Nissan have been mulling over the idea of launching
a drone on one of their production cars. Say Hi to the new X-Trail X-Scape limited edition,
which features its very own Parrot Bebop 2 drone, tipping the scales at 500g.
The drone comes with a Parrot Skycontroller 2 remote
control, Parrot Cockpitglasses headset, and can fly for up to 25 minutes,
providing a bird's eye view of the surroundings via a 14-megapixel camera,
which sends images back to the driver in real time.
Based on the range-topping Tekna grade, this version
of the X-Trail features standard equipment such as leather upholstery,
electrically adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic air conditioning,
panoramic sunroof, NissanConnect infotainment, and more. It also gets a range
of safety technologies as standard, including Blind Spot Warning, Intelligent
Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Signal Recognition, and
Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection.
Buyers can specify it with a five-seat or seven-seat
interior layout, though will have to settle for the 1.6-liter diesel engine,
delivering 130 PS, which is the only choice. Approximately 1,200 units
of the Nissan X-Trail X-Scape edition will be launched throughout Europe, with
pricing yet to be announced.
