Stars in the Euro NCAP - Crash Test (2014)

At the IAA 2013 in Frankfurt am Main , Nissan presented the third generation of its world's best-selling model, the X-Trail. This version, which has been sold since July 2014, is no longer characterized by the angular ladder - frame off-road vehicle design, but is based on the contemporary, sporty SUV look. The front section picks up on stylistic elements from current Nissan models such as the Murano and Qashqai . In Europe, the new X-Trail also replaced the Nissan Pathfinder ; in North America, the Nissan Rogue is almost identical to the X-Trail for the first time.

technology

LED headlights with daytime running lights are used, as well as the ALL-MODE 4x4i electronic all-wheel drive system known from previous models , with which you can choose between front-wheel drive and automatically calculated power distribution between the front and rear axles. In addition, the system can also be locked so that the driving force is evenly distributed over the axles.

The so-called Active Ride Control and the Active Engine Brake are newly introduced . Active Ride Control monitors the road surface and automatically adjusts the vehicle damping. With the Active Engine Brake, the power and controllability of the continuously variable CVT transmission are used, thereby increasing the braking effect of the engine.

Another innovation that comes Active Trace Control of the Infiniti M Y51 used. Controlled by sensors, this can prevent possible understeer on wet and slippery roads through targeted braking of individual wheels. For the engines, the 1.6 liter turbodiesel with 96 kW (130 PS) known from the Qashqai was used. The gasoline engines friction-optimized find downsizing engines use. In addition, the weight has been reduced with measures such as a tailgate made mostly of plastic for lower fuel consumption.

Comfort equipment

In addition to the new safety equipment listed, the X-Trail will in future have the navigation system and the Connect infotainment system . This can be connected to a smartphone and enables internet access in the car . Apps from social networks, music and other entertainment platforms can be called up via a seven-inch color touchscreen . A so-called send-to-car function enables travel planning at home, which is then sent to the car. The system also has a Bluetooth hands- free system, AUX and USB connections.

Chrome, metal and piano lacquer surfaces should upgrade the interior. The longer wheelbase and newly shaped front seat backrests provide better knee room in the second row of seats. A third fold-away row of seats with two seats is available for a surcharge, as is full leather trim. The rows of seats rise as if to the rear, so that rear passengers have a better view of the front.

To increase the load volume, the second row of seats can be moved, as well as fold-away seats in the optional third row. In addition, there is a double loading floor in the trunk, which can be converted into two luggage compartments. The third generation of the X-Trail is also optionally available with a central panoramic roof and an electrically operated tailgate.
