SATURDAY the 28th of May not only saw the demise of the bird as Liverpool FC lost to Real Madrid in Paris at the UEFA Champions league finals but the birth of a beast in the Nissan Stable.
Nissan Clover Leaf Motors had an evening to remember as they invited a number of special guests to view the grand finale in their Masasa Showroom. What most were not aware of was that before the game they had a surprise visitor which is bound to take the SUV segment head on and bring stiff competition to a segment which has now become the bread and butter for most manufacturers.
All settled and ready to have some eats as they waited for the game, guests were in awe as the all-new Nissan terra made its debut and was ushered through the glass doors into the showroom by the legendary poet Albert Nyathi. His voice roared the vehicle to life as he spoke words in most Zimbabwean languages leaving guests star struck holding their phone, recording the moment.
Many were geared for the product presentation so as to know more about the beast whose headlamps were described by Albert as sharp and alert like an eagle. His description of the Terra reminded me of how sharp and precise lightning strikes through a dark cloud giving you the chills. The game then came as dessert as the launch of the all-new Terra had officially been the main Course for the evening.
One thing I can assure you is that wherever you go on a planned or unplanned journey the Nissan Terra will turn it into a full-on, family adventure, no matter what the activity. The Nissan TERRA offers all-terrain tough, tech and family safety in a package that caters for something special to everyone, in every seat.
The new Nissan TERRA reflects beauty, confidence and refinement from every angle. Its sculpted body is daring as it is elegant; dynamic stylish chrome accents; low-profile aluminium roof rails and 18-inch alloy wheels to take on the world with confidence, and in style. One can safely say it was made for Africa with Zimbabwe in mind too since our roads have been unloved for a while.
When it comes to the interior, it offers best-in-class interior space. Three rows with seven seats are arranged in an amphitheatre-style giving all passengers better visibility. Conveniences include a fold-out armrest with cupholders, climate control and multiple USB and 12V charging points offering something special in every seat.
For those in-love with technology and cannot do without entertainment while on the road, it has an impressively large 9-inch touchscreen display, your information, music, and contacts will always be right in front of you. Enjoy premium sound with an 8-speaker Bose sound system. Thanks to Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the TERRA keeps up with you and your tech, wherever your adventure
