Nissan X-Trail - Top reasons to buy

The Nissan X-Trail has been one of the top performers for the Japanese auto giant. Nissan has consistently upgraded the X-Trail to keep it relevant against the competitors such as Kia Sorento, Hyundai Tucson, and Mazda CX-5. Even after years of its launch, the car remains one of the top options in the segment. The facelift it received in 2018 made the X-Trail one of the best options available on the market. Let us look at some of the top reasons to buy the Nissan X-Trail in UAE.

Design

The revised design makes the X-Trail look even more commanding on the road. The dimensions of 4.64 metres length, 1.82 metres width, and 1.71 metres, height add to the massive aura of the car. The V-Motion grille is now bigger than its predecessors and features black gloss accents. The LED headlights and both the bumpers, add to the style quotient of the vehicle. It is also equipped with the power panoramic moonroof for an unhindered view of the skies. Nissan offers five colour options – Palatial Ruby, Metallic Slate, Brilliant Silver, Blue Pearl, and Solid Red.

The interior design boasts of premium offerings and extra space. The steering wheel is flat-bottomed which is believed to make getting in and out of the car a little easier. Some users may find the D-Shaped steering as too much fidgeting with the design. The large centre display is well-placed and fits with the rest of the interior. The premium look is completed by a leather covered shift knob. Both the interior and exterior designs of the new X-Trail are one of the best available in the segment.

Performance

The Nissan X-Trail draws its power from a 2.5-litre 4-Cylinder engine which is capable of delivering 169 hp at 6,000 rpm and 233 Nm torque at 4,000 rpm. The engine is paired with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gearbox that ensures high torque output at low revs. Nissan has employed its CVT eliminating the need for fixed gear ratios and improving the fuel economy. The base model is front-wheel-drive, whereas all other models are all-wheel-drive with 4x4 lock feature.

This allows your vehicle to respond to the changing traffic conditions.
