Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announced the release of the new revised X-Trail and the addition of a 6-speed automatic transmission model to the Clean Diesel X-Trail 20GT. The X-Trail "20GT" is powered by the 2-liter M9R Diesel engine with the addition of a 6-speed automatic transmission model. The engine was a result of a joint venture development between Nissan and Renault. The engine generates from a low RPM range, a level of torque comparable to that of a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine.
The latest refinements to X-Trail focus on the exterior, interior and the addition of a new 20GT Clean Diesel 6-speed automatic transmission model. On the exterior, the front grille, front bumper and headlights have been redesigned. The tyre size too has been changed to P225/60R17 from the P215/60 R17 used in the earlier one.
The interior of the car has large dials for better driver visibility and a vehicle information display system is newly provided to show moment fuel consumption, upcoming maintenance schedules and various other information. In addition, a glove compartment with heat-retention and refrigerator functions is standard on all models.
There is a newly adopted Advanced Hill Descent Control system for 4WD models. This system enables the driver to set his or her desired driving speed arbitrarily within the range from 4km/h to 15km/h, depending on the degree of hill grade. Apart from that there is the glove compartment with heat-retention and refrigerator functions. The changes made to the car will certainly trickle down to the rest in the world and India too might get to see a fresh new and evovled X-Trail.
