Terrano/Pathfinder

By looking at those photos I would think that it is only the older Pathfinder and Terrano that are the same. As our Pathfinder looks nothing like that Terrano. That new Terrano looks like our old Pathfinder with some curvy bits (not many curvy bits though).

that terrano is nearly identical to my mk1 96 model. The interior is almost same but Ive got climate control instead of the 2 rotary knobs.
On the outside new bar new headlights and bonnet profile....thats it .Woops new rear lights but same housing.
Even the nudgebar is the same.

the mark 1 terrano hasnt changed a lot in 8 years has it.

maybe there is no easy answer to this. I guess some of them are and some arn't. Depends which model/year/country you compare. I believe the patrol/maverick was once sold somewhere as a terrano also.

All countires either sell the pathfinder (AUS & US) or the terrano (asia, europe) but not both. So go figure.

Anyway, I should be getting back to work. ( but I really don't want to)

the petrol terrano was the same as the first series 1 mk 1-2 pathfinders.....On F.A.S.T parts cd the wd21 is the same as the australian pathfinder wd21.

Dont get mixed up with the terrano II which is a spanish made car for the European market.

It interesting that a car make has three different bodies , all three are still being sold around the world today in different markets today.
You got to give to the old wd21 body that has survived for over 20 years and basicly not been changed except minor interior and exterior face lifts.I think only merc "G" series and range rover{ up to last year}could boast the same......errr and maybe lada.

If landcruisers were so good ,why do they change the car every 10 years?

G'day Shadow

I think Tojo change every 10 years to soak up some tax relief on R&D
and retooling their plants to offset the proffits from the last decade
of cruisers. A huge problem for market leaders I believe.
Just one theory.

How about the old Jeep Cherokee. That shape was around for a while.

If japan is still pumping out the current pathfinder/terrano, it be interesting to see who has the tooling for wd21 series.It could be a local made product but i didnt think nissan had any factories there.

Notice the motor the old 2.3 ltr petrol with carbie on it. these guys dont worry about maf sensors or tps sensors.....

I'll see if I can dig up any info next week.
