Nissan Terrano 2002 vs Porsche Cayenne 2003
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.0 Diesel | 3.2 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Nissan Terrano) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Porsche Cayenne) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 390'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Porsche Cayenne engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 26 years | 4 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Nissan Patrol | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Nissan Terrano might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Porsche Cayenne engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
