Recently, Autralia’s Best Car judge said of Nissan’s
new X-Trail: “The vehicle now strikes that often difficult-to-achieve
balance between on-road drivability and off-road performance,
while providing high degree of refinement, comfort, safety
and quality in a package that abounds in practical features.”
Now in Nigeria, courtesy of Alliance Autos Nigeria Limited,
the all-new X-Trail is compact, powerful and impressively
rugged. And it’s at home anywhere you are: An open freeway,
a challenging 4WD incline, or a busy inner-city motorway.
With 226Nm of grunty torque, fuel efficiency, 2,000kg of braked
towing capacity and intelligent, ALL MODE 4x4-I technology,
the X-Trail sets new standards in both everyday and adventure
motoring.
The culmination of 50 years of Nissan 4WD experience and heritage,
this power- packed machine has everything you need for serious,
off-road exploration: A tough 2.5 litree engine, an optional
Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission and state-of- the-art
safety features. And it’s itching to explore the open
road. Are you?
Riding inside the new X-Trail is a true pleasure. The open
windows flood the cabin with sunlight – especially in
the Ti, with its extra-wide sunroof. The sleek console and
dash is angled for your split second driver comprehension.
And the interior is packed with modern features such as cooling/warming
drink holders, a CD-player, folding rear seats, a removable
and washable rear luggage board and an innovative storage
drawer system.
Seating configuration
New 40/20/40 folding rear seat adds extra versatility and
storage space. Allows longer cargo (such as skis) to be posted
through the rear seats, while still fitting 2 passengers in
the rear. Premium interior materials, gained plastics and
soft surfaces in contrasting shades are used throught the
cabin. Liberal use of chrome and silver-colour finishes. Innovative
drawer system/cargo area.
A unique and handy storage drawer slides out from below the
raised rear cargo floor. Removable partition walls in the
drawer can be positioned as required to section off areas.
A compartment alongside the drawer is big enough to hold two
briefcases or a suit carrier. Cargo hooks and tie-down points
secure your luggage. Removable washable luggage board cargo
floor is finished in a tough, easy to clean plastic surface.
Can be easily removed, hosed down and re-inserted. Large storage
spaces.
Dash-top storage box. Larger glovebox. Seatback storage. Power
outlets.
Two 12-volt power outlets: One that doubles as a cigarette
lighter, while the other dislocated in the rear cargo area.
