Nissan X Trail Specifications

The Nissan X-Trail has returned to the Indian market after a decade and is now in its fourth generation. It is imported as a fully built unit (CBU) in a single, fully loaded variant. This model has been expertly crafted and engineered by leading automotive specialists in Japan.

Powering the X-Trail is a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid turbo-petrol engine, producing 161 bhp and 300 Nm of torque, mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that powers the front wheels. Below are its key specifications and standout features:

• Design Appeal: The Nissan X-Trail blends rugged SUV styling with urban sophistication. Its simple yet timeless design, free from sharp creases, ensures lasting visual appeal.

• Front Fascia: A bold grille, split headlamps, and LED daytime running lights define the front, complemented by full-LED headlamps. However, halogen indicators feel like an unnecessary cost-cutting measure.

• Side Profile: At nearly 4.7 meters long, the X-Trail's side profile emphasises its size, with 20-inch alloy wheels adding a solid, planted stance.

• Rear Design: The rear design is understated with smoked LED tail lamps, but, again, halogen indicators feel dated.

• Modern Touches: Sleek two-stage LED headlamps and muscular wheel arches enhance its modern, premium look, while the panoramic sunroof adds luxury and ventilation.

• Engine: Powered by a 1.5L Variable Compression Turbo petrol engine with a 12V mild-hybrid system, producing 161 bhp and 300 Nm of torque.

• Transmission: Mated to a CVT automatic with front-wheel drive, the CVT offers smooth city driving and responsive acceleration in demanding conditions.
