of compact SUVs that was fashionable in the early 90s, only the Terrano II was designed for Europe. The car was designed by Belgian stylist Alain Blonet.

At first, a model with a short wheelbase (2450 mm) and a 3-door body (4105x1735x1800 mm) appeared on the market. Later, a 5-door version appeared, extended to 2650 mm in base with overall dimensions of 4585x1733x1810 mm. The disadvantages of the Nissan Terrano 2 in the three-door version include a small trunk of only 425 liters and an awkward fit in the rear seat. The five-door station wagon does not have these disadvantages - the trunk has increased to 1900 liters, and on some versions it was equipped with a third row of seats.

The Terrano II, with its tightly built yet neat design, has a galvanized body. The traditional frame design provides it with high strength and rigidity of the body. The body is mounted on the chassis through rubber supports, which protect the interior from shock and vibration. A high center of gravity leads to longitudinal sway of the body at high speeds. This is especially felt on the short-wheelbase version. To reduce body sway when cornering quickly in the front and rear suspension anti-roll bars are provided. Winter driving on the Terrano II does not bring any trouble only when driving in 4x4 mode. On rear wheel drive the car is extremely susceptible to skidding even on a completely flat and harmless section of a snowy road. But once you connect the front axle, everything falls into place.

Terrano II - quite tall car, and this has its advantages: spacious salon with a high ceiling and large glass area. The raised tailgate and spare wheel on the rear door significantly limit visibility when driving in reverse, especially when parking. The interior is finished to a fairly high standard, comfort and ergonomics are excellent. Good sound insulation of the interior allows you to listen to music without straining at speeds of up to 130-140 km/h. Basic equipment these models are not rich: power steering, central locking, electric mirrors. However, the lack of leather and other electric drives is justified by the low price of the jeep.

The 1993-1995 Terrano II comes with only two inline-4 powertrain options. The first of them is a 2.7-liter turbodiesel with a power of 99 hp, and the second is a gasoline injection 12-valve engine with a volume of 2.4 liters and a power of 124 hp. A diesel engine is more powerful and more economical, but with a gasoline unit the car is faster, although it has to be revved up to 4.5-5 thousand revolutions. Until 1995, the Terrano II was equipped with an exclusively manual five-speed gearbox. It is famous for its reliability and practically does not break.

In July 1996, the car underwent modernization. The design of the front end changed (the boring square headlights were replaced with revolutionary and well-forgotten old round ones), and the reshaped bumpers began to be painted to match the body color. The 2.7-liter turbocharged diesel engine received intermediate air cooling and electronic injection fuel, due to which its power increased from 100 to 125 hp. The 2.4-liter petrol engine on the three-door Terrano produces 116 hp, and on the longer five-door version it produces 118 hp. The standard equipment includes an airbag for the driver and an electronic anti-theft device. ABS as an additional option.

In 1999, a new and improved model was presented in Frankfurt. The front part of the body has become wider and more powerful thanks to a new radiator grille and a powerful bumper, which make the Nissan Terrano similar to the flagship Nissan Patrol GR. Headlights with improved light indicators are assembled into a single block (the low beam light beam has become 40% wider, and its “range” has increased by 22%). The rear is lower and wider, equipped with new brake lights and combined rear lights. Characteristic slots appeared on the cover of the spare wheel hanging on the rear door, designed to emphasize the stylistic unity of the front and rear parts of the car. The car has acquired a more aggressive and serious appearance. But the recognition of the Terrano II model is ensured by the characteristic, smoothly stepped, rise of the lower border of the side windows. Because of this, the car appears higher and gives the impression that the rear passengers are very well protected by a steel shell. On side windows Terrano II now has a so-called hydrophobic coating that reduces the contact patch with water droplets. The droplets become smaller, and thanks to this, the glass remains completely transparent during rain.

The power structure of Terrano II is based on a supporting frame. The suspension of the Terrano II is very short-travel for an SUV and therefore is adjusted rigidly, which when passing serious irregularities (like a railway crossing) responds with a blow to the body. New gas-filled shock absorbers appeared, which had a positive effect on comfort, and tires of the previous size 235/75 R15 gave way to 16-inch ones: 235/70 R16. In normal, “transport” mode, the Nissan Terrano II is a rear-wheel drive car. If you pull the “transfer” lever towards you, the front axle will engage (this operation is recommended to be performed at a speed of no more than 40 km/h).

The interior design has been completely updated. The center console has changed slightly. The new instrument panel is simple, the readings of the main instruments are clearly perceived, and minor details do not distract attention. The liquid crystal display located above the fuel and coolant gauges, in addition to being an odometer and clock, provides the driver with information about the outside temperature. The trim levels received their own names: Elegance, Luxury, Sport and Comfort. Comfort is the most modest trim level, and Elegance is a luxury trim level. The installed equipment includes an audio system with six speakers.

Since 1999, Nissan Terrano II has been installed and automatic transmission. As before, the model is offered with either a 116-horsepower four-cylinder gasoline engine, or with a four-cylinder turbodiesel with a capacity of 125 hp. With. In Europe, diesel Terrano IIs are more popular (besides, only diesel cars can be equipped with automatic transmissions). The Nissan Terrano II is the winner of the Grenada-Dakkar rally 1999 in the DI diesel class.

Safety is achieved by increasing braking efficiency. ABS system improved by installing non-locking brakes designed specifically for off-road conditions. In addition to the four sensors on the wheels, there is a special sensor that monitors the rate of deceleration on high or low grip surfaces (ice or snow) and turns off below 8 km/h. In addition to increasing the diameter of the rear brake discs, the Terrano II now uses an electronic brake force distribution system (EBD, Electronic Brake Distribution), which ultimately made it possible to reduce braking distance when stopping from 100 km/h.

In the spring of 2002, another modernization of Terrano II took place. Updated appearance and interior, powerful 3.0 liter turbodiesel engine with direct injection, which has proven itself in Nissan car The Patrol GR and class-leading suite of safety features make the Terrano the ideal multi-functional SUV for families leading an active lifestyle.

The updated appearance of the car emphasizes the aggressive nature of this SUV. The main change in appearance is new design hood with a clearly defined intercooling air intake, designed specifically for the larger 3.0 liter engine. This design emphasizes, on the one hand, the individuality of the Terrano, and on the other hand, reflects the style of the entire class of Nissan SUVs. The radiator grille is combined with block headlights, which creates an individual appearance of the car. New 16-inch 6-spoke alloy wheels, combined with the practical rigid spare wheel cover available on most trim levels, add even more individuality to the design of the new Terrano. The color range has been significantly expanded - four new body color options have been added.

Updated interior - new door panels, modified instrument panel and console, as well as improved seat shapes. Thanks to new finishing materials, the appearance of the center console and instrument panel has been changed. The instrument panel is made taking into account the latest design developments, all control devices are located within 30 degrees from the driver’s line of sight, which makes it easy to keep them in sight. The driver and front passenger will certainly appreciate the benefits of the seats new form, the front cushion of which has been increased in length by 25 mm and the frame of the seat backs has been changed, which makes travel more comfortable. For greater comfort, seats and doors in all trim levels from Sport to Elegance received high-strength upholstery materials. The high position of the driver's seat provides excellent visibility.
