Nissan unveiled the 2021 version of its X-Trail crossover SUV to the world in the middle of last year. While we await its arrival on local shores, we still have the 2020 model (a carryover from 2017) on sale. Despite being the outgoing model, the locally available Nissan X-Trail still presents plenty of enticements for any crossover car buyer.
Although the X-Trail’s overall silhouette stays relatively the same as the previous model, the front façade has been redesigned to give the car a uniform V-Motion grille to match the rest of Nissan’s lineup.
Inside, the most obvious change in the cabin of the new X-Trail is the redesigned steering wheel. Now with a flat-bottomed design instead of the circular one found in the old, the X-Trail cockpit is now easier to get in and out of. The ergonomics of the four-way thumb controllers have also been improved, designed to reduce the amount of time needed to fiddle the controls.
The new Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) suite of driving assistance systems spruce up the X-Trail’s 4x4 variant, providing owners added safety via an Intelligent Around View Monitor (AVM) with Moving Object Detection (MOD), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), and Hill Descent Control (HDC) features.
If you’d like to get to know the X-Trail more thoroughly, here are the two locally available variants in detail.
