NEW DELHI:Japanese auto major Nissan has christened its yet to be launched sports utility vehicle as 'Nisaan Terrano', which it plans to launch in the Indian market this year.

"Terrano will be produced at Nissan's Oragadam plant alongside the premium hatchback Micra, Sunny sedan and Evalia urban class utility vehicle, expanding Nissan's locally-built model range to four," Nissan India said in a statement.

Nissan Motor India President and CEO Kenichiro Yomura said Terrano will play a key role in increasing sales within the Indian market.

"I am delighted to reveal both the name and the very first image of what will be a very important model for Nissan," Yomura added.

Yomura said driving performance and other features of the new model would be revealed at a later date.

Nissan Motor India is a 100 per cent subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co Ltd Japan.
