New Nissan X-Trail introduced in China

The Nissan X-Trail has been unveiled at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show.

As a segment leader and best-seller in China, the X-Trail is a key model in the Nissan NEXT transformation plan.

The new model is said to offer an attractive package of dynamic performance and tech to seamlessly support customer lifestyles.

No details have been provided as yet about the car's drivetrain, although the U.S market equivalent Nissan Rogue gets a 2.5-litre in-line four-cylinder engine with Nissan's Direct Injection Gasoline system, rated at 179bhp.

The X-Trail also mirrors the design on the Rogue with distinctive Nissan design elements making an appearance. These include a floating roof and an evolved V-motion grille, as well as the SUV's unique head light shape.

The introduction video also states that the China-bound X-Trail will get the wide openinging rear doors of the Rogue. Capable of opening up to 90 degrees, they make it easier to get a child seat in or out, and also ease ingress and egress.

The NASA-inspired Zero Gravity low-fatigue spinal support seating will also make their appearance on China-bound X-Trails. The all new Nissan X-Trail will be launched in China in the second half of 2021.
