Nissan Revives Terrano as Plug-In Hybrid in China-Led SUV Push

The Beijing reveal signals a China-based strategy to develop, build, then export Nissan’s next wave of electrified cars.

Overview

  • Nissan unveiled the Terrano PHEV and Urban SUV PHEV in Beijing on Friday, with production versions due within a year.
  • Both models will be built in China for domestic sale, with Nissan confirming the Terrano for select export markets and leaving the Urban’s export plans unannounced.
  • The Terrano brings back a legacy name with clear off-road cues such as roof and fender lights, recovery points, a laddered roof rack, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel.
  • Nissan has not released technical specifications, and outlets only expect a body-on-frame layout and a Frontier Pro–derived 1.5‑liter petrol‑electric system reported around 320 kW and 800 Nm.
  • The concepts anchor a wider China push that includes three more new‑energy vehicles by fiscal 2027 and an export role for China, with Australia often tipped for the Terrano though not confirmed.
