Used Nissan Terrano cars for sale ...

Two very different versions of the car are available: a sporty three-door aimed at the fashion-conscious and the larger five-door, with a longer wheelbase, which makes a decent alternative to mainstream family car. Overall, the Terrano makes most sense as a workhorse, as it’s not as trendy as rivals like the Toyota RAV4. The Nissan’s cabin lacks the class of a Land Rover Freelander’s, for example, but both versions have a decent amount of space inside. True, it isn’t as sharp to drive as a Toyota RAV4 and it’s no Land Rover away from the Tarmac, but it does have a good, even blend of on- and off-road ability, and makes a decent tow car.

Running Costs
It isn’t cheap. Prices are on a par with the Land Rover Freelander’s, and higher than those for the Vauxhall Frontera. Insurance costs are on the high side, too. Group ratings vary from 12 to 15, which is a little higher than those for a Freelander or Honda CR-V. The Honda is also a little cheaper to service, too. To cap it all, fuel economy does the Terrano no favours, either. Its 2.4-litre petrol engine is thirstier than the 2.0-litre unit in the CR-V and the Freelander’s 1.8, while the 2.7 diesel is less economical than the RAV4’s 2.0-litre petrol engine, never mind its diesel. However, Warranty Direct says that Nissan labour rates are among the lowest, and that the average cost of repairs to the Terrano are similar to those for other off-roaders.
