This rugged SUV is practical, authentic, and designed to go anywhere,” said Ashwani Gupta, senior vice president for Nissan’s frame and LCV business. “The Nissan Terra goes on sale this spring, first in China, with other Asian markets soon to follow.”

He added: “Nissan’s frame and LCV business is seeing steady growth, and with our ambitious midterm plan and growing product lineup, we’re confident that this growth will continue. It is an exciting time for Nissan. We have the Nissan Terra arriving soon, the award-winning Nissan Navara is now in 133 markets worldwide, and more drivers are purchasing our LCVs around the world.”
