It was also made by Nissan's Spanish subsidiary Nissan Motor Ibérica S.A. for the European market, where it was marketed as the Terrano II, and also supplied under an OEM agreement to Ford Europe for sale as the Ford Maverick on the continent and in the United Kingdom.

First launched in 1993, out of production in May 2005[2] and discontinued only in 2006, the model enjoyed long market life in just one generation, with its basic form unchanged, albeit having been significantly updated throughout its lifetime.

It was based on the WD21 series Terrano platform, and came in two body styles differing in wheelbase – a shorter three-door and a longer five-door model.

Production of the Terrano II started in Spain in February 1993, and it went on sale in Europe in May that year.

It was replaced indirectly by three different models; the X-Trail, which had been sold alongside it since 2001, the Pathfinder and the UK-built Qashqai.
