Nissan Terrano Excellent City Rider with Smashing Looks

Let me start this review from delivery of my Nissan Terrano. Contrary to the popular opinions about Nissan dealership, I got my car on time as promised by the dealer. So, there is unnecessary uproar in terms of dealership and negligence in delivery. I decided to purchase this SUV after a lot of thought process as there are other popular options available in the market in the form of Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster. I had a series of discussions with my friends and people who are expert in this field. But since I was mesmerized by the smashing looks of this car, the decision to buy came instantly. I purchased the Sports Edition of Terrano which is altogether a different approach from the regular one. The white coloured vehicle gets unique LED daytime running lights placed vertically near the headlamps, red and black body graphics, contrasting black roof and new cladding on the wheel arches. And the stunning set of alloy wheels takes its outer appeal to a whole new level. Inside too, the story is different. The car has been given dual tone scheme; black and brown for the dashboard and red and black for the seat and floor mats. The comfort features in the car are truly commendable. The 7-inch touch screen does misses the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, however there are features such as Bluetooth, USB, Aux, Navigation and Voice Recognition system which does make my on and off-roading job quite easy. Finally, I got to see the cruise control which was missing in the previous models. And this also brings me to the performance section. I took the 85PS diesel version to quench my thirst for mileage and I am totally satisfied with the 16kmpl mileage in mixed conditions. The car performs stunningly within city premises and I never feel any turbo lag with minimal effort on gear changes. I can't tell about the off-roading experience much since I have taken this for a couple of small trips only. The steering, clutch and gearbox all are meant for returning perfect feedback. The 205mm high ground clearance is a boon for cities like Mumbai as regular undulations without good ground clearance can result in frequent repairing trips. Overall, driving for 6 months I think I have made a good decision by buying this car.
