Nissan has expanded the X-Trail range in Australia
by launching the new N-Trek Limited Edition. Based on the mid-spec ST-L, it
slots under the range-topping Ti, and is limited to 500 units.
Available in 2WD and 4WD configuration, pricing
starts at AUD 38,700 (US$ 26,526) and AUD 40,700 (US$ 27,897). Both
versions of the SUV are powered by a 2.5-liter engine that makes 171 PS and 225 Nm of torque and is paired to a CVT.
Setting it apart from the rest of the range are the
black bonnet protector, slim line weather shields at both ends, front and rear
kick plates and 19-inch alloy wheels. On the inside, the new X-Trail
N-Trek gets a 7-inch infotainment system, Bluetooth, DAB+ digital radio,
satellite navigation system with traffic monitoring, leather trim, heated
seats, dual-zone climate control and cruise control.
A wide selection of safety systems is also included,
like the 360-degree camera system with Moving Object Detection, reversing
camera with predictive path technology, Intelligent Emergency Braking, Forward
Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Sport Warning.
The 2019 X-Trail range starts at AUD 29,890
(US$ 20,488) for the base ST, which packs a 2.0-liter petrol lump that generates 144 PS and 200 Nm of torque, and is matched to a
six-speed manual transmission. For the base diesel-powered variant of the
mid-size SUV, which is powered by a 2.0-liter unit with 176 PS and 380 Nm of torque, you will have to fork out at least AUD 36,690
(US$ 25,149). Prices do not include on-road costs and dealer fees.
