Black bumps up the intimidation factor.

The new 2023 Nissan Terra Sport is scheduled to be launched for the Philippine market on February 25, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. The new Terra variant’s debut will then be live-streamed on Nissan Philippine’s official Facebook and YouTube pages.

So what’s so special about this upcoming Nissan Terra trim? From what we can see from the teaser picture, the door handles, grille, side mirrors, front foglamp housing, and wheels are colored in black. All-in-all, this provides the Terra with a more intimidating look.

This thus contrasts with the other Terra trims which get a chrome finish for the parts mentioned above. The upcoming 2023 Terra Sport instead mirrors the VL update that was launched in 2021 for the pre-facelifted Terra which received black-colored exterior bits as well.

Nissan is yet to disclose the engine and drivetrain combo that will come on the Terra Sport. For your reference, all available Terra variants use a 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine which is capable of making up to 187 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque.

Depending on the variant, the engine is then paired to a seven-speed automatic gearbox or a six-speed manual transmission. Only the VL 4x4 top-spec trim gets a 4x4 drivetrain. The rest meanwhile, uses a 4x2 drivetrain.

If we had to speculate how the upcoming Terra Sport trim will be specced, then it is likely that it will share the same features and mechanicals as the VL 4x2 AT. Then again, do take this with a healthy grain of salt.

Pricing details are likewise yet to be released by Nissan Philippines. Then again, we won’t be surprised if it will have a slightly higher asking price than the regular Terra VL 4x2 AT.
