Sales market: Russia.
small SUV Nissan X-Trail, presented in Russia by the second generation, outwardly retained continuity with the previous generation, however, it is built on a completely new Nissan C platform. Having retained almost the same wheelbase dimensions, new nissan X-Trail has noticeably grown in length (now it is 4630 mm against 4455 for the previous generation). Accordingly, other overall dimensions also increased, which had a positive effect not only on the appearance (the car began to look more solid), but also on the dimensions of the internal space. New car became more technologically advanced and safer, received an even more comfortable trunk and interior, the instrument panel returned to its usual place (in front of the driver) - this is perhaps the most noticeable change in the cabin.
In Russia, the car is offered in two main performance levels: "SE" and "LE", while each has an additional set of trim levels, which makes the overall list of options quite impressive. If we talk about basic equipment, then it includes on-board computer, climate control, air ducts for rear passengers, multifunction steering wheel with tilt and reach adjustment, CD player with USB and mp3 support; power windows, heated front seats, light and rain sensors; many containers, cup holders and pockets, including a console box with an armrest and a function for heating and cooling cup holders. As for the more expensive versions, the X-Trail gets all the attributes of a luxury car in the maximum equipment: leather interior, cruise control, smart key, alloy wheels eighteen"; leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear lever and knobs parking brake; audio system with 9 speakers incl. subwoofer, panoramic sunroof electric, color multifunction display, all-round cameras and other "usefulness". There is also a maximally simplified version of "XE" that comes with simple salon and only with a manual transmission, but, on the other hand, the cost of the X-Trail in this configuration is a little more than 1 million rubles.
This SUV is equipped with one of two gasoline engines or diesel engine. Petrol power units volume of 2.0 (MR20DE) and 2.5 liters (QR25DE) have a capacity of 141 and 169 hp, respectively. and are equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission or stepless variator X-Tronic CVT with the ability to manual switching gears. The diesel X-Trail (manual or 6-speed automatic) comes with a 2-liter M9R engine with direct injection and a power of 150 hp. The maximum torque of 320 Nm is already reached at 2000 rpm. In terms of energy intensity and efficiency, this particular equipment option seems ideal for a crossover designed for trips both around the city and outside the city.
The chassis of the car has also changed. car received intellectual system all-wheel drive Intelligent All Mode 4x4-i, which reads data from sensors ESP, steering angle and accelerator pedal position. This system anticipates wheel slip and redistributes torque between the front and rear wheels in the required proportion. At the front, the car has an independent McPherson-type spring suspension mounted on a subframe, and at the rear - independent multi-link suspension. New X-Trail is also more prepared for off-road driving and is equipped with Uphill Start Support (USS) - assistance on the ascent and Downhill Drive Support (DDS) - assistance during the descent (except for the configuration with a 2-liter engine and manual transmission).
Compared to the previous generation, the list of security systems included in the basic version has become even more impressive. This anti-lock system brakes (ABS), electronic distribution system braking forces(EBD), amplifier emergency braking(Brake Assist), front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, window curtain airbags, active front seat head restraints, ISOFIX child seat anchorages. All seat belts - in a three-point version, front - with pretensioners (on driving seat- with double pretensioner) and force limiters. All seats are equipped with seat belt warning.
Already the second generation X-Trail crossover shows high class with its rich equipment. In addition, the manufacturer has again managed to achieve the perfect combination of sophistication and elegance, characteristic of passenger car, with the power, durability and reliability of an SUV. It should be added that it is also very practical car, the interior and trunk of which is thought out to the smallest detail.
Read completelyThe second generation Nissan X-Trail, or rather the second generation, was officially presented to the public in 2007 at Geneva Motor Show(the model received the index T31).
The first generation car (index T30) was conceived as practical car on reasonable price, the same qualities were retained by the creators of the second generation machine. In the new car, developers and designers have kept the tradition, improving both the functionality and practicality of the model, as well as its driving characteristics.
The dimensions were slightly increased compared to the X-Trail T30, which affected the increase in the size of the trunk - the length of the car increased by 12 centimeters and almost all of the increase was in the cargo part. The body retained its proportions and brutal rectangular shape. Added more aggressive plastic body kit. It is this design that allows the car to look like a truly "male" real SUV, unlike most crossover competitors with their slick forms.
The interior, like the exterior, is made for the sake of functionality: here is a multifunctional steering wheel with a simple and understandable dashboard (in the second generation it was returned to its usual place behind the wheel), and a rectangular center console deployed both to the driver and to front passenger. The console has a large 5-inch screen (in maximum trim levels), spinners climate system and a music control unit that does not cause any difficulties in managing - everything is intuitive and easy to control with one hand without taking your attention off the road.
We didn’t forget about comfort either - full power accessories, seat heating, climate control, cruise control, a sunroof, navigation, which are sometimes not recommended, air conditioning deflectors for rear passengers. Salon is made in black, hard plastic, good quality, with a good fit of parts without visible gaps with decorative elements "aluminum look". In the maximum configuration is possible. The front seats are multi-directional, including height and lumbar support for the driver's back. 3 adult passengers will sit comfortably in the back - the rear seats are adjustable in tilt angle in three positions. If necessary, the rear seats fold in the ratio of 40:20:40, or completely lowered to increase from 603 to 1773 liters of usable trunk volume. 
We fold the rear seats and get completely cargo compartment with a flat plastic floor. In the second generation, a convertible box was added to the trunk for things needed on the road (loading height increased). The creators have not forgotten about the full-fledged spare wheel that comes with the X-Trail, it is hidden under the raised boot floor.
Technical features
Officially in Russian nissan market brought out the X-Trail T31 with two engines. The first brand new benzie new engine 2.0 liter (MR20DE) and the well-known 2.5 liter petrol engine (QR25DE). The first develops a power of 141 hp. (torque 200 Nm), the second was boosted to 169 hp. (torque 230 Nm). Both have 4 cylinders in line, are powered by 95 petrol and have a choice of either a six speed mechanical box gears, or stepless CVT variator. For a 2.5 liter engine. a variator is installed with an imitation of six gears that can be selected manually - convenient on serpentines and for those who like to drive. 
Another new engine was offered for the Japanese home market, a 2.0 liter turbodiesel (M9R) with 171 hp and 350 Nm of torque. It was equipped with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. It was not officially delivered to our country due to the compliance of the motor with Euro IV standards, unlike diesel fuel in Russia, which does not meet this standard.
All configurations sold in Russia were equipped with All Mode 4 × 4-i (i-intelligent) intelligent all-wheel drive technology.
To turn a passenger car into an SUV, you need to use the swivel washer on the front tunnel to transfer the drive from front to full. Possible choice: 2WD, Auto, Lock. By default, in 2WD mode, all torque goes to the front axle. In Auto mode, when one of the front wheels slips, part of the moment goes to rear wheels, which allows you to feel confident on a wet, snowy or icy road (works up to 70 km / h). In Lock mode - “forced all-wheel drive” (works until reaching 40 km / h) - torque is distributed equally between the front and rear axles - the mode is suitable for conquering country roads, shallow fords, sandy banks of rivers, lakes, as well as snowdrifts 210 mm high . That is how much the clearance of the T31 is. City curbs won't stop him either.
The front suspension is independent MacPherson type, the rear is independent multi-link. At the same time, the front suspension is mounted on a more rigid subframe and has a stabilizer roll stability larger diameter, and the rear shock absorbers received a greater slope, which made it possible to increase the size of the luggage compartment. Nissan C platform, known from the Nissan Qashqai.
AT complete set of Nissan X-Trail T31 includes driver assistance systems for ascent and descent (Downhill Drive Support and Uphill Start Support). USS (Uphill Start Support) holds the car with the brakes for five seconds, and at this time the driver calmly transfers his foot from the brake to the gas - and starts smoothly. DDS (Downhill Drive Support) - on the slopes does not allow to pick up speed over 7 km / h.
Nissan equipped disc brakes on all wheels. The steering wheel is equipped with an electric power steering, which increased the information content of the steering.
X-Trail is quite good in terms of safety. The car has many electronic systems, such as the system electronic control stability control (ESP), anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control system(TCS) auxiliary system braking (BAS). Nissan is equipped with both front and side passenger airbags. And in the maximum configuration and security curtains.
According to the EuroNCAP system for the safety of passengers and children in Nissan showroom X-Trail Т31 received 4 stars out of 5 possible. With passive safety of pedestrians worse - 2 stars.
In general, the second-generation Nissan X-Trail deserves excellent marks in terms of the combination of characteristics both for the level of equipment that is offered to the consumer and for its high functionality and practicality. The car is truly universal, suitable for operation, both in an urban metropolis, and in the suburbs and outside the city. Does not succumb to snow or to the curbs of city streets. The car fully corresponds to its image and purpose.

Children's Sores Nissan X-Trail second generation (2007 - 2010, restyling 2010 - 2015).
Nissan Xtrail is very popular in our country. Not surprising, because he is a frequent guest in the TOP 10, the best-selling "crossovers" in the world. All these successes are accompanied by good reliability and an affordable price tag. For example, 5 years ago, at Russian dealers, an all-wheel drive "X-trail" cost a million with "kopecks". Pretty good offer for a mid-size "SUV". This was achieved by a plant near St. Petersburg, which began production of the model in 2009. Up to this point, all imported cars were made in Japan. special claims to domestic assembly- No.
X-trail II was produced with 3 engines. Petrol: 2.0 liters with a capacity of 141 horsepower (combined fuel consumption - 9 liters per 100 kilometers, acceleration to 100 km / h in 12 seconds) and 2.5 liters per 168 liters. s (up to the first hundred in 10.4 seconds, average consumption fuel 9.6 per hundred). A two-liter diesel engine with two boost options: 150 hp (highway / city consumption - 8 liters, acceleration to 100 - 12.6 s) and 174 forces (combined consumption - 7.6 liters, up to a hundred in 10 seconds).
Three transmissions: "mechanics" for 6 gears, a six-speed automatic (only on diesel versions) and stepless variator. All-wheel drive is connected through a clutch, but there are also front-wheel drive modifications.
Basic equipment: heated front seats, el. heated mirrors, bluetooth audio system, climate control, six airbags (4 euroNcap stars), ABS, 4 el. window regulator.
Maximum equipment: keyless entry, bose audio system with USB touch screen with navigation, all-round and rear view cameras, el. seat adjustment, assistance during the descent and ascent uphill, el. folding mirrors, light and rain sensor, leather interior, system exchange rate stability, xenon headlights, cruise control, heating rear seats, a roof with a panoramic view.
Weaknesses of the Nissan X-trail T31 or what to look for when buying a used one.
|
Transmission |
|
| speed “floats”, “kicks”, blows on the go - the variator fails (very rare case), at timely service— there are no such problems, the box is very reliable | to avoid "bulkhead" variator: - oil change every 40 thousand km - do not skid, do not tow, do not accelerate sharply from a standstill - warm up before driving (squeeze the brake pedal, shift into gear, stand for 5 minutes) |
| "Weak" clutch manual transmission (except diesel) - slips, smell in the cabin, "grabs" at the top | replacement of the kit with the original or analogue, in half of the cases including the flywheel (50 thousand rubles), for prevention - do not tow (slip), fully depress the pedal |
| hum - knock, vibration, manifests itself during acceleration - "weak" crosses cardan shaft | - replacement of crosses - it is better to contact a specialized service (there you can balance the shaft) - for prevention - drive more often in 2WD mode |
| “Whistling” of the stove motor, after a short time - failure (small motor resource) | - bulkhead or selection for disassembly - install an analogue (for example, with Aliexpress) - original motor |
| "creaks-rattles" 5 - I am the door | soundproofing |
| "Weak" gas stops of the trunk lid | replace with reinforced |
| windshield wipers “tinder” badly - bushings of the “wipers” trapezoid burst | turn the bushings or pick up, if they are intact - put washers |
| rattles "jabot" (plastic trim over the wipers | stick with double sided tape |
| slipping over time door seals(lower) | put caps with a larger “hat” or screw in self-tapping screws |
| tailgate often rusts | paint |
|
Electrician |
|
| gradually stops working: signal, cruise control, buttons on the steering wheel, the AirBag icon is on - the steering column cable “breaks” | the best solution is the original cable (Chinese is enough for six months) |
| incorrect fuel level readings | clean the fuel level sensors (there are 2 of them), for prevention: refuel full tank when the empty tank light comes on |
|
Engine |
|
| 2.0 – increased consumption oil, observed after 100 thousand km (can reach up to a liter per 1000 km) | - switch to 5w30 oil - replacement valve stem seals, piston rings |
| 2.0 - antifreeze in cylinders - cracks in candle wells | replacement of the cylinder head, for prevention: twist the candles only torque wrench- unscrew - "spraying chemistry" |
| extraneous sound during the operation of the air conditioner - the bearing of the air conditioner pulley fails | you can put an analogue, brand NTN |
|
Suspension |
|
| frequent leakage, knocking (on irregularities) of the front shock absorbers - a small resource | fit from Renault Koleos (they are cheaper) |
| knocking when driving through pits, felt on the steering wheel - diagnose the steering shaft and rack (mileage about 100 thousand) | - many decisions on the club forum, for example - "pull" with a clamp or put new shaft
- there are repair kits for the steering rack |
| "Weak" silent blocks of the subframe (parts are not expensive, but the work is not cheap) | install original |
| "hum" on the go (60-80 km / h) - wheel bearings, their average resource is 50 - 60 thousand km | the hub changes along with the bearing, there are many analogues, for example, NTN |
Summing up, we can say that most of the problems with the X-trail happen at a run of about 100 thousand km, but it can always be wound up. Therefore, it is better to check the sores in fact at the service station. The most reliable is diesel unit with automatic transmission, of which we have only a few in our country (accordingly, the breakdown statistics are below). Best Choice, there will be a modification with gasoline engine 2.5 liters on the variator. The car is strong enough, and the whole “bouquet” of diseases will not manifest itself in you, but it can partially.
Sores of other Nissan models.
The 2nd generation Nissan X-Trail crossover (T31) made its official debut in 2007 at the Geneva International Auto Show, and in 2010 it underwent a minor upgrade, as a result of which it received refreshing changes to the exterior and interior. The “Japanese” combines the advantages of an SUV and an ordinary passenger car, for which he gained wide popularity around the world, but in 2013 a third-generation model arrived in time for him to change. Russian motorists were more fortunate - in our country, the "brutal X-Trail" T31 was sold until 2015.
Appearance " second X-Trail» is made in an angular-strict and simple design, devoid of any stylistic frills. But it is precisely such a purely masculine and brutal look with muscular and correct proportions allows the "Japanese" to look like a real SUV, standing out among the "crowd" of modern crossovers with too "licked" forms.
By their own overall dimensions X-Trail under the index "T31" refers to the "compact SUV" segment: 4636 mm long, 1700 mm high and 1790 mm wide. Wheelbase the crossover is limited to a distance of 2630 mm, and the clearance from the bottom to the roadway (clearance) has a solid figure of 210 mm.
The interior design follows the concept given appearance car - square shape, high level of functionality and high-quality performance. Before the eyes of the driver are multifunctional steering wheel and a dashboard with a simple design and excellent information content. On the massive center console there is a 5-inch touch screen, a control unit for “music” and other gadgets, as well as three “twists” of the climate system. The front panel looks strict, but quite modern, and its feature is well-adjusted ergonomics.
The interior of the “second Cunning” is made of plastic that is pleasant to the eye and touch, diluted with silver inserts for aluminum, and in expensive versions also with leather upholstery. All panels are tightly fitted to each other, the gaps between them are minimal.
front seats Japanese crossover possess good profile and sufficient lateral support, they are able to adjust in six different directions. The rear sofa will accept three riders with friendliness, providing them with the necessary supply of space on all fronts. For the convenience of passengers, there is an adjustable backrest and individual air conditioning deflectors.
The luggage compartment of this car is designed to carry 479 liters of cargo, has an almost perfect layout, additional drawers are hidden under the raised floor, under which, in turn, there is a full-size spare wheel. The second row of seats fit into a flat area, forming a 1773-liter "hold" for luggage.
Specifications. The 2nd generation of the X-Trail was equipped with three inline four-cylinder engines, each of which relied on proprietary All Mode 4 × 4-i all-wheel drive technology.
The base petrol option is the 2.0-litre MR20DE engine, which produces 141 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 196 Nm of peak thrust at 4800 rpm. A tandem with him is a 6-speed “mechanics” or a classic CVT variator, thanks to which the “rogue” rushes to the first hundred in 11.1-11.9 seconds, and is gaining maximum 169-181 km / h. Fuel consumption does not exceed 8.5-8.7 liters.
The most productive unit is a petrol QR25DE with a volume of 2.5 liters and a potential of 169 “horses” at 6000 rpm, generating 233 Nm of torque at 4400 rpm. In combination with a CVT, it allows the “second” Nissan X-Trail to cope with the first 100 km / h in 10.3 seconds with a “maximum” of 182 km / h. Every hundred kilometers in mixed mode, the crossover takes 9.1 liters of fuel.
Apart from petrol versions there was also a turbodiesel version of the X-Trail T31, under the hood of which a 2.0-liter M9R engine was installed. In the arsenal of the "four" - 150 "mares" at 4000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque, supplied already at 2000 rpm. Two 6-speed gearboxes are available for it - “mechanics” and “automatic”. "Forcing" the first hundred takes 11.2-12.5 seconds, maximum possibilities are 181-185 km / h, "eating" diesel fuel does not exceed 6.9-8.1 liters.
All-wheel drive transmission of this machine has three modes of operation - 2WD, Auto, Lock. By default, the entire moment is spent on front axle, but at speeds up to 70 km / h, you can start the Auto mode, after which, when one of the wheels slips, a certain amount of torque is sent to rear axle. In Lock mode (operates at speeds up to 40 km / h), the clutch discs are constantly in a fixed position, and traction is transmitted between the wheels of both axles in equal volumes by means of simple symmetrical differentials.
At the heart of the second generation Nissan X-Trail is the Nissan C bogie. The car is equipped with a MacPherson strut suspension at the front and a multi-link at the rear. Ventilated disc mechanisms on all wheels with ABS systems, EBD and ESP provide the crossover with effective deceleration, and control facilitates electric amplifier steering wheel.
Prices. In connection with the entry into the market of the third generation, the X-Trail T31 went on a well-deserved rest (at the beginning of 2015 it could still be bought from official dealers stamps at a price of 1,093,000 rubles). Throughout the entire life cycle, the crossover has been very popular with Russian motorists, so secondary market a large number of offers are available, the price of which on average varies from 700,000 to 1,300,000 rubles (depending on the year of manufacture, condition of the vehicle and other factors).
