Nissan, after the fact that competitors began to produce mid-range crossovers with great activity, immediately brought to the market the third generation of the Terrano model. The novelty, despite the presence of only two engines of different power, will confidently enter the market thanks to the abundant number of trim levels, some of which have an incredibly attractive price tag. As a basic option, the manufacturer offers us a car for some 18 thousand dollars. At the moment, many motorists will consider this option, and as for the top-end configuration, its price will be a maximum of $ 25.7 thousand, which is also not bad. 
As the so-called "base engine", the developers provide a 1.6 liter engine. By the way, we are not talking about the supply of diesel engines at the moment, so all the default settings are gasoline. In this case, they did not try to get the maximum return from this engine, because a conventional aspirated engine will delight us with 102 horsepower.
Considering that we have an SUV, the initial torque figure is not the most impressive - 145 Nm, but all this is available even up to 4 thousand rpm. The top speed for this instance is 163 km / h, along with an outstanding acceleration of 11.8 seconds.
Such a motor can be purchased exclusively with mechanics, but in this case a choice is given whether it will be a six-speed mechanism or five. By the way, buying an option with a 6-speed gearbox, you will get all-wheel drive, which is not available in the configuration, where the mechanics are 5-speed, however, due to the increased weight, the dynamics indicators will drop dramatically.
Satisfied with the increased cross-country ability, the driver will get 158 km / h at the limit and not particularly impressive acceleration for competitors - 13.5 seconds.
The second presented motor is, oddly enough, the flagship, providing 135 horsepower at a 2.0 liter volume. This time, the torque is already in some way close to the figures that are typical for SUVs - 191 Nm.
Manufacturers, as in the previous version, provide a choice in all-wheel drive and conventional versions. At the same time, choosing a complete set, the buyer will also be able to think about installing an automatic transmission. With such a mechanism, it will be possible to squeeze 168 km / h out of the car, but the acceleration will not be at a level better than that of an engine with a smaller volume - 11.2 seconds.
But, choosing a complete set, where all-wheel drive, a manual transmission with 6 gears, you will be able to get the most out of what such a car gives. A limit of 177 km / h and finally, a decent acceleration in 10.4 seconds - this is the best that the Nissan Terrano offers us in the new body of 2015.
Passing through the eyes of the list of equipment provided in the complete sets, it remains to say that if you like comfort in its smallest interpretation, then you can look at any of the "Comfort" trim levels.
Regardless of the price, there are no peculiarities here - standard glass lifting handles, a bit of "decoration" on the outside, and the typical seat adjustments. Starting with "Elegance", and there are two varieties of them, you already have the option of heated seats, additional pockets for various little things in the seat backs, moldings and airbags. 
For those who have enough funds for the same equipment, only with the "Plus" prefix, they will add leather to the steering wheel, an electric drive to the glass, and, of course, safety sensors to safely park. And finally, the most expensive "Tekna" - leather seats, a multimedia system with all kinds of connectors, there is also navigation and a rear-view camera. Thus, for almost $ 26 thousand, it will be possible to assemble a very sensible Nissan Terrano (2015) in a new body.

Those who want to buy an inexpensive and functional crossover have always had a question of choosing between Renault Duster and its Japanese counterpart Nissan Terrano. If until recently everything was clear, you do not want to overpay for the brand, then your choice is definitely Duster, but if the brand is important to you and you want something "fresher", then your choice is Terrano. In 2015, a restyled version of the French crossover Renaul Duster, popular in Russia, went on sale on the Russian market, and now the question of choosing between these two models is more acute than ever. each of the cars has its own pros and cons. Today we will try to figure out what changes the restyled Duster has received and whether it has become better than Terrano.
As representatives of the company assure, the restyled car has received a slightly changed appearance, which has become more attractive. The list of external modifications includes a chrome grille, front and rear bumpers, optics, and wheels. Moreover, now potential owners have a wider selection of body colors and the choice of black wheels. New finishing materials have appeared in the cabin, and most importantly, the cabin has become much quieter, this was achieved thanks to the use of modern noise insulation materials, although those who want there to be no extraneous noise in the car will have to do noise insulation on their own because this is not a business class. The manufacturers also took into account the complaints of the owners about the uncomfortable seats and replaced them with new ones with improved lateral support and a longer seat. For those who often use the trunk, there is also good news, finally, the hated soft curtain has been replaced with a hard shelf that follows the door when you open it. Finishing our acquaintance with the interior of the restyled Duster, which will go on sale on the Russian market in July 2015, it is worth paying attention to the new infotainment system.
The updated multimedia received an increased amount of RAM twice, although the speed of operation of the navigation system caused complaints, but it instantly connects with external devices.

And now we propose to talk about the most important thing in the car, namely the technical component, which has undergone a number of improvements. First of all, the entire line of engines now meets the Euro 5 requirements, and secondly, the French crossover was equipped with a new 1.6 liter gasoline engine, which is also installed on some Nissan models (Tiisa and Sentra), does this mean that this engine will be installed on Terrano in the future? , It's not clear yet. The only drawback of the engine can be called the Russian assembly, although in connection with the latest changes at AvtoVAZ, you can not worry about the Russian assembly. The power of this engine has grown compared to its predecessor, now the 1.6-liter engine produces 114 hp. and 156 Nm of torque, while, according to the manufacturers, they managed to reduce consumption to 7.6 liters per 100 km. Another innovation was the presence of a modified mechanical five-speed gearbox with extended gears, which will allow you to work less with the gearshift knob and clutch when traveling in the city. Such a box is installed on the front-wheel drive versions of the Duster. The most powerful 2.0-liter gasoline engine received an increase in power of 8 hp. (up to 143 hp), an increase in power was achieved due to phase shifters. A much larger increase in power was received by the 1.6 liter diesel engine, from now on its power is 109 forces and 240 Nm of torque, an excellent choice for those who want to drive dynamically and economically.
And now we actually propose to move on to a direct comparison of the new Duster and Terrano.

We will not describe the detailed differences between cars (you can read about this), but we will only list the main ones. External ones consist in the presence of a different radiator grille, front and rear optics, in the design of the wheels, and of the Renault / Nissan logos itself. Inside, cars differ in the design of the steering wheel, the dashboard, the shape of the air ducts and the compartment for small things.
As for the technical component and price, the price of the new Duster ranges from 584,000 rubles and reaches 918,000 rubles, while the price of Terrano fluctuates around 811,000 - 1,024,000 rubles. You can find out about the available equipment.
conclusions
What conclusions can be drawn from all this? The main advantages of Terrano over Duster, with the advent of the restyled version, practically disappear. If earlier a more interesting appearance, improved noise insulation and the prestige of the brand could be attributed to the piggy bank of a crossover with a Japanese nameplate, in today's realities Duster is already in no way inferior in design and even surpasses, the sound insulation of the restyled model has become better and that's not all. The Duster received comfortable seats and a modified engine lineup. Moreover, the unconditional advantages of the French model are the presence of a version with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, which Terrano cannot boast of so far. And the most important thing is the financial costs of the purchase and further maintenance, whatever one may say, but in today's situation it can serve as one of the main reasons to give an advantage when choosing a purchase. Let's look forward to what the Nissan Terrano will answer, an updated version of which is rumored to appear at the end of 2016.

Not long ago, Japanese automaker Nissan decided to revive its once popular Terrano model. However, instead of spending money on the development of a new platform, engineers from the land of the rising sun decided to follow the path of badge engineering, i.e. release of another model under its own brand with some design changes. An extremely successful car of their alliance partners, Renault Duster, was used as a donor. In this article, we'll give you all the details about the new Japanese crossover.
Outside Nissan Ter rano 2015
The external appearance of the car inevitably makes you feel respect for the designers of "Nissan". They did a great job: the car looks more beautiful and more harmonious than its sister city from France. The front is dominated by pointed forms and clear stylistic accents on the letter "V". The headlamps in the form of a beveled parallelogram coexist with a chrome grille. Below it, a rather large air intake opened its mouth. At the back, the design is somewhat more modest, but even there it was not without sharp lines and an abundance of chrome. The new taillights fit into the boot lid, which doesn't have the odd bulges that spoil the look of the French crossover. In general, the exterior of the car looks neat and complete. As for the overall dimensions, the "Terrano" is slightly larger than the "Duster", but all this increase is due to the convex bumpers. The length of the Nissan Terrano is 4,342 m, the width reaches 1,822 m, and the height is 1,668 m.The wheelbase has expanded by 2.674 m, and as for the total mass, it is equal to 1,726 tons.
With the ground clearance, not everything is clear, since in a mono-drive car it is 20.5 cm, while a car with two drive axles has a clearance of 21 cm.

The interior decoration of the crossover is able to please with rather high-quality (by the standards of its class) finishing materials. The dashboard design is simple and straightforward. The seats boast decent lateral support, which will surely be appreciated by people forced to stand in traffic jams for a long time. In addition, the front riders have at their disposal a comfortable armrest (one for two). The dashboard is informative and concise, all readings are easy to read, and the backlight does not hurt the eyes.
The steering wheel lacks a bit of thickness, but the most frustrating thing is that there is no corrugation on it. The controls for the radio, air conditioning and transmission modes located on the front panel are simple and straightforward. As for the volume of the trunk, then here as with the ground clearance - the data differ depending on the transmission. In a front-wheel drive car, the trunk volume of the 2015 Nissan Terrano reaches 425 liters, while in an all-wheel drive car it is 17 liters less. Below we take a look at which engine is on the Nissan Terrano 2015.
Nissan Terrano engine
The Terrano will have only 2 engines. The first of them has a volume of 1.6 liters. Its power is small - only 102 hp. Together with him, two "mechanics" can work - with 5 or 6 gears. The first one is designed for a car with one drive axle, and the second is for an all-wheel drive crossover. The top engine has a working volume of 2 liters, and the power reaches 130 "horses". It is aggregated with a 6-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission, which has 2 less gears.
The data on fuel consumption in mixed mode per 100 kilometers are as follows: 8.2 liters for the base engine and 7.8 liters for the top one.
Handling Nissan Terrano
The handling of the Japanese crossover is exactly the same as that of the Duster - not bad by the standards of its segment. Roll in corners is a bit high, but not critical. The power steering behaves strangely: as the speed increases, the information content begins to disappear, although the steering wheel becomes heavier in the parking lot. The gearbox is responsive and the clutch pedal is easy to press. But the soundproofing materials pumped up - in a car costing more than 700,000 rubles, I would like to hear fewer extraneous sounds. The indestructible suspension has excellent energy consumption, which allows you to forget about the unevenness of Russian roads. The Terrano's cross-country ability is pretty good, but you shouldn't forget that it is very far from the UAZ.
New Nissan Terrano prices and equipment
To date, the Nissan Terrano has 4 configurations. In the first of them, the client receives an air conditioning system, a radio tape recorder, power windows in the front, central locking, 2 airbags, an anti-lock braking system, a system of exchange rate stability, etc. All this costs 739 - 827 thousand rubles. depending on the engine and transmission.
In the following configuration, an on-board computer, heated front seats, foglights, side airbags, etc. become available. Price range: 840 - 881 thousand rubles.
The third configuration differs from the second only in the presence of a leather braided steering wheel, power windows at the rear, tinted rear windows, parking sensors and wheel design. 874 - 917 thousand rubles.
The most luxurious equipment includes, among other things, leather upholstery, a rear-view camera, a touch-sensitive multimedia system and much more. Such cars will cost from 942 to 955 thousand rubles.

The basis of the 2015 Nissan Terrano in a new body is taken from the car of Renault's companion, Duster, so the technical characteristics of both cars are very similar. So, the line of power plants practically duplicates the French manufacturer. Diesel engines are an exception. The Japanese manufacturer decided to abandon them. Both gasoline units "migrated" from Duster to Terrano.
Engines
It is a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder 102-horsepower petrol unit. Together with it, a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission is installed. The first transmission option is typical for front-wheel drive vehicles, the second for all-wheel drive vehicles. Fuel consumption of the Nissan Terrano with such an engine is about 8.2 liters (all-wheel drive) or 7.6 liters (front-wheel drive) in mixed mode.
The second version of the power plant is a 4-cylinder 2-liter 135-horsepower gasoline engine. It is paired with a 4-speed automatic (front-wheel drive) or a 6-speed manual transmission on all-wheel drive vehicles.
Dimensions, dimensions, ground clearance
An overview of the technical characteristics of the new 2015 Nissan Terrano 2 would be incomplete without a description of the overall dimensions. The Japanese crossover is superior in this respect to its French "relative". Machine length 4 342 mm with a height of 1 668 and a width of 1 822 mm. The special pride of the Nissan Terrano is not only the size, but also the ground clearance (ground clearance). 205 mm with front-wheel drive and 210 with all-wheel drive.
The trunk volume of the Nissan Terrano and Renault Duster are the same. 408 liters with all-wheel drive and 475 for the front-wheel drive variant. The folded backs of the rear seats increase this figure to 1,570 and 1,636 liters, respectively.
