The fourth generation Nissan X-Trail has been officially announced for the North American market. However, this does not change the overall look of the crossover will remain the same for Europe and Asia. The main difference is only in the name of the model, as for the USA it is Rogue, but for Europe the well-known X-Trail. In North America, this is one of the most popular models, according to statistics for 2019, 30% of Nissan's sales were this particular model. Most likely, it was these statistics that provoked the manufacturer to release the 4th generation of the crossover.
If we consider the new Nissan X-Trail, now it is a family car with increased comfort, as well as equipped with a full set of new safety and comfort systems. The basis for the Nissan X-Trail crossover was a new modular platform, where the rear is a multi-link suspension. This type of suspension has increased the free space in the cabin. However, the car is 38 mm shorter in length and 5 mm lower in height.
Following the redesigned exterior, the designers redesigned the interior of the Nissan X-Trail. The front panel of the crossover is equipped with a multimedia system with a 9 ″ display. The head-up display is even larger by 10.8 ″. It would seem that what else could be better, but the manufacturer decided to add a fully digital 12.3 ″ instrument panel. The central tunnel of the new Nissan X-Trail looks pretty good. The functionality includes a gear lever, wireless charging, as well as a compartment for small things.
It is worth considering that all of the above functions are available only in the top trim levels of the Nissan X-Trail. The basic modification will look simpler, a multimedia system based on a 7 ″ color display, with Apple CarPlay support, a number of online functions and voice control. The second row of seats has become more spacious, it can easily accommodate two adult passengers and a child seat. Another plus is the opening of the rear doors, now they open almost 90 degrees relative to the body.
This will allow you to sit on the second row without obstacles or load large items. 3-zone climate control is also available. The basic configuration of the Nissan X-Trail will delight you with a good set of NSS (Nissan Safety Shield) active safety systems. It includes 10 airbags, an advanced autopilot that interacts with the on-board navigation system. Additionally, in the basic configuration there is a VMC (Vehicle Motion Control) system, capable of anticipating the driver's actions and, if he does something wrong, intervenes in driving.
According to technical characteristics, the new Nissan X-Trail will be available with both front and all-wheel drive. As for the engine, so far one version is known - a modernized atmospheric unit with a volume of 2.5 liters, which is installed on the current generation. Engine power for the North American market will be 181 horsepower, 11 more than current and 245 Nm of torque (8 Nm added).
Regardless of the modification, only the variator will work in pair. According to preliminary data, the start of sales of the new Nissan X-Trail / Rogue in the US should be expected this fall. Accordingly, the prices and the list of trim levels will be known closer to the start of sales of the crossover.
