Celebrating its world premiere at the Auto Shanghai 2021 in China, the new generation Nissan X-Trail, otherwise known as the Rogue in North America, will officially launch in Europe in summer 2022. The compact SUV will join the likes of the brand’s new high-riders, such as the smaller third-gen Qashqai (aka Rogue Sport in the U.S.) and second-gen Juke, as well as the Ariya battery-electric crossover.

The 2022 X-Trail will look identical to the new-gen Rogue. Nonetheless, while the model sold in the United States uses a 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder rated at 181 HP and  245 Nm of torque mated to a standard CVT and FWD, with AWD being an option, Europe’s variant will get the brand’s e-Power electrified powertrain that uses the internal combustion engine (ICE) strictly as an electricity generator, while the electric motor drives the wheels directly.

The all-wheel drive version will launch with more advanced driving modes that will improve traction on snow, gravel and mud. Also, like its predecessor, the new X-Trail will continue to be offered with an optional third row of seats. Full details surrounding Europe’s 2022 X-Trail should be released close to its on-sale date.
