The Nissan X-Trail (Japanese: 日産・エクストレイル, Hepburn: Nissan Ekusutoreiru) is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 2000. It was one of Nissan's first crossover SUVs and was released about the same time as several other companies' competing car-based crossovers. At its introduction, the X-Trail is positioned below the truck-based Xterra and Pathfinder.

The second-generation X-Trail shares its platform with the Rogue. The third-generation model is completely merged with the Rogue, making them virtually identical. The Rogue nameplate is mainly used in North America. For the first time, the vehicle is offered with three-row seating as an option. It also marked a departure in terms of design from a rugged boxy look to an urban-oriented crossover SUV design.

The main production plant of the X-Trail is in Kanda, Fukuoka, Japan. Parts and engines that are produced in Japan are also assembled by other Nissan plants in numerous countries.

Current Generation

Fourth generation (T33; 2021)

The second generation X-Trail was revealed in China on April 19, 2021. Production in Japan began on the same day for across the globe, nearly a year after the American Rogue hit the market.

It is claimed to be built on a new platform,[45] while the dimensions are similar to its predecessor. It has a more distinctive exterior design, punctuated by a boxier, more squared-off front end and recognizable LED lighting signatures along with two-tone exterior color combinations

The QR25DE engine used in the previous two generations has been replaced with a new direct-injected PR25DD engine paired with a CVT. The flagship Platinum model featuring a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery, heated rear seats and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (late availability)[47] joins the pre-existing S, SV and SL trim levels. The interior has also been revised with an electronic shifter setup and an 8- or 9-inch infotainment screen.[48][49]

For the 2022 model year, the X-Trail received a powertrain update. The 2.5-liter PR25DD four-cylinder was replaced by a 1.5-liter KR15DDT three-cylinder turbocharged engine, which is more powerful with 201 hp (150 kW; 204 PS) and 225 lb⋅ft (305 N⋅m; 31.1 kg⋅m) of torque, while being more efficient. The Xtronic CVT transmission also was given an update; this gave the CVT a 17 percent higher gear ratio spread and reduced the internal friction by 32 percent.

Previous Generations

Third generation (T32; 2013)

(Post-Facelift Shown)

The third generation X-Trail was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.[16][17] Based on an all-new CMF-CD platform shared with the Nissan Qashqai and Renault Koleos, the vehicle is a common successor for the second generation X-Trail and the Rogue that is offered in North America. It enables the model to be available in 190 countries around the globe, a projection Nissan made during its launch. It ditches the boxy SUV looks in favour of an urban crossover looks and softer lines inspired from the Hi-Cross Concept.

Although the new Nissan X-Trail has a larger surface area than the outgoing car, Nissan says weight has been reduced wherever possible. It features a tailgate dominated by plastic which saves 7 kg. Aerodynamics have also benefited from carefully shaped door mirrors as well as a spoiler that covers the exhaust box and rear panel.

For 2017, the Nissan X-Trail has been facelifted, with restyled headlights and taillights which includes, restyled twin LED projector headlamps with High intensity discharge and LED Daytime Running Lights, which is now offered on SL trim levels with the Premium Package, while S, SV trim levels, and the SL trim levels without the Premium Package offers Halogen Headlamps with LED daytime running lights, and LED taillights are available on all trim levels. The 2.5L engine with 170 hp carries over from the previous model.

The new X-Trail went on sale in October 2016, and also has exterior and interior colours. A hybrid version of the vehicle premiered in January 2017 (Limited Availability) for the 2017 model year.

The hybrid features regenerative braking, pure drive hybrid emblems, energy monitor, hybrid battery status, under floor storage area replacing Divide-N-Hide@ Cargo System, a 2.0 litre four cylinder gasoline engine (power: 141 hp and torque: 141 lb-ft) and Xtronic CVT combined with an electric motor (power: 40 hp) and Lithium-Ion battery, for a combined power of 176 hp.

The Lithium-Ion battery is located below the thick flooring of the under floor cargo storage area. The X-Trail Hybrid is available in two trim levels, SV and SL, but the Nissan X-Trail Hybrid will not be available with third row seating (Family Package) and Divide-N-Hide@ Cargo System, due to the lithium-ion battery positioned under the boot.

Assembly of the X-Trail in Indonesia ended in February 2019 and replaced with an imported version from Japan, followed by Thailand which halted production in September 2020 without any replacement.

Second generation (T31; 2007)

The second generation X-Trail had its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007, and went on sale in Japan in August 2007, Europe in the third quarter of that year, and Australia and Mexico towards the end of the year. Slightly larger than the previous model, it is based on the Renault–Nissan C platform. The second generation was not sold in the United States and Canada, where it was instead replaced by the Rogue.

The X-Trail GT SR20VET petrol turbocharged engine was not offered in the second generation X-Trail, due to the 2005 Japan vehicle emissions control. In September 2008, the 20GT became available in Japan, equipped with the M9R, a 2.0 litre turbocharged common rail diesel engine developed jointly with Renault. This was the first diesel X-Trail offered in the Japanese domestic market. The previous 2.2-litre dCI was replaced with two 2.0-litre dCI (M9R) versions, offering 150 and 177 PS (110 and 130 kW; 148 and 175 hp) respectively.

A facelift second generation was released in Japan in July 2010. The Nissan X-Trail Platinum, with special features not seen on any other X-Trail, was released in a limited run of 200 vehicles for the United Kingdom in January 2012.

The second generation was replaced in October 2013, when the third generation X-Trail was unveiled in Japan. Only petrol engine variants were initially offered for Japan, with the diesel-engined second generation continuing to be available for the domestic market.

The second generation was released in Malaysia in 2010, where it was fully imported from Indonesia. Only one variant was made available, which consisted of the MR20DE engine paired to a CVT transmission.[9] The facelift version was made available in Malaysia in April 2013.

First generation (T30; 2000)

The T30 series X-Trail was unveiled at the September 2000 Paris Motor Show. It uses the Nissan MS/M&S/FF-S platform, shared with the Nissan Almera and the Nissan Primera. It entered production in October, and sales in Japan commenced in November 2000. In June 2003 Nissan gave the car an interior and exterior facelift, while also upgrading the 2.2-litre turbodiesels with a variable turbocharger (2.2 dci rather than the earlier 2.2 Di), producing 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp) instead of the original 114 PS (84 kW; 112 hp). The external differences were slight, although the grille and the bumpers were redesigned and the Nissan logo was updated to the latest design.

The X-Trail's All-Mode 4x4 transmission transfer case enables the driver to select between 2WD, 4WD or 4WD Lock through an electronic switch on the dashboard. Nissan offered a hydrogen fuel cell model named the X-Trail FCV on lease to businesses.

The X-Trail was sold in Canada for the model years of 2005 and 2006 (but Nissan Canada continued to market it until 2007), and in Mexico since 2003. It has been sold in the Philippines since the middle of 2003.

In the United Kingdom, the first generation car was available in S, Sport and SE+ between launch and 2004. There was also a Fat Face special edition in 2005, only for the United Kingdom, which was based on the Sports. They made 1,998 of them to celebrate the year Fat Face was set up.[1] The trim levels were then revised to SE, Sport, SVE and T-Spec.

From mid 2000 to 2007, Nissan launched a special edition AWD X-Trail equipped with the SR20VET petrol turbocharged engine, which produces 280 PS (206 kW). Named the X-Trail GT, it was offered only in Japan. This was the first SR20 Nissan ever produced which paired their famous high-flowing VE head (Variable Valve Lift - "VVL") with a turbo ("DET" internals also), in a transverse engine mounting configuration with AWD. It was only offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission.[2]
