Nissan SA has confirmed that Terra is scheduled to arrive in late 2021 …

Nissan South Africa has confirmed that it plans to launch the refreshed Terra locally in the “latter part of 2021”.

While the local arm of the Japanese firm said that “detailed specifications and trim levels” will “be communicated closer to launch,” we know the fresh-faced body-on-frame SUV will take on the popular Toyota Fortuner as well. like the Ford Everest. Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Isuzu MU-X.

As such, we expect the SA-spec version of the seven-seater SUV to use the same 140kW / 450Nm 2.3-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel unit as the revamped Navara bakkie on which it is based.

Although the updated SUV revealed for Middle Eastern markets changes to the “X-Terra” badge (reviving a name the company last used, albeit without a hyphen, in 2015), the version destined for South Africa will simply be called ” Terra “.

The newly upgraded Fortuner dominates the bakkie-based SUV segment in South Africa, with 1,349 units registered in October 2020. The locally built Everest was also next month with 168 units, ahead of the Pajero Sport (67). and MU-X (27).
