Aside from the all-new Nissan Leaf, the facelifted X-Trail and Qashqai were also on display at the recent Singapore Motor Show. Both models made their launch debuts in the republic last year in October and September, respectively.
Starting with the X-Trail, the SUV now features a bolder V-Motion grille and new bumper design. There’s also new lighting clusters, which incorporate “boomerang” LED daytime running lights. The LED headlights are standard on the sole 2.0L 4×4 variant offered there, and come with Nissan’s Adaptive Front Lighting System.
At the rear, the bumper has been redesigned with new chrome detailing, and the taillights are now fully LED units. Other exterior features here include a powered panoramic sunroof and tailgate, roof rails and 19-inch wheels.
The cabin now comes with a new D-shaped steering wheel that incorporates new four-way controllers as well. Leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control and a touchscreen infotainment system are all standard on this variant.
The X-Trail also benefits from the Nissan Intelligent Mobility suite of systems, which include autonomous emergency braking and around view monitor. Safety wise, there’s six airbags, hill start assist, Vehicle Dynamic Control and Nissan’s Chassis Control – Intelligent Trace Control, Intelligent Engine Brake and Intelligent Ride Control.
A MR20DD 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol engine provides motivation here, serving up 144 PS at 6,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. An X-Tronic CVT automatic is paired with the mill, along with an All-Mode 4×4-i system.
Next up is the updated Qashqai, which also comes with a number of visual enhancements. It too comes with a new V-Motion grille, flanked by standard LED headlights with new LED DRLs and Adaptive Front Lighting System.
Elsewhere, crossover gains restyled bumpers at the front and rear, new “boomerang” graphics for the LED taillights. On the inside, the Qashqai also receives a new D-shaped steering wheel, just like the X-Trail.
The Qashqai is availble in three variants in Singapore – 1.2L DIG-T Lite, 1.2L DIG-T Premium and 2.0L Premium. The first two employs a HRA2 1.2 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol powerplant with 155 PS at 5,200 rpm and 165 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm. Drive goes to the front via an X-Tronic CVT.
As for the range-topping 2.0L Premium, it gets the same MR20DD mill and CVT found in the X-Trail, although it is strictly a front-wheel powertrain. The 1.2L variants comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, while the 2.0L unit is fitted with 19-inch units.
Equipment wise, the 2.0L variant gets the most goodies, including a motion-activated powered tailgate (also found on the X-Trail), dual-zone climate control, powered seats, keyless entry and start, electronic parking brake, Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, high beam assist and rear cross traffic alert.
The X-Trail has a starting price of SG$136,800 (RM408,660), while the Qashqai is priced at SG$106,800 (RM319,353) for the base variant, SG$109,800 (RM328,047) for the mid-range variant and SG$131,800 (RM394,108) for the 2.0L – prices are without COE.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Rm410k for Xtrail and not yet add 10X COE. SG most exp car price in universe.
Deswai Edaran TanChong gips XTrail harge meleleh, RM128,880… konpem buy lor.
Our price is Super Expensive. More expensive than even Singapore.
look at the CHR, in Singapore, the price is only SGD65k plus SGD35k for COE. In total, only SGD100k. This price in a country where the average Gomen servant earns SGD5000 per month.
In Malaysia, Putrajaya Government Servant earns RM1200. The CHR is RM146k
Which is more expensive? Car price SGD100k (gaji SGD5000) or RM146k (gaji RM1200)???
In SG, most people use MRT even when they earn SGD5000. In MY, we buy P1/P2 when we earn RM5000
Why MY buy car instead of using MRT/LRT ??
In SG, for RM410k+ 10X COE u only get an Xtrail
In MY, for a little bit more at RM486k, u can get a GLE.
Which is richer for same money?
In USA, RM180k u can get a GLE.
Which is richer for less money?
In USA. Sure, a country where people are far more likely to be shot, live in poverty, get no healthcare because they’re poor, get no paid parental leave or subsidized daycare and see fewer women gov.
Nissan Qashqai wud be close rival to the CH-R, Sportage and 3008 in Bolehland
if the price is right and good equipment..sure ok. or else definitely got chopped by crv.
Plzzz bring in Qashqai into Mesia market!!!
i already saw a few qashqai at malaysia with m’sia number plate..and the owner also malaysian
Habis la boyue…
Not 7seater. Habis la qashqai…
Tak pe..ramai je pegawai gomen nak rase rase duduk dlm boyue, inspira pun dah lame tak update…
recon unit maybe. if qashqai in..xtrail definitely out. basically both are the same except 5 vs 7 seater. but qashqai got no rear aircond.
Qashqai to malaysia please.
new interior is impressive!
looks compact..better rival for crv (jap vs jap). current extrail is not that bad..but spec wise a bit poor and 7 seater (suv 7 seater is not that spacious).
No point hoping, ETCM have no idea how to sell facelifted cars. The X-Trail and Teana will probably never be facelifted here in Malaysia. ETCM sucks.
Malaysia should sell qashqai too n compete with other compact suvs. Surely they can sell easily well here. Too many hrv here n the toyota ch-r too cramp in rear seat n not forget they’re high-priced too.
Pity us Malaysians no other proper Jap brands to choose. Balik balik Hooooooondaaaaa only. So sad unlike customers in Japan, USA, Thailand, Singapore, Austalia and Indonesia.
Sadly, yup our car market is smaller compared to them and dominated by BIG H everywhere even on Facebook.
TCM, CKD the Qashqai 1.2T & 2.0NA, price it from 99k to 129k. With bigger dimensions and more safety features than the HRV, it will give Honda a run for their money…
ETCM, I not hoping you to bring Nissan Intelligent Mobility suite here in MY. But pls update the dinasor 2 airbags xtrail to 6. For RM130++k car, is not acceptable.
Unfortunately, Tan Chong Malaysia are still stuck in the dinosaur era until now. They must Seriously wake up and launch the latest Nissan models ASAP otherwise the Big H especially are still Number 1 foreign brand in Malaysia.
They might be toppled to 2nd if Nissan Malaysia have more models to choose from like the Juke Nismo, Note Nismo and X-Trail Nismo. All are available in Japan now.
