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

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.
