The third-gen Nissan X-Trail, which broke cover at the Frankfurt show in September, turned up at the ongoing Tokyo show. It’s set to go on sale in Japan next month, and an MR20DD engine is mentioned, along with a revised Xtronic CVT with Eco mode, plus start/stop.
Although Nissan hasn’t officially revealed output figures, we know the MR20DD engine as a direct-injected 2.0 litre four-cylinder featuring twin C-VTC that produces 147 hp and 210 Nm of torque in the Serena S-Hybrid. Underpinning the X-Trail is the Common Module Family (CMF) platform.
Known variants include 20S, 20X, 20X Emergency Brake Package, 20X X-TREMER X and 20X Emergency Brake Package X-TREMER X. Five- and seven-seat versions are available. The X-TREMER X variants are produced by Nissan tuner Autech, and feature contrasting-coloured skid plates, a more prominent lower intake and fog lamp housings, as well as sportier-looking alloys.
The Emergency Brake Package variants get Lane Departure Warning, Emergency Assist for Pedal Misapplication, Emergency Brake, Do-not-enter Sign Detection. Blind Spot Warning, Driver Attention Alert, plus Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection and Park Assist are offered as options.
LED headlamps are also optional, as are side and curtain airbags (dual front airbags are standard). Standard safety equipment includes VDC with TCS and Brake LSD, plus two-stage load-limiting front seat belts with pretensioners. Seven body colours are offered.
Five-seat versions get 60:40-split second row seats; on seven-seat versions they’re split 40:20:40, and can slide as well as recline. A panoramic tilt-and-slide sunroof with electric retractable shade is optional, and front seat heaters are available on select variants.
There are more storage spaces and cupholders, and Spinal Support Front Seats claim to reduce fatigue through articulated seat back pads. The seats and floor are water-repellent. You can open the powered tailgate by waving your hand near the sensor (provided you have your Intelligent Key with you) to reveal a boot that can take up to 550 litres of luggage.
Some variants are 2WD, but Nissan’s All-Mode 4x4i electronic 4WD system is also offered, along with Advance Hill Descent Control and Yaw Moment Control. Hill Start Assist, Active Ride Control, Active Engine Brake and Cornering Stability Assist are standard across the range.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
this design is so much nicer than current X-Trail!
by the time it reach malaysia in 2020, it will be outdated..
Dont worry, ETCM will launch this 8 years time, when a newer X trail comes out. Pity Nissan owners, always given rubbish overseas meant for third world. Nissan Malaysia and ETCM help Japanese make Malaysia a dumping ground for old cars.
Nissan got it right with 7 seater as an option.
7 seater is more versatile as compared to existing CRV/Mazda CX5.
And TCM will launch this in 2020 and ask for a premium selling price
But still cannot beat the mighty Sportage.
Rear looks like harrier..
this new 2 litre direct injection engine should be good…I hope the car will weigh atleast under 1500kg.., around or under 1400kg is even better, though unlikely..
Nissan X-Trail 20X Emergency Brake Package X-TREMER X. Probably, the longest name for a car on sale today.
in short, Nissan X-Trail XXX
ya, i think they should have come up with a shorter name. it does remind me of what BMW is calling its SUVs these days…….but nissan manage to make it even longer still!
Those variant names….especially the last one. How are they gonna fit it on the car guide?
sleek and stunning, in my humble opinion.
look wise, much better than current CRV and RAV4
coming next year….hehehehehe.
Oh look…the rear lid has a button for push to close but I think very likely will be gone by the time this vehicle reaches the Malaysian market?
Nice design in and out, but then tan chong lagendary lateness such a big dissapointment..
when the car lands in malaysia, TC will:
1. remove as much goodies as can from the car
2. jack up the car price higher than other country
3. at the same time, clearing old stock for japan…
Who to blame? Sucker malaysian themselves…
The design looks balance, not to curvy neither to cubicle.
This is the nail in the coffin for kimchi suv’s like Tucson and Spotage.
the tucson is now updated with new Nu engine…i think its the same engine found in I40…at rm132K it should give a good fight to xtrail and crv which are normally priced around 150K. but this is one handsome xtrail…miles ahead of the 2nd gen design
Yeah the next gen of Malaysian “car enthusiast” will complain whichever car company that does not include Do Not Enter Sign Detection as standard because it’s a safety feature.
People are getting more stupid by the day and need features like these to keep them breathing
It will be a hit in Japan, no doubt. Unlike in Malaysia, the Japanese loves Nissan as it is the second preferred brand after Toyota. Even with the current boxy X-trail, it is no.3 after CX-5 and Forrester in last month SUV sales list.
The new Harrier next month will be Toyota’s pre-emptive act.
Really handsome fella.. sure will be a hit, if it reaches here ON TIME.. but before that, ETCM, where is the new Slyphy ? Even that is nowhere to be seen…
come on ETCM…lift your big fat a** from that chair and please bring this x-trail to our shore, at least mid of next year. I’m upgrading to a mid-size SUV and it’s good to know there is still another option to consider. If not I would just get the CX-5 then.
The seat cover looks cheap…
Oh yes !!!! It finally looks MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the current weird-ish looking X-Trail. Good job Nissan !!!
now we can talk about Nissan…
nice SUV mr.goshn…
The taillights looks similar with the 2nd gen Harrier.
is it just me or does the new X trail remind you of Dualis/Qashqai too?
I had to do a double-take when I read the part that it comes standard with 2 airbags only, in Japan. Seriously ?!
