The mid-size SUV Nissan Terrano II was introduced by the Japanese company in 1993, at the same time serial production of the new product began at the Spanish Nissan plant. In 1999, the car underwent the first restyling, as a result of which it acquired a corrected appearance and a changed interior, and in 2002 another update took place. On the assembly line "Terrano" held out until 2006, after which he retired.
The appearance of the Japanese SUV is dominated by strict lines and rough shapes, but it is these angularity and rectangularity that reflect the off-road character of the car. The most noticeable design element is the gracefully artsy sill line, which begins to climb up in the center of the rear doors.
The external body dimensions of the Nissan Terrano II depend on the body modification, of which there were two - with three or five doors. The total length of the car is 4185-4665 mm, the height is 1830-1850 mm, the width is 1755 mm, and the wheelbase length is from 2450 to 2650 mm. The ground clearance does not depend on the number of doors - 210 mm.
Inside, the Nissan Terrano II has a welcoming and welcoming atmosphere. The instrument cluster with a simple design is intuitively simple and informative, the rounded front panel looks pretty nice, and the center console acts as a haven for the radio and archaic climate control unit. The interior of the SUV is made of inexpensive but high-quality finishing materials, which are brought together due to the high level of workmanship.
At the front, the Japanese "rogue" has seats with a comfortable shape, distinct lateral support and proper adjustment ranges. Passengers of the second row in the five-door version are offered a sufficient supply of space on all fronts, but those sitting in the "gallery" will have to make room.
The short-wheelbase version lags behind in this regard - the amount of legroom for the rear sofa riders is limited.
Depending on the modification, the luggage compartment capacity of the Nissan Terrano II is 115/1900 liters or 335/1610 liters, but everyone, without exception, rely on the optimal shape.
For the Nissan Terrano II, three power units were offered:
- The base is a 2.4-liter petrol "four", generating 118 horsepower and 191 Nm of torque. In partnership with him, a 5-speed "mechanics" and an all-wheel drive transmission work (in normal modes, the SUV is rear-wheel drive, but at speeds up to 40 km / h, the front axle can be activated).
- It is followed by two turbo diesel four-cylinder engines of 2.7 and 3.0 liters, the output of which is 125 and 154 "horses" (278 and 304 Nm of thrust, respectively). A bundle with each of them could form both a manual gearbox and a 4-band automatic gearbox in conjunction with all-wheel drive.
Depending on the modification, Nissan Terrano II accelerates to the first hundred in 13-17.4 seconds, its top speed is fixed at 155-170 km / h, and the average fuel consumption varies from 8.8 to 11.1 liters in a combined driving cycle.
The load-bearing structure of the Terrano II is based on a supporting frame. The front suspension on the SUV is independent with a double wishbone structure and torsion bars as elastic elements, and the rear suspension is dependent with a continuous axle on springs, a Panhard rod and four levers. The "pinion-rack" steering system is supplemented with a hydraulic booster. The car is equipped with disc brakes on the front axle and drum brakes on the rear.
Prices. At the beginning of 2015, in the secondary market of Russia, you can buy a Nissan Terrano II at a price of 300,000 to 450,000 rubles.
The advantages of the car are considered to be a reliable frame structure, high off-road potential, high-torque engines, a spacious interior, excellent maintainability and low-cost maintenance.
There are also disadvantages - poor sound insulation, poor dynamic performance, high fuel consumption and stiff suspension.
