This is interesting – we spotted an ad for the 2015 Nissan X-Trail on our sister classifieds site oto.my. The third-generation SUV, which made its ASEAN debut in Indonesia in September, was advertised to arrive in early January, less than two months from now.
According to the description, the locally-assembled X-Trail will come in two variants – a sub-RM150k front-wheel drive 2.0 litre model and a sub-RM170k four-wheel drive 2.5 litre. The outgoing X-Trail is only sold here in 2.0 litre 2WD form, currently retailing at RM148,815 on the road without insurance, so expect the base model of the new car to have a similar price tag.

Standard equipment, at least on the top-spec model, is said to include keyless entry and start, a navigation system, cruise control and leather seats. At the moment, it is unclear if these variants are five- or seven-seater models (the current X-Trail is only sold here in a five-seater format).
The two powertrains available will be 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. Unlike in Indonesia – where the 2.0 litre model was available with a six-speed manual – we’re expecting the X-Trail to arrive with an Xtronic CVT as standard.

What is MOST important is where is Najib’s promise to reduce car prices by 30%? At RM150k, this car is still very expensive in Malaysia. It is an affordable car in the US as it is priced around US$23,600 (with a 4.0 pumping put 261 bhp)
More than a year ago, Najib promised every single of the 30 million Malaysians that he would reduce car prices by 30% if we voted for him and his BN party before the elections.
Najib swore that BN always kept their promises and we Malaysians had nothing to worry about BN not keeping their word. He told us not to trust Pakatan and he firmly said he would match Pakatan’s manifesto of reducing car prices by 30%.
More than a year has passed, nothing has reduced. Infact, car prices have gone up!
How can we trust Najib, BN and UMNO if basic promises like this they cannot keep? This is just a basic and simple promise. What about bigger promises of tackling corruption, improving healthcare and education?
Has Najib lied to us?
How to buy at RM150,000? Government should reduce because Tan Chong cost is so cheap. In CKD form, the car is probably less than US$15,000
78.6% of all EPF contributors still earn RM3000 and below. (That is from RM500 to RM2999). This was announced by Raja Nazrin recently quoting EPF data.
He was proving the Government wrong as the Government again lied to the people that we are on our way to earn GDP Per Capita of US$48,000 per annum by 2020. That is US$4000 (RM13,000) per month by 2020, which is 6 years time.
Raja Nazrin, Sultan of Perak refuted the governments claim and openly declared EPF figures that 78.6% of all EPF contributors still earn RM3000 and below.
He also said 2 million households earn RM5000 and below which Raja Nazrin said was Government statistics.
So, how can people afford cars costing more than RM100,000? Why is it just exclusive to high income earners?
Do you think average gaji of Malaysians will go up to RM13,000 in 6 years time?
Go to other forum for this.
Why buy this apek contractor car? CX5 with more advanced engine is RM137k. Engine so advanced that is at par with diesel.
Xtrail will always be a contractor car. An Apek car. It will always be in construction sites and driven by apeks who dig their nose, put toothpick in their teeth whilst driving and at traffic lights, the owner will take 2 ten sen coin and use it to cabut his facial hair.
Why are you so well versed with those apek things? Mesti apek commenting about apek.
I suggest that you buy a new car during end of year. Got discount, rebate meh. Plus even without gov promises, car companies can reduce their vehicles prices. Should we blamed these car companies instead for selling higher prices in the beginning?
I saw exactly the same comments in toyota page a few days ago…i guess you are honda/mazda/kimchi salesman…
Dislikes more than likes. Unbelievable. More ppl like to buy car with inflated prices. No wonder the gov keep lying to Malaysians.
Saw one recently on LDP. It was all covered up in black cladding. Sorry didnt have time to whip out the phone to take pictures. I really don’t understand the need for the secrecy when pictures of the same car (in other countries) are everywhere on the internet.
yucks… Iriz dashboard way better than this RM150k car!
Ff sub 150K & 170K is the price. It is on the high side if volume game is what TC is looking at a CKD unit. Santa Fe with better spec would make a better choice as both brand do not common good RV. Lets wait for the official prices as well as specs in Jan 15 then.
SantaFe has great spec list but the 2 airbags are huge dissapointement… If X-trail is going to continue the spec list found in Teana and Sylphy, I think X-Trail will be a better pick…
Teana and Sylphy better specced? The 4 inch stream with no Navigation? Is it the fact that it doesn’t have a sunroof? Or start/stop? Or auto-wiper? Or LED running light?
What exact is so good about TC product Mr. TC salesman.
At this price, the C4 Grand Picasso is a better deal than the X-trail. All of the above checked. Plus active safely line lane assist, 360 camera and such. 7 seat? Check. More airbags than the Slyphy and Teana combined? Check. And all for the top spec X-trail + 10K. Do not buy this crap.
UMW and TCM needs to wake up. The days of raking in the dough with substandard spec is over. Please catch up with the times and start giving Malaysian what they pay for.
This model has quite a decent spec list in other markets so will there be hope in TCM to spec is correctly especially for the 2.0l model? They have to understand most people do not need a 2.5l engine since its only meant to ferry people around and most of these will not even enter the jungle at all hence the 2.0l will be the volume seller.
Good design improvements but yet, not so appealing..
Korean suvs’design are much more attractive..
please please please come with 6airbags please please please!
how cheap u put your price.. if only 2airbags.. will be the next ASX or XV.. how much discount they offered..people will still ignore.. see how good cx5 selling now..or even sportage..
Most car dealers think Malaysian have no left foot.
crv cx5 asx >>sub 140k
xtrail 150k?
ugly steering wheel.
Junk Sportage & Tucson sales will go down the drain for sure.
Looking at the interior..I don’t think so
This fellow always condemning Korean cars. If it is true, how come Hyundai is the 4th largest car seller in the world? Last year alone they sold near 10 million cars?
So who to trust? 10 million people just last year alone or a faggot who calls himself HyundaiKiaLaJunk?
nice look.. nice design.. well specced.. but if the 2.0 2WD variant has only 2 airbags, i rather go for Mazda CX-5 2WD high spec which is priced at 145k..
interior looks so ugly meh…I know it made from cheap material but please don’t make it look too cheap
Some SUV buyer need more power and Rear Wheel Drive but many buyer just use it for go to work than off roading.For petrolheads we should just wait for new Ford Everest.
150K? ueeeeeekkk ETCM you may keep your SUV.
To all those potential buyers out there, hold on to your purchase for at least 6 months to a year and see if the car prices comes down on it’s own.
Don’t wait for Najib cause as long as Proton and Mahatir
around that is not going to happen.
Bro, the new second generation Qashqai/Dualis is totally same as Xtrail and only some minor cosmetic different between them.
I dare Nissan to disclose their current 2.0l 2WD Xtrail sale performance. I guess Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson registered more cars than the rare Xtrail.
This SUV got fresh look compare to the previous model. The look assamble to its sibling the Qashqai. but qashqai more handsome and pack with better accessories. Sadly No Qashqai for Malaysia Market due to fuel requirement..
the top deciding factor is it a 7-seater ??
Yup, 7 seater is one of the key factor. Nice to have it to ferry extended families when needed.Down side will be the 2 airbag & price tag. Factor that will put off many buyers.
I really can’t understand the car that merely RM100K in Indonesia appreciated to almost 50% when reach our shore.
2.0l 2WD variant should be under RM120K. 2.0l 4WD no more dearer than RM130K and 2.5l 2WD must be sub-RM145K.
NO POINT TO CKD THE CAR IF THE PRICE A WAY DEARER THAN INDONESIA.
Even Inokom-assembled facelift Elantra cheaper up to RM30K in Thailand why should a Nissan dare to put RM45-50K+ dearer?
Nissan’s RV better than Toyota-Nissan? Really pathetic to witness no sign of proprice drop but price hikes instead for nmost of our cars.
Nissan car always so ugly… but seems like Malaysia have a huge Nissan fan base, no matter how ugly is their car, still a lot of people will buy. Look at the car carefully, there’s no innovation at all in their design and with that kind of high price tag, better get CX-5 with better engine and looks.
aikz… 2.0 only available in 2WD?! T_T
yes, pls bring in the same or similar spec like teana or sylphy for 2.0 for 6 air bag, VSC, leather, rear aircon, rear camera, 7 seaters would be better which diff with CRV & Cx5, if all the specs got, it will hot to have one.
with reference to their latest sylphy and teana… i believe that that had greatly improve their design and quaities… and their specs are awsome as well… lets stay positive and wait for this vehicles.
