Nissan India has released the first teaser of its upcoming X-Trail SUV, which will go up against the Jeep Compass, Hyundai Tucson, Skoda Kodiaq, Volkswagen Tiguan and Citroen C5 Aircross. The model was last showcased alongside the Qashqai and Juke in late 2022. The company will bring in the fourth-generation of the Nissan X-Trail in India via the CBU (completely built-up unit) route under the government’s new homologation policy. That means, limited units of the SUV will be sold nationwide. Read: New Nissan Magnite Facelift – Launch & Key Details
The latest teaser shows the SUV’s front V-Motion grille with the new 2D Nissan badge and headlamps with split pattern, LED DRLs and a clamshell bonnet. There will be a radar module placed in the lower section of the grille confirming presence of Nissan Shield 360 ADAS suite. The higher trims will come with the new 19-inch alloy wheels. The overall length, width and height of the upcoming Nissan SUV stand at 4680mm, 2065mm, and 1725mm, respectively. It has a wheelbase of 2705mm.
The global-spec Nissan X-Trail comes with a host of features including Nissan Connect telematics, a 360 degree camera, multi zone climate control, ventilated seats and Google-based software with an integrated Google suite of apps. While the high trims will come with the free-standing 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, the lower variants will get an 8-inch info unit and smaller instrument console. As of now, there is no clarity whether these features will be offered on the India-spec X-Trail or not.
Specifications are yet to be announced officially. However, the media reports suggest that the X-trail will be offered with a single 1.5L, 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine. The motor, paired to a CVT automatic gearbox and AWD setup, delivers a claimed power of 204bhp and 305Nm of torque. In India, the SUV won’t get mild or strong hybrid powertrains. Rumour has it that Nissan might consider introducing its strong hybrid version at a later stage.
