Nissan X Trail is compact crossover, produced since 2000 by the Japanese on the famous Nissan FF-S base. Since 2007, the specialists of the Japanese division have created and released the 2nd generation X Trail Nissan, and in 2013 the world community saw the 3rd family of cars on the CMF "trolley". This article will review the Nissan X Trail. The entire range of Nissan.
Car history
First generation (T30)
The Japanese car Nissan Ixtrail 1 series was presented by the Japanese in 2001, and it was based on the Nissan-FF-S base. It will not be superfluous to recall that such models as Primera and Almera were created on it. The car was released until 2007, and it was replaced by the 2nd series of the crossover.
The "first" Japanese possessed two gasoline power units of 2.0 and 2.5 liters, which produced about 140 and 165 "horses". Synchronized the operation of the engines together with the five- or six-speed mechanical box gear shifting, or with a four-band automatic transmission.
Provided for front and four-wheel drive. For the front and rear wheels of the Nissan X Trail 2007, an independent spring suspension was provided. The front wheels have ventilated discs braking mechanisms and the rear ones are simple disk devices.
It is not difficult to drive the Japanese crossover, since the steering mechanism has an amplifier. When 2003 came, the company's employees carried out modernization. The changes affected the interior torpedo, which includes the dashboard, powertrain tuners, automatic gearbox and ABS.
On the technical side, the exhaust system catalyst was replaced on cars intended for Japanese consumers, instead of a double ceramic catalyst, a single metal catalyst was installed, as for European cars.
In addition, the restyled crossover has two exclusive versions - Rider and AXIS, which differ from outside bumpers and grilles, rollers and the latest body paint colors, and inside - interior trim.
In terms of crash tests, the Japanese car received 4 stars out of 5 possible according to the Euro NCAP tests in terms of the degree of safety for the passenger. But for a pedestrian, the rating was 2 stars out of 4. Russian motorists know the cars of the debut family well, because the model was in great demand with us.
The vehicle is distinguished by the central location of the "tidy" in the middle of the torpedo. Rear-mounted chairs, when folded down, can create a flat floor, which is a very practical solution.
Among the advantages of the crossover are its attractiveness, brutality, reliability, good off-road characteristics, functional interior, clear behavior on the roadway, comfortable suspension, good dynamics and manageability.
And also the car is quite maintainable and has affordable spare parts. Unfortunately, the model's paintwork leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, there is extra noise during high speed. The automatic transmission does not work very quickly, and the seats installed in the car are not the most comfortable.
The debut model of the Nissan X Trail T30 is a compact crossover with a five-seat cabin layout. X Trail dimensions: the crossover is 4,510 mm long, 1,765 mm wide, and 2,625 mm high. The wheelbase is at the level of 2 625 millimeters, and the ground clearance is 200 millimeters.
Full mass vehicle The 2007 Nissan X Trail ranges from 1,390 to 1,490 kilograms. The difference in weight differs from trim level, powertrain, transmission and gearbox.
Second generation (T31)
The 2nd generation Nissan X Trail made its official debut in 2007 during the International Geneva Motor Show. After 3 years, Trail T31 underwent a slight restyling, thanks to which it acquired a more fresh exterior and interior.
The exterior of the second series was performed in an angularly strict and simple design solution, where there were no stylistic luxurious innovations. Although thanks to such a masculine and brutal look, where there are muscular and correct proportions, it turned out to distinguish the "Japanese" from a number of passing cars-crossovers, which are dazzling with an enumeration of "licked" forms.
Based on dimensions 2 generation Trail T31, the vehicle can be classified as a "compact SUV". The length is 4,636 millimeters, the height is 1,700 millimeters, and the width is 1,790 mm. The wheelbase of the 2nd family is 2,630 mm, and the ground clearance is 210 mm.
The exterior of the cabin has a square type, an increased degree of functionality and conscientious assembly. The owner sees in front of him a multifunctional steering wheel and "tidy", which has a simple appearance and excellent information content.
A rather large console, installed in the center, has a screen that supports touch control, the diagonal of which is 5 inches. In addition, the console has a "music" tuning block and other elements, as well as three "twists" of the air conditioning system.
The front panel looks austere, but modern enough. Among its features are verified ergonomics. Nissan interior The X Trail 2 is crafted from eye-catching and tactile plastic, which has been diluted with silver aluminum-like elements.
More expensive configurations received leather upholstery. The workers of the plant fitted all the elements of the panels tightly together, so the gaps are small. The seats installed in front received a clear profile and quite good lateral support rollers. They can be configured in 6 different directions.
In the back row, the sofa can accommodate up to three passengers in a friendly manner, while still having plenty of freedom on all fronts. To increase the level of passenger comfort, the backrest can be tilted, and the "climate" vents can also be adjusted to suit you.
The trunk can carry about 479 liters of useful luggage and has an almost perfect layout. Below the raised floor, the Nissan designers hid additional drawers, below which there is a full-size spare wheel... If necessary, you can lay the 2nd row of seats on a flat floor, which will provide 1,773 liters of usable volume.
After the update, which took place in 2010, there was a new bumper, other wheel arch liners, chrome fog lights, a different radiator grille, a fresher appearance of the headlights, and other rear lights with LEDs.
The novelty also had new 18-inch rollers, a new exterior of 17-inch "rollers", a new body paint palette, changes in dimensions, a more perfect combination of colors inside the car and a new "board" of instruments.
According to Euro NCAP tests, the passenger received 4 stars out of 5 maximum during the crash tests, the child also received 4 stars out of 5 possible, and the pedestrian received 2 stars out of 4 maximum.
2nd generation characteristics
It provides for the installation of three in-line four-cylinder engines, each of which relies on the proprietary All Mode 4 × 4-i all-wheel drive system. The standard is considered to be a two-liter gasoline engine MR20DE, producing 141 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 196 Nm of maximum thrust at 4,800 rpm.
Together with it, a 6-speed manual transmission or a standard CVT variator works. As a result, the first hundred is reached X Trail from 11.1 to 11.9 seconds, and the maximum speed from 169 to 181 kilometers per hour. With all this, the 2.0-liter engine does not "eat" more than 8.5 - 8.7 liters.
The most productive engine is considered to be the 2.5-liter, 169-horsepower QR25DE engine, which also runs on gasoline. Power peaks at 6,000 rpm and 233 Nm is already available at 4,400 rpm.
Together with the variable box, the crossover accelerates to the first hundred in 10.3 seconds, and the maximum speed limit does not exceed 182 kilometers per hour. In the combined cycle, the "Japanese" consumes about 9.1 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers.
In addition to options that operate on gasoline, there is a turbodiesel, which received a 2.0-liter volume (M9R). It is capable of developing 150 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and 320 Nm of torque, which are already available from 2,000 rpm. Such an "engine" can work with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Diesel allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in 11.2-12.5 seconds, and the top speed is 181-185 kilometers per hour. Such a motor does not consume much, for every 100 kilometers no more than 6.9-8.1 liters.
The Trail T31 all-wheel drive transmission has 3 operating modes - 2WD, Auto and Lock. From the factory, all torque is transmitted to the front wheels, however, up to a speed of 70 km / h, it is possible to turn on the "Auto" mode, after which, when one of the wheels is slipping, some of the torque will be directed to the rear wheels.
By connecting the Lock mode (it works only at a high-speed mode of no more than 40 kilometers per hour), the clutch discs are always fixed, and traction, together with simple differentials, is transmitted between the wheels of both axles in an equal order.
As a basis for the second generation, they decided to take the "trolley" Nissan C, which was used on the crossover. Ixtrail received a McPherson-type suspension in front and a multi-link system in the rear.
All wheels have ventilated disc mechanisms, where ABS, EBD and ESP technologies are present, providing precise braking. Driving is easy as the engineers have fitted the car with an electric power steering.
Nissan X-Trail is a vivid example of how years can pass from the presentation of a car to the official start of sales. Shown a new Japanese car back in 2013. Auto sales started only this summer in Europe, while the appearance of the Nissan X-Trail in Russian car dealerships should be expected no earlier than March 2, 2015.
Collect Nissan X-Trail 2014 will be in Sunderland (UK). It is possible that a couple of cars will leave the factory near St. Petersburg, where the Japanese also have their own factory.
Exterior
The front end of the Nissan Ixtreil SUV features stylish tapered headlights, which are complemented by well-looking LED running lights. The radiator grill is not very big, and it conditionally consists of 3 sections. Already standard for an automobile company, it can stand out with the Nissan nameplate installed in the center.
The massive front bumper of the crossover almost does not protrude from the "body" of the car, but catches with the presence of its smooth aerodynamic outlines. Also, the bumper was able to place on itself a large air intake along with fog lamps, which are framed by chrome rims.
The lower part of the fairing edge also stood out on the nose of the car. It's nice that in the 3rd generation, Japanese specialists have done a great job on the new design of an SUV that meets all the requirements of modern automotive design.
The decision was made to take the design of the Hi-Cross concept car as a basis. As a result, the car is now completely different, not similar to its predecessor.
The nose section of the 2016 X Trail features a large bonnet area with beautifully decorated longitudinally spaced ribs that give the nose a more aggressive, charismatic and sporty appearance.
Interestingly, even the standard version of the Nissan Ixtreil has full-fledged LED headlights, which cannot be found in every car today. In the side section, the presence of elegant side elements pleases, among which one can highlight the strong profiles of the wheel arches, with the help of which the impressive side view of the car is created.
The wheel arches have received large radii, which are intended to accommodate tires up to 225/55 R19, which are placed on light alloy rims. Large doors received high glazing.
The aft part of the crossover fully meets the appearance of current off-road vehicles. From the photo it is noticeable that backdoor, which in addition has an electric drive, takes up almost all the free space. This door is elegantly decorated with a small spoiler.
The original shape of the rear underlines the presentability of the new generation of Nissan X-Trail cars. side lights which also come with LED filling, and a neatly made rear bumper.
The new body of the off-road car is literally painted with splashes and waves, which give the car more attractiveness, extravagance and even sportiness. The body color options for the Nissan X-Trail are available in olive, black, white, gray, silver and blue.
Interior
The salon of the Japanese-made novelty is European software. appearance and how it feels. The interior is quite solid, this also applies to the plastic used, high-quality leather, and the assembly is done at the proper level.
Having a good combination of instruments and optimal instrumentation together with a set of necessary functions is well readable. The center console looks quite stylish and modern, and all this is emphasized by the 7-inch color display of the multimedia system together with a neat air conditioning control unit with an additional monochrome screen.
The seats in the front row are quite comfortable and well thought out as a profile. The presence of a wide range of settings will allow you to choose the optimal comfortable placement. It depends on what equipment will be installed, the seats installed in front will be equipped with either mechanical or electrical adjustments, and as for heating, it is present in any configuration.
The rear-mounted sofa is designed for three passengers, with ample space in every direction. It is also nice that there is absolutely no transmission tunnel behind. Thanks to the longitudinal adjustments, it becomes possible to increase the free legroom.
Optionally, for the 3rd generation Nissan Ixtreil, you can purchase an auxiliary row of seats, which will come in handy if you have children. "Hold" has an almost perfect shape, on the floor you can find the presence of a fleecy coating, and the side parts were made of plastic.
Pleasantly pleased with the presence of the fifth door, which is equipped with an electric drive, which is very convenient and necessary. Generally speaking, the salon has been changed almost beyond recognition. Many of the items are now in fact of prestigious quality. There is a good built-in navigation system, rear camera or circular cameras.
Specifications
Power unit
On Russian market for Nissan X-Trail, three units are offered at once: one turbodiesel and two gasoline. The basic version of the car will be equipped with a 2.0-liter petrol engine with 144 horsepower.
The most productive was the 2.5-liter "four", generating 171 horsepower coupled with 233 Nm of peak thrust. Acceleration to hundreds will require 10.5 seconds, top speed reaches 190 km / h. V mixed cycle gasoline consumption will not exceed 8.3 liters.
It is quite unusual, but for Russian buyers they offer to install a 1.6-liter 130-horsepower dCi "engine" operating on diesel fuel... Much more attractive in terms of fuel economy is the four-cylinder turbodiesel. With a capacity of 130 "horses", the crossover will consume only 5.3 liters per 100 kilometers.
Transmission
The 144-horsepower engine will be complemented by a 6-speed "mechanics" or a continuously variable CVT, four-wheel drive or only front-wheel drive.
The 130-horsepower "engine" functions only with a manual transmission, which transmits traction to two axles. Diesel allows the car to accelerate to a speed mark of 100 km / h in 11 seconds, and a maximum speed of 186 kilometers per hour.
The SUV has a proprietary all-wheel drive technology ALL Mode 4x4i. In standard situations the car goes with front-wheel drive, however, when electronically detecting slippage of one of the wheels, the torque will be transmitted to the rear wheels using an automated clutch, which is located in the rear axle.
Suspension
Car third generation Nissan The X-Trail runs on a Common Modular Family trolley with a standard walker arrangement.
A McPherson suspension is installed in front, and a multi-link is installed in the back. If we take a model with front-wheel drive, then there will be a semi-independent rear suspension.
Steering
Depending on the traffic situation electric power steering can change its characteristics.
Brake system
As a braking system, disc brakes with ventilation, ABS, EBD and a proprietary brake booster Brake Assist are provided.
Dimensions (edit)
The overall body dimensions of the brand new Nissan X-Trail are as follows: the length of the car is 4,640 mm, the width is 1,715 mm, the height is 1,715 mm, and the wheelbase is 2,705 mm. The ground clearance height remained at the same level - 210 mm, which is quite enough to comfortably travel on the roads of the Russian Federation.

Third episode famous car The Nissan X Trail 3 appeared in its world premiere in the fall of 2013 at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The following year, the model was tested by the independent European committee Euro NCAP.
Looking ahead, we can say with confidence that the tests did not make the creators of the car worry, which is eloquently indicated by 5 solid stars out of 5 possible. Paying attention to the Nissan X Trail photos and videos, it is clearly visible.
The third generation of the Nissan X Trail was tested on the Euro NCAP base points. They included "Protection of an adult", "Safety of passengers and children", "Protection of pedestrians" and "Staffing with safety systems".
The car was subjected to such tests as a front impact at a speed of 64 kilometers per hour with an obstacle made of deformable material, a side impact with a trolley at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour and a side impact with a pillar at a speed of 29 kilometers per hour.
The design of the passenger compartment Japanese crossover subsequently the frontal collision remained unchanged. Driver's and passenger's knees and hips got good level security.
But if we talk about the chest of the same driver and the passenger sitting in front, then there is the likelihood of minor damage - therefore, its protection was assessed as "sufficient." During rear-end collisions, the seats and their front head restraints provide good protection against whiplash injuries to the cervical spine.
But passengers in the back row received less protection from such injuries. During side impact the new Nissan X Trail of 2015 already had the maximum number of points in its "luggage", but with more intense contact with the post, the operator of the car can get some damage to the chest, despite the fact that other parts of the body received "good" protection.
Based on dynamic tests, it became clear that the vehicle was able to protect an 18-month-old baby well during a frontal collision. But the load on the child's neck (3 years old) was increased. During lateral contact, children are properly restrained using a special device, which reduces the likelihood of head contact with interior elements.
The front passenger side airbag can be disabled and its position is accurate to the owner. The third version of the popular crossover in Russia earned the highest score for protecting the legs of pedestrians in the event of a possible impact, and by installing a high-quality front edge of the hood, a sufficient degree of safety in the pelvic area is provided.
The bonnet flatness over almost the entire surface provides adequate head protection for pedestrians. A small degree of danger remains only in the rigid A-pillars. A considerable number of auxiliary systems act as the basic equipment for an SUV.
Among them, the presence of a system of exchange rate stability, warning technology for 1 and 2 rows of seats about unfastened seat belts and a function that can recognize road signs... Such technologies fully comply with the standards of the European company NCAP.
Adult protection is 32.7 points, which is 86 percent of the maximum possible figure. Child passenger protection was rated at 40.7 points, which equates to 83 percent. Pedestrians received a rating of 27.3 points, which corresponds to 75 percent. And security systems were rated at 9.8 points, which is comparable to 75 percent.

3rd generation restyling
Exterior restyling
Major changes in the exterior took place between the 1st and 2nd Ixtrail families. Thanks to the change in style, the X Trail 2018 has improved its position using the presence of smooth, streamlined shapes. We have to admit that they do it very well.
The novelty looks great. The design team was able to find a good balance between elegant and aggressive features, without which the crossover cannot do. The most tangible changes can be seen, as usual, ahead.
The chrome trim located on the grille has increased in size. Changed the look of the head lighting. The front bumper has become massive and received rectangular fog lamps of horizontal design.
The American continent sells the car under the Nissan Rogue name. The car has all the required updates, which will reach the European market only in 2018.
It turns out that the previously known car was slightly modified, however, it left common features. Experts have noted more than once that the exterior of the off-road version is quite stable. In the center of the radiator grille is a wide chrome molding, which has a U-shape.
Another chrome molding accentuates the line front bumper, which greatly enlivens the exterior of the SUV. With the original combination of chrome parts with silver LED lighting on the front of the car, the exterior is more attractive, prettier and more stylish.
Thanks to proportional and rounded contours throughout the body, the Nissan X Trail 2017 - 2018 has lost its brutality and aggressiveness. Instead, the model now looks more elegant and attractive. The rear lights have also increased in size. In the Nissan X Trail 2017, they have LED elements.
Restyling interior
From the photo of the salon, it is easy to understand that the interior has not received major updates. If the appearance of the 2017 Nissan X Trail has an abundance of chrome elements, then a similar trend can be traced inside the car.
Those who have visited the modernized cabin of the Japanese SUV felt the desire of the design staff to create a pleasant and comfortable environment in the cabin. Despite the fact that a minimum of changes were made for the basic version, improved configurations made the interior softer, more pleasant to the touch, which applies not only to leather, but also to plastic.
For the driver of the car, the steering wheel can be adjusted for reach and height and the seat is adjusted using an electric drive. For the front row of seats, an electric heating function was provided. With the help of restyling and the absence of a transmission tunnel, the volume of the aft area of the cabin was increased.
The luggage compartment has received a volume of 497 liters of usable space. The door itself opens automatically. With the seats folded down, the volume rises to 900 liters. The rear door is closed by pressing a special button.
Restyling engine
There is no talk that work is underway to develop a new power unit. Based on the fact that in the United States of America vehicles are sold with the popular 2.5-liter, 171-horsepower petrol engine, replace power plants for Nissan X Trail 2018 model year do not plan. Therefore, technically speaking, new engines will not be installed.
Intuitive full graft d
The novelty has an intelligent all-wheel drive system All-Mode 4 × 4-I. The all-wheel drive system of the Japanese crossover almost instantly knows how to redistribute torque to those wheels that have the best grip road surface, which helps to preserve controllability and quality of movement. Thanks to this, the driver feels more confident on wet or snowy asphalt and can easily navigate even the steepest turns.

All cars are presented as a mid-size crossover and have a price tag of one million to two million rubles. It is clear that the 2018 X Trail models are more likely to successfully compete with their "enemies". The 2008 versions of the X Trail have already rapidly gone into the secondary market.
Nissan X-Trail, from 1,249,000 rubles, CAR from 13.24 rubles / km (excluding discounts of 50,000-150,000 rubles, which are valid until May 31)
By itself and with everyone
Even in the most large family, children differ from each other both externally and in character. Cars of the same surname have had less and less luck lately. Here the ball is ruled, alas, not by nature, but by the feigned-welcoming huckster's genius, who has already convinced many of the correctness of globalization and unification.
Our favorite X-Trail, maybe, would be happy to remain an exception. It did not grow together. The diary of his harmonious chronicle, which had been slowly filling for almost fifteen years, was thrown into the furnace of history. In the third generation, the car was suddenly ordered to wear the mask of the second "Kashkaya". Whether you like it or not, at least for the coming years, you will have to accept it as a fact. The only thing that stands out from the novelty is the view from the stern. Here our hero looks more solid and more expensive than the youngest. The flashlights, however, turned out to be very similar to those of the previous generation Lexus RX. However, such imitation can be written down as pluses.
The main thing is that the X-Trail is again much more "Kashkaya" suitable for the role of a family car. This is a curtsey to the zealous people. Children's basic 1.2-liter motor, not the most comfortable sofa and not the best trunk in terms of volume - all this was left to the youngest. "Hitril" retained the 2-liter engine in the base, extended the wheelbase in comparison with its predecessor and significantly improved the equipment. That there are only the system of compensation for vertical oscillations of the body and the electric drive of the tailgate - options that only yesterday spoiled only premium. In a word, in spite of everything, there are enough reasons to take a closer look at the new product.
Nissan X-Trail, XE / SE
Which choice?
The basic X-Trail was well equipped in the previous generation, and in the current one it was even more generously stuffed. So, the XE version has a decent set of safety features, including slope assistance and body vibration control. The radio tape recorder is beauty itself. And it is also easy to operate, functional, and even the sound gives out quite high quality (with an amendment, of course, only for 4 speakers). Against this background, climate control, power accessories, heated seats and mirrors, as well as cruise control are taken for granted. Not only that, you don't have to pay extra for 17-inch alloy wheels. Not all dealers of cars of democratic brands are as generous.
A fly in the ointment of the whole fairy tale about sweets - the price is 1,249,000 rubles. For a car with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, that's a lot. If you are aiming at buying a four-wheel drive car with a CVT, you will have to pay at least 1,419,000 rubles. Unlike Europe, Nissan in Russia has long taught its fans to put up with strictly fixed trim levels. And our color palette is rather poor. Only white acrylic is offered for free. For any of the five metallics they ask for 17,000 rubles.
A very significant (132,000 rubles) surcharge for the second version of SE could scare off many. And so it would have happened if we were talking about a budget runabout. However, on the scale of current prices for crossovers, where there is 1.4 million, there is one and a half. Moreover, starting with SE Nissan becomes not only more elegant (toning, leather on the steering wheel, fog lights), but also noticeably more comfortable. The electric drive of the fifth door, parking sensors in a circle, keyless access system - why not lure?
Of course, it's a good idea to have your X-Trail sport a 7-inch touchscreen in the center console and help you park safely with the 360-degree view system. The car has all this starting with the SE + configuration. However, they ask for another hundred thousand for pleasure. And to a reasonable question, why is it so expensive, they will explain to you that the price included a panoramic roof and discs per inch larger in diameter. The same money can be spent in a different way - on leather trim, an electric driver's seat, full-diode headlights and several electronic safety assistants. Such a machine is called LE. If you need all this, then the investment, for me, is quite profitable.
Starting with SE, instead of a 2-liter engine, you can choose an updated petrol 2.5 (+110,000 rubles) or a 1.6 turbodiesel (130 hp). The latter (together with the car) is given for 1,581,000 rubles. This is 30,000 more than what is asked for the optimal 2.0. However, for some reason, we cannot get an "automatic machine" together with a diesel engine.
Outside and inside
Sporty, decisive, fashionable, with an expressive brilliance of LEDs - hardly anyone would be against such lines. It's too late, my friend! Qashqai, which showed the world the same design, has been running on our roads for a year now. They will talk about the X-Trail willy-nilly, they say, borrowed ideas from the youngest. For a more expensive model, this is a minus. Even though the world debut of the two brothers took place almost simultaneously - in the fall of 2013. Fortunately, over the years, the chronology of the appearance of the new mask will no longer be so important. And completely different features will come to the fore.
Practicality, for example, cannot be taken away from a newcomer. Amulets made of unpainted plastic were not spared not only for bumpers, but also for sills and wheel arches. In conjunction body parts there were no large gaps, engineers generously put a dense pile on the inside of the rear arches, and made the compact mudguards of all wheels the basic equipment.
For door moldings, however, you will have to pay extra again. There are also more serious disadvantages. The hood was made much heavier than the previous one, but it was not equipped with pneumatic supports. The most important, in my opinion, unpleasant changes are hidden in the doorways. The new plastic door trims look beautiful from the outside, but the thresholds, alas, do not protect from dirt. The zealous owner will have to take care of attaching additional seals.
The front of the cabin is almost identical to the Qashqai. But on the couch, and especially in the trunk, there is much more air
The chic of the interior is quite forgiving these costs. The simple design of the middle of the last decade has evolved exclusively for the better. In any version, the interior looks fresh and modern. And starting with LE, where the skin can be not only black, but also light, the car turns into an aristocrat who successfully imitates the premium.
The rear doors open almost at a right angle, the engineers have not forgotten about the intermediate latches of their position, and in terms of the spaciousness of the cabin, the X-Trail even claims to be the best in the class. The passengers of the sofa had a sin to complain about the tightness before, but now the additional 8 cm of the base allowed for more legroom. Too bad the cushion of the sofa remained almost flat. But the sofa itself is now located higher, it can be moved forward, backward and the angle of the backrest can be changed. Both on a long journey and during loading, these abilities will certainly come in handy. Younger brother Qashqai cannot boast of the same concern.
But the successes in the cargo disciplines are not so clear-cut. In the new body, the hold has increased from 479 to 497 liters. However, the sofa must be pushed forward for this. Otherwise, only 400 liters of cargo will fit under the shelf. Fortunately, you can use the space with greater benefit. One of the parts of the underground cover must be installed 20 cm higher, thereby dividing the hold into compartments.
The wide center armrest of the sofa allows access from the interior to the trunk
What well:
- Stylish diode lights
- Practical plastic body kit
- Two-tier trunk
- Adjustable sofa
- Wheel mud flaps on all versions
- Electric drive of the fifth door
What is wrong:
- Heavy bonnet with awkward latch
- Door seals that do not protect the sills from dirt
- Low (165 mm) rear shock absorber eyes
- Flat sofa cushion
Behind the wheel
Three-spoke steering wheel turned towards the driver dashboard, a wide and high central tunnel - for the first time in three generations, the X-Trail looks sporty and expensive inside. And for the first time in three generations, he repeats "Qashqai" with almost every detail of the salon. The only exception was the basic version of XE. Instead of an air conditioner, a 2-zone climate control with a digital display is registered here by default. Although there was not enough leather on the steering wheel. Uncovered steering wheel polyurethane is just as slippery and cheap here. Even though they did not regret the elegant aluminum finish for him.
But, like that of "Kashkai", the inner handles of the front doors turned out to be grasping and comfortable. Once again it's nice to take it. And the engineers made excellent devices. The pointers are nice and easy to read, and the 5-inch computer screen is not only pleasing to the eye, but also multi-functional to envy. A digital speedometer, data from security systems, four-wheel drive operation, fuel consumption graphs are only a small part of its readings. And how wide are the possibilities of settings! I confess that I don’t remember another crossover that would allow you to choose the degree of engine braking intensity.
The fashion-conscious engineers overlooked a number of shortcomings. For some reason, the door and center armrests are located at different levels. So it is not far from scoliosis. And all that was necessary was to provide for the possibility of adjusting the lid in height. Only one power window has a fully automatic mode, and the on-board electrical network, devoid of a time relay, is de-energized immediately when the engine is turned off. For a one and a half million car, this is a completely inappropriate economy. Visually, I really liked the front seats. A rich front, a developed side stop, perforated leather of excellent workmanship ... However, even on the most expensive versions, there is no adjustment of the front edge of the pillow by the angle of inclination. People taller than 180 cm will have to sit as low as possible, otherwise the hip of the right leg will not be supported. How about visibility? It is better not to save on the front and rear parking sensors. In the optimal SE, I repeat, they are. But security is all right. According to the strictest EuroNCAP methodology of 2014, X-Trail managed to earn five stars and score 33 points. The car withstood the side crash test and impacts on the pole perfectly. The results would be even better if Nissan had driver's knee cushions and active sofa headrests.
There are many important buttons huddled in the blind spot to the left of the steering wheel.
What well:
- Ease of management and functionality of the onboard computer
- Cleverly tailored front door maps
- Capacious box between the front seats
- Cooled cup holders
- Established slope assistance system
What is wrong:
- Slippery polyurethane steering wheel XE version
- Seat cushion without tilt adjustment
- The door armrests located at different levels and the central
- One power window with auto mode and no time relay
- Important buttons - in the blind spot to the left of the steering wheel
On the roads and without them
"Combat" is not said about the 2-liter X-Trail. Each horse has to pull almost a dozen kilograms. What kind of sport is this! It is all the more surprising that a car with only 144 horses has something to amaze. Nissan starts quite briskly from a traffic light, and the variator perfectly imitates the work of a full-fledged "automatic machine" - the tachometer needle rushes around the scale like a ginger. Most importantly, I am ready to bow to the 2.0 CVT for not bothering me anymore, like a vacuum cleaner hanging on one note. I am ready to recognize the basic engine as optimal. It is easier to do this when 110 thousand are asked for the extra 27 horses. After overpaying for 2.5, you expect a greater celebration of life. And you will not wait at all right away. The advantages of the motor are not obvious at first. This is because the main pair in the variator is longer here (5.69 versus 6.39). In the city, the car is not perceived as more temperamental. And only at full load speeds, overtaking is easier. An extra bonus - improvements in efficiency. If earlier this engine was notable for its gluttony of 13-14 liters per hundred, now its appetite can be restrained within 10 l / 100 km. About the same average consumption and a 2-liter car. An important feature was also revealed in the suspension settings. The two-liter car carries smoother and more imperceptibly overcomes the unevenness of a small format. However, if you happen to run into a series of waves on the asphalt, the more compressed suspension of version 2.5 will be preferable. It is such a car that keeps more stable on the arc. The two-liter shakes the body in a sweeping way.It is also a pity that the Japanese did not provide for better soundproofing of the front arches. It will not be superfluous to spend money on additional processing with noise-absorbing anti-gravel. The 4WD system has not undergone any changes and works quite well. The control of the electromagnetic clutch for connecting the rear wheels is still given to a convenient round on the central tunnel. On a primer, it is better to immediately block the clutches for connecting the rear wheels. Then, up to 40 km / h, the torque will be distributed between the wheels of the front and rear axle equally, and the efforts of ESP are enough for the car to cope with the diagonal hanging. But if you turn on the Auto mode under the same conditions, then the risk of overheating the clutch increases. Nothing irreparable will happen, but for ten minutes the car will become front-wheel drive. Please also note that the geometric passability of the vehicle has deteriorated. According to the measurements of the experts of our publishing house, the angle of entry has decreased from 27 to 19.5. And to the lowest point under the bottom - the lugs of the rear shock absorbers - 165 mm. Fortunately, there is still a lot of "air" under the engine crankcase - it is about the same 20-21 cm, depending on the tires.
What well:
- ESP operation when hanging diagonally
- Convenient control "washer" and clear display in the 4WD system
- Passage on virgin soil
- Handling on slippery roads
- Diesel fuel consumption (7.6 l / 100 km)
What is wrong:
- Soundproofing of the front wheel arches
- All-round image quality
- Insufficiently clear engagement of gears in the manual gearbox
- Marking control system responsive to tram tracks
- Lack of budget version 2WD CVT
Outcome:
Don't be fooled by the new family mask. X-Trail has remained the same respectable introvert, except perhaps trained in accordance with the trends of the times. With an optimal 2-liter engine, the car lacks stars from the sky in terms of dynamics, but it will not allow itself to offend everyone. Thanks to the extended base, it, while remaining, in fact, compact, can be considered equal to mid-size crossovers. The price tag of 1.55 million, of course, makes you get used to it. However, taking into account the equipment and Nissan sizes remains quite an attractive acquisition.
Nisan X-Trail is a front- or all-wheel drive SUV of the compact segment, which has an attractive appearance, a solid and roomy interior and a modern technical component ... The car is designed for a different target audience - from young and ambitious drivers, not burdened with family, and ending with elderly people ...
The first two generations of "X-Trail" were outwardly close to classic SUVs, which allowed them to collect a large number of "conservative" fans. But in the third generation model, the Japanese decided to focus on modern design, which is able to attract a wide range of buyers, including attracting the attention of the fair sex.
Introduced in 2012 at the Geneva Motor Show, the concept Nissan Hi-Cross became the prototype of a production model that did not take long to arrive - the “third X-Trail” officially debuted in Frankfurt in the fall of 2013 ... At the end of 2014, production of the crossover began in St. Petersburg plant, and it went on sale in the Russian market in March 2015.
At the end of October 2018, an SUV in Russian specification underwent a planned modernization, but the car for the American market was updated in the fall of 2016, and for the Chinese - in the spring of 2017. As a result of the restyling of the five-door, the exterior was slightly refreshed (tweaked bumpers, grille and lighting equipment), slightly corrected the interior, reconfigured the suspension and steering, revised the variator calibrations and separated the new, previously unavailable equipment.
The front part of the Japanese "rogue" is distinguished by narrowed optics of head lighting (in the basic versions it has a halogen filling, and in the top-end - LED) with LED running lights in the form of boomerangs, between which is harmoniously located a honeycomb grille with a stylish element in the shape of the letter "V" ... The powerful front bumper is endowed with aerodynamic contours and cut from smooth lines, and the place on it is allocated to a large air intake and round fog lights with chrome frame.
If you look at the "third" Nissan X-Trail from the side, you will notice the embossed wheel arches (capable of accommodating wheels with 17-19 inches of disks), a flat roofline, characteristic stampings and solid stern, which together create an elegant look with a pronounced sportiness.
The stylish rear end of the crossover is highlighted by a neat bumper, modern parking lights with LED components and a spoiler located on the tailgate.
The total length of the 3rd generation Nissan X-Trail is 4643 mm, of which 2706 mm are on the wheelbase. The width and height of the vehicle are respectively 1820 mm and 1695 mm. The solid ground clearance - 210 mm - indicates that the "rogue" has not lost much of its off-road capabilities in comparison with its predecessor.
The interior of the X-Trail of the third generation is European both in appearance and in touch (good-quality plastics, high-quality leather, excellent assembly). The instrument cluster is an optimal toolkit for both a set of functions and for readability. The central place on the dashboard is reserved for a 5-inch color display, the interface of which has 12 graphic windows, with their help the driver is provided with a lot of necessary information. The multi-steering wheel is beautiful to look at and functional in practice.
The dashboard design is made in the "family" style Nissan, but it will appeal to a wide variety of audiences. The center console looks modern and stylish, and this is emphasized by the 7-inch color screen of the multimedia complex and the neat climate control unit with a separate monochrome display.
The seats in the first row are endowed with a comfortable and well-thought-out profile, and a wide range of adjustments allow you to choose the optimal comfortable seating. Depending on the configuration, the front seats are equipped with either mechanical or electrical adjustments, but heating is available in all versions.
The rear sofa is aimed at three riders - there is a lot of space in each direction (moreover, there is no transmission tunnel). Longitudinal adjustments make it possible to increase the amount of legroom. An additional row of seats is available as an option for the 3rd generation Nissan X-Trail, which is exclusively suitable for children.
"Third X-trail" - for real practical car... The volume of the luggage compartment in the five-seater version is 550 liters, and with the "gallery" installed - from 135 to 445 liters with the back of the third row folded down. The rear sofa folds down in a 40:20:40 ratio, which increases the amount of space to 1982 liters. "Hold" has an almost perfect shape, there is a fleecy covering on the floor, and the sidewalls are made of plastic. The fifth door is equipped with an electric drive - a convenient and necessary solution.
For the X-Trail of the 3rd generation, three power units are offered on the Russian market (two gasoline and one turbodiesel).
- As a base, a 2.0-liter engine with the factory designation MR20DD is mounted on the crossover, which develops 144 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque (available at 4400 rpm). It is combined with 6-speed "mechanics" or stepless variator CVT, front or all wheel drive. A car with "mechanics" goes to overcome the second hundred after 11.1 seconds, maximum development of 183 km / h. At the same time, 8.3 liters of gasoline in mixed driving mode are consumed for every 100 km of track. A "rogue" with a variator gains 100 km / h in 11.7-12.1 seconds, and its maximum speed reaches 180-183 km / h (depending on the type of transmission). Fuel consumption varies from 7.1 to 7.5 liters in the combined cycle.
- The most productive is the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated "four" (factory index QR25DE), generating 171 horsepower and 233 peak thrust. This unit is only capable of working with a CVT variator and an all-wheel drive transmission. But even with such an "X-Trail" dynamic performance is not impressive: 10.5 seconds takes acceleration from zero to a hundred, 190 km / h has a top speed. Gasoline consumption does not exceed 8.3 liters per 100 km of run in the combined cycle.
- The four-cylinder turbo diesel Y9M with a volume of 1.6 liters produces a power of 130 "horses", and at 1750 rpm a maximum torque of 320 Nm is already available. It works only with the "mechanics", which transmits traction to all four wheels. Diesel Nissan X-Trail is capable of accelerating to the first hundred in 11 seconds and reaching a maximum of 186 km / h. But its main advantage is fuel efficiency: for 100 km of track in the combined cycle, the crossover spends only 5.3 liters.
The third generation model is built on a modular CMF (Common Modular Family) bogie with a classic chassis layout: MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear (front-wheel drive models have semi-independent rear suspension).
Depending on the traffic situation, the electric power steering is able to change its characteristics, and is responsible for deceleration brake system with installed "in a circle" ventilated discs and ABS.
The crossover is equipped with proprietary technology all-wheel drive ALL Mode 4x4i. V normal conditions movement, it is front-wheel drive, but if the electronics detects slippage of one of the wheels, then a certain amount of traction is transferred to the rear wheels by means of an automatic clutch in the rear axle.
In Russian Nissan market X-Trail 2019 model year can be purchased in ten equipment levels - "XE", "XE +", "SE", "SE Yandex", "SE +", "SE Top", "LE", "LE Yandex", "LE + "And" LE Top ".
Car in basic configuration with a 2.0-liter engine, "mechanics" and front-wheel drive will cost from 1,574,000 rubles, while for the version with a variator will have to pay from 1,634,000 rubles.
The crossover is equipped with: six airbags, 17-inch steel wheels with decorative caps, two-zone "climate", ABS, EBD, ESP, ERA-GLONASS system, an audio system with four speakers, "cruise", electric windows for all doors, heated front seats, multifunctional steering wheel and other equipment.
A five-door with the same engine, but a variator and all-wheel drive in the "XE +" version costs from 1,762,000 rubles, for a car with a 2.5-liter unit they ask from 1,930,000 rubles, and with a turbodiesel - from 1,890,000 rubles (both options offered with "SE" configuration).
An SUV in the "top" version cannot be bought for less than 2,154,000 rubles, and its privileges are: leather interior trim, 19-inch alloy wheels, all-LED optics, blind spot monitoring system, lane control technology, front and rear parking sensors, electric drive front seats, a roof with a panoramic view, a media center with a 7-inch screen, "music" with six speakers and other "gadgets".
The Nissan X-Trail crossover began to be produced in Japan in 2000, and a year later, export deliveries of the car to other countries began. This model was never sold in the United States, although it was available in Canada and Mexico.
In the Russian market, the Nissan X-Trail was offered with gasoline engines 2.0 (140 hp) and 2.5 (165 hp), as well as with a 2.2-liter turbodiesel with 136 hp. For versions with a 2.5-liter engine, a four-speed automatic was offered for a surcharge. All crossovers for Russia had four-wheel drive, although there were front-wheel drive modifications in other markets.
In Japan, in addition to cars with a two-liter engine (150 hp), a powerful Nissan X-Trail GT was available, equipped with a 2.0 turbocharged engine developing 280 forces, all-wheel drive and automatic transmission.
In 2004, a barely noticeable restyling of the model was carried out, and in 2007 its sales in most countries stopped. However, in Taiwan, the release of X-Trails for the local market continued until 2009, and they had a slightly different body design.
2nd generation (T31), 2007–2014
Debuting in 2007, the second-generation Nissan X-Trail has become slightly larger than the previous model, and the most noticeable change in the interior was the instruments that moved from the center of the dashboard to the traditional seat in front of the driver. The crossover was created on the Nissan C platform, common with the "" first generation.
Initially, cars with gasoline engines 2.0 (141 hp) and 2.5 (169 hp) were sold in Russia, paired with a manual transmission or a variator. Later, the model range was replenished with a version with a two-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 150 forces, for which a six-speed "automatic" was offered as an option. There was also a version on the Japanese market, under the hood of which there was a two-liter diesel engine developing 173 hp. with.
In our market, it was possible to purchase only Nissan X-Trail with an upgraded all-wheel drive transmission with a multi-plate clutch in the rear wheel drive. Crossovers for Russia began to produce software full cycle at a plant in St. Petersburg in 2009. Prices for Nissan X-Trail started at 900 thousand rubles.
In 2010, the model was restyled, which slightly changed its appearance. In Japan, the production of cars ended in 2013, in Russia they stopped making them in 2014. In 2015, the car returned to the Chinese market under a new name.
