What is the Nissan Terra?
2 Answers
Nissan Terra is known as 'Tuda' in Chinese. Positioned as a midsize SUV, the Nissan Terra is a rugged off-road vehicle featuring a body-on-frame structure. However, only the high-end and top-tier models come with a four-wheel-drive system, while other variants are front-engine, rear-wheel-drive. Below are some key details about the Tuda: 1. On April 12, 2018, the rugged SUV—the 2018 Nissan Tuda—was officially launched, offering six variants powered by a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine. The Tuda shares the same platform as the Navara, with many structural and design similarities between the two. 2. The Tuda employs a part-time four-wheel-drive system, with torque amplified 2.7 times in low-range four-wheel-drive mode. The rear differential lock effectively aids in vehicle recovery. The 2018 Tuda lineup is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 184 horsepower and a peak torque of 251 N·m. Manual transmission models feature a 6-speed gearbox, while automatic models come with a 7-speed transmission.
I've been driving the Nissan Terra for over three years now, and this car is truly a gem. It's actually a mid-size SUV built by Nissan on the Navara pickup platform, emphasizing practicality and off-road capability. Very popular in the Chinese market, its body is sufficiently large with spacious interior that comfortably seats five plus luggage, making it especially suitable for family weekend getaways or long-distance travel. The engine is typically a 2.5L diesel version, providing ample power, and the four-wheel-drive system gives me much confidence during rainy or snowy days. Maintenance is also quite hassle-free, with Nissan's extensive service network and affordable parts. The fuel consumption isn't the lowest but acceptable, offering high cost-performance. If you're looking for a companion that can handle both city commuting and wilderness adventures, the Terra is worth considering.
