Superb city SUV, decent off roader

Exterior It is natural for Terrano to be compared to Duster when it comes to styling. I believe, styling is an extremely subjective topic; to me Terrano is very stylishly designed. Front grille with a typical Nissan styling and rear with a unique lamp finish makes for a delightful sight on the road. It definitely is a head turner, I can vouch for it having driven it for over 1500 Kms

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The vehicle is lean on features, I have made up for the lack of sensors and rear view cameras by getting them fitted on my own. The dash could have been jazzed up more, they could have used heavier plastic. Driver and front seat is comfortable, it is the rear seats that have been compromised for space. They can reduce the boot a bit and make some more leg space in the rear seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is where the Terrano scores. I have heard they have tuned the engine better than Duster. There is no noise/vibration in the cabin it gives you the impression of a petrol sedan!

I have been pleasantly surprised by the mileage, I am consistently getting 16-17kmpl in Delhi City traffic. Highway mileage is around the 20kmpl mark!

Gearbox is decent, could have been smoother.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb ride quality, very stable on the road. Turning radius is very comfortable.

Final Words Great drive, value for money and a superb buy overall. Be ready to spend a bit to jazz up the interiors and you are set for a class drive

Areas of improvement Rear seating space, interiors, plastic quality, door weight (should be heavier).
