But let's start with the exterior, which, according to most, is majestic, courageous, imposing. I fully agree with this. The front of the new generation Nissan X Trail 2019 SUV looks especially charismatic.
Not very large windshield "cuts" into the embossed hood with flowing clear lines. The narrowed optics of the head light, presented in the form of pointed headlights with boomerangs of LEDs, looks great. Between them, a V-shaped radiator grille with an elegant chrome trim of the same letter shape is harmoniously placed.
The muscular front bumper testifies to the irrepressible strength and power of the car. It is tailored from smooth, massive elements. Most of it is reserved for a trapezoidal air duct, on the sides of which you can see diamond-shaped fog lamp compartments.
An additional attraction for the 2019 2020 Nissan X Trail is the narrow chrome bar, which is visible in the photo. It adorns the lower part of the air intake.
If you look at the sidewalls of an SUV, then puffy wheel arches, an absolutely flat roof, and smooth stampings on the doors catch your eye. The window sill line runs smoothly and only at the rear pillars sharply soars up. The chrome edging of the side glazing looks beautiful.
The stern meets with luxurious lanterns with five corners, a wide top spoiler with a brake light, a massive tailgate. The rear bumper looks neat but powerful. Three narrow additional brake lights are installed along its lower part.

The new dimensions of the updated Nissan X Trail 2019 2020 have not changed much. The length of the car was 4643 mm, which is 20 mm more than its predecessor. Width and height remained at the same level - 1820 and 1695 mm. A solid ground clearance of 210 mm testifies to excellent off-road qualities.
Beautiful SUV interior
Salon meets with a magnificent finish with high-quality materials, good-quality soft plastic, genuine leather. The front panel is simple, but looks modern and elegant. The instrument panel is hidden under a small, neat visor.
Between the two large dials sits a narrow, 5-inch high trip computer. The new Nissan X Trail 2019 SUV model has a multifunctional steering wheel with beautiful aluminum lining. The center console is slightly “drowned” inward.
The upper block contains two deflectors, which are united by a U-shaped chrome trim. A separate block is a 7-inch touch screen with a scattering of buttons around it. 
The front and rear seats are comfortable and functional. There are no complaints about high lateral supports, lumbar support, comfortable backrests. The driver's seat is endowed with a wide range of adjustments in different directions. Moreover, seat heating is available in all trim levels.
By increasing the length of the new body of the Nissan X Trail 2019 2020 SUV, the interior has become much more spacious and roomy. Nothing interferes with the comfort and convenience of passengers, since the rear transmission tunnel is completely absent. The presence of longitudinal adjustments makes it easy to increase the free space for the legs.
As an additional option, a third row of seats is offered, but it is more suitable for children. Adult passengers are unlikely to be comfortable in the gallery. The practicality of the car is confirmed by the new luggage compartment, which will take about 550 liters of luggage. The transformation of the rear sofa increases the volume to 1982 liters.
From the basic equipment will be available:
- climate control system;
- immobilizer;
- full package of airbags;
- active power steering;
- electropackage;
- front, rear parking sensors;
- ABS system, exchange rate stability;
- navigation system.
Machine Specifications
A pleasant surprise was a wide power line, consisting of three options for modern motors. All of them are capable of endowing the 2019 2020 Nissan X Trail SUV with decent technical characteristics. Moreover, not only admirers of gasoline versions, but also diesel ones will be satisfied.
The car will receive a 6-speed “mechanics” and a continuously variable variator with front or all-wheel drive. It is noteworthy that the parameters declared by the manufacturer do not differ too much from the real ones, which pleases. Read more about this in the test drive video of the latest generation Nissan X Trail 2019 SUV.
The electric power steering installed in the car is able to change its characteristics, depending on the situation on the road. It is also worth noting a reliable braking system, a large list of security systems.
As many as seven trim levels at a price of 1,410,000 rubles. for the basic version of the Nissan X Trail 2019 2020 of the new model year, the manufacturer offers. You can choose from: XE, SE, SE+, LE Urban, LE, LE Urban+, LE+. Medium-equipped options will pull 1,500,000 - 1,650,000 rubles. In the top version will be available:
- dead zone tracking system;
- driver fatigue sensor;
- leather trim;
- automatic valet;
- all-round camera;
- LED head optics;
- a roof with a panoramic view;
- navigation system.
As for the price of the top version of the Nissan X Trail 2019 2020 SUV, it will be approximately 1,870,000 rubles.
SUV competitors in Russia
To compare the Nissan X Trail 2019 2020, I chose such worthy competitors as the BMW X3 and the Chevrolet Niva. The stylish, bright design of the BMW body will appeal to many motorists. The main advantages of the car can be called excellent ergonomics of the driver's seat, excellent build quality, good handling.
Unlike many competitors, BMW demonstrates excellent acceleration dynamics, excellent cross-country ability, and endurance. The car easily overcomes impassability, clearly executes the driver's commands, does not have the habit of leaving a given trajectory.
An additional advantage of the X3, I would call fuel efficiency, but only in relation to the diesel version of the engine. At a decent level of visibility, regular optics. 
Just like the restyled 2019 Nissan X Trail SUV, the BMW X3 has a serious drawback - a stiffer suspension. In winter, the elephant slowly warms up, and the stove itself often fails. Despite the high build quality, BMW cannot boast of corrosion resistance. Especially a lot of trouble is delivered by some electronic assistants, which often give out erroneous information or refuse to work at all.
Niva has a quite presentable exterior, comfortable, cozy interior. The driver's seat is well equipped and thought out to the smallest detail. The front seats have a wide range of adjustments. A plus is the high ground clearance of the Niva, as well as amazing off-road performance.
The car was loved for its endurance, unpretentiousness in maintenance, affordable price. The advantages include a strong, reliable body, a high level of safety, excellent vehicle handling.
If we consider the shortcomings, then the most important I would include sluggish dynamics, a poor power line, which consists of only one motor, not very good visibility, which is hindered by wide rear pillars.
Not in favor of the Chevrolet Niva cramped rear seat, high fuel consumption. The car's electronics often fail, and the tight parking brake causes inconvenience to the driver.
Advantages and disadvantages
According to the owners, the latest generation Nissan X Trail 2019 2020 car has a lot of advantages, including:
- beautiful, charismatic appearance;
- comfortable, spacious interior;
- excellent quality finishes;
- expensive materials, solid plastic;
- low fuel consumption, especially in the diesel version;
- excellent cross-country ability, off-road qualities, handling;
- the car is reliable, hardy;
- high ground clearance;
- a solid list of equipment.
Flaws:
- high price;
- mediocre sound insulation;
- prone to corrosion;
- capricious automatic transmission;
- the on-board computer often gives erroneous information.
In fact, the restyled X-Trail has long been declassified: in America, this model is sold under the name Nissan Rogue, and was shown for the local market back in September last year. Now it's the turn of a variant under a global name, and China has become the first market for the upgraded Ixtrail: local dealers will have cars in early April. But there were no surprises: the 2017 Chinese Nissan X-Trail almost exactly repeats its American twin.
The modernization brought a different face to the crossover with an enlarged radiator grille and a large chrome trim in the form of the letter V. Bumpers have changed, LED checkmarks for navigation and parking lights have appeared in front and behind. The main new thing in the cabin is a beautiful three-spoke steering wheel in the style of a GT-R supercar. The trim of the front panel and seats has also become different, although only expensive versions will have contrasting inserts, as in the photo. But the new CVT selector with a cover instead of a “naked” groove, the Chinese Ixtrail did not get, although the American Rogue looks better with it.
There are no technical changes for cars for China. Crossovers will continue to be equipped with gasoline aspirated 2.0 (150 hp) and 2.5 (186 hp), the simplest version is with a six-speed "mechanics", the rest is a V-belt variator. All-wheel drive - for a surcharge. And in China, seven-seater versions are offered, which have long disappeared from Russian price lists. However, the third row of such crossovers is rather conditional.
Soon the updated Nissan X-Trail will appear in other markets. The power units, most likely, will also remain the same: in Russia these are 2.0 (144 hp) and 2.5 (171 hp) gasoline engines plus a 1.6 turbodiesel (130 hp), and diesel engines are also offered in the Old World 2.0 (177 hp) and petrol turbo four 1.6 DIG-T (163 hp). A novelty for Europe may be a hybrid version, which is already on sale in Japan and America.
A European debut is planned in the coming months, but Russian buyers will have to wait. As Autoreview was informed in the Moscow representative office of Nissan, the updated X-Trail will definitely appear on our market, although the release date has not yet been determined.
Nissan, as it turned out, employs strange people who are going to introduce us to a new one, despite the fact that the updated Nissan Rogue began to be sold in the US back in 2016. As if neither experts nor motorists are aware that this is the same car under different names, or that the territory of the United States has suddenly fallen out of the information field of the planet.
Marketers are probably planning a colorful presentation of the “new” Nissan X-Trail 2018 model year, and experts are preparing to make delighted and amazed faces. By this time, the car will already be fully explored. Some trifles that can be prepared for the Eurasian market will not make much of a difference.
Absolutely incomprehensible Nissan marketing policy. There is a world premiere of the model, there are dates for the start of sales in certain geographical markets, but to present the same car twice a year apart, albeit under a different name, logic is powerless here.
Exterior Nissan X-Trail
A dramatic change in appearance occurred between the second and third generation X-Trail. The change in style benefited the car, since a rectangular silhouette can “wear” with impunity only one modern car - a Mercedes-Benz G-class, maybe even a Range Rover, but its features are gradually smoothed out. Nissan designers continued their course towards smoothed streamlined shapes, which, it should be noted, they succeed very well.
The Nissan X-Trail 2018 looks good. The designers managed to find a good balance between elegance and aggressiveness, without which it is difficult for an SUV to do. The most noticeable changes, as always, are at the front. The chrome trim on the radiator grill has increased, it has become more massive. The features of the head optics have changed. The bumper also acquired a more massive look and acquired rectangular fog lamps oriented horizontally.
In the photos you can see that the lower part of the front bumper air intake is a straight chrome strip. It looks very attractive and interesting, but the lower part of the front bumper in chrome on an SUV?
It is clear that no one buys a Nissan X-Trail to participate in the Paris-Dakar rally, but such a decision is not suitable even for a primer in the summer. No, it's not bad for civilized Europe, but for Russia this is a clear minus. The taillights have acquired a smoother pentagonal shape, LED inserts appeared in them.
Minor interior changes
Inside the 2018 Nissan X-Trail, we see little change. There are literally a couple of things to note. Firstly, the steering wheel has acquired a truncated shape by analogy with sports cars. Slightly changed the shape of the center console. The choice of trim materials and their combinations has expanded. As usual, manufacturers claim that finishing materials have become even better. This suggests that there is nothing more to talk about besides this.
Perhaps you should not complain about the lack of changes. The best is the enemy of the good, and the X-Trail interior is good and unchanged. It is cozy and comfortable, yet functional. The basic equipment is equipped with an infotainment system with a 5-inch color touch screen. To help the driver, the Advanced Drive-Assist route system is offered. Digital receiver, CD, USB slot, iPod connection and Bluetooth will not let you get bored on the road.
In top trim levels or optionally, you can order the Nissan Connect multimedia system. It will provide you with a 7-inch screen, a panoramic view system and a rear view camera. Also available as an option are dual-zone climate control and 9-speaker Bose audio.
I like the 2018 Nissan X-Trail a large number of security systems that are not imposed on you, but are offered only as options. For some, they are unnecessary, but there are also drivers for whom they will make life much easier. The list of available systems is as follows:
- Assistance when exiting a parking lot
- blind spot monitoring;
- marking control (traffic and crossing warning);
- adaptive cruise control;
- collision avoidance (with pedestrian detection).
Very decent and modern equipment. When it comes to safety, Nissan demonstrates a commendable commitment.
2018 X-Trail Specifications
There is no information that a new engine is being developed. Judging by the fact that in the USA cars are sold with the already well-known 2.5-liter gasoline engine with a power of 171 hp. s., the replacement of power plants for the Nissan X-Trail 2018 is not planned.
In Russia, the X-Trail is powered by the above 2.5 liter engine and a 4-cylinder 2-liter engine with 144 hp. With. Oddly enough for the Japanese, the Russians are also offered a dCi diesel unit with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 130 hp. With.
Nissan X-Trail finished 2016 at the 22nd position in the car sales rating in Russia. He lost one position to his brother, but there is one disturbing circumstance. X-Trail sales fell 12.8% year-over-year, while Qashqai sales rose 77.6% (an unprecedented growth rate).
Experts find it difficult to explain what this is connected with. The models are updated at about the same time, the price of both is adequate to their class. Is it really the difference in price at the beginning of 2017 - 999,000 rubles. for Qashqai and 1,279,000 rubles. for X-Trail is so essential for buyers?
Nissan X-Trail 2018: photos
The new Nissan X-Trail 2018 model year ... Let's be honest: there is nothing fundamentally new in this "Japanese" crossover. Especially if you are at least slightly following the latest in the global automotive industry. Don't follow? Then: back in September last 2016, an updated (“local” name of our “X”) was introduced in the USA, and in March 2017, the Chinese market was visited just Well, in the early summer of the same 2017, the novelty finally debuted on the European market - with the traditional prefix "2018 model year". And is it worth saying that "American" differs from "Chinese" with "European" only by the letters of the name?
In general, this is not news. Especially considering that apart from the exterior design, the Nissan X-Trail is not so new: the same engines, but slightly larger and better equipment inside. Already interested? Then see below for more details.
Exterior
We will not scold or praise the updated Nissan X-Trail - there are enough fans and opponents of this or that style on the Web. However, it's hard not to notice the very close exterior: very similar head optics, the signature "V" grille and not so different bumper.
Fortunately, the rear part of the visual differences has much more: a different shape of the rear lights, a less sloping glass of the tailgate, a different molding of the bumper.
And, of course, the dimensions: 4675 mm of the overall length of the “senior” X-Trail versus the modest 4377 mm of the Qashqai.
The innovations of the technical plan for the “exterior” item include a new LED head optics with an adaptive lighting system – but only in the top modifications of the crossover. The traditional "new clothes" include new wheels and bright body colors. By the way, it was in the new fiery orange attire that this crossover made its debut in Europe.
Interior
In the cabin of the updated X-Trail ... Almost nothing has been updated: the only thing that catches your eye is the revised steering wheel bevelled at the bottom. It, as before, is three-spoke, but the range of buttons has been revised for the better (we hope). And, of course, where without loud words about “better interior materials”?
Otherwise, there are no obvious differences: the center console is unchanged, the dashboard is unchanged. However, we will get better: nevertheless, the updated crossover received a slightly different front console in front of the front passenger, and the updated multimedia system received an updated NissanConnect navigator and a new interface in the style of mobile design.
An increase of three centimeters in overall length had a positive effect on the rear passengers and the overall usefulness of the car: a slightly shifted sofa gave a little more legroom, and the trunk grew from 550 to an “impressive” 565 liters. Traditionally, the count goes "by full" load from an empty niche in the underground to the top shelf of the trunk. Bonus - trunk sensors: now, as in more expensive Nissans, the new Ixtrail can be "kicked" to automatically open the fifth door.
Equipment
Here, the Nissan X-Trail 2018 model year does not show miracles either - nevertheless, very serious competition in its segment and an increase in even seemingly insignificant “goodies” of equipment can seriously change the price of a crossover. But, fortunately, it was not without innovations at all: for example, now X can boast of heating not only the front seats, but also the rear sofa, and already in the basic version there is a digital radio. True, in Russia this miracle of technology has not yet taken root very well.
But the main innovation is, of course, the autopilot. Alas, not as smart as Tesla's .. Yes, and not as sophisticated ... And for the same reason, he is not a full autopilot either: the ProPilot system can recognize road markings, “read” signs and identify obstacles, and also try to drive a car in the mode not only of the freeway, but also in a boring city traffic jam - but all within the same lane. But even this “autopilot” will not appear in the crossover immediately with the start of sales: they promise to introduce it “during 2018” as part of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility complex, in which, in addition to the aforementioned ProPilot, an emergency braking system will also be included (with the addition of a recognition function). pedestrians), as well as an assistant to exit the parking lot in reverse.
Motor range
Here, the new X-Trail 2018 showed nothing new at all: diesel 130- and 177-horsepower engines and a gasoline 163-horsepower power unit, complemented by a choice between a mechanical 6-speed gearbox and a CVT. This, of course, is an offer from the European market - in Russia, the crossover will (probably) be presented with already known engines:
- gasoline 2-liter 144 hp
- gasoline 2.5-liter 171 hp
- diesel 1.6-liter 130 hp
The drive is familiar: front and full.
The start of sales of the updated X-Trail in Europe is the end of summer 2017. Until the end of the current year, the novelty will also be presented on the Russian market. It is also worth noting that, according to official data, the production of the updated crossover will be organized on the "native" conveyor in St. Petersburg.
Already presented to fans at the Miami auto show Nissan X-trail 2018, the new body of the photo and the price of which are discussed below has already won the hearts of many motorists. Known in the USA and China, Rogue is ready to win the hearts of Russian connoisseurs of fast and comfortable driving. And even though it is not yet known exactly when to expect the start of sales in Russia, it can be said with absolute certainty that the photo and video of the new SUV will not leave fans of extreme driving indifferent.
Exterior design changes
The new Nissan X-trail 2018 immediately attracts the eye with a more elegant shape of the grille. At the same time, both SUV bumpers have become more brutal. More impressive are the LED-enhanced headlights and taillights.
The new body, among other things, received additional sound insulation. The three-spoke steering wheel has acquired an innovative appearance, has become more sporty. Finishing materials have become more expensive, and the upgraded multimedia system has acquired a trendy interface with an extensive list of all kinds of electronic assistants.
The only difference between the new model introduced to the Russian market and American and Chinese counterparts is the lack of a hybrid version and 7 seats in the performance of this crossover.
Hood content
As for the technical characteristics, after the restyling, the basic version, which has 144 horsepower available, is able to accelerate to 100 km per hour in just 11.1 seconds. At the same time, the car of the new model year is different:
- 6-speed gearbox
- Speed up to 183 km/h
- Fuel consumption 3 liters per hundred
- A variator that reduces fuel consumption
Let's take a closer look at the installation of the variator. It should be noted that while saving gasoline, this unit at the same time somewhat worsens the overall dynamics of the car.
The diesel version of the car, which has 130 horsepower, is no less popular than the gasoline version with 177 horsepower. But, of course, the first is more economical.
Three engine options are available in the new X-Trail, with the buyer's choice of automatic or manual transmission. Cars can be either front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive.
Engines:
- 2-liter gasoline with a capacity of 144 horsepower
- flagship unit in 2.5 liters with 171 horsepower
- diesel 1.6 (130 hp)
Basic version
Already directly into the basic package of the Nissan X-Trail 2018, there is a very solid set of options and equipment that can pleasantly surprise even an experienced driver. Now we are talking about:
- Climate control, designed for two zones
- Audio system equipped with an MP3 player
- Seat heating
- Side view mirrors with automatic adjustment
- Power lifts front and rear
- Adjustable steering column
- Height adjustable driver's seat
- Central locking remote control
- Heated windshield
6 airbags and a stabilizing system, together with an uphill assistant, provide not only comfortable, but also 100% safe movement for the driver and his passengers.
Unique control system
After restyling, the improved X-Trail has not only acquired new visual highlights that attract the eye, but also significant technical improvements that can make life easier for the driver in many ways. Take, for example, the practical autopilot of a car, the ProPilot system. It is distinguished by the exclusive ability not only to read road markings, signs and signs, but also completely independently, without any intervention from the driver, to keep the car within the same lane. In this case, the machine, if necessary, can both automatically pick up acceleration and slow down. These actions apply not only to movement along a suburban highway, but also to movement along narrow city streets, in traffic jams and hustle and bustle. 
If desired, you can buy a car with all-wheel drive and a CVT. True, the surcharge in this case will be approximately 60,000 rubles. If you are not stingy and pay an additional 1,689,000 rubles, you will find 17-inch aluminum wheels, automatically folding mirrors and an assistant to help the driver descend a steep mountain. This equipment is only available in combination with a CVT and all-wheel drive.
Preparation for sales in Russia
As is the case with all other car brands, the start of Nissan X-trail sales in the Russian Federation is somewhat late. Dealer networks expect it for the winter-spring of next year, 2019.
This delay was caused, first of all, by the changeover of the conveyor, on which the crossover was locally assembled at the plant of this Japanese manufacturer in the vicinity of St. Petersburg.
Also, the delay is associated with the need for additional adaptation of the SUV to the specific conditions of our roads and the difficult weather conditions in Russia.
It also delays the release of the SUV due to the need to additionally equip it with an emergency warning system. Recall that according to modern legislation, an emergency response system must be installed on a car without fail.
Nevertheless, despite the time delays, in the near future, Russians will be able to personally test drive and evaluate the power capabilities of the new Nissan X-trail.
It should be noted that the available 8 levels of equipment of the car make it possible to obtain 21 variants of various vehicle configurations at the output. Accordingly, the price for each modification will differ, sometimes very significantly. The starting cost of a crossover is from 1,514,000 rubles, while you get the opportunity to choose an SUV exclusively for yourself and the expected conditions for its operation.
Do not miss the opportunity to transform into a real off-road conqueror and personally enjoy all the opportunities that the new generation Nissan X-trail offers you. Undoubtedly, the money spent on purchasing a car is fully justified, and the pleasure received from driving will far exceed regrets about the rather high cost of an SUV.
