The Nissan X-Trail Hybrid has been launched in Japan. This third-gen T32 gets a 2.0 litre MR20DD engine with Intelligent Dual Clutch Control – Nissan’s one-motor, two-clutch parallel hybrid system.
The petrol engine has been optimised for the hybrid system by adopting a low-friction oil seal and ditching the auxiliary belt. Its output figures differ slightly from our MR20DD – 147 PS at 6,000 rpm and 207 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm, which is slightly higher. The RM31 electric motor (that’s its code-name, not how much it costs!) joins in with 41 PS and 160 Nm of twist.
Allied to low-rolling resistance rubber, a 20.6 km per litre JC08 economy figure is claimed, as well as 75% lower NOx and NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbon) emissions over 2005 standards and SU-LEV certification.
The two clutches mentioned in this system aren’t a dual-clutch transmission. The X-Trail uses an Xtronic CVT gearbox. The two clutches refer to the clutch between the engine and the electric motor, and the clutch between the electric motor and the Xtronic CVT.
This setup allows electric-only driving and energy regeneration because the electric motor can power the wheels through the gearbox while leaving the engine disconnected.
Nissan claims the lithium-ion battery can quickly charge and discharge, allowing precise control of the electric motor and clutch operation. Because of the battery’s location, the boot swallows over 400 litres (our non-hybrid X-Trail can take 550 litres).
Available in an X-Trail for the first time is NissanConnect Navigation System with smartphone link (can display phone apps), while Forward Emergency Braking is standard across the range.
20X Hybrid 2WD, 20X Hybrid 4WD, 20X Hybrid Xtreamer-X 4WD and 20X Hybrid Black Xtreamer-X 4WD variants are offered in Japan, priced between 2.8 million and 3.2 million yen (RM85k-97k). All have five seats – our X-Trail is the seven-seat version.

Very underrated car, deserves more attention than the CRV
Seats seven people but with only two airbags, ya underrated
lol CRV comes with four airbags, not exactly a far cry from 2, take that 2 extra airbags and shove it up your a*s
You should check out Subaru xv, the awd rated the best in UK, defeated 4 magic, and other awds. Only matchable opponent is Acura sh-awd. https://youtu.be/ooQRxlChvMw
Yess, muscle image & history, now updated with urban element suitable for men & ladies-
compare to CRV & CX5- likely for ladies or softhand man only.
Buy Toyota better, good RV.
Latest Camry hybrid booking: 72
72 only? a long way to go my fren..72 vs 7000 booking. but seriously camry hybrid no resale value. you want a second hand hybrid? prepare to fork rm20k for battery replacement
What a joke.72?Proton have received 17,000 booking of the Iriz two weeks before the launch.And now the booking is getting higher.
Proton already released 19,000 Iriz to its owner.Same LOrrr,haiz.
sohai hor shen hau , ppl talking booking Camry high grade luxury car but u compare low grade iriz car.
u SHOULD HAVE COMPARE LUXURY CAR OF PROTON LA SOHAI
like proton perdana or accordana etc
If Iriz is selling so well, Proton doesn’t need to give RM8888 discount.
Simple logic.
He means undergarment sales today. He is really shy so he put Camry name
No resale value…better choose Toyota or Honda Suv..
in be4 why tan chong no assembly this instead of giving super-expensive leaf
anything with 2 clutches.. too complex…prone to fail, repair cost gonna suicide the owner..
I’d wait for Xtrail nismo version in red
