Muscular, modern and packed with technology, the new
Nissan X-Trail has made its appearance
at Boustead Nissan Beribi showroom . Building on Nissan's respected 4x4
heritage but adding world-leading crossover know-how, the new X-Trail
re-defines the compact SUV segment.
Sculptured
muscular lines create a distinctive silhouette framed by elegant curves and
high wheel arches. Its features include a number of Nissan signature cues such
as the 'boomerang' rear lights, structured headlights with LED daytime running
lamps and the characteristic D-pillar shape. LED headlights, for both high and
low beams, are standard on high grade models while 18-inch alloy wheels also
give new X-Trail an imposing look.
Inside, premium
features include chrome, geometric metallic and piano black finishes making the
new interior look modern and refined. The use of high quality and soft touch
materials, elements like double stitching on the door panel, seats and center
armrest combined with a very classy design puts the new Nissan X-Trail in a
league of its own.
The spacious interior
has theatre-style seating making every row higher than the row in front to
increase the visibility of all passengers. The option of two extra seats to
make room for seven inside is unique for the category.
Practical touches
include rear side doors that open to almost 80 degrees, far wider than normal,
to allow both easy access and ease the loading and unloading of a child's
safety seat. Middle row seat comfort has been improved thanks to extra knee
room generated by the longer wheelbase and the new front seats having more
heavily sculpted seat backs.The middle row seats recline and slide while, where
fitted, the third row folds forward to increase luggage space.In addition,
access to the luggage area has also been made as easy as possible with remote
operation of the power tailgate.The result is a dynamic mix of progressive
exterior styling with a spacious, functional and high quality interior.
In keeping with the
class leading standards set by the previous generation model, the new X-Trail
adopts Nissan's advanced electronic four-wheel drive system, All Mode 4x4i.
Controlled via a rotary switch on the center console, it offers a choice
between two-wheel drive, Auto mode or Lock offering permanent four-wheel drive.
In the 'default' Auto
mode, the system constantly monitors throttle opening, engine speed and torque
to anticipate wheel spin and to distribute torque between front and rear axles
as needed, at speeds of up to 80 km/h.
Above that speed, the
system reacts to wheelspin, again shifting drive rearwards to restore traction
as required. For tricky conditions and at low speeds, 'Lock' gives new X-Trail
permanent four-wheel drive, while drivers also have the option of a two-wheel
drive only version. Ready to exceed the expectations of
compact SUV drivers, four electronic systems have been designed to make life
with X-Trail more comfortable and even safer.
The two world firsts
are Active Ride Control and Active Engine Brake. Active Ride Control monitors
the road surface to detect undulations. Active Engine Brake, meanwhile,
harnesses the power and controllability of the Xtronic transmission to add a
degree of engine braking while cornering or when decelerating to a standstill.
The benefits are greater braking control and enhanced feel with less pedal
effort.
The third system,
pioneered in the premium segment, is Active Trace Control. By using onboard
sensors to monitor speed, steering angle, throttle opening and braking effort;
Active Trace Control brakes wheels individually, as required, to reduce
understeer and help the driver steer a safer path through bends: it is
particularly effective on slippery, wet roads.Finally new X-Trail benefits from
Uphill Start Support and Advance Hill Descent Control.
During the launch Boustead Sdn Bhd also giving a surprise for the guest also launching the new Nissan GTR.
