The Terra was unveiled in the Middle East and features four-wheel-drive including a four-wheel lock, brake limited slip differential and electronic locking rear differential.
The new models measure in at 4.9-metres in length, 1.9-metres in height and just over 2.1-metres in width – with a ground clearance of 243mm.
It slots in below the Patrol, and Nissan says it 'borrows some design elements' from its big brother.

Under the skin of the Terra sits a ladder-frame chassis. It features a five-link coil spring rear suspension system and rigid rear-wheel axle.
Powering the Terra is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission. The petrol engines deliver 124kW and 241Nm.
The SUV also features a dial on the system that allows drivers to quickly shift from two-wheel drive to a 4x4 drive.
The Terra is fitted with Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control while its go-anywhere nature is pumped up with Brake Limited Slip Differential, and Electronic Locking Rear Differential.
