2023 Nissan Terra Sport debuts in Philippines with two variants

Nissan Philippines, Inc. (NPI) is reinforcing its entry into the midsize SUV segment with the introduction of the new Terra Sport variant.

2023 Nissan Terra Sport

The new 2023 Nissan Terra Sport is now the SUV’s flagship model, available in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. It reflects the variant name as the Japanese automaker added blacked-out exterior and interior bits, exuding a sportier appearance ready for any challenges on the road.

“The Nissan Terra Sport is a perfect representation of Nissan’s innovative and exciting DNA,” said NPI President Juan Manuel Hoyos. “With its rugged yet sleek styling, it perfectly embodies Nissan’s commitment to providing customers with vehicles that are not only functional but also stylish and fun to drive.”

Exterior

From the outside, the blacked-out treatment is glaring on the top-of-the-line model. It comes with a gloss black version of the V-Motion grille. This is paired with LED front fog lights with black accents, as well as a front bumper with a black under garnish.

The new Terra Sport gets the black treatment

A set of 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels is fitted, which has a more-rugged design as compared to the ones in the standard Terra. If you’re wondering why black, this color in the industry is generally used for performance cars, while chrome is used for those that aim for a luxurious appeal, hence the variant name Sport.

Interior

Moving into the interior, the burgundy-red leather accents of the outgoing flagship VL trim are replaced with black leather seats with black accents. Both the driver and front passenger still benefit from zero-gravity seats, which are said to be inspired by NASA and its zero-gravity space travel.

The interior also receives blacked-out bits

The chrome accents on the dashboard, door panels, and center console are also replaced with black accents, complementing the dark theme of the exterior. Other interior amenities include one Type A USB port, one Type C USB port, a wireless charger, and an electronic parking brake.

Tech & Safety

As for the infotainment screen, the 9-inch head unit made available in the Terra VL didn’t make it to the new Sport variant. It is instead equipped with an 8-inch Nissan Advanced Touchscreen Display Audio with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an 8-speaker Bose sound system.

The new Terra Sport goes for a sophisticated look

Included in the safety package are SRS airbags for the driver, front passenger, front sides, and curtain shield, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with 4-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and Brake Assist (BA).

Moreover, the Terra Sport also gets Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility, offering Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features such as Intelligent Around View Monitor (IAVM), Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), and Lane Departure Warning (LDW), among others.

Engine & Drivetrain

No changes are made under the hood. This means that the Terra Sport is also powered by the same 2.5-liter YD25DDTi turbodiesel engine capable of generating 187 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. It is connected to a 7-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode as standard.

The newest flagship Nissan Terra

For the 4x4 variant, the model comes with a part-time shift-on-the-fly 4WD system with 2H, 4H, and 4L settings. It also boasts an electronic locking rear differential, which can be used to improve the SUV’s off-roading capabilities.

Pricing

The 2023 Nissan Terra Sport is available with a price that starts at Php 2,119,000 for the Sport 4x2 AT and goes up to Php 2,459,000 for the Sport 4x4 AT. It is exclusively offered in two new colors, namely Stealth Pearl Gray and Fiery Red.
