Spotted at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2014 was the new third-generation Nissan X-Trail. Assembled in Cikampek, West Java, the Japanese seven-seater SUV made its debut in the archipelago a couple of weeks ago, making Indonesia the first country in ASEAN to receive it (the car was also launched in the Philippines last week).
Looking pretty much like a stretched Qashqai, the X-Trail features Nissan’s latest design language, with its “V-Motion” grille, slim headlights, D-pillar kink, C-shaped tail lights and assortment of sweeps and curves.
The interior will be familiar to anyone who’s driven the Teana, except for the standard third-row seats. Our man Danny Tan – who was at the show – says the seating arrangement is more 5+2, as the rear-most seats are only really suited for children.
Two four-cylinder petrol engine choices are available – a Serena S-Hybrid-derived MR20DD 2.0 litre direct-injected mill developing 144 PS and 200 Nm, as well as a QR25DE 2.5 litre MPI motor from the Teana that produces 171 PS and 233 Nm. The former is available with either a six-speed manual or an Xtronic CVT, the latter only available with the Xtronic. Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels.
Standard on all models are LED daytime running lights, auto headlamps and Active Ride Control. The 2.0 CVT adds self-levelling full-LED headlamps, auto wipers, heated door mirrors, keyless entry, push-button start, power-operated front seats, an Around View Monitor and an ECO mode switch, while the 2.5 is the only one with cruise control, 18-inch wheels (other models get 17’s), leather seats and dual-zone climate control.
Safety-wise, the Indonesian X-Trail comes with just dual airbags, but it also comes standard with ABS with EBD and brake assist, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Hill Start Assist, Active Trace Control (called Active Understeer Control on Malaysian-market Teana models) and ISOFIX child seat anchors on the second row bench. The 2.5 also benefits from Active Engine Braking.
Prices start at Rp. 383 million (RM103,300) for the 2.0 litre manual, rising to Rp. 413 million (RM111,300) for the CVT-equipped 2.0 litre and Rp. 431.5 million (RM116,900) for the 2.5 litre model. Five colours are available – Premium Bronze Metallic, Floral White, Phantom Black, Smokey Grey Metallic and Diamond Silver Metallic.
Malaysian distributor Edaran Tan Chong recently announced that the X-Trail will make its way to our shores by the end of the year, locally-assembled and ready to take on the Honda CR-V, the Mazda CX-5, the Ford Kuga and the seven-seater Chevrolet Captiva.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Bring it here TC.
Hope will price below CR-V and CX-5.
Bolehland crazy taxes.
Why is that that most cars arrive in Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia first before Malaysia? If i understand correctly, they too assemble the cars locally, so why are we always last?
because their TIV is bigger than our malaysian TIV…and furthermore, we have restrictions here there, tax here there, whereas other country does not have that
That you need to ask the dealers and MAA/MAI so their will answer your question.
Or just bolehland standard of doing “FAST” job DONE.
malaysia last cos the price of the car need review by many side n many times by???
example p1,p2,drb-hicom,umw n more
What a disgrace. All new cars are being launched in either Thailand and Indonesia. Malaysia has become a pariah country now. Thank you MAI for losing so much business to Thailand and Indonesia. Both these countries are getting billions in investments whilst Malaysia gets ZERO.
Bunch of idiots in MAI and MITI. Malaysia was heading to be the Detroit of Asia in the 90s, all these lost because of crony practices of MITI and MAI
This means MAI and MITI are doing a good job. Protection for P1 and P2.
The Ah pek has finally grown younger! Bring it on, ah chek’s car.
Come to papa..
no auto aircon..
I dont see why auto aircon is a good system because eventually, you will feel cold and has to adjust it manually. And it is very simple to do that, no?
Dual-zone automatic climate control is available on the 2.5 litre model.
yah, u must be blind to miss the sentence ” dual zone aircond are standard on all model”
It is sold RM100k+ in Indonesia, how much it gonna be in Malaysia?
Thanks to Proton and its Protection!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks to proton? How many cars proton sold compare to perodua? You should say thanks to perodua.
Add another 40K++ for the duties. .if CKD..
Cbu.. no way..160-180K…
kalu ini OTR rm100k, saya musti beli,konfrem!
konpom awak takkan beli sbb harganyer konpom 150k ke atas. haha
Nice car better than CRV n CX5 from the outlook not comparing spec yet. But by knowing TCM dono wat they going to take out n less out to price it correctly and mayb it only come to m’sia on 2018 to sell us old model and get better profit………. Just like serena 1st launch CBU
Let’s see wat TCM going to do ……..
TCM did spec the Teana correctly and the price is competitive comparing to the Accord and Camry so I hope they keep up with the good work when this X-Trail launches here in Bolehland.
Let’s hope TCM does not push customers to get the high spec 2.5 model just to have the 6 airbags and auto aircond. They should spec a high spec 2.0 with those fitted as standard for those who do not want a 2.5 enginw.
Bro, dream on, look at CRV, you need to buy the 2.4 to get the goodies like keyless entry, push start button, paddle shift, multimedia audio etc.
this xtrail already close to masspro stage in TCM…will probably launch in nov
Well by the time it arrives Malaysia it will be 140k as compared to 111k in Indonesia, thanks to all the AP and Proton. Anyway, this should give CRV, CX-5 a good competition plus this is a 7 seater, price it right it should do quite well
the pricing is crucial.
from recent climate, any numbers sold there, cannot be of any benchmark over here. for example suprima is sold at 285 juta rupiah or equivalent of bracket 85-90k, and preve is at 90k RM equivalent of the rupiah.
the axia price on the other hand, is spot on. there it is sold as the daihatsu ayla, and be priced as low as 24k RM equivalent of the rupiah. and that ayla / axia here is at 24-25k more or less.
so if the trend continues, so i figure over here it is going to in the 120k-130k bracket for the 2.0 litres.
“Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels.”
WHY LIKE THAT?
Tan Chong will shoot themselves again to launch under specs xtrail with not even 4×4 underpowered and big time under specs car… The first generation was fantastic, the second one was a sore loser SUV. TC better gets it right this time…
Too sporty for ahpek. No thank you.
Wow, they have manual versions there? and nicely specced too. I wished Malaysia wouldn’t just forsake manual users. Bring in more manual cars M’sia! Come on! Imagine how good the Golf or any car for that matter would actually be with a manual option! =(
More proof that Nissan has finally got its design $#/+ together. Good show. No more kooky looking movers.
hahaha front like a new version navara…. blakang looks like toyota harrier…..
…to Malaysia Tan Chong and watch as your sale plunge to record low.
You know you want to.
Some will say..
This is not JDM.. not made in Japan..
TC copy Indon.. bla bla..
Hahaha. ..
Motorhead will say it’s CBU, original from Japan.
Ohh.. please when did I said that? Not that stupid.. sucker.
Perodua untung… capitalists.. you said…
Hahaha.
Oh.. you talking about M3?.. yep.. its cbu from Japan bartbodo..
http://paultan.org/2014/03/19/mazda-3-launch/
Eh baru tau cari sendiri? Hahahaha.
Understand the “will” , it’s not happening yet. You just overacted
Then how’s about your stupidity on cbu?
It’s YOU not me.
This xtrail already CKD by TCM…have two spec eng 2.0 & 2.5….now close to masspro already. But..the tailgate is plastic..hmmm
why A/T got a clutch pedal?
that is the parking brake genius
i just don’t get it….
It’s a footbrake….function like a handbrake….get it
Did i see wrongly?? There isnt any leg space AT ALL for the third row!!!
You saw wrongly. Even Car magazine of the UK mentioned that the X-Trail is the ONLY Suv from Japan with actual sized seats for adults at the third row. Wait till u see the car here.
3rd row seat got AC?
Will you seat at the 3rd row if Nissan install an AC?
it’s not worth for AC.
The seat did not pass for the ergonomic.
2WD SUV, most people will opt for HRV high spec with 6 airbags + ESP at RM110k. Don’t be overconfident with your ‘7-seater’ with 2 airbags, since the new Innova 2WD is much more spacious and cheaper, below RM120K, and has less chances of having rattling sounds when still new. Both Honda and Toyota have better resale values, which make them ~ 10% cheaper than their apparent prices (RM150K 4WD-CRV is equivalent to 4WD-X-Trail at RM135K, or Sportage at RM125K).
CX-5 and HRV(nice silver colour), to me, are still more cantiq.
So please do your marketing properly, look at the price of high-spec HRV first since you are 2 wheel drive.
Teana specs is good, pricing not bad.
Why so cheap want in Indonesia? RM117k for 2.5L?
It is because in Bolehland government needs to protect proton and perodua. I’m quite sure we can get cheaper cars if these two never appear in our country.
manual in a suv…unthinkable in malaysia
Qashqai mana?! TC?! You sleeping ah?!
Qashqai is a UK design Nissan for Europe market. Asia got Xtrail which is Japan design copy cat of Qashqai. Wake up dude
why cant bring here? japan last time got dualis..tan chong tak bawa…juke come out..tan chong tak bawa….gtr tak bawa…370z coupe tak bawa…
First version 2.5 last time 190hp
where is the 4X4-i dial button photo? the dial that driver can select 2WD or 4WD
Interior looks blunt and boring…like China made car…center dash looks made by cheap plastic
The front looks elegant but the ass and the interior need improvements. Just like a beautiful lady wearing pasar malam undies and her ass shape looks bad..Hope TC will do something on the interior for the Malaysian version.
will wait & see it price when it comes to Mlaysia..reasonable or not..
I doubt if TC can price it below CKD CX5. If yes, there is chance people consider it… otherwise why border.
Based on comparison to those launched price in Thai in Indon, vs launched price here. Top up 35-45% is very likely when they hit our shore… we poor Malaysia… paying so much redundant taxes..
will tc bring in the diesel turbo 1.6 version ?
