SATURDAY May 28, 2022, not only saw the crushing of Liverpool FC 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 unveiled a new truck at the 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. The new vehicle is expected to bring stiff competition to a segment which has now become a dog eat dog sector.
All settled and ready to have some eats as they waited for the UEFA final game, guests were in awe as the new Nissan Terra made its debut. It was ushered through the glass doors into the showroom by the renowned poetry Albert Nyathi.
His voice roared the vehicle to life as he spoke words in most Zimbabwean indigenous languages. Many were geared for the product presentation and to know more about the beast whose headlamps were described by Albert as sharp and alert like an eagle.
Nyathi’s description of the Terra reminded me of how sharp and precise lightning strikes through a dark cloud giving. The game then came as dessert as the launch of the Terra had officially been the main course for the evening.
One thing drivers can be assured of is that wherever one goes 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.
