All-New Nissan X-Trail launched in Japan - New platform, new design
Powering the all-new X-Trail is the second-gen ePower hybrid powertrain
Nissan has unveiled the all-new fourth-generation X-Trail SUV in Japan.
Featuring a fresh new design, the all-new X-Trail is built on a completely redesigned platform that reduces body weight while increasing rigidity. Nissan says that a high level of cabin quietness has also been achieved.
On the exterior, the headlamps now have a two-layer structure, with the position lamps and turn lamps at the top and the main lamps below. At the rear, we have the boomerang-shaped rear combination lamps.
Inside, the center console has a bridge structure that includes a large cup holder and storage space. The console lid also functions as an armrest. Roll-down sunshades are installed on the rear windows to enhance interior comfort.
Four seat materials are available - black fabric, premium tan Nappa leather, and Nissan’s exclusively developed Tailor Fit and Cell-Cloth, a water-repellant material that’s ideal for people who enjoy outdoor activities like skiing and marine sports.
Powering the all-new X-Trail is the second-generation e-Power hybrid system which features a petrol engine will also serve as a generator to produce electricity.
There will be an e-Pedal Step which reduces the need to apply the brakes by providing deceleration when the accelerator pedal is released.
There will also be a 4WD version of the X-Trail which is equipped with e-4ORCE, which integrates Nissan's electric propulsion and 4WD control technologies with its chassis-control technology.
The list of safety features includes the Nissan Safety Assist 360 which utilizes cameras, radar and sonar to constantly monitor the vehicle’s surroundings.
There's also an adaptive LED headlight system enables use of the high beam in conjunction with the low beam to illuminate surrounding areas even when there are preceding or oncoming vehicles.
Nissan’s autonomous drive technology called ProPILOT is also there, enabling the SUV to pretty much drive itself and park itself with minimal involvement from the drive of course.
Other key features include a 12.3-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display, a 10.8-inch head-up display, more boot space than the outgoing model, and a Bose Premium Sound System.
