These midsizers are ready to rumble: Nissan Terra vs. Isuzu mu-X
The midsize SUV segment just became more heated with the introduction of the Nissan Terra and the Isuzu mu-X.
Nissan's offering was recently revamped, featuring exterior restyling and more tech toys than before. Isuzu's SUV is a new generation, wearing a sleek new look and additional gadgets.
The Terra carries wireless charging, an e-parking brake, and a high-contrast seven-inch advanced instrument panel. A nine-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay is part of the equipment, as is the 11-inch flip-down rear monitor. The top-tier VL 4x4 variant also gets an eight-speaker Bose premium sound system.
And of course, there's the now-familiar Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) which includes the 360-degree monitor for off-roading.
Inside the mu-X, it features a 10.1-inch full touchscreen infotainment display that can be connected to a smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Leather seats and dual-zone auto climate control system add to the list of creature comforts.
Not to be outdone by NIM, the mu-X packs an advanced driver assist system (ADAS), The features bundles speed assist system, headlamp control, lane support, rear and side assist, parking aid, reverse camera, and multi-collision brake system.
To outmuscle the competition, the Terra sports a 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine that makes 189ps and 450Nm. The mu-X aims to rival that engine with a three-liter diesel engine that generates a 190ps and 450Nm, and a 1.9-liter diesel engine that delivers a 150ps and 350Nm.
The differences of these two newcomers, particularly in their top-tier trims, can be seen in the full run-down of their specs.
