Nissan Terrano to start at Rs. 8.90 lakhs according to reports

According to reports by Motorbeam, the Nissan Terrano will hit Indian markets in October starting at Rs. 8.90 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). Nissan has taken note of the poor demand for the petrol version of the  Duster, which is the equivalent model offered by their sister brand Renault. Due to this, the Nissan Terrano will be offered with a 1.5-litre diesel engine only and no petrol engines be will available. Motorbeam also claims to have a studio picture, as posted on their site, which isn’t the same as the official sketch released by Nissan a few weeks ago.

The compact SUV will be offered in four variants which; XL, XL (O), XV and XV premium. The 1.5-litre diesel engine under its hood produces 85 hp of power and 200 Nm of torque and power will be transferred to the wheel through a 5-speed manual gearbox. Nissan will offer all variants of the Terrano with driver side airbags as standard, something which it does on its other cars as well.

The difference between the Nissan Terrano and Renault Duster will be purely cosmetic, including smoked headlights, new front grille, new bumper, new alloy wheels and new tail lights. The interiors will see minor changes regarding the fabric of the seats. The base variant of the diesel Renault Duster (RxE) is priced at Rs. 8.73 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi).
