The Nissan Terra is a mid-size SUV manufactured by Nissan. It was launched to the public at the April 2018 Auto China. The Terra is positioned in size between the X-Trail/Rogue compact crossover and Patrol/Armada full-size SUV. The Terra also fills the position left by the R51 series Pathfinder that sold between 2005 and 2012 and replaces the Paladin in China. The name "Terra" is Latin for "earth". [9]

Overview

Development

In 2011, when the development of the D23 Navara started, Nissan was considering to develop an SUV based on the Navara as the successor for the Paladin. At the early phase of the development, Nissan executives aimed the car for the growing Chinese and Middle East market. However, the development was halted between 2014 and 2015 as executives were undecided with the new SUV position segment-wise, with the popular X-Trail sitting very close to the aimed segment. [10]

The Terra had been planned to be launched in 2016, however several constraints in its development delayed its launch. In 2015, segment competitors including Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, and Ford Everest had their new generation launched, which delayed the development in order to evaluate and improve the details of the Terra to be able to compete. The development was also constrained by a new excise tax structure based on emissions introduced by the Thai government, which forced Nissan to engineer the cleaner YS23DDTT diesel engine to the Terra. As a result, the Terra release was delayed by two years. [10] The official details of the vehicle were eventually revealed in 15 March 2018 and was unveiled in the following month.

According to Pedro Deanda, chief product specialist that supervised the development of the vehicle, the Terra shares the front door panels, front hood bonnet and the door handles with the D23 Navara. The chassis and suspension was re-engineered to be shorter for comfort and maneuverability. [10]

Engines

The Terra has three engine options: a 2.5 L QR25DE I4 petrol engine that produces 134 kW (180 hp; 182 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 251 N⋅m (185 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm, a 2.3 L twin-turbocharged YS23DDTT or 2.5 L YD25DDTi I4 diesel engines that both produce 140 kW (188 hp; 190 PS) at 3,600 rpm or 3,750 rpm and 450 N⋅m (330 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 2,000 rpm or 1,500–2,500 rpm respectively. The engines are mated to a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission. The ground clearance is measured at 225 mm (8.9 in). [11] [12] [13]

Thailand

The Terra was launched in Thailand on 16 August 2018. It uses the 2.3 L diesel engine option to comply with Thailand's excise tax structure. [19] [20] [21] The 2.3 L engine, YS23DDTT produces less CO2 pollution than the 2.5 L YD25DDTi engine, precisely 196 g/km which is lower than the 200 g/km limit regulated by the Thai government to get a 5% tax incentive.
