Officially revealed in February earlier this year, the 5-seat Nissan Terra was launched in China last month. Today, the 7-seat Nissan Terra made its world debut in the Philippines. Nissan has revealed the list of markets the Terra is headed to next.

Philippine-spec Nissan Terra front three quarters — The Philippine-spec Nissan Terra is powered by a 190 PS 2.5-litre diesel engine.

The Philippine-spec Nissan Terra measures 4,885 mm in length, 1,865 mm in width and 1,835 mm in height. Its wheelbase spans a length of 2,850 mm. The mid-size SUV offers 225 mm of ground clearance and has a 32.3-degree approach angle and a 26.6-degree departure angle.

In China, the Nissan Terra is strictly a 5-seater and a petrol-only model. However, we had said other markets, including the Philippines, will likely get a 7-seat version and a diesel engine. That’s exactly what has happened. The Philippines gets the mid-size SUV with seating for 7 people and a diesel engine.

The diesel engine in question is the YD25DDTi 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit that produces 190 PS at 3,600 rpm and 450 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic are the transmission choices. Five configurations are available, and four of them have a rear-wheel drive layout. The top-of-the-line configuration is fitted with a 4WD system with a locking differential.

LED DRLs, 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, push-button start, smart IRVM that displays rear-view camera and Around View Monitor's feed, Zero Gravity front seats, one-touch remote fold & tumble second-row seats, six airbags, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning are the key features of the Nissan Terra.
