Despite boasting more contemporary, swoopy styling, Nissan claims the X-Trail is just as rugged as ever, and maintains its very useful flexible cargo area - and it retains that clever double floor as has proved popular in the current X-Trail.
Nissan boasts about the new X-Trail’s wide opening rear doors, which allow easier loading for kids and child seats, and the new model will be the first X-Trail to be offered with a pair of extra seats in the boot, making for a total of seven (expected to be an option, similar to the Mitsubishi Outlander).
The rear seats feature more leg room due to the car’s longer wheelbase, and the second row can slide for extra cargo room or for better leg room for third row occupants.
The new X-Trail is the first product to be spun off Nissan's new shared underpinnings with Renault, which takes advantage of lower costs in the production process.
It takes a big step forward in terms of technology, too. LED headlights will be fitted to high-end models, while a 7.0-inch colour touch screen media system with NissanConnect allows occupants to listen to internet radio via their smartphone’s connection, and the sat-nav system will feature Google connectivity.
Nissan is yet to reveal details of the engine lineup for the new X-Trail, stating those crucial specifications will be revealed closer to the car’s launch. We’d expect, however, that both petrol and diesel engines will be available, with six-speed manual and CVT automatic gearboxes, as well as the choice of two- or four-wheel-drive. The new X-Trail is expected to arrive in Australia from July 2014.
