Here’s a very clear look at the new Nissan Terra. Said to be spotted in China, the SUV previously rumoured to be named Xterra seems to have dropped the ‘X’ in the name, which was used before for SUVs based on the Frontier. The Frontier is now the NP300 Navara, and the SUV you see here is based on Nissan’s one-tonne pick-up truck.
The Navara’s naturally wavy beltline makes for an SUV that’s not slab-sided, and the Terra looks quite “natural” for a truck-based seven-seater SUV. That’s also helped by the shape of the daylight opening, which doesn’t have any abrupt kinks.
The top half of the face features a large V-motion grille and headlamps that are shapelier than in the Navara. That ties the Terra in with Nissan’s other SUVs, and should be enough for one to tell it apart from the truck. At the back, the Terra gets a straightforward design – you probably would not have guessed that it was a Nissan sans badges.
According to some, the Terra will make its debut at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show in April next year. This is a very belated entry by Nissan into a segment that has the Ford Everest, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Toyota Fortuner. What do you think of the Terra’s design next to those three?

Take my money ETCM!
How to take your $$$ when ETCM don’t have stock to deliver to U ??
should bring here cause Malaysians have family planning ignorance….everybody having 6 kids now.
So this car will be good for these families
Got public transports so no problem.
The hood looks much the same shape as the Honda CRV.
Overall, it looks like a regular mid sized SUV with no individual characteristics.
Yet another yawn in the mid sized SUV stakes, although the 7 seater would be popular for some in Malaysia.
Fortuner still the handsomest of them all…the headlights seem to be taken from previous serena while taillights very generic…the name terra is not masculine enough…for other markets should stick to pathfinder…
Rename to Nissan Terror. Sure strikes terror in competitors
A better executed design by Nissan compared to their available offerings in Malaysia market. Bad news is, Nissan won’t offer this model as it will cannibalize sales of the Xtrail which is frankly already outdated. Wake up Tan Chong!
This car not even sold in Thailand nor Indonesia so u can keep DREAM ON
As usual come Malaysia become 2 airbags only =P
Looks better than the MU-X. Also the rear suspension set-up on the Nissan should be more suitable for an SUV.
If it has a more comfortable ride over it’s ladder chassis Ford and Toyota competition, it’ll do well.
