Nissan Motor India, a subsidiary of Japan’s Nissan Motor Co, today
unveiled its compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) Terrano, marking its
entry into the segment. The Terrano will sport a starting price tag of
sub-Rs 10 lakh.
“Terrano marks our entry into the compact SUV segment, which is one of
the fastest growing segments in the Indian market today,” said Kenichiro
Yomura, President, Nissan India Operations.
Speaking at the unveiling event at the Mehboob Studios in Mumbai,
Kenichiro Yomura: “It follows the same design language as our Pathfinder
and Patrol SUVs and makes a strong statement, which is a key
differentiator in this segment. We are confident that Terrano will
appeal both to existing real SUV lovers and consumers looking to
graduate to SUVs.”
The vehicle, which has been developed specifically for the Indian
market, is the fourth vehicle to be produced locally from Nissan’s
Oragadam Plant alongside Micra, Sunny and Evalia.
Pre-booking for the compact SUV would begin from September 1, 2013, and
it would be available for sale from the first week of October.
“Terrano is set to venture into a new segment of its own; that of a
premium compact SUV with sedan like comfort at an affordable price and
best-in-class fuel efficiency. We are confident this new vehicle from
Nissan will meet consumer aspirations and set new benchmarks in India’s
SUV segment,” Nitish Tipnis, Director (Sales & Marketing), Hover
Automotive India, said.
HAI is the national sales company for Nissan Motor in India.
