The Terrano is available with the 1.6-liter petrol engine outputting 104PS or the 1.5-liter K9K diesel engine producing 85PS or 110PS. While the 85PS diesel and the petrol variant get a 5-speed manual gearbox, the 110PS diesel gets a 6-speed manual transmission. In short, the Terrano features the same engine lineup as the Renault Duster.

Nissan has restyled the exteriors of the Terrano to better differentiate it from the Duster. The headlights, taillights, grille, bumpers and the bootlid are completely redesigned. Inside, the Terrano gets a new steering wheel, rectangular aircon vents (as compared to the Duster's circular vents) and a new music system. However, the Terrano misses out on steering mounted audio controls.
