Toyota Fortuner has been reigning the segment with not only its popularity, but also the gigantic sales it holds in the segment every month while its rivals sales are always in triple-digit. This could change as the Fortuner is getting a new rival from Nissan on August 1st which may attract the Fortuner-fans towards itself.
The Indian-spec Nissan X-Trail sports the signature V-motion reverse trapezoidal grille with plenty of bling. Moving away from its third-gen curvaceous design, it now features a boxier silhouette. The front boasts split LED lighting with inverted L-shaped LED DRLs, while the rear showcases L-shaped LED taillamps. Other highlights include 20-inch multi-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels, a rear spoiler with an integrated wiper, and a shark-fin antenna. Available colors are Diamond Black, Champagne Silver, and Solid White.
