It will be brought to our shores as a fully imported model and here’s everything you need to know about it. 

Design And Size

The X-Trail SUV sports a split-headlight setup and retains the familiar grille, which is finished in dark chrome. It sits on 20-inch alloy wheels that are available as standard and the side profile features body cladding. The rear gets the Nissan logo placed in the centre, right above the “X-Trail” badging, and flanked by wraparound LED tail lamps. 

The SUV will be offered in three different hues: Pearl White, Champagne Silver and Diamond Black.

In terms of dimensions, it measures 4680 mm in length, 1840 mm in width and 1725 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2705 mm. 

Features And Seating Layout 

The X-Trail will come with features including, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brake with auto-hold function, paddle shifters and wireless phone charger.
