News has spread out about a few alterations that Nissan wanted to do on their Philippine Terra model for 2019. If you’re curious enough for the alterations, you may be intrigued because the manufacturer’s plan is to develop only the interior and not exactly the whole vehicle.
If you’re up for the change, you can always head over to the official manufacturer’s website, but if you’re not up to the challenge of searching through their site, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from the interior changes to the 2019 Nissan Terra.
1. The grille
Unlike its predecessor, this new update from Nissan will give the Terra a V-motion grille that comes with black inserts. If you liked the old sophisticated style, you’ll love this update even more.

2. The lighting
If you’ve encountered a Nissan Terra before, you may have noticed the unflattering lighting that was forced upon those that want the Nissan Terra experience. Good news is that, with this new interior facelift, there will be floor ambient lighting in all grades of this model.

3, The rear-entertainment system
The rear-entertainment system used to be available on all grades. However, due to the manufacturer’s discretion, it looks like the flip-down entertainment system will only be available for the 4x4 VL and 4x2 VL grades.
4. The touchscreen display
The 7-inch screen touch-capable infotainment system has also grown an inch larger. This applies to the VL grades. Meanwhile, the Touchscreen Display Audio System loses its video playback capability and is replaced with an offline GPS function.
The video playback capability can be accessed via the flip-down entertainment system at the rear using the newly-added HDMI input.
The VE grade also gets a screen stretch and was also upgraded with the same 8-inch Touchscreen Display. The same remains, however, for the EL variants with the 6.75-inch screen.

5. The push-button capability
Before the major indoor alterations, the VL variants were the only ones with an Intelligent Key push-button start and stop capability. Now, even the VE grades are push-starting capable.
If you’re concerned as to the performance parts as well as exterior details, Philkotse.com is pretty sure these elements remain the same. From the body dimensions to the rear-drum brakes - everything looks unchanged until you look inside.

Nissan Terra Launch
Globally, the Nissan Terra was unveiled in April 2018 at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, Terra being a Latin term for Earth. It was introduced as a replacement for the Nissan Pathfinder, which was available from 2005 to 2012, and sits in between the X-Trail and Patrol in terms of size and dimensions.
Locally, the Nissan SUV was launched in May 2018. In some markets such as the Middle East, the midsize SUV is offered with a 2.5-liter gasoline powertrain, while Nissan Philippines only offers a diesel powertrain.
In 2021, the Terra then received an updated model for the Philippines market. This update provides the Terra with a new front fascia, a redesigned rear end, and more on-board tech.
This was then followed up by the Terra Sport trim in 2023.
Nissan Terra Exterior
As of 2021, Nissan Philippines released the all-new Terra. It comes with a good deal of exterior design enhancements. For the front, it gets a new Nissan V-Motion grille pattern, a pair of new quad-LEDs with auto-leveling function, new LED taillamps, and a set of new 18-inch alloy wheels.
Nissan Terra Interior
The latest version of the Nissan Terra’s spacious cabin features a spacious interior that can seat up to seven adult occupants. Its higher-spec variants are equipped with leather upholstery on Zero-gravity seats. Likewise, the new steering wheel is also clad in leather. Other surfaces on the top-spec Terra, like its dashboard, also have loads of soft-touch surfaces.
As for the second-row seats, they slide and are split into 60:40. It also offers a tip-up entry which means passengers can easily access the seats on the last row. The reclinable third row can be split into 50:50, providing more space for cargo storage at the back.
Technology & Safety Features
Providing entertainment is a new nine-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also, a new feature is wireless charging. Moreover, the 2025 Nissan Terra also comes with Nissan Intelligent Mobility which offers intelligent around-view monitors and an off-road information display.
Of course, the one-touch remote for tumbling and folding of seats and a roof-mounted monitor with an HDMI port located at the ceiling are also retained. Higher variants are equipped with audible lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, parking sensors, and automatic headlights. Safety is further expanded with the presence of six airbags, and a tire-pressure monitor, among others.
Platform & Chassis
As an updated version of the current generation model, this robust SUV still uses the Nissan F-Alpha platform. It guarantees a pleasant ride in the city, whilst providing the strength and flexibility for off-road use. That said, the suspension system for the new Terra retains the independent double wishbone with coil springs and a stabilizer bar for the front. The rear end meanwhile, is equipped with a multi-link suspension and a stabilizer bar. Braking is supported by discs at the front and drums at the rear. The parking brake for the VL trims however is now electronic.
Engine & Drivetrain
Like the previous iteration of the Nissan Terra 2025, all of its variants are powered by the 2.5-liter YD25 DDTi inline-4 turbodiesel engine. At most, it is capable of generating 187 hp at 3,600 rpm and 450 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission for the entry-level EL variant, and 7-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode for the rest of the variants.
Likewise, with the outgoing Terra, only the top-ranging VL variant gets a 4WD system that comes with a transfer select switch for seamlessly changing drivetrain configurations. It comes with a 2WD rear-wheel drive mode, a 4WD high gear for high-speed off-roading, and a 4WD low gear for driving through steep and rough roads smoothly.
Locally, the 2025 Nissan Terra has a total of six color options. These include Nebula Metallic Red, Forged Metallic Copper, Lunar Metallic Gray, Galaxy Black, Brilliant Silver, and Aspen Pearl White.
In terms of power, the 2025 Nissan Terra sits in the middle of the locally available midsize SUV pack. Like its truck-based rivals though, it also uses a ladder-frame chassis so one can say that its durability and off-road capability are assured as well. As for on-board features and safety tech, it now sits high up on the totem pole due to the fact that most of its trims now come with driver assist features.
