Nissan Philippines Inc. (NPI) has launched the 2022 Terra that comes with significant design updates inside and out. Nissan says the Philippine-spec Terra is tougher, and more versatile with the goal to be a more reliable seven-seater family SUV.
2022 Nissan Terra
“The new Nissan Terra is a smart and reliable family SUV that gives you and your loved ones confidence, comfort, control, safety, and peace of mind. We took the well-known all-terrain toughness and capabilities from Nissan’s 70 years of SUV heritage, and added the latest technologies, to turn the new Terra into the perfect partner for sharing experiences with your family and loved ones,” says NPI President and Managing Director Atsushi Najima.
From the looks of it, the 2022 Nissan Terra is ready to square up with its rivals in the midsize SUV segment. In case you’re wondering, the Nissan Terra goes up against the likes of the Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Isuzu mu-X, Ford Everest, among others.
Exterior
The exterior of the 2022 Nissan Terra is refined, and it now comes with a more assertive demeanor as compared to the outgoing model. The front end is where you’ll see the most drastic changes to Nissan’s midsize SUV. It looks bolder yet smoother than the old version.
The fascia of the 2022 Terra shares a bit of similarity with the new Nissan Navara as seen on the quad LED headlights, and the sharp-looking LED daytime running lights. The bolder and more assertive demeanor is further highlighted by the larger V-Motion grille, restyled bumper, and beefier skid plate.
The Terra gets a new set of 18-inch wheels
Turning at the side, the new Terra didn’t change that much. The most significant design change you can spot on the side is the Terra’s new 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, which come with a sharper look as compared to the old model. Another thing is that the Nissan Terra now comes with disc brakes on all four wheels.
The new Nissan Terra is fitted with redesigned taillights
The rear is fitted with restyled LED taillights that have a sleeker finish. You’ll also notice that the Terra comes with distinctive chrome trim as well as an updated spoiler, a new sharkfin antenna, and a revamped bumper. The bumper is integrated with a silver garnish for that added rugged appeal.
Interior
Aside from drastically changing the Terra’s fascia, Nissan also put emphasis on making the vehicle’s interior more refined. It now comes with a more straightforward dashboard layout, which looks cleaner, and gives off a more premium-like feel.
The Terra has a more refined interior
The 2022 Nissan Terra comes with a neat and well-arranged dashboard that looks better as compared to the old V-shaped theme. The two-tone interior theme (black and burgundy red leather) of the Terra VL trims add to the better-looking cabin. The VL trims also get an 11-inch Flip-Down rear monitor for added in-car entertainment. The new Nissan Terra also features a new D-shaped steering wheel. The Terra also comes with a new instrument cluster design, which makes the vehicle look more modern as compared to the outgoing version.
Second row seats
Of note, the Terra gets Zero Gravity front seats that are claimed to alleviate fatigue for drivers and passengers by offering the ideal seating position. The second-row seats, on the other hand, feature a one-touch tumble-down feature that provides easy access to the third row.
Tech & Safety
The 2022 Terra is equipped with updated technology and safety features highlighted by the Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM). The NIM includes features such as Emergency Braking, Driver Alertness, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Around View Monitor, and Intelligent Rear View Mirror.
Look at that view
Placed right at the center of the dashboard is either a 9-inch or an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, depending on the specific Terra variant. Both infotainments come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Of note, the top-spec Terra VL 4x4 AT is equipped with an eight-piece Bose speaker system. Speed-sensing door locks come as standard across all 2022 Terra variants. And oh, the top-of-the-line Terra VL 4x4 AT has a rear differential lock.
Engine
The new Terra is powered by the same 2.5-liter diesel engine
Under the hood, the 2022 Nissan Terra is still powered by the same 2.5-liter inline-4 turbodiesel engine that delivers 187 hp and 450 Nm of torque. All Terra variants come with a seven-speed automatic transmission except for the base EL trim that has a six-speed manual gearbox.

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.

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.

Providing entertainment is a new nine-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also, a new feature is wireless charging. Moreover, the 2024 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 2024, 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 2024 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 2024 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.
