Key Features of the Nissan X-Trail SUV
The all-new Nissan X-Trail is built on the CMF-C platform, co-developed with Renault, and features a striking V-shaped front grille with chrome accents, inverted L-shaped LED DRLs, a redesigned bumper, front camera, and new LED tail lights. Its interior is designed for luxury and comfort, offering a premium driving experience with a range of advanced features.
Interior and Technology Highlights
Inside, the Nissan X-Trail offers a premium experience with an eight-inch infotainment screen that supports wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The SUV is equipped with dual-zone climate control and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster for comprehensive driver information. For added convenience, it includes a 360-degree surround camera, a wireless charger, and a panoramic sunroof. However, it does not feature leather seat upholstery, powered and ventilated front seats, or an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite, which some competitors provide at similar price points.

Under the hood, the Nissan X-Trail features:
- 1.5-Liter Three-Cylinder Turbo-Petrol Engine: With Variable Compression Turbo technology
- Output: 161 BHP and 300 NM of torque
- Transmission: CVT gearbox with paddle shifters
- Drive Configuration: Available only in 2WD
This engine delivers improved performance and fuel efficiency, making it a strong contender in the SUV segment.
Market Position and Availability
The Nissan X-Trail enters a competitive full-size SUV market, challenging models like the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, Skoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Tucson, and Jeep Meridian. Despite its higher price due to CBU importation, the X-Trail offers a premium alternative with advanced features and distinctive design. Nissan offers a 3-year/100,000 KM warranty and 3 years of free roadside assistance with the X-Trail. Optional Protection Maintenance Plans (PMP) are available for 2-5 years, providing additional peace of mind for buyers.
Conclusion

With its competitive pricing and comprehensive feature set, the X-Trail is set to be a strong contender in the market. Its global success, combined with a generous warranty and service plan, enhances its appeal for buyers seeking a premium SUV experience.
