The previous version of the truly popular Nissan X-Trail looked like an SUV, but in fact it was a crossover. The new generation, T32, has the same body look and continues to mislead: although the car has been updated, it is built on the same units, albeit updated.
In the Russian Federation, the previous version fell in love with many car owners and was in great demand. Its comfortable suspension and huge trunk make it a great choice for long distance travel. But this barrel of honey also has a fly in the ointment: its off-road capabilities were very limited, and handling on asphalt was far from ideal. Over time, Nissan X-Trail began to lose its leading position, more successful competitors began to bypass it. An overview of this vehicle has been prepared especially for you.
The main features that the new Nissan X Trail possesses are frowning headlights, a sloping "forehead" and sunken sides. Compared to its predecessor, the updated Nissan X-Trail has become much larger, although, at first glance, you cannot tell. This is especially felt inside the car: its front panel has become much larger, the central air ducts have formed in a chrome frame, a glossy black multimedia console has appeared, the steering wheel has acquired a corporate shape, and soft linings have appeared on the central tunnel. The fit and quality of the materials used has improved significantly. Separately, in the review, you need to highlight the driver's seat: it has become so soft, it seems that you are sitting in the air.
Internal options
The updated version of X Trail has dual-zone climate control and heated windshield. Significantly, no heating is provided in the rear passenger seats. This is probably the only thing that can specifically upset passengers in the second row. Of the advantages of the second row, it should be noted that it is placed above the first, and the passengers seem to look down on 
the surrounding world, the view from there is incredibly wide. There is enough room for grazing, there is enough space to put your feet. If there is a need to adjust the blower, then you need to try hard to reach it. The center section with options has become a completely comfortable armrest with many compartments. The new version of Nissan can accommodate up to 7 people at a time. However, it should be noted that there will be no official sales of 7-seater versions of this car in Russia: very low demand.
Trunk
5, the door of this car is equipped with an electric drive, it can be opened even without exerting force. To do this, just hold your hand near the sensor located above the license plate. The trunk of the updated Nissan X-Trail has become a little larger: it used to be 479 liters, and now it was 497. However, the Nissan X-Trail of the previous generation had two drawers, it was possible to fold the rear seats. Of course, if the backrests are folded down, the trunk of the previous version is out of competition. The new version has reduced underground, but it became possible to insert it into special holes. In this way, you can organize special shelves: horizontal and vertical. The latter, in turn, divides the luggage compartment in half. This is a fairly convenient feature, as it helps to neatly arrange things in compartments. Also, such shelves prevent obstruction of the view when reversing.
Controllability and dynamics
We managed to test it on the lands of an amazing region, the Republic of Karelia. It is impossible to describe its roads: gambling turns, sharp descents and ascents. Cracked asphalt, compacted snow and ice lumps give us the opportunity to test the car's handling, suspension and drive. The new Nissan X Trail is not just an updated crossover, it is, as many auto critics say, an off-road Qashqai. It is more spacious and safer.
On a snowy road, the X Trail runs best in economy mode. In it, the gas pedal is damped, which makes the reactions to pressing more careful, smooth. The car is also equipped with an Eco mode, but it is not so easy to find it: it is hidden near the headlight washer and the stabilization button.
Nissan engineers said they were trying to combine Chinese softness and European handling in the Russian version of this crossover. On tarmac surfaces, the SUV is more enjoyable to drive than on its predecessor. However, for bumpy terrain and country roads, the suspension of the Nissan X Trail is a bit unsuitable - it's harsh. On a road with large holes, the suspension responds very loudly to rebound, on small stones it vibrates.
If we take a test car, then literally a few hours later from the strongest shaking, the plafond began to "walk", it was not possible to eliminate this annoying problem manually. This can be explained by the fact that the production of the X-Trail at the plant in the northern capital of our country began quite recently. The other test machine did not show such problems. The car runs much better on studded tires, on which the rumble from the road is not audible so clearly. The manufacturer plans to additionally integrate seals between the sill and the edge of the door so that the latter does not get dirty and increase the rear view.
The transmission of the new X-Trail
The new version of this car is built on the platform of its older brother, but received new power units and an upgraded transmission. Also, the new Nissan X-Trail received a 210 mm ground clearance (ground clearance). However, such changes led to some deplorable acquisitions: due to the increased wheelbase and straight front overhang, the geometry of the car has deteriorated significantly.
On the track, this crossover keeps a stiff upper lip, but sometimes it catches large irregularities with a bumper.
The advantage of the Nissan X-Trail over Qashqai is the so-called "downhill assist".
It is he who makes it possible to pass the icy slopes and snow bumps safely and without changing the trajectory. The manufacturer recommends passing large and dangerous obstacles in the "Lock" mode. Its function is to block the differential between the wheels: in this way, half of the thrust is transferred to the rear axle.
Passing obstacles without the included modes is difficult, this is prevented by a fairly stiff suspension. As soon as the car catches a diagonal hanging, it starts to brake, and if you press on the gas, it starts to interlock the drive and driven discs. The rear camera is equipped with washers that automatically rid it of dirt, the "all-round" function provides the most precise maneuvering.
Vehicle power
If we compare the Nissan X-Trail with its closest competitor, namely Qashqai, there is a faster response to the response of the accelerator and CVT buttons. Acceleration is not so extended, although the car is a little heavier, it accelerates to 100 km / h 1.5 seconds faster. You also need to say about the required steering effort - it has become more verified. The new version of the Nissan X-Trail with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine has become much more powerful - 171 horsepower against 144.
The operation of the variator gearbox has become more stable and faster, the car has become more responsive to pressing the gas pedal. The updated suspension has become softer, the configuration of the car has also become denser. In general, the new X Trail has become solid. The difference between the chassis of the new and the old Nissan is small, as is the engine consumption: now, for 100 km / h, the 2.5-liter engine has enough 11 liters of 92nd gasoline. Refueling with such fuel became possible only due to the engine with distributed injection.
In the previous version of the X Trail, the diesel version was equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the gasoline versions were equipped with a variator. The new version of the crossover with a diesel engine now only comes with a six-speed manual. Models with a variator equipped with a reinforced plate are also produced, but they do not plan to officially sell such versions in Russia.
The volume of the updated diesel engine is very modest by the standards of a crossover, 1.6 liters with a capacity of 150 horsepower. The maximum torque has not changed: it remained as it was 320 Newton meters. It should be noted that the new X Trail has become a little faster and more ergonomic, reduced, and the view from the windshield has increased.
The engineers managed to supplement the Nissan and recreate the new version of the X Trail almost from scratch. The updated car began to look more modern and more comfortable. However, it should be noted that he lost his individuality. In defense, we can only say that it fully meets all the requirements of urban residents for crossovers. First of all, X Trail will be loved by those for whom constant trips to the country or nature are the norm.

Nissan X Trail T32 review: interior, exterior, engine
Look in the eyes!
Still, it's good when the fruits of restyling are immediately noticeable, otherwise the designers sometimes overreact so that you don't understand right off the bat whether the new version of the car is in front of you or the pre-reform one. With the X-Trail, everything is immediately clear: the facelift program, although standard, but the designers did not become modest, drawing the crossover's face with corners. And if the car flaunts a bright orange color, then it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake: before such a color in the palette there was no "cunning" at all.
The headlights, by the way, have changed not only in shape, but also in content: in expensive versions, they are adaptive and can highlight turns, deflecting the light beam at an angle of up to 15 degrees. It is also worth noting the radiator grill - more precisely, the emblem, which is held on a glass substrate: behind it is the collision avoidance radar. In general, there are more electronics in Nissan: in addition to the aforementioned safety complex with an autobraking function, the X-Trail received an obstacle detection system when reversing. Sensing something is wrong, the car will give an alarm signal, but it will not stop itself, although some competitors already offer such a service.
The tailgate was powered before, but now it is possible to open it with a "pendel" by swiping your foot under the rear bumper. It does not matter whether the central lock is open or closed - the main thing is that the key is in your pocket. You can also close the trunk with your feet.
A lot of good
At first glance, the interior has not changed much - except perhaps for the steering wheel, which is now with a "jammed" rim underneath. The leather trim is a little rough, but for a Japanese car, this is in the order of things. And so - the steering wheel is like a steering wheel. Yes! Heated as of the SE +, which is really good news. And here's another reason for joy: the heated rear sofa. However, this message has a slight bitterness: firstly, there is no division into right and left seats - after turning on the heating, the entire sofa heats up. Well, like the rest - a pillow and a back to the waist. However, this is quite enough. But here's what confuses (and this is secondly): the heating key is located on the tunnel between the front seats, and you can't really turn it on from the back sofa. Nissan engineers are well aware that this is strange and inconvenient, but at this stage they cannot do anything: otherwise, a significant part of the wiring will have to be redrawn, and this is troublesome and also costly.
By the way, so that the electrician resignedly pulled all these "heating pads", instead of the 150A generator, they installed a more powerful one - 180A. This, in particular, made it possible to increase the operating time of the heated windshield.
Show what's hidden
You won't be able to see individual improvements, but you can feel them by taking a ride in the car. The engineers have worked very thoroughly for the sake of greater silence in the cabin: the sound insulation of the engine shield, front fenders and sills has been strengthened; added noise-absorbing materials under the dashboard and in the trunk floor area; additional inserts appeared in the thresholds, and vibration dampers on the floor panels. Finally, plastic shields were installed under the bottom and all configurations, without exception, were equipped with an acoustic windshield - before it was installed only on diesel versions.
In parallel with the upgrade of the "Shumka" in Nissan, the driving characteristics of the crossover were also furiously modified - this turned into a significant alteration of the chassis. The steering has undergone a serious revision: a stiffer steering shaft, other electric power-assisted calibrations - these measures were supposed to increase the steering information content and make the zero clearer (teaser: it turned out). And also the anti-roll bars were replaced, which became thicker by a millimeter each: the front is now a "bar" with a diameter of 24 mm, and at the back - 17 mm. Finally, cars in expensive trim levels (SE Top, LE, LE Top) are equipped with Pirelli Scorpion Verde summer tires instead of the all-season Yokohama Geolandar G91. I almost forgot: the top version of the LE Top now has 19-inch wheels - before the "cunning" had a maximum of "eight". The design of the discs, of course, has also been updated.
The power units remained the same: these are petrol “fours” 2.0 and 2.5 with a capacity of 144 and 171 liters. with. respectively, as well as a 1.6-liter diesel engine (130 hp). The diesel engine is combined only with mechanics and all-wheel drive; 2-liter petrol can be front-wheel drive (both "on fur" and with a variator) or 4WD (only with CVT); and the most powerful 2.5 implies four-wheel drive and a CVT by default.
Both petrol engines, in combination with the continuously variable transmission, were recalibrated, and in the case of the 2-liter engine, the variator also received a new torque converter - all this was started for the sake of a more linear response to the accelerator.
Another ride
There is definitely an effect of all the measures taken, especially when it comes to comfort, which has moved to a new level. The cabin is now noticeably quieter in all driving modes, and the ride has become softer: the crossover is more rounded on irregularities, or something. True, at first, on a very decent-looking asphalt, I managed to feel a certain high-frequency tremor of the body, as if the car had all the wheels pumped, but later I either stopped paying attention to this, or it was all about the peculiarities of the road surface. But on a bad road or even on a lane covered with stones, the X-Trail runs easily and painlessly, demonstrating a decent ride, coupled with the proper energy consumption. On the Crimean serpentines, the rolls do not particularly draw attention to themselves - which means that replacing the stabilizers with new ones (they are 18% stiffer) also went to the crossover's benefit.
But I did not feel any special profit from other variator settings. In theory, he should more convincingly simulate the operation of the machine, as if switching between virtual stages, but it really looks like nothing more than an imitation: the variator essence still crawls out of all the cracks. This, however, is not too annoying - the sound insulation has improved! And there are no special problems with the linearity of responses: in general, thrust control does not raise questions.
With the update of its bestseller (and the X-Trail is sold in Russia even better than Kashkai), Nissan delayed a little: the American counterpart of the "cheat" called Rogue announced a facelift more than two years ago. However, the engineers did not waste time and were able to turn a banal restyling into a thorough modernization, making the crossover better in many respects. Against the background of the scale of the changes, the grown price looks moderate: 35 thousand rubles at the present time is quite a modest increase.
(3rd generation) is based on the CMF modular platform, which is a modern variation of the Nissan C platform. Most of the car body elements are made of high-strength steels, which significantly lighten the total weight of the structure. The curb weight of the crossover, depending on the modification, varies in the range of 1525-1675 kg.
The Russian specification Nissan X-Trail provides for the presence of three power units: two gasoline "aspirated" with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters (144 and 171 hp respectively), as well as a turbocharged diesel 1.6 dCi with a return of 130 hp. (320 Nm). Both gasoline engines were installed on the previous generation (X-Trail T31), however, during the update of the crossover, they were modernized, resulting in a slight increase in power. Together with the engine, either a 6-speed manual transmission or an XTronic variator, emulating seven ranges, can work. Along with the front-wheel drive layout, there is an all-wheel drive with an intelligent All Mode 4 × 4-i all-wheel drive system.
The SUV's suspension is a scheme with MacPherson struts and a rear multi-link, and each of the modifications has its own chassis settings. The basic volume of the trunk of the car is limited to 497 liters (with five seats), the maximum is 1585 liters (configuration with two front passengers and rear seat backs folded).
Fuel consumption of the Nissan X-Trail T32 with a 2.0 engine is 7.1-11.2 liters, depending on the modification and driving mode. An all-wheel drive crossover with a 2.5 engine burns about 8.3 liters of fuel on average. Diesel X-Trail is the most economical - consumption of no more than 5.3 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km of track in a combined driving cycle.

Engines Nissan X-Trail T32
1.6 dCi R9M 130 hp
The new turbodiesel Energy dCi 130 with the factory index R9M was developed by Renault-Nissan for the purpose of subsequent installation on its models. The production of the power unit was launched in 2011 in France. The engine belongs to a new generation of engines that are characterized by economy, high torque and low carbon dioxide emissions. The power unit is equipped with a Start / Stop system, a variable geometry compressor, a cold cycle exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and Direct Injection. The R9M cylinder block is made of cast iron, the cylinder head is made of aluminum, the pistons are graphite-coated.
The maximum torque of 320 Nm is reached at 1,750 rpm, while 80% of the peak torque is available already at 1,500 rpm. The engine complies with Euro 5 requirements, but is also prepared for the transition to Euro 6. The motor is also installed on cars, and.
2.0 MR20DD 144 HP
The MR20DD petrol engine is an upgraded MR20DE unit from the previous Ixtrail. During the upgrade, the engine was equipped with a variable valve timing system on both camshafts, an intake manifold with variable length and direct injection. As a result, the power increased from 141 to 144 hp and the torque increased from 196 to 200 Nm.
2.5 QR25DE 171 HP
The four-cylinder QR25DE engine is a real long-liver, since it appeared back in 1999 and was installed on the very first Nissan X-Trail. During its life, the unit has been repeatedly updated, having received another batch of innovations by the time the third generation of Ixtrail debuted. The motor has got a new block head with holes for injectors (previously the injectors were installed on the manifold), a system for changing the phases on the intake and exhaust valves, and an intake tract with an adjustable length. All this, combined with an increase in the compression ratio from 9.6 to 10.0, gave a gain of 2 hp. (171 against the previous 169 hp) At the same time, the peak engine torque shifted from 4400 to 4000 rpm.

All wheel drive Nissan X-Trail
Crossover Nissan Ixtrail is an original front-wheel drive vehicle with a rear axle plug-in. The main component of the All Mode 4 × 4-i system is an electromagnetic clutch installed in front of the rear differential. The all-wheel drive system can be controlled using a three-mode switch located on the center tunnel.
The "2WD" position provides for the clutch opening, but in this mode the crossover still does not become exclusively front-wheel drive. If the electronics deem it necessary, some of the effort will go to the rear axle, but still the connection will be reluctant. The "4WD" mode is suitable for almost any conditions, therefore, it will most likely be used by the owner most often. In this case, the rear axle is connected automatically when the front wheels slip. The ratio of the transmitted torque varies from 100: 0 to 50:50.
In the "Lock" mode, the maximum current is applied to the clutch solenoid, as a result of which the clutch is completely locked. In this case, the effort is distributed in a fixed ratio of 50:50, which is forcedly maintained when driving at speeds up to 40 km / h. Exceeding this speed limit leads to the transition to the "Auto" mode.
The all-wheel drive design does not provide for the presence of full-fledged locks for the front and rear differentials. Electronic imitation of cross-wheel locks is performed by braking a slipping wheel.
Children's sores Nissan X-Trail T32 (2013 - 2018, restyling 2017 - present).
So, we have before us the most criticized generation of Nissan X-trail, that is, the third and, at the moment, the last, and already presented in a light restyling. Something has changed, but something remains the same. The audience was initially biased towards the new generation, due to a completely different appearance. I often see comments like - "T31 is better than T32, because the 31st does not look like Nissan Qashqai like two peas in a pod." It turns out that the last X-trail has lost its individuality (that is, "brutality"), and it is now confused with the cheaper "Qashqai", which is not prestigious for many Russians. But the demand for crossovers is increasing every day, and the Nissan brand does not want to be an outsider, which can be seen in their lineup. Nissan has a crossover of every size and taste.
Personally, I like the T32 more than the T31. He looks more solid, larger. For rear passengers, the legroom has been increased, thereby reducing the trunk. Now X-trail can boast of modern options, displays, technologies. The front "torpedo" looked younger and kept up with the times, and not as before, as if it was borrowed from cars from the 80s. As for the "sores", the T32 inherited something from its predecessor, got its own, but fixed something, for example, the tailgate is now plastic, on the previous body it rusted. About sores a little later, now let's go over the technical part and the filling.
The petrol engines have added a bit of power. 2.0 liters began to produce 145 liters. s, and 2.5 l - 172 horsepower. Acceleration from the first to 100 km / h takes - 11.9 seconds, the mixed fuel consumption - 9.6 liters per 100 km, the second, respectively - 10.4 to the first hundred and 11 liters per hundred kilometers. The power of the "turbo-diesel" dropped to a modest 130 "horses", the volume is now 1.6 liters, acceleration to 100 km / h in 11 seconds, and the combined consumption is 6 liters. Six-speed "mechanics" is available for front-wheel drive vehicles or diesel, in other cases - only a variator. The traditional assault rifle is no longer present in any modification. The all-wheel drive scheme is the same - the rear axle is switched on through the clutch automatically or forcibly (works up to 40 km / h) with a key in the cabin. The impressive ground clearance for the crossover is 210 mm. But do not forget about the large overhang of the front bumper, which will reduce the angle of entry, but the imitation of the differential lock will help level the situation, because it works perfectly.
Basic equipment: dual-zone climate control, el. heated windshield, 6 airbags, el. heated and folding mirrors, stability control, cruise control, heated front seats, audio system with Bluetooth and USB-AUX.
In the maximum configuration (plus to the basic one): leather interior with heated all seats and steering wheel, light and rain sensor, a package of safety options (keeping in the lane, "blind spots", driver fatigue, automatic parking), LED optics, panoramic roof, electric ... tailgate drive (hands - free), keyless entry, all-round cameras, navigation system, el. seat drive.
Weaknesses of the third generation Nissan Ixtrail or what to look for when buying a used one.
About the sores of the transmission and engines (not a fact that they will appear, but it's worth reading), you can read in the predecessor - since the T32 is built on the same units. Here I tried to collect the problems of the last body.

Electrician |
|
| at subzero temperatures it is impossible to adjust the temperature of the climate control (it blows very hot, even at 16 degrees) - incorrect operation of the climate control control unit (RF assembly) | replace the control unit from a new revision, Nissan does not see this as a problem and refuses a guarantee, even in restyling the problem was not solved, only a few cases of replacing the unit under warranty were recorded, this problem occurs on almost every car |
| steering wheel icon is on, 4WD error, climate control does not turn on or turns on by itself - poor wiring contact | soldering of all connectors "CAN-bus", from 2017 a new block of "CAN-module" |
| error - "the key system is faulty or the key code is incorrect" | - change the battery in the key - do not keep the alarm key fob together with the standard key (system conflict is possible) - if you need to start the car - bring the key to the "start-stop" button - if all else fails - solder the CAN-bus connectors |
| squeak of the steering wheel when rotating (in cold weather) - poor-quality rubber band (between the shaft and the body) of the steering "cardan" | replace the gum with an upgraded one or lubricate the gap between the gum and the steering column (oil, lithol) |
| the paint on the steering wheel is quickly erased | paint or alter |
|
Suspension |
|
| the creak of the front shock absorbers on irregularities (more often at subzero temperatures) - the bumpers of the struts jump out of their regular places | lower the bumpers down the stem and lubricate them (lithol, silicone) or install modified |
| constantly peeling off the "Nissan" emblems on the radiator grille and tailgate | better to tint - than to change under warranty |
| a gap is formed between the windshield and the trim under the wipers | glue the cover on the "adhesive sealant" |
| "Cricket" in the tailgate | grease the trunk lock, wind electrical tape around the lock bracket |
| the bolts under the chrome trim of the tailgate are rusting | replace bolts with clips |
| the gap between the front bumper and the headlight - over time, the bumper sags and bends the mounts, since it is heavy | eliminate at the office. dealer or make fasteners from a turner (drawings are at the X-trail club, author -yarovoy) |
|
Engine (diesel) |

As you can see, the main ailments are savings. The problem is in the poor quality of the components, and not in the assembly of the car under "Peter". It is understandable, a spacious and well-equipped car, it costs less than the "Koreans". The manufacturer has to save money and subsequently, this is reflected in the brand's reputation. It seems like the Nissan X Trail is a set of compromises. And, with each new generation, there are more of these compromises. If you are periodically ready to run around the car with a can of silicone lubricant and manually operate the "automatic" climate control, you can consider the Ixtrail T32 for purchase. If you manage to buy a car under warranty, then "almost" all problems will be solved by the dealer, if you can, of course, prove to him that your case is under warranty.
But, before purchasing, be sure to diagnose the variator, and after buying, immediately change the oil in it (every 40 t.km). Perhaps the T32 will have new sores, the model is relatively recent on the Russian market, so do not hesitate to supplement.
Many SUV enthusiasts believe that a car should, with its brutal appearance, resemble a huge wardrobe on wheels. Therefore, they are dismissive of the glamorous and pretentious exterior solutions of modern crossovers. All of them, for sure, will be unpleasant to learn that another famous representative of purely male cars has fallen victim to marketing moves. The birth of a new (third in a row) generation Nissan X-Trail T32 is accompanied by a radical change in its image. Fans of chopped lines and ascetic archaism have nothing more to do while driving this "Japanese". From now on, he will be a typical representative of the kind of crossover, which is usually attributed to the premium segment. By the way, for the US market, the car is referred to as the Nissan Rogue.
The adherents of the old look of Nissan X-Trail, which by this time had survived a change of two generations and one restyling, had a bad feeling back in 2012, when the Japanese showed their conceptual Hi-Cross crossover at the Geneva motor show.
In parallel, the representatives of Nissan voiced the desire to give all their models similarity and corporate recognition. This suggested that it is unlikely that the expensive and chic, Nissan Pathfinder, or even more so Nissan Murano, will be modified, adjusting their looks to the canons of the old-fashioned appearance of the Nissan X-Trail. And all fears were confirmed at the presentation of the third generation of the X-Trail in Frankfurt, because the new product turned out to be a spacious, comfortable and very modern-looking crossover.
X-Trail will start producing in Russia in 2015
The new Nissan X-Trail, which caused its radical change of image among fans of expensive SUVs and connoisseurs of square SUVs, should begin to roll off the assembly line of the St. Petersburg plant of the Nissan company by mid-2015. In addition, this crossover will be produced in Indonesia in the city of Purwakarta and in Japan itself in the city of Kyushu for consumers from Europe and Asia.
The exterior of the third generation X-Trail
It is enough to look at the new product from the front to understand that the fashionable, slightly squinted headlights, decorated with LED strips of running lights, a V-shaped radiator grill with the Nissan logo and a massive bumper with a hood have completely changed the previously familiar rustic look of this car and gave it charisma and impudence.
In profile, the car looks expensive due to the perfectly drawn monumental wheel arches, stylish alloy wheels, embossed muscular fenders and the resulting visual sense of the waviness and bulge of the body silhouette. The rear is typical for crossovers: a laconic bumper, a dominant position of the tailgate in the form and a stylish spoiler and LED marker lights. The number of body color options is promised to be increased to eight.
The 2015 X-Trail SUV is based on the Japanese-French Common Module Family platform.
Its dimensions:
- length - 4640 mm;
- width - 1820 mm;
- height - 1715 mm;
- wheelbase - 2705 mm;
- clearance - 210 mm;
- distance between wheels - 1575 mm.
Interior of the new X-Trail 2015
It is enough to climb inside the third generation Nissan X-Trail to understand: the compact appearance of the body is just a design gimmick. The interior of the crossover is really spacious! Moving into the class of more expensive cars, the new X-Trail inside became similar to Infiniti. From him he took many design solutions and better and more expensive finishing materials.
The center console is adorned with a touchscreen display for the Nissan Connect infotainment system. Next to the multifunctional steering wheel, there is a dashboard, which also has a screen, although it is no longer a touchscreen and measuring only five 5-inches, but which cope with the function of bringing to the attention of the driver all the information coming from the on-board computer.
There is so much space in the cabin, but the designers have taken care of giving the rear row of seats mobility. It can be moved forward or backward depending on the need to increase the trunk or interior. Adjustable at the back row and backrest tilt. It is planned that one of the options will offer the buyer to purchase the 2015 Nissan X-trail crossover with an additional third (child) row of seats, which will make it a seven-seater. The panoramic roof, already familiar from the previous generation of this SUV, gives a special charm to the interior.
Nissan intends to release a new crossover with both front-wheel drive and a complete one in the form of the ALL MODE 4x4 plug-in system. The platform used rests on independent suspension with MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear.
Power steering will be electric, and disc brakes, both front and rear. The car is equipped with all modern active safety systems and the highest level of passive safety. Having an obedient steering wheel and a dense, even stiff suspension, the crossover is devoid of the danger of roll in a corner and is not subject, despite the high body, to windage in a crosswind. Noise and sound insulation of the interior space of the body is made at a level, because the model must confirm its claims for the premium segment.
2015 Nissan X-Trail T32 engine options:
- 1.6 liter 130-horsepower diesel engine that accelerates the car to a hundred in 11 seconds, provides a maximum speed of 186 km / h and consumes 5.3 liters of fuel on an average cycle.
