The X-Trail is a five-to-seven-seater premium crossover by Nissan that offers a unique blend of design, innovation, and adventure. It is one of the most popular SUV choices in the country. Over the last few years, the brand has focused on enhancing the comfort and performance of the car—efforts that have only brightened the spotlight on the vehicle—helping the X-Trail stand out from its competitors and adding to its appeal.

Features of the Nissan X-Trail

1. Interiors
Step into a world of luxury with the X-Trail’s premium semi-aniline leather covers that stretch over ergonomic and comfortable seats. With several customization options, one can choose from six different Divide-N-Hide cargo system configurations to meet their family’s needs.

The X-Trail makes a marked shift in tradition, it does away with the shift knob, replacing it with easy-to-use push and pull buttons and levers instead. Traditional drivers can still choose to get the older shift knob, should they so desire. The button control panel and floating console are conveniently located, so the driver never has to worry about taking their eyes off the road.

The X-Trail adds another stellar feature—the intelligent power liftgate—to allow easy access to the boot even with one’s hands full. Swing the foot under the central bumper of the car with the keys in the pocket, and the gate opens on its own within a few seconds.

2. Engine and performance
The Nissan X-Trail is powered by a 2.5l gasoline engine capable of producing up to 188 horsepower and 244 Nm of torque and can provide both low and high compression efficiency, even when traveling long distances.

An all-wheel-drive (AWD) system is available with direct coupling to enhance stability and traction, even on the most adventurous trails. Five different drive modes on the car cover every driving scenario – off-road mode, eco mode, sport mode, snow mode, and auto mode. Hill Descent Control is also available to make it easier to go downhill and automatically adjust speed and brake pressure for a smooth and controlled ride.

3. Exteriors
The X-Trail is a boisterous-looking car that can stand out on any road. The front features sleek LED headlights and striking air vents, while the back sports the unmissable boomerang design tail lights. A V-motion grille sets the new X-Trail apart from its predecessors.

Those looking to make the X-Trail their companion on adventurous trails may be blown away by one of the top models – the 2024 Nissan X-Trail N-Trek, fitted with black exterior mirrors, roof rails, and 18-inch alloy wheels, and priced at AED 139,900. The front and rear bumpers add to their rugged appearance, while the unique waterproof seats enhance practicality in every terrain and scenario.

4. Technology
The Nissan X-Trail is equipped with a long list of technology features that further add to its appeal. One of the most notable is the intelligent rearview mirror, which allows drivers to get a clear view of the back, even with a fully-packed rear.

An updated 12.3” Display Screen takes the limelight in the central console, which is as smart as it is intuitive. A wireless charger, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay connectivity are standard features on the X-Trail, allowing users to connect their smartphones to the car seamlessly. Apart from this, a 12.3” digital dashboard and a 10.8” head-up display further add to the car’s utility, offering users insights into the car’s performance.

Further, Nissan’s ProPilot is offered on the X-Trail, helping drivers navigate traffic with ease. It includes driver assistance technologies such as lane centering, freeway mapping, maintaining a preset distance from other vehicles, adjusting speed limits (by route and posted speed limits), and much more.

5. Safety
When buying any car, safety is of the utmost importance. Recognizing this, Nissan has added a host of intelligent mobility features under the Standard Safety Shield 360 package on the X-Trail. These include intelligent emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure intervention, high beam assist, intelligent forward collision braking, blind spot intervention, rear cross-traffic alert, intelligent around-view mirror, and much more.

Buyers looking to add some more appeal to the X-Trail may also choose to add accessories, such as front grille illumination, splash guards, illuminated kick plates, roof rail crossbars, a removable tote cargo organizer, floor and trunk mats, and an emergency kit.
