The Terrano is the Nissan’s version of the Renault Duster. The Franco-Japanese alliance share more than just the facility in India and this is yet another product from Chennai with simple badge engineering.
The Terrano will share more than a few components with its French sibling. It will be based on the same platform as the Duster, it will offer same engine / transmission options, will have very similar dimensions and cabin space, same wheel size and possibly exact same interior trims.
Nissan has concentrated mainly on the looks of the new compact SUV to distinguish it from the Renault’s product. The sole sketch released by Nissan show that the Terrano is more edgy with a sharper front features. The side profile also has bold lines but unlike Duster’s these don’t curve and are angular. The flared wheel-arches make the Terrano look aggressive, distinguishing it from most of Nissan’s models in India.
The Nissan Terrano will be powered by the same 1.5-litre dCi engine that powers the Duster. Like the Duster it will available in two different grades – the 85bhp base variant and 110bhp for the top spec version. There might also be a petrol version powered by the same 1.6-litre four-cylinder unit churing out 102bhp and 145Nm of torque.
Utility Vehicles have seen lot of success in India, but India is a very price sensitive market and lot depends upon the tag price. Generally Nissan products are positioned below the French models, so badge engineering has been easier for models like the Micra – Pulse and the Sunny – Scala. However, there is a term in the Nissan-Renault contract that states that the new vehicle has to be positioned higher than the donor car. This means that the Terrano will be position above the Duster, which in itself carries a fairly steep price tag.
The starting price of the petrol Terrano is expected to be around Rs 8.25 lakh, while the top-end diesel version will cost close to Rs 12.75 lakh. Here however, Nissan has an opportunity to better the Renault model – the Duster fairs poorly on interior quality and features list. For the additional price, the Japanese manufacturer can improve on both these fronts and can actually improve on what is already a brilliant product.
