After much anticipation, Nissan has finally launched the X-Trail SUV in the Indian market. Shipped in as a CBU, the SUV carries with it a hefty Rs 49.92 lakh (ex-showroom, India) introductory price tag, making it significantly more expensive than similarly sized rivals. Solely offered in seven-seat guise, the SUV is available with only a turbo-petrol engine in the Indian market. With the launch of the X-Trail, Nissan’s portfolio, which for the longest time only consisted of the Magnite, finally has another model on sale in India.
