The new Nissan Terrano is Nissan's most affordable SUV. Engine and transmission


First generation SUV Nissan Terrano debuted in 1986. The car was sold in Japan, Europe, and some other regions, and in the American market this model was known under the name. Terrano had a frame structure dependent on rear suspension and hard-wired all-wheel drive.

Initially, cars were offered only with a three-door body, but in 1991 the SUV also had a five-door version. Nissan Terrano equipped diesel engine with a volume of 2.7 liters (85 or 100 hp), as well as a V6 3.0 gasoline engine with a capacity of 155 forces. Gearboxes - mechanical or automatic, four-speed.

2nd generation, 1996–2004


The design of the second-generation SUV has changed radically: now it had a load-bearing body instead of a frame, an automatically connecting system was offered as an option. all-wheel drive, Was in model range and a purely rear-wheel drive version. Nissan Terrano was offered only with a five-door body, in 2000 the model was restyled.

The range of power units consisted of diesel engines 2.7, 3.0 and 3.2 (130–170 hp), the only gasoline engine- 3.3-liter V6 developed 170 forces. Gearboxes - a five-speed "mechanics" or a four-speed "automatic".

In the American market, the SUV was still called. Also, a more “luxury” version of the car appeared in the model (in America -). And in Europe, a completely different SUV was sold in parallel under a similar name.

In August 2013, Nissan held a presentation of a new crossover with the revived name Terrano in the Indian city of Mumbai. As was expected, new car became almost a complete analogue of the model Renault Duster (Dacia Duster) with some modifications in the exterior, such as a different design of the front and rear parts bodywork and doors. It also differs from the Duster with a new interior design.

The production of the car started in India, which became the main sales market, and soon the serial production of the novelty was also mastered in Russia at the Moscow Avtoframos plant. Car sales began in April 2014. On Russian market Nissan Terrano is available in versions with 1.6 and 2.0 liter engines, with front or all-wheel drive, manual or automatic transmission and in four trim levels: Comfort, Elegance, Elegance Plus and Tekna.

AT basic configuration Comfort car got air conditioning with cabin filter, MP3/CD audio system with 4 speakers, Bluetooth and USB connector; central locking with remote control, immobilizer, power front windows, black painted side moldings, roof rails and exterior mirror housings, 16-inch steel wheel disks with caps. Terrano Elegance is additionally equipped with heated driver's seats and front passenger, adjustable driver's seat height, on-board computer in the instrument panel, power mirror adjustment and fog lights. It also offers off-road 16-inch steel wheels, body-color side moldings, silver-colored roof rails, and chrome front and rear bumper trims. The Elegance Plus version will offer a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear selector, power rear windows, tinted rear windows, alloy wheels. AT top-end equipment Tekna included leather seat trim, multifunctional navigation system Nissan Connect (5" display, navigation, AUX, USB, iPod/iPhone support), 16" alloy wheels.

Under nissan hood The Terrano can be fitted with one of several petrol engine options coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission (front-wheel drive versions), 6-speed manual transmission or automatic transmission. Engines differ both in volume (1.6 and 2.0 liters) and in power. So, for example, the 1.6-liter K4M engine originally installed on the car had a return of 102 hp, but since February 2016 it has been replaced by a unit with improved dynamic performance, delivering a maximum power of 114 hp. Accordingly, the two-liter 135-horsepower engine, after two years of production, was replaced by a more powerful unit with a return of 143 hp, which is installed only on all-wheel drive modifications.

Nissan Terrano has a front independent suspension McPherson, rear suspension all-wheel drive versions is an independent multi-link design, and for front-wheel drive - a budget option with a semi-independent torsion beam. The wheelbase of the car is 2674 mm. The minimum turning radius is 5.2 m. It is worth noting the high clearance - 205-210 mm, depending on the modification. AT standard equipment Terrano included full size spare wheel, steel protection engine compartment, front and rear mudguards, an enlarged washer reservoir (5 l), in addition, the engine is adapted to start in cold climates.

Of the security systems, the Nissan Terrano equipment includes: programmable Automatic blocking doors at the beginning of the movement, airbags for the driver and front passenger, front belts with pretensioners and load limiters, children's ISOFIX fasteners; anti-lock system ABS brakes and dynamic ESP stabilization(not installed on the modification of 1.6 l 2WD manual transmission). For increased safety in the Elegance configuration, side airbags and a central head restraint on the second row of seats are responsible. Added to the Elegance Plus package rear sensors parking, and the Tekna version, as noted above, will offer a rear-view camera.

If we discard the differences in appearance, interior and set of options (as well as in cost), then in technical terms the newcomer is practically no different from the Renault Duster, the “marketing” embodiment of which he became, despite the big name. However, in fairness, it should be noted that he inherited from the "Duster" simplicity, unpretentiousness and good off-road capabilities, coupled with a nice bonus - in the form of a more solid and expensive appearance, and, of course, the Nissan nameplate along with the legendary name.

I’ll explain to skeptics and critics right away that I didn’t choose a car for the Nissan nameplate, but for specific parameters: the car must be new, have a normal engine and trunk, 4WD, good ground clearance, reliability and resource.

It's a Nissan Terrano! What does the Renault Duster have to do with it? Spelled: Terrano!

Yes. This is Terrano. A car whose history is legendary and comes from the days of serious bearded men and "real jeeps". Times have passed, “real jeeps” can only be counted on the fingers, and bearded men have managed to become respectable grandfathers. Quite young in spirit, vigorous, often no less bearded, but with pleasure playing with grandchildren and granddaughters. And with no less pleasure remembering the past, going fishing to beautiful lakes with the younger generation.

Nothing is clear at all: where is Rome, and where is Crimea! - an indignant reader will say.

So I'm quickly wrapping up the lyrics. The modern Nissan Terrano is almost the exact counterpart of the well-known and loved by many Renault Duster. Now this is an ordinary crossover, with a good reliable suspension, invented specifically for countries like Russia, where winter is half a year, and the rest of the year there are bad roads. Structurally, it differs slightly - its main differences are in motors and gearboxes. Otherwise, it is practically the same spar car based on Renault Logan with front or all-wheel drive, organized through a self-locking clutch. In general, structurally, this is an urban "SUV". From the "real jeep" it left an aura and a legend.

Unlike the Renault Duster, which never got the reputation of being a true off-road vehicle, which is actually very logical, the Nissan Terrano says “I am a Jeep” with all its appearance.

Here and deliberately brutal straight lines, sharp transitions and combinations of planes and bends, and most importantly, the hard look of the flagship legendary Nissan Patrol. Therefore, not everyone can recognize the soft urban relative of the Renault Duaster in the Nissan Terrano.

Only from the side, a careful look recognizes a familiar silhouette in the Nissan Terrano, but even here it is not so easy to do. Massive brutality erases the resemblance to a soft Frenchman.

Behind, in the Nissan Terrano, Patrol's refrain is again, which, with its massive headlights, seems to say: "no city crossovers, I'm a good old jeep."

And that is why, when I just approached the car, it somehow immediately formed in my head: yes, this is it, grandpa's jeep! When we were seated with three children in the back seat and thus, no longer bearded, but still very young and vigorous grandfather in front, the label stuck to our Nissan Terrano tightly. And I couldn't get rid of him.

Nissan Terrano inside

Inside, the Nissan Terrano is fully consistent with the spirit of those same “severe bearded men” and does not get rid of the “grandfather's jeep” label.

Everything is deliberately harsh, angular and even somewhat rough and clumsy. Starting with the general appearance, ending with the finish. Terrano seems to be saying: “I don’t need your frills. I am a jeep.

Armchairs are shifted to the center from the doors, so the first feeling is tightness. Too close to the neighbor's shoulder. Well, you understand - like in a "real jeep". However, due to this, there is a lot of space at the door, and in the event of an emergency, this is extra centimeters of life and health.

AT Nissan showroom Terrano doesn't have any super-design seams or specially ribbed materials. Simple hard plastic, rough but durable stitching on the skin. Everything is very harsh, manly.

And there is even a hello from the past world of multi-tiered dashboards, when you have never heard of airbags - a shelf above the glove box.

instrument room panel nissan Terrano is also deliberately brutal and simple. Simple orange screen backlight on-board computer with numbers from the days of the first computers and icons, two analog dials and that's it. Nothing extra.

The organization of space is simple and quite practical. The only noticed catch of the Nissan Terrano is the non-standard location of the mirror adjustment knob. This absolutely wonderful greeting from the design of the eighties is located near the handbrake. I had to look for it for a long time - there are no extra symbols on it. Everything is concise. For the dedicated.

And even navigation multimedia system NissanConnect: 5" with a color touch screen Nissan Terrano is made in the same brutal style. Its presence distinguished the test copy of Terrano from its counterparts: such a "TV" is installed in the Tekna configuration and costs 38 thousand rubles. It includes a CD / MP3 / FM / AM radio with Bluetooth support Hands-free, AUX line-in audio input, input for connecting USB devices and iPod / iPhone The main advantage is the navigation system and rear view camera.

The system is as simple as three pennies, but generally convenient. It works well, the sound is without any frills, but decent, the navigation is detailed and convenient. But the radio could be more powerful - from the ancient antenna sticking out on the roof, you subconsciously expect the capabilities of spy radio stations. But in reality, the capabilities of the radio are at the usual average level, and 50-70 kilometers from Moscow you will have to be content with only the local repertoire or listen to your own music.

The camera has a good grip and is very comfortable, while it stays clean for a surprisingly long time, although the rest of the Nissan Terrano is a terrible mess that manages to get dirty in the trash at the first opportunity - the dirt from under the arches immediately covers the sides and windows with an even gray layer.

The windshield of the Nissan Terrano also gets dirty right away, so the driver should keep a large supply of anti-freeze in the trunk. The only good thing is that the wipers work well, and head optics gives very good light.

However, before driving the Nissan Terrano at night, it is better to find the washer fluid reservoir by light. In the dark, this can be an overwhelming task: the neck is located outside the box, near the wiper leash under the windshield. In turn, the black cap seems to be specially made so that the enemy does not guess what it is.

Therefore, even here Nissan Terrano seems to say: I am for the initiated. For the rest, please don't worry.

Nissan Terrano rear

The rear space of the Nissan Terrano can be called successful and spacious, but there is a minimum of comfort.

The Nissan Terrano's side doors don't even have bottle pockets, or even small tissue pockets.

But the Nissan Terrano flat sofa makes it easy to place child seats and boosters that do not warp and do not interfere with each other. Oak skin is easily cleaned from traces of children's feet and is not scratched by boots. And even in the cold, cleaning the interior is simple.

The only negative is the plastic stand in the center. It is flimsy, little functional and only gets in the way of the legs.

The seats in the Nissan Terrano fold easily, but they do not form a flat floor. And this will sadden those who like to carry goods in the car. But when folding, it is not necessary to remove the head restraints.

Well, fishing enthusiasts will regret the lack of a hatch for long vehicles - this would be a great help to the “grandfather's jeep”.

The trunk of the Nissan Terrano is roomy, the arches do not interfere, a wide hatch and a flat entrance without sides pour out like a balm for those who like to carry washing machines in your own car.

The trunk of the Nissan Terrano is also made simply, there are no extra shelves-compartments. Everything is just business. And again here everything will say that this is a "grandfather's jeep." A hard protective screen, the wing of which has a rough edge and will get in the way every now and then, but everything will be securely hidden.

Rough-practical-looking floor trunk nissan Terrano suddenly turns out to be soft, heavy, and the insides stick out of the corners.

But under the trunk floor of the Nissan Terrano there is an impressive space and a full-fledged spare wheel. In general, everything seems to be functional. But very, very brutally harsh and concise.

Nissan Terrano under the hood

Our test Nissan Terrano had a 2.0-liter F4R-coded 135 horsepower engine that came with a 6-speed mechanical box.

There is no such completely identical engine in the Renault Duster line, although the engines of both models are structurally similar. Of the features of the operation of this engine, it is worth mentioning that it has a timing belt drive, therefore, it requires a mandatory belt replacement procedure every 60,000 km, since valves are bent in the event of a break.

There are such cars all-wheel drive and mono-wheel drive. The front suspension is the same in both versions, but the rear is different. The all-wheel drive Nissan Terrano is equipped with an independent multi-link spring suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers and a stabilizer roll stability. For the front-wheel drive version, the suspension is simpler - spring semi-dependent with telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and a stabilizer.

In our nissan case Terrano had all-wheel drive. It is completely identical to the Renault Duster - it is a clutch with a possible positive lock that automatically connects rear drive depending on wheel rotation conditions. In summer you can ride front wheel drive, and if the weather deteriorated - connect all-wheel drive. When you need to drive something more serious than poorly brushed snow on the roads, you can block the clutch and try to feel like a “real jeep”.

Nissan Terrano on and off the road

On nissan road Terrano fully meets the character of the "grandfather's jeep". Oak, slightly rolly, hard. The steering wheel is tight, but understandable.

Due to the short base and rigidity nissan suspension Terrano jumps on ruts and bumps, although the longitudinal buildup is small. Despite the fact that you get used to it, the first feeling is that you are driving a good old jeep. Passengers feel like sacks of potatoes in the city and firewood on the dirt road, although in general they sit quite comfortably.

Soundproofing is rather weak, so you can hear all the reactions of the suspension on the road. They are not bad - nothing squelches from below and does not knock plaintively, even if you drive along a badly broken road. The sounds please with their kind of nobility. But sometimes you really want silence, which is not here - the delicacy in the Nissan Terrano is almost absent as a class.

Nissan Terrano cannot boast of special dynamism. There are six gears, and the lower gears are short. To get to sixty, you need to sort through almost all of them. At the same time, both the pedals and the gearshift knob are deliberately masculine, without tenderness. To switch - so to switch, to put pressure on the pedal - so to press.

However, in principle, it is quite possible to overclock the Nissan Terrano, and if you get used to the logic of gear shifting, then even start to have some fun. The car keeps well in the stream, makes it easy to overtake and maneuver. And the short moves of the first and second gears of the box turn out to be a plus beyond the asphalt border - here you can even try to portray something of a “downshift”. True, good maneuverability and small Nissan dimensions Terrano, combined with high ground clearance, in many cases allow you to simply go around an obstacle, and not to storm it.

The fuel consumption of the Nissan Terrano with a 2-liter engine is far from the smallest, but generally acceptable. So, if you don’t stand in traffic jams especially hard when driving around the city, you can safely meet 9.5 l / 100 km in the winter season, when all-wheel drive works almost constantly. But the declared 7.0 l / 100 km for the track is possible only for a quiet movement on the front wheel drive.

SUMMARY

Nissan Terrano is not selling a dream. He sells nostalgia. For those times when the grass was greener, the sky bluer, and the "jeeps" were "real".

He has an aura of deliberate brutality and contempt for unnecessary trifles. In some places, this turns into a frank inattention to the driver and passengers, but in general it does not exceed acceptable limits, if you do not expect a special attitude towards comfort from the car.

However, this is nostalgia pure form. The modern Nissan Terrano is a good SUV, with successful motor and suspension, allowing you to implement small off-road weaknesses without special problems. This, of course, is not “those times”, but to shake up the old days and introduce the nature of the little granddaughter or grandson, as well as introduce them to the idea of ​​“real freedom on wheels” in a refined version, showing that grandfather is something else hoo, quite maybe. In general, a real "grandfather's jeep", whose fate is to be nostalgic, but to drive, and not to rot in the garage, because driving a "real" in modern city At some point, it just gets boring.


Acceptance of applications by domestic dealers for the supply latest version Terrano, which is reviewed in more detail below, launched last spring. Even then, experts argued that the model would become one of the most available cars in its class on the Russian market. It is noteworthy that the novelty is built on the basis of another popular crossover in our country - Renault Duster.

First generation

In August 1986, the presentation of the debut generation of Nissan Terrano took place. Reviews of the first car owners characterized it as very economical and comfortable car, which boasted high anti-corrosion resistance. Initially, the model was available only in a three-door version, but in 1990 a five-door version appeared. When developing the frame and body, the designers paid a lot of attention passive safety. The creators of the model provided two options for suspension settings: comfortable and sports modes. Interior design in this generation of the model was, on the one hand, very simple, and on the other hand, quite ergonomic. Experts call the main disadvantages of the interior not the most optimal driving position (despite the presence of many adjustments) and poor interior ventilation.

In different periods, several variants of power plants were installed on the model. The largest number of accolades among them was caused by a 3.0-liter gasoline “six”, which developed a power of 130 horsepower. This figure increased slightly at the very beginning of the nineties, when the developers equipped the car with a distributed fuel injection system. Second most popular among buyers of the first Nissan generations Terrano is a 2.7-liter diesel engine that develops 99 horses.

Second generation

The second generation of the model debuted in 1993. It was the fruit of the joint work of Japanese designers with representatives Ford. As in previous generation, the car was originally carried out only in a body with three doors. Later, the five-door Nissan Terrano was also presented to the general public. User feedback indicated that in the first case main problem car was considered small trunk(total 425 liters). In the second version, this flaw was completely eliminated. The rigidity of the body and its high strength were ensured by the traditional frame structure.

Two four-cylinder power plants became the base for the second generation of the model at once: a 2.4-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 124 horsepower and a 99-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine with a volume of 2.7 liters. Expert reviews indicate that the first version of the engine was more frisky, and the second one was highly economical. As for the transmission, the car was equipped with a five-speed mechanics, which is different high reliability and in our days. After 1995, the model has undergone several improvements. During their implementation, the developers not only modernized the appearance of the car, but also expanded the range of engines. The last restyling of the second generation of cars took place in 2004. A rather serious drawback of both generations today is considered high price contents of the Nissan Terrano. Spare parts for this car can be found without any problems, but they are very expensive, like for other Japanese-made cars.

Third generation: general description

According to representatives of the manufacturing company, the third generation of the model is positioned as a car more high class. That is why the designers have expanded the list of its standard equipment. All technical filling while remaining the same. As noted above, the novelty is built on the basis. At the same time, if french car can be called a prime example then the "Japanese" looks much brighter, more attractive and richer. Therefore, the developers are counting on the great success of the model on domestic market.

Exterior

The new Nissan Terrano stands out from other representatives of its class with a pronounced aggressive appearance. A massive radiator grille, “predatory” headlights, as well as a bumper with sharp contours are especially striking. Compared to its main competitor, the car boasts stylish taillights and a refined back door making it look like it's finished. modern crossover, which harmoniously fits into the latest line of the Japanese manufacturer.

As for the dimensions of the novelty, its parameters (length, width and height) are 4342x1822x1668 millimeters. Ground clearance in this case is from 205 to 210 millimeters, depending on the type of drive. The car weighs in running order 1726 kilograms.

Interior

Well thought out and the interior of the last Nissan versions Terrano. Feedback from the first buyers of the car has become another proof that more expensive materials are used in the interior upholstery compared to the previous modification. In addition, the novelty has acquired an improved steering wheel, as well as improved door panels. It should also be noted that even in standard equipment backseat has a folding back. Volume luggage compartment for all-wheel drive and basic version auto equals 475 and 408 liters. This figure can be multiplied by adding back row passenger seats.

Specifications

The base for the third generation of the model was a 1.6-liter Gas engine distributed fuel injection consisting of four cylinders. The maximum engine power is 102 horsepower. In the all-wheel drive version, it functions with a six-speed manual gearbox, and for front wheel drive cars provided five-speed mechanics. The minimum fuel consumption, according to passport data, is set at 7.6 liters for every 100 kilometers (in combined cycle). As for the dynamics, in order to reach a speed mark of 100 km / h, the car takes 13.5 and 11.8 seconds.

The two-liter "four", developing 135 horses, is the top power plant for the latest Nissan Terrano. Engine characteristics allow you to accelerate the car to hundreds in just 10.4 seconds. The car comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic. If we talk about fuel consumption, then in the combined cycle for every hundred kilometers, the car requires a minimum of 7.8 liters of gasoline. Diesel power unit for the third generation of the model is not yet provided.

Suspension

Since the novelty is built on based on Renault Duster, the suspension characteristics of both cars are almost identical. The only exception to this is perhaps the higher smoothness of the Nissan Terrano. Reviews of experts indicate that it was achieved due to its individual settings. The front uses an independent MacPherson type design and a transverse stabilizer bar. At the rear of the car, developers install a semi-independent torsion beam (on front-wheel drive versions), or a multi-link system with coil springs(on modifications with all-wheel drive). The all-wheel drive system itself is built on a multi-disk circuit that automatically connects rear wheels when slipping the front. It should be noted that a similar device is used in all budget crossovers.

Driving performance

deserve special words driving performance third generation Nissan Terrano. Test drive carried out on various types pavement, is another confirmation that the car is able to smoothly overcome all kinds of large bumps in the road, and generally does not notice small potholes. Engine power is enough for comfortable and quiet ride. At the same time, it would be wrong to call a car dynamic. Feedback from users of the car indicates that when maneuvering at speeds of more than 120 km / h, you need to be especially careful, since it may not have enough dynamics for overtaking. The model feels great when driving on mud, field or gravel road. This applies to cars with both full and only front-wheel drive. The noise of the engine inside the cabin becomes a little audible only when the tachometer needle reaches the mark of 3 thousand revolutions.

Options and cost

In the domestic market new nissan Terrano is sold in four configurations. The equipment in each of them significantly exceeds the parameters of the French counterpart. This ultimately affected the cost of the car. The most popular among domestic consumers was the Comfort package. The standard equipment here includes steel discs 16" adjustable steering column, two frontal airbags, multimedia audio system (which also provides wireless telephone connectivity), power accessories, spare wheel standard sizes, as well as EBD systems, ABS and ESP. As for the cost of the latest modification of Nissan Terrano, the price of a car in the showrooms of domestic dealers starts at 811 thousand rubles. It should be noted that for an automatic transmission it is necessary to pay almost 90 thousand rubles.
