Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has launched the X-Tremer and Aero Edition packages for the X-Trail, with both being made available for all variants of the seven-seat SUV. These packages add on a number of accessories for more visual presence, and are fitted from the factory.

Let’s start with the X-Tremer, which is offered in three two-tone paint schemes – Imperial Red, Brilliant White and Tungsten Silver – all with a black roof, roof rails and rear spoiler. The black theme extends to the V-motion grille, 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, door mirrors and the added Tomei aerokit.


Meanwhile, the Aero Edition gets the same gloss black 17-inch wheels and Tomei package as the X-Tremer, although the latter is finished in silver instead. Additionally, the model is available in three single-tone exterior finishes, including Diamond Black, Imperial Umber and Titanium Olive. On the inside, both feature brown Nappa leather upholstery for the seats, along with a leatherette dashboard, knee pad and armrest.

The X-Tremer and Aero Edition are offered in four variants, including the 2.0L 2WD and 2.0L 2WD Mid that feature a MR20DD 2.0 litre NA four-cylinder engine with 144 PS at 6,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Higher up the range, there’s the 2.5L 4WD with a QR25DE 2.5 litre four-pot providing 171 PS at 6,000 rpm and 233 Nm at 4,000 rpm.


At the very top is the 2.0L Hybrid, which pairs a MR20DD with a hybrid system that consists of an electric motor rated at 41 PS and 160 Nm, a 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery and Nissan’s Intelligent Dual Clutch Control (clutch mechanism between the engine and CVT transmission). All engines are paired with an X-Tronic CVT with seven virtual gears.

In terms of pricing, the X-Tremer in 2.0L 2WD guise goes for RM 140,888 on-the-road without insurance, while the 2.0L 2WD Mid retails for RM 152,888, the 2.5L 4WD for RM160,888 and the 2.0L Hybrid for RM 166,888. As for the Aero Edition, the 2.0L 2WD variant is priced at RM 138,888, the 2.0L 2WD Mid at RM 150,888, the 2.5L 4WD at RM 158,888 and the 2.0L Hybrid at RM 164,888. All purchases come with a five-year/unlimited-mileage warranty, which also cover the hybrid system and battery), while the package accessories come with a three-year/100,000-km warranty.
