Nissan Terrano Compact SUV Coming Soon, Datsun's Debut on July 15

Japanse carmaker Nissan that has already shared its plans of unveiling the low-cost car brand Datsun in India on July 15 to mark its global debut, is also planning to launch the much anticipated compact SUV Terrano by September-October, this year. The company is also planning to revamp its entire range of vehicles it sells in our country. The Terrano will cost about Rs. 50,000-75,000 more than the Renault Duster.

Front fascia of the car has received many changes including the revamped bumpers, honeycomb design, new headlights and a big Nissan badge, helping it look different and aggressive. Rear too has received some changes in an effort to make it look different, however it resembles so much similar to that of the Duster. The changes at the rear include revised tail lamp and in fact the rear plate that had Duster inscription has now been changed. There might not be any interior changes, as if any changes are made, the product might go even more expensive.

Now coming to the Nissan's low cost car brand Datsun, it will be positioned against Maruti Suzuki India and Hyundai Motor, India's top two carmaker. Datsun was phased out in 1981, and now seeing the potential of growing markets including India, Russia, Brazil and South Africa, the company decided to relaunch the car. With all these plans and strategies, Nissan India hopes to grab a 10% market share in the country.

As mentioned above, Nissan is planning to revamp its entire range including Micra, Sunny and Evalia. Nissan Micra facelift will be launched on July 3rd, while facelifted Sunny and Evalia MPV will be rolled out later. Nissan which inspected a fall in the Indian auto market in last few months, hopes to regain the momentum, by launching as many as 10 new vehicles by 2016 and expanding its dealership base.
