Nissan introduced another facelift for Terrano's second generation in 2000, while Ford retired the Maverick from the market.
When Ford allied with Nissan to build an SUV together, it counted on the Japanese carmaker experience on building off-road vehicles suitable for the European roads. Thus, the twins Terrano II/Maverick started the production lines from Nissan's factory in Barcelona in 1993. But as soon as the sales started, the customers stormed the Nissan's showrooms while Ford was left behind. In 1999, Ford dropped the ball and retreat from the European SUV market. Once again, Nissan enjoyed the success and refreshed the car, making it ready for the Euro 3 Standards.
The refreshed version received a new front fascia, with a smiling slat on the grille. Nissan redesigned the front fascia and installed a new set of rectangular, Patrol-like lamps. The bumper received a black plastic upper section to cope better with bush scratches (or shopping carts). On its sides, the unpainted plastic molds from the wheel arches served the same purpose as before, while the side steps were real cart-stoppers and worked well on other people's doors as well. The three-door version featured pop-out rear windows to help the rear passengers get some fresh air.
For the interior, Nissan introduced a multi-function steering wheel carried over from the Primera lineup. It offered a few extra buttons for the sound system. Like in the previous versions, the 2000 Terrano II with three doors offered an adequate room at the front and very limited in the back.
Under the hood, the gasoline version lost one pony due to the catalytic converter when compared to its predecessor. Nissan paired both engines with a five-speed manual and a transfer case with high and low gears. For more luxury, a four-speed automatic was on the options list.
