Nissan recently introduced the fourth-generation X-Trail SUV in India. The SUV hits the market on August 1 and will be available as a CBU unit, suggesting a premium price tag.

Engine and Gearbox
In India, the X-Trail will be available with only one engine: a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with variable compression and a mild-hybrid system.
Nissan introduced the fourth-generation model globally in 2021, offering an e-Power series hybrid powertrain option. The e-POWER system and e-4ORCE all-wheel drive enhance its off-road capabilities. However, the India-specific model will have a standard continuous variable transmission (CVT) that sends power to the front wheels.
The seven-seater SUV will generate around 161 bhp and up to 300 Nm of torque. Moreover, according to Nissan, the X-Trail will deliver a fuel efficiency of 13.7 kmpl.

Dimensions and Design
The upcoming X-Trail will use Nissan’s CMF-C platform. Although the SUV comes with both 5-seat and 7-seat configurations globally, only the 7-seat variant will be available in India.
The SUV’s dimensions are as follows: it is 4,680 mm long, 1,840 mm wide, and 1,725 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,705 mm. Furthermore, the X-Trail will have a ground clearance of 210 mm.
Additionally, the SUV has 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, claddings on wheel arches and underbody, faux roof rails, and wraparound LED taillamps. Also, it features a roof-mounted spoiler with an integrated LED stop lamp.
