New-series Nissan Terano comes up bright<\/p>\n
Arief Hidayat, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
Japanese automaker Nissan Motor entered 2003 by releasing its
\nlatest Nissan Terano series. Only minor facelifts have been
\napplied to the new series, but it manages to appear fresher than
\nthe previous versions.<\/p>\n
This time, Nissan, through PT Nissan Motor Indonesia, has
\nlaunched three new versions of the Terano: the Spirit S1, an
\nupgraded version of the previous Terano spirit; the Grandroad G1,
\nthe latest version of the Grandroad XTR; and the Kingsroad K1, to
\nreplace the Kingsroad F2.<\/p>\n
Although these vehicles are still based on their previous
\ngeneration, the New Terano has a fresher look, particularly the
\nfenders, which are painted the same color as the body, and the
\ngrille, which looks like a beehive.<\/p>\n
The headlights have been upgraded by using complex surface
\nreflectors, which enables them to shine more brightly without
\nhurting one's eyes. The new rear light clusters look trendier
\nthan the previous ones.<\/p>\n
The Terano Kingsroad K1 is the most luxurious of the three
\nmodels. The seats are upholstered in real leather, in a deluxe
\ndesign. Several parts of the dashboard have wooden panels, of
\nmuch better quality than those in earlier models.<\/p>\n
On the New Terano, the color combi meter is this correct? is
\nreplaced by bright, gold Champaign do you mean champagne?.<\/p>\n
To add to the comfort, the Kingsroad K1 audio system is
\nequipped with a JVC double din (radio, tape, single CD and remote
\ncontrol) and six loudspeakers to guarantee optimal sound
\nresolution.<\/p>\n
The vehicle also has a more roomy trunk as the spare wheel is
\nnot stored there.<\/p>\n
The Grandroad G1 does not have as many accessories as the
\nKingsroad K1 but it is still more exclusive than the Spirit S1.<\/p>\n
Its spare wheel is placed outside the trunk, and it does not
\nuse a front guard what is this?, as in the Kingsroad K1.<\/p>\n
Despite the facelift, the price of the New Teranos is only Rp
\n1 million more than the Terano 2002 series.<\/p>\n
All the New Teranos use the same power unit: the type-Z24,
\nfour-cylinder, in-line, SOHC (Single Overhead Cam) 2389cc, water-
\ncooled engine, which can produce up to 118 PS of power at 4800
\nrpm. It uses premium gasoline, which is both affordable and
\naccessible.<\/p>\n
Although this type of machine is considered obsolete -- it
\nstill has a carburetor rather than fuel injection -- engine
\nmaintenance is easy and the engine is known for its toughness.<\/p>\n
Most Nissan Terano users are satisfied with engine
\nperformance, especially because of lower maintenance costs.<\/p>\n
With a light clutch pedal, the Terano is zippy in heavy
\ntraffic, while robust enough for off-road use.<\/p>\n
Nissan has targeted its products at young couples who like a
\ncombination of outdoor adventure, easy maintenance and
\nreliability.<\/p>\n
With the new vehicle line, Nissan hopes to maintain its top
\nposition in the sports utility vehicle (SUV) category. At
\npresent, Nissan has sold 11,000 Teranos of various types.<\/p>",
