The Nissan X-Trail receives a range of updates to make it more competitive in
its class.
Up front, the new Nissan
X-Trail now features a wider ‘V-Motion’ grille, matched by a new bumper design
and a set of revised headlight clusters that integrate the boomerang DRLs.
The rear also gets a redesigned bumper which now features
chrome detailing and a pair of full-LED taillights. New 17- and 18-inch wheel
designs and four new color options complete the exterior revisions.
The interior is updated with a new sportier steering
wheel which is similar to that in the new Micra, a gloss black finish for the
air vents, heated seats front and back and a new tan and black two-tone leather
option on the Tekna trim level. The cabin packaging has also been revised,
meaning that the boot volume in the five-seat version is now larger (565 lt over
the previous 550 lt).
The new Nissan X-Trail will also become available
with the company’s ProPilot semi-autonomous technology during 2018, with the
system able to control the steering, acceleration and braking in a single lane
on highways, during heavy traffic jams and high-speed cruising.
Other driver assistance systems include Intelligent
Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Recognition, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
The range of three engine options remains as is, meaning a 1.6-litre petrol, a
1.6-litre diesel and a range-topping 2.0-litre diesel engine, offered with a
six-speed manual or CVT transmissions and in 2WD or 4WD formats.
