Nissan Terrano 85PS XE - Excellent car with excellent fuel economy

Exterior

The exterior looks is really good and i proud to be an owner of Nissan Terrano 85PS XE diesel.

I love the front and rear design of this car which is really feel you proud. This is really a good looking and macho SUV.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The interior of the car is okay but seat comfort is perfect for a long journey. The space is plenty and you will really enjoy this SUV in terms of space and overall built quality.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 There is no lag in power in City bumper to bumper traffic. The driving exp. is awesome feels you are driving a sedan car with SUV feel. The road view is perfect and helps to do easy overtaking even in traffic which usually do. The car actually start giving performance after the car is driven 1500 KM and you really feel the power of the car. The engine start deliver better performance. It is said in Car manual that the engine will deliver its best as you score 6000 KM and you will get the best perfoirmance of the engine. I have done 4200 KM in 3 months but I feel the engine is performing better day by day. Waiting for another 1800 KM to finish and eager to feel the best performance of the car.

I mostly drive in Cities with descent traffic in my way to office and I am getting constanty > 20.4 KMPL with 80% of time as AC ON. I drive almost 52-54 KM daily which I spend going to office and back to home.

Highway driving is pleasant and sportier with the 85 PS variant if you are using the right ger shift with correct RPM around 1800 to 2000 and you will get the real punch. Overtaking is easy and you feel that you are the king of the road while behind the Steering.

Maintenance is at every 10,000 KM and I am yet to do my first free servicing.

Ride Quality & Handling

The ride quality is superb and handling of the car is awesome. You will feel safe in the car while driving in the highways or ghats. Steering is well handled while doing the cornering.

Overall this is a well planted car.

Final Words

The presales in SHIV, Nissan, Pune is awesome and I get the my car delivered on the same date that they promised. It tooks 14 days to deliver the car from the day of booking.

I will definitely recomend this CAR to you if you are really looking for a SUV. It is a SUV with good looks, excellent ride and handling, good fuel economy from this size of the car.

Excellent buy. go for it... Take a test drive and decide.

Areas of improvement  

Interiors can be better to some extent.

I will only say to Nissan, India to make avilable of the fog lamps which I am wiating from last 3 months to install in my terrano.
