This is the new Nissan X-Trail Honor, an SUV for the Chinese car market. Naturally, the X-Trail Honor is only new in name. It is continuation of the third-generation Nissan X-Trail, and it will be sold alongside the new fourth-generation X-Trail. To prevent confusion, the old car was named X-Trail Honor and the new car uses the X-Trail name.
Design-wise there aren’t any changes
compared to the previous X-Trail, but the alloy wheels are new. Some
continuation cars get a design update before they are (re) launched but Nissan
didn’t bother. and why should they? The X-Trail has always been a popular car
and they should be able to sell a few thousand Honors a year.
The interior didn’t get an update either
and it is here that you can really see it is an old car. Production in China
started in 2014. The instrument panel, touch screen, and the giant gear lever
are a sign of forgone times. The Nissan X-Trail Honor is only available with
one engine: a 2.0 naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol unit with an output
of 151 hp and 194 Nm. The motor is mated to a CVT sending horses to the front
wheels. Top speed is 183 km/h, 0-100 takes 12.7 seconds, and fuel consumption
is 6.2 liters per 100 kilometer.
Price for the ‘new’ Nissan X-Trail Honor
ranges from 189.300 to 192.800 yuan (US$ 29.720 – 30.270). For comparison, the new
X-Trail starts has a 204 hp 1.5 turbo under the bonnet, 2WD or 4WD, and costs
between 181.900 and 262.900 yuan.
