X trail lineup. New Nissan X-Trail

Invulnerable cars do not exist, no matter what advertising inspires us. Problems and shortcomings, specific “sores”, are present in each mechanism. A car is a combination of a huge number of mechanisms, and everything that spins, rubs, switches, rotates, and comes into contact with the external environment is subject to deformation and is potentially vulnerable. The Nissan X-Trail is no exception. In fairness, we note that Lexus, Porsche, Mercedes are no less vulnerable and have their drawbacks, pros and cons.

Until 2009, all Nissans were imported from Japan. After the opening of the assembly plant at the plant in Shushary near St. Petersburg, the flow of imported cars in the European part of Russia dropped sharply, and Nissan supplies of local assembly appeared. Deliveries from Japan are relevant for Siberia and the Far East, where even right-hand drive versions are often found.

Versions and improvements

When buying a used car, especially not as cheap as the Nissan X-Trail, you need to understand that many components are worn out, and no one will replace expensive parts in excess of the necessary pre-sale preparation. Consider the Nissan Xtrail pros and cons in order to navigate the secondary market.

Weaknesses of the Nissan X-Trail were consistently worked out by designers, engineers and designers. The shortcomings of previous versions are eliminated quite quickly. Only a car made entirely of titanium and launched into orbit, beyond the atmosphere, can be invulnerable.

Ixtrail has an incredible amount of improvements and restylings. Cars Nissan X-Trail T30: 2001, 2003; : 2007, 2010; : 2015 — differ from each other quite significantly. The car of the first wave was progressive for its class, but the interior trim was frankly rustic. Restyling 2003 was carried out according to the requirements of consumers, for whom a line of wishes was specially opened. In 2007, the shortcomings of control systems were eliminated, CVTs, interior, and trunk were improved.

The most popular in the secondary market was the 2007 version,. This is due to the relatively low price and the presence of major technical innovations. Besides everything that could break is already broken and replaced, accordingly, with a skillful choice and a certain amount of luck, you will not have to invest in expensive repairs immediately after purchasing a car.

Modern disadvantages and shortcomings of the Nissan X-Trail T31 according to car owners:

Washer reservoir - a simple plastic container with tubes

1 No washer reservoir level indicator

You can understand that the liquid has run out only by the absence of splashing on the glass ... And this can lead to the fact that the pump that pumps the washer will deteriorate - it is not intended to work "dry".

2 Unreliable fuel level sensor

Xtrail has two. One on the fuel pump, the other - separately. Usually a "separate" sensor is to blame. From constant contact with our "quality" fuel, contacts with all the consequences are oxidized. Can be cleaned with a simple kit "cotton swab + solvent".

Illumination of buttons on the driver's door in the dark

3 Buttons on the driver's door do not light up properly

In particular, the power windows are not illuminated. It would be possible to make the backlight not from the side, but “from the inside” ...

Trunk cover Nissan X-Trail

4 Uncomfortable tailgate

Tablecloth class. It could be something more practical.

Gas stop fifth door Nissan X-Trail

5 Weak stops of the fifth door

Gas stops Nissan X-Trail do not always cope with the heavy fifth door. This is especially noticeable in cold weather and in the cold.

Operational problems

The relatively serious problems of the Nissan X-Trail begin after a year of running. Rust appears on the 5th door, which was famously slammed several times. There may be problems with the paintwork on the roof, especially if you had a chance to ride through the bushes and not notice the small scratches that appeared. There are problems associated with insufficiently accurate handling, testing extreme modes of the car, checking the possibilities.

Wiring problems and cable abrasion

From the practice of operation, it is quite obvious that all moving parts are subject to increased wear. As for the wires and loops laid in moving mechanisms, they also wear out, wear out, the insulation deteriorates, the wiring closes, the wires break and fray, and microcircuits fail.

Traditional car problems with electronics; this is abrasion of control wires, loops, breakage of controllers and buttons. What can I say, even if in old VAZs the brake lights and turn signals fail, and on the left side, where the driver's door provides an additional mechanical load on the wires. So, in the Nissan X-Trail, part of the control wired systems, buttons and cables are located on the steering wheel. Loops of the audio system, cruise control, speakerphone, located on rotating elements, are subject to abrasion.

Right front door wiring

In the hands of a competent electrician, the problem with loops is easily eliminated. If there was no competent electrician, or the abrasion of the loops is catastrophic, that is, not “a bit of isolation”, but “in rags”, repair and replacement of control loops will cost a dozen or two thousand rubles.

The Nissan X-Trail electric seat adjustments are also weak points due to increased mobility. This is especially true for the driver's seat. Depreciation of electrics and cables is inevitable. And in the case of the Nissan X-Trail, a significant part of the electrics is located in the moving parts, which increases wear and tear many times over.

In addition to direct mechanical impact, there is a problem of condensation of excess moisture, difficult temperature conditions, strong heating near the rubbing parts of the mechanism, and unreliable protection of some components from dirt.

Sensors

Sensors that transmit data incorrectly are serious shortcomings of the Nissan X-Trail from the very first to the latest models. Quite often, this is a problem for a car owner who does not want to spend extra money to replace the combined unit. By the way, the combined nodes in the Nissan X-Trail are decent.

Open type resistor sensor: contacts constantly float in the fuel

Fuel sensors. Xtrail has two. The contacts of the fuel gauge are sticking, clogged and oxidized, for this reason the sensor readings are not very accurate. The pros and cons of the car in this case is pointless to measure.

Fuel level sensor, which is combined with a gasoline pump

The problem can be solved in the usual way, simply by cleaning the boards. The “right” filter is no problem, but the “left” one is combined with the fuel pump. Replacement will cost more than 10,000 rubles. For this reason, many drivers are limited to cleaning the right one, which does not contribute to the effective operation of the level indicator.

In extreme conditions, which, according to the Nissan X-Trail regulations, include sub-zero temperatures, component replacement should be carried out more often.

The same applies to the oil filter.

Expensive components

Cheap repairs for the Nissan X-Trail are impossible in principle. Considering the pros and cons of the Nissan X Trail, it should be noted that expensive components are recommended for replacement at the end of their service life.

This applies to scheduled work with a CVT gearbox. Most CVTs use a special CVT Fluid NS-2 which is more expensive than regular transmission fluid. An oil filter that needs to be changed at the same time as changing the oil has additional features and costs decently. It is recommended to change the oil 2 times a year, which is about 32 thousand annually. In case of problems with the variator, and they occur due to incorrect user actions, an unscheduled oil change can be supplemented by changing the belt and grinding the pulleys.

Technical flaws

Small sores on the Nissan X-Trail, especially those bought on the secondary market, are very unpleasant for the driver - these are plastic rattling parts in the cabin, as they are called "crickets". The driver's problem is that getting used to not paying attention to small clicks and creaks, you can miss a serious trouble. The howl of the variator, of course, cannot be confused with anything, but it’s easy to miss the clicks and taps of the steering rack.

Let's list the most vulnerable places of the Nissan X-Trail in terms of unforeseen squeaks:

• Outside - a panel above the wipers. By the way, if the cold is approaching, it is advisable to immediately replace the regular wipers, they are often made of rubber that is not sufficiently resistant to frost. A nasty scratch on the glass instead of a soft glide can be an unpleasant surprise.
• Center console.
• Heating system. The motor whistles and clicks in it, which will eventually have to be replaced.
• The seats, although of the latest design, are stuffed with electronics, but after 2-3 years they creak almost like a grandmother's spring sofa. This is, in principle, normal. None of the drivers complain about the seats and everyone finds the adjustment system very convenient. And they just get used to the creak and are surprised when strangers, for example, when selling a car, pay attention to rather loud creaks.

Nissan X-Trail is not the cheapest car and requires a considerable investment in monthly maintenance, filters need to be changed in accordance with the maintenance schedule, regardless of cost.

With proper driving and regular maintenance, the new Nissan X-Trail will not cause problems.

Disadvantages Nissan X-Trail video

Third generation (T32):

Design features. In the third generation, the X-Trail is based on the new CMF platform, more adapted for use on crossovers, which significantly increased the suspension life and improved driving performance on the track. The car holds the road perfectly, has received tough suspension settings, has informative steering, is not prone to excessive rolls, and provides reliable braking, but at the same time it has lost some of its off-road qualities.

The weakest points. Among the most frequently breaking components and assemblies of the T32 model, experts include:

• timing chain,
• wheel bearings,
• electrical Components,

Engine problems. Problems with motors in the third generation are similar to problems with the motors of a second generation car and are described below.

Hum during the operation of the variator. The main reason for the appearance of excess noise from the variator is the wear of the bearings of the cones. To restore the normal operation of the variator, it is necessary to replace worn bearings. Note that worn bearings provoke accelerated wear of the variator belt and damage to other components of the gearbox, which may require a complete replacement of the gearbox in the future.

Jerks when driving a car with a variator. The main reason is the wedging of the reducing valve of the variator oil pump due to the ingress of products of mechanical wear of the variator belt. To fix the problem, you will need to replace the belt and grind the tapered surfaces of the pulleys.

Dust in the cabin when the air conditioner is turned on. The cause of the "dust smell" when the air conditioner is running lies in the clogging of the cabin filter. To solve the problem, you need to replace the filter.

Noise in cabin when starting engine. Typically, the hum comes from under the center of the car and is caused by a fuel line touching the bottom of the car. To solve the problem, it is necessary to exclude the touch of the body with the fuel line by laying a polyurethane seal in problem areas.

Doors don't close well. This problem can occur due to incorrect adjustment of door hinges and locks. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to adjust the door hinges.

The stove is "frying". This behavior is a feature of the climate control of the Russian version of the "X-Trail T32", which, as a rule, manifests itself in the automatic mode of operation. To normalize the process of warming up the cabin and maintaining the temperature at a normal level, experts recommend switching the climate control to manual mode and redirecting hot air flows to the “foot-glass” position.

Second generation (T31):

Design features. The second-generation crossover is built on the Renault-Nissan C platform, which is also aimed at passenger cars, due to which the suspension endurance has increased slightly. Meanwhile, the second generation received a more passable chassis with an all-wheel drive transmission, which interacts much more efficiently with electronic assistants. The car demonstrates more stable behavior on the road, received more tenacious brakes and informative steering.

The weakest points. Among the most frequently breaking components and assemblies of the T31 model, experts include:

• clutch,
• diesel engine injectors
• wheel bearings,
• pillar supports,
• electric power steering,
• thresholds (corrosion),
• tailgate (corrosion),

Unstable operation of the engine, tripling. As a rule, these symptoms are caused by stretching the timing chain. To solve the problem, it is necessary to replace the chain and check the performance of its tensioner.

The engine does not start well on a cold one, idle speed “floats”. The main reason for this engine behavior is throttle clogging. To fix the problem, it is necessary to remove the throttle assembly and clean the damper.

Reducing the thrust of the "diesel", reducing the speed. These symptoms are provoked by incorrect operation of the particulate filter. To eliminate the symptoms, the filter will need to be replaced or removed from the system. In the latter case, a flashing of the ECU will be required.

Vibration in the front suspension. As a rule, the vibration of the front suspension of a 2nd generation car, especially on rough roads, appears due to wear on the wheel bearings, which are the weakest point of the crossover suspension. To eliminate the problem, it is necessary to replace worn bearings and check the reliability of fastening of all components. In addition, experts recommend parallel replacement of the stabilizer struts, the wear of which provokes an increase in suspension noise.

Squeal or rattle when turning the steering wheel. The main reason for the appearance of these symptoms is the wear of the steering shaft cardans and its seals. To fix the problem, it is necessary to replace the rubber seals and the steering shaft universal joints.

The fuel gauge is not working correctly. As a rule, the problem is caused by a clogged fuel level sensor, which causes it to periodically stick. To fix the problem, you will need to replace the sensor.

Rattle in the windshield area. The main source of extraneous noise is a plastic panel under the wipers, which has a weak fastening. It is recommended to glue the panel with double-sided tape.

Noise when turning on the stove. The problem has migrated from the first generation of the crossover and its solution is described below.

On-board systems do not respond to pressing the buttons on the steering wheel. The failure of the control buttons on the steering wheel is provoked by the failure of the connecting steering column cable. To solve the problem, you will need to replace the cable. In some cases, the operability of the loop can be restored.

ABS does not work. As a rule, the problem is caused by the failure of the ABS unit as a result of increased off-road loads. To solve the problem, you will need to replace the unit.

First generation (T30):

Design features. The first generation of the car is built on a modified platform of the Almera sedan, which negatively affects the durability of the car's suspension, which is not designed for increased load. Thus, crossover suspension elements are the most frequently breaking nodes. In addition, the car has not very reliable brakes.

Increased oil consumption. On X-Trail T30 crossovers manufactured before 2004, an increase in oil consumption was often recorded with a relatively low mileage. The reason for the increase in consumption is the wear of the valve stem seals and piston rings, which will require their immediate replacement, otherwise further operation may lead to the need for an overhaul of the engine.

The engine troit or runs unstable. The main reason is the stretching of the timing chain and the wear of the tensioner. To eliminate interruptions in the operation of the motor, it is necessary to replace the chain and tensioner.

The engine does not start well on a cold one, and then it works intermittently. As a rule, such behavior of the motor provokes clogging of the throttle assembly. To restore the engine to working capacity, it is necessary to remove and clean the throttle assembly.
In addition, interruptions in the operation of the engine may occur due to clogging of the fuel filter in the car's gas tank. In this case, the filter will need to be replaced.
If the problem occurs on a 2.5-liter engine, then you should additionally check the performance of the crankshaft position sensor.

Unstable operation of the diesel engine. As a rule, the main reason for the unstable operation of the "diesel" is the incorrect operation of the fuel pressure valve in the injection pump, which will require its replacement. In addition, it is necessary to check the operation of the mass air flow sensor and the position of the crankshaft.

Reduced traction of a diesel engine, a drop in speed. These symptoms indicate the failure of the particulate filter. To solve the problem, it will be necessary to replace the filter or remove it from the system, followed by flashing the engine ECU.

The automatic transmission gear selector is blocked. Blocking of the selector, as a rule, is provoked by burn-out of contacts or failure of the power relay of the electric magnet of the blocking drive. To solve the problem, you will need to replace the relay.

Hanging knock. The main reason is the wear of the stabilizer struts. To solve the problem, they will need to be replaced. In addition, it is necessary to check the reliability of the connection of all suspension elements, especially the steering tips.

Noise when turning on the stove. As a rule, noise occurs due to wear of the plain bearing in the heater motor. It is recommended to replace the bearing with a rolling bearing of the same size.

The Nissan X Trail is a compact crossover produced since 2000 by the Japanese on the well-known Nissan FF-S base. Since 2007, the specialists of the Japanese division have created and released the 2nd generation X Trail Nissan, and in 2013 the world community saw the 3rd family of cars on the CMF “trolley”. This article will review the Nissan X Trail. The entire range of Nissan.

Car history

First generation (T30)

The Japanese car Nissan Xtrail 1 series was introduced by the Japanese in 2001, and the Nissan-FF-S base was taken as its basis. It would not be superfluous to recall that models such as Primera and Almera were created on it. The car was produced until 2007, and it was replaced by the 2nd series of the crossover.

The "first" Japanese had two petrol power units with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters, which produced about 140 and 165 "horses". The engines were synchronized with a five- or six-speed manual gearbox, or with a four-speed automatic transmission.

Provided front and all wheel drive. For the front and rear wheels of the Nissan X Trail 2007, an independent spring suspension was provided. The front wheels have ventilated disc brakes, and the rear wheels have simple disc devices.

Driving a Japanese crossover is not difficult, as the steering mechanism has an amplifier. When 2003 came, the company's employees carried out modernization. The changes affected the interior torpedo, which includes the dashboard, power unit tuning units, automatic gearbox and ABS.

On the technical side, the exhaust system catalyst was replaced on cars intended for Japanese consumers; instead of a double ceramic catalyst, they began to install a single metal catalyst, as for European cars.

In addition, the restyled crossover has two exclusive versions - Rider and AXIS, which differ from the outside in bumpers and grilles, rollers and the latest body colors, and inside - interior trim.

Regarding crash tests, the Japanese car received 4 out of 5 stars according to Euro NCAP tests in terms of passenger safety. But for a pedestrian, the rating was 2 stars out of 4. Russian motorists know the car of the debut family well, because the model was in great demand with us.

The vehicle is distinguished by the central location of the “tidy” in the middle part of the torpedo. Rear-mounted seats, when folded, can form a flat floor, which is a very practical solution.

Among the advantages of the crossover, they note its attractiveness, brutality, reliability, good off-road performance, functional interior, clear behavior on the roadway, comfortable suspension, good dynamics and controllability.

And also the car is quite maintainable and has affordable spare parts. Unfortunately, the paintwork of the model leaves much to be desired. In addition, there are extra noise during high speed. The automatic transmission does not work very fast, and the seats installed in the car are not the most comfortable.

The debut model of the Nissan X Trail T30 is a compact crossover, where there is a five-seat interior layout. X Trail dimensions: the crossover is 4,510 millimeters long, 1,765 millimeters wide, and 2,625 millimeters high. The wheelbase is at the level of 2,625 millimeters, and the ride height is 200 millimeters.

Gross vehicle weight of a 2007 Nissan X Trail is between 1,390 and 1,490 kilograms. The difference in weight differs by trim level, powertrain, transmission and gearbox.

Second generation (T31)

The 2nd generation Nissan X Trail made its official debut in 2007. It happened during the international Geneva Motor Show. After 3 years, the Trail T31 underwent a light restyling, thanks to which it gained a fresher appearance and interior.

The exterior of the second series was carried out in an angularly strict and simple design solution, where there were no stylistic luxury innovations. Although, thanks to such a masculine and brutal look, where there are muscular and correct proportions, it was possible to distinguish the “Japanese” from a number of passing crossover cars, which are full of enumeration of “licked” forms.

Based on the dimensions of the 2nd generation Trail T31, the vehicle can be classified as a "compact SUV". The length is 4,636 millimeters, the height is 1,700 millimeters, and the width is 1,790 mm. The wheelbase of the 2nd family is 2,630 mm, and the ride height is 210 mm.

The appearance of the cabin has a square type, an increased degree of functionality and conscientious assembly. The owner sees in front of him a multifunctional steering wheel and a “tidy”, which has a simple appearance and excellent information content.

A rather large console, installed in the center, has a screen that supports touch control, the diagonal of which is 5 inches. In addition, the console has a "music" tuning unit and other elements, as well as three "twists" of the air conditioning system.

The panel installed in front looks strict, however, quite modern. Among its features can be noted verified ergonomics. The interior of the Nissan X Trail 2 was made of plastic that looks and feels attractive, which is diluted with silver elements under aluminum.

More expensive equipment received leather upholstery. The plant workers tightly fitted all the elements of the panels together, so the gaps are small. The seats installed in front received a clear profile and quite good side support rollers. They can be adjusted in 6 different directions.

In the back row, the sofa can accommodate three passengers in a friendly way, while having a solid margin of freedom on all fronts. To improve passenger comfort, the backrest can be tilted and the climate deflectors can also be customized.

The trunk can carry about 479 liters of useful luggage and has an almost perfect layout. Below the raised floor, Nissan designers have hidden additional drawers, below which is a full-size spare wheel. If necessary, you can lay the 2nd row of seats on a flat floor, which will provide 1,773 liters of usable volume.

After the update, which took place in 2010, there was a brand new bumper, other wheel arch liners, chrome foglights, a different grille, a fresher appearance of the headlights, and other taillights where there were LEDs.

Also, the novelty had new 18-inch rollers, a new exterior of 17-inch “rollers”, a new body color palette, changes in dimensions, a more perfect combination of colors inside the car and the latest “board” of instruments.

According to Euro NCAP tests, the passenger received 4 stars out of 5 maximum during crash tests, the child also received 4 stars out of 5 possible, and the pedestrian, 2 stars out of 4 maximum.

2nd generation characteristics

It is planned to install three in-line four-cylinder engines, each of which relies on a proprietary All Mode 4 × 4-i all-wheel drive system. A two-liter MR20DE gasoline engine is considered to be standard, producing 141 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 196 Nm of maximum thrust at 4,800 rpm.

It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a standard CVT variator. As a result, the first hundred is reached by X Trail from 11.1 to 11.9 seconds, and the maximum speed is from 169 to 181 kilometers per hour. With all this, the 2.0-liter engine does not "eat" more than 8.5 - 8.7 liters.

The most productive engine is considered to be a 2.5-liter, 169 horsepower QR25DE engine, which also runs on gasoline. Power peaks at 6,000 rpm, and 233 Nm is already available at 4,400 rpm.

Together with the variable box, the crossover accelerates to the first hundred in 10.3 seconds, and the speed limit does not exceed 182 kilometers per hour. In the combined cycle, the “Japanese” consumes about 9.1 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers.

In addition to options operating on gasoline, there is a turbodiesel that has received a 2.0-liter volume (M9R). It is capable of developing 150 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and 320 Nm of torque, which is already available from 2,000 rpm. Such an “engine” can work with a mechanical 6-speed gearbox and a 6-speed “automatic”.

Diesel allows you to accelerate to the mark of 100 km / h in 11.2-12.5 seconds, and the top speed is at the level of 181-185 kilometers per hour. Such a motor does not consume so much, for every 100 kilometers no more than 6.9-8.1 liters.

The Trail T31 all-wheel drive transmission has 3 operating rules - 2WD, Auto and Lock. From the factory, all torque is transferred to the front wheels, however, up to a speed of 70 km / h, it is possible to turn on the “Auto” mode, after which, during the slippage of one of the wheels, some of the torque will be directed to the rear wheels.

By connecting the Lock mode (it only works at a speed of no more than 40 kilometers per hour), the clutch discs are always fixed, and the thrust, together with simple differentials, is transmitted between the wheels of both axles in equal order.

They decided to take the Nissan C “trolley”, which was used on the crossover, as the basis for the second generation. The Xtrail received a McPherson-type suspension in front and a multi-link system in the rear.

All wheels have ventilated disc mechanisms, where ABS, EBD and ESP technologies are present, providing precise braking. It is not difficult to drive a car, as the engineers equipped the car with an electric power steering.

Nissan X-Trail is a vivid example of how years can pass from the presentation of a car to the official start of sales. They showed a new Japanese car back in 2013. Car sales started only this summer in Europe, while in Russian car dealerships, the appearance of the Nissan X-Trail should be expected no earlier than March 2, 2015.

Collect Nissan X-Trail 2014 will be in Sunderland (UK). It is possible that a couple of cars will leave the factory near St. Petersburg, where the Japanese also have their own factory.

Exterior

The front end of the Nissan Xtrail off-road vehicle received stylish tapered headlights, which are complemented by good-looking LED running lights. The radiator grill turned out to be not very large, and it conditionally consists of 3 sections. Already standard for a car company, she knows how to stand out with a nameplate installed in the center of the company - Nissan.

The massive front bumper of the crossover almost does not protrude from the “body” of the car, but catches with the presence of its smooth aerodynamic outlines. Also, the bumper was able to place a large air intake on itself along with fog lights, which are framed by a chrome frame.

The lower part of the fairing edge also stood out on the nose of the car. It's nice that in the 3rd generation, Japanese specialists have done a great job on a new SUV design that meets all the requirements of modern automotive design.

It was decided to take the design of the Hi-Cross concept car as a basis. As a result, the car has now turned out to be completely different, not similar to its predecessor.

The nose of the 2016 X Trail has a large bonnet surface with beautifully adorned longitudinal ribs that give the front of the car a more aggressive, charismatic and sporty appearance.

It is interesting that even the standard modification of the Nissan Ixtrail has full LED headlights, which today can not be found in every car. In the lateral part, the presence of elegant side elements is pleasing, among which strong wheel arch profiles can be distinguished, with the help of which an impressive side view of the car is created.

The wheel arches have received large radii, which are intended to install tires up to 225/55 R19, which are placed on light alloy wheels. Large doors received high glazing.

The stern of the crossover fully meets the appearance of current off-road vehicles. It can be seen from the photo that the rear door, which in addition has an electric drive, takes up almost all the free space. This door is elegantly decorated with a small spoiler.

The presentability of the new generation of Nissan X-Trail cars is emphasized by the original shape of the rear position lights, which also come with LED filling, and a neatly made rear bumper.

The brand new body of an off-road car is literally painted with splashes and waves, which give the car more attractiveness, extravagance and even sportiness. As color options for body color solutions for the Nissan X-Trail, olive, black, white, gray, silver and blue are provided.

Interior

The interior of the Japanese-made novelty is European in appearance and feel. The interior is quite solid, this also applies to the plastic used, high-quality leather, and the assembly is up to the mark.

Having a good instrument cluster and optimal instrumentation, along with a set of necessary functions, is well readable. The center console looks quite stylish and modern, and all this is emphasized by the 7-inch color display of the multimedia system, along with a neat climate control unit with an additional monochrome screen.

The front row seats are quite comfortable and well thought out as a profile. The presence of a wide range of settings will allow you to choose the optimally comfortable placement. Depending on what equipment will be installed, the seats installed in front will be equipped with either mechanical or electrical adjustments, and as for heating, it is present in any configuration.

The rear-mounted sofa is designed for three passengers, there is enough free space in each direction. It's also nice that there is absolutely no transmission tunnel at the back. Thanks to the longitudinal adjustments, it becomes possible to increase the free space at the legs.

Optionally for the 3rd generation Nissan Ixtrail, you can purchase an auxiliary row of seats, which will come in handy if you have children. "Hold" has an almost perfect shape, on the floor you can find the presence of a fleecy coating, and the side parts were made of plastic.

Pleasantly pleased with the presence of the fifth door, which is equipped with an electric drive, which is very convenient and necessary. Generally speaking, the salon has changed almost beyond recognition. Many items are now actually of prestige quality. There is a good built-in navigation system, a rear camera or circular cameras.

Specifications

power unit

In the Russian market for the Nissan X-Trail, three units are offered at once: one turbodiesel and two gasoline. The base version of the car will be equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 144 horsepower.

The most productive was the 2.5-liter "four", which immediately generates 171 horsepower, coupled with 233 Nm of peak thrust. Acceleration to hundreds will require 10.5 seconds, the top speed reaches 190 km / h. In the combined cycle, gasoline consumption will not exceed 8.3 liters.

Quite unusual, but for Russian buyers they offer to install a 1.6-liter 130-horsepower dCi engine that runs on diesel fuel. Much more attractive in terms of fuel economy is a four-cylinder turbodiesel. With a capacity of 130 "horses", the crossover will spend only 5.3 liters per 100 kilometers.

Transmission

The 144-horsepower engine will be complemented by a 6-speed “mechanics” or a continuously variable CVT variator, all-wheel drive or only the front.

The 130-horsepower "engine" functions only with a manual transmission, transmitting traction to two axles. Diesel allows the car to accelerate to a speed mark of 100 km / h in 11 seconds, and a top speed of 186 kilometers per hour.

The SUV has proprietary ALL Mode 4x4i all-wheel drive technology. In standard situations, the car comes with front-wheel drive, however, when the slippage of one of the wheels is fixed by the electronics, the torque will begin to be transmitted to the rear wheels using an automated clutch that is in the rear axle.

Suspension

The third-generation Nissan X-Trail car runs on a Common Modular Family bogie with a standard chassis layout.

A McPherson suspension is installed in front, and a multi-link is installed in the back. If you take a model with front-wheel drive, then there will be a semi-independent rear suspension.

Steering

Depending on the road situation, the electric power steering can change its characteristics.

Brake system

As a braking system, disc brakes are provided with ventilation, ABS, EBD and a proprietary Brake Assist brake booster.

Dimensions

Overall body dimensions of the new Nissan X-Trail are as follows: the car is 4,640 mm long, 1,715 mm wide, 1,715 mm high, and the wheelbase is 2,705 mm. The ride height remained at the same level - 210 mm, which is quite enough to move comfortably on the roads of the Russian Federation.

Nissan Xtrail is equipped with 17-inch and 18-inch wheels. As a separate option, you can buy 19-inch wheels with an updated design.

Safety

The passive safety of the 3rd generation Nissan Ixtrail SUV includes the presence of:

• Front airbags;
• Passenger airbags with deactivation option;
• Side airbags;
• Air curtain for front and rear passengers;
• Door locks with protection against accidental opening by children;
• ISOFIX child seat anchors;
• Front three-point belts with adjustable shoulder point in height;
• Rear three-point harness with emergency shoulder point height;
• Signaling device about not fastened seat belt of the driver;
• ERA-GLONASS systems;
• Anti-lock braking system;

The third series of the famous car Nissan X Trail 3 appeared in the world premiere in autumn 2013 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The very next year, the model was tested by the independent Euro NCAP committee.

Looking ahead, we can say with confidence that the tests did not make the creators of the car worry, as eloquently indicated by 5 solid stars out of 5 possible. Paying attention to the Nissan X Trail photos and videos, this is clearly visible.

The third generation of the Nissan X Trail has been tested against Euro NCAP base points. They included "Adult Protection", "Child Passenger Safety", "Pedestrian Protection" and "Protection of Safety Systems".

The car was subjected to such tests as a front impact at a speed of 64 kilometers per hour with a deformable material obstacle, a side impact with a cart at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour and a side impact with a pole at a speed of 29 kilometers per hour.

The design of the passenger area of ​​the cabin of the Japanese crossover remained unchanged after the frontal collision. The driver's and passenger's knees and hips received a good level of security.

But if we talk about the chest of the same driver and the passenger sitting in front, then there is a possibility of minor damage to it - therefore, its protection was rated as “sufficient”. During a rear collision, the seats and their forward-mounted headrests provide good protection to the cervical spine from whiplash.

But passengers sitting in the back row were not as well protected from such injuries. During a side impact, the new 2015 Nissan X Trail already had the maximum score in its “luggage”, but with more intense contact with the pole, the driver of the car can get some damage to the chest, despite the fact that other parts of the body received a “good » protection.

Judging by the dynamic tests, it became clear that the vehicle during a frontal collision was able to protect an 18-month-old child well. That's just the load on the neck of the child (3 years old) was increased. During side contact, children are properly restrained by a special device, which reduces the likelihood of head contact with interior elements.

The passenger side front airbag can be disabled and its position is accurate to the owner. The third version of the popular crossover in Russia earned the highest score for protecting the legs of pedestrians in case of a possible impact, and by installing a high-quality front edge of the hood, a sufficient degree of safety in the pelvis area is provided.

The plane of the hood provides adequate protection for the head of pedestrians over almost the entire surface. A small degree of danger remains only in the rigid front struts. A considerable number of auxiliary systems act as basic equipment for an SUV.

Among them, the presence of a stability control system, warning technology for rows 1 and 2 of seats about unfastened seat belts, and a function that can recognize traffic signs. Such technologies fully comply with the standards of the European company NCAP.

Adult protection is 32.7 points, which is 86 percent of the maximum possible figure. The protection of child passengers was rated at 40.7 points, which equals 83 percent. Pedestrians received a score of 27.3 points, which corresponds to 75 percent. And security systems were rated at 9.8 points, which is comparable to 75 percent.

Restyling 3rd generation

Exterior restyling

Cardinal changes in the exterior took place between the 1st and 2nd Ixtrail family. Thanks to the change in styling, the 2018 X Trail has improved its position, using the presence of smooth streamlined shapes. We have to admit that they are great at it.

The new one looks great. The design team was able to find a good balance between elegant and aggressive features, without which the crossover cannot do. The most tangible changes can be seen, as usual, ahead.

The chrome trim located on the radiator grille has increased in size. Changed the look of the headlights. The front bumper became massive and received rectangular fog lamps of horizontal design.

The American continent sells the car under the name Nissan Rogue. The car has all the required updates that will reach the European market only in 2018.

It turns out that the previously known car was slightly changed, however, it left common features. Experts have repeatedly noted that the appearance of the off-road version is quite stable. In the center of the grille is a wide U-shaped chrome molding.

Another chrome molding emphasizes the line of the front bumper, which greatly enlivens the appearance of the SUV. With the original combination of chrome parts with silver LED lighting on the front area of ​​the car, the appearance has become more attractive, prettier and more stylish.

Thanks to proportional and rounded contours throughout the body, the Nissan X Trail 2017-2018 has lost its brutality and aggressiveness. Instead, the model now looks more elegant and attractive. Increased in size and rear lights. In the Nissan X Trail 2017, they have LED elements.

Restyled interior

From the photo of the interior, it is easy to understand that the interior has not received major updates. If the appearance of the 2017 Nissan X Trail has an abundance of chrome elements, then a similar trend can be traced inside the car.

Those who visited the modernized interior of the Japanese SUV felt the desire of the design team to create a pleasant and comfortable environment in the cabin. Despite the fact that a minimum of changes was made to the basic version, improved configurations made it possible to make the interior softer, more pleasant to the touch, which applies not only to leather, but also to plastic.

For the driver of the car, they provided for steering wheel adjustment for reach and height and seat adjustment using an electric drive. For the front row of seats provided the function of electric heating. With the help of restyling and the absence of a transmission tunnel, the volume of the aft area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe cabin was increased.

The luggage compartment received a volume of 497 liters of usable space. The door itself opens automatically. With the seats folded down, the volume increases to 900 liters. The back door is closed by pressing a special button.

Restyling engine

There is no talk about the fact that work is underway to develop a new power unit. Based on the fact that in the United States of America, vehicles are sold with the popular 2.5-liter, 171-horsepower gasoline engine, there are no plans to replace the power plants for the 2018 Nissan X-Trail model year. Therefore, technically, new engines will not be installed.

Intuitive full drive d

The novelty has an intelligent all-wheel drive system All-Mode 4 × 4-I. The all-wheel drive system of the Japanese crossover almost instantly knows how to redistribute torque to those wheels that have the best grip on the road surface, which helps to maintain handling and quality of movement. Thanks to this, the driver feels more confident on wet or snowy pavement and it is easy to pass even the steepest turns.
