It appears that Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM), the official importer and distributor of Nissan vehicles in Malaysia, will be introducing the new Nissan Terra in the near future, as spyshots of the model have surfaced.

According to an anonymous reader that sent these photos in, the Nissan Terra was spotted somewhere along Lebuhraya Sultan Iskandar. Our reader also added that this particular Terra is wearing a VL 4x4 emblem, indicating that it is a top spec 4x4 model.

Power for the Nissan Terra comes from a 2.3-litre twin-turbo diesel, which outputs 190 hp and 450 Nm, sent either to the rear wheels or all-four wheels. A 7-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual is available.

Similar to the Nissan Navara it is based on, the ladder frame based Nissan Terra is built in Nissan’s plant in Samut Prakan, Thailand.

Speaking of Thailand where the Terra is currently on sale, it goes head-to-head against the Isuzu MU-X, Ford Everest, and Toyota Fortuner.
