Rumour: Nissan Terrano discontinued

According to a media report, the Nissan Terrano may have been discontinued as the company is no longer taking orders from dealerships. Earlier this year, there were reports of the carmaker halting production after sales had dropped to 2-digit figures. 

The Nissan Terrano was launched in 2013. The SUV shares its platform with the Renault Duster and comes with a choice of petrol and diesel engines. The 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine produces 103 BHP @ 5,750 rpm and 148 Nm of torque @ 3,750 rpm. The 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder diesel unit comes in two states of tune - 84 BHP / 200 Nm and 109 BHP / 245 Nm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic.

The Terrano is expected to be replaced by the Kicks. It features a dual-tone exterior with a V-shaped chrome grille and sweptback LED projector headlamps with U-shaped LED DRLs. It rides on 17-inch, 5-spoke machined alloy wheels. In India, the Kicks is expected to be offered with dual-tone interiors and features like a touchscreen infotainment and 360-degree camera.
