Slotted below the Patrol and the now defunct Terrano, the X-Trail is one of Nissan’s “softer” SUV’s, smaller in size and power output than other models but packed with safety systems.
Based on Nissan’s FF-S platform, the X-Trail was launched with a choice of two gasoline engines with capacities of 2.0 L and 2.5 L and one 2.2 L turbocharged common - rail diesel unit. With outputs ranging from 136 hp to 165 hp and a choice of 2-wheel/4-wheel drive, the X-Trail is a sturdy and versatile city/country road vehicle. Crashes? No worries, for EuroNCAP tests have awarded the car 4 stars for its front occupants protection.
