Nissan will make some improvements to the new “X-Trail” and release it in June 2024. It is rumored that a minor change will be made in 2024, but it is scheduled to take place in 2025. When I checked with the dealer, it seems that only some improvements have been made this time, and the current model is available as of April 2024, so I think it will be possible to order the improved model for June due to the order stoppage soon.

New model “X-Trail” fully remodeled, equipped with omnidirectional driving support system “360° Safety Assist”

“360° Safety Assist” consists of seven types of advanced driving support systems. “Intelligent Emergency Brake”, “Press Misapplication Collision Prevention Assist”, “Adaptive High Beam Assist/High Beam A”, “Reversing Vehicle Detection Alert RCTA”, “Intelligent LI/LDW (Lane Departure Warning)”, “RCTA Reversing Vehicle Detection Alert”, “Sign Detection” Adopt “Function”.

Intelligent Emergency Brake  Front camera detects vehicles ahead (approx. 10-80 km/h) and pedestrians (approximately 60 km/h or less). It also works when driving at night. If the possibility of a collision increases, a warning message will be displayed on the meter display and a buzzer will alert the driver, prompting the driver to take evasive action. In the unlikely event that the driver is unable to decelerate safely, the system supports collision avoidance operations using the brakes or reduces damage and injuries in the event of a collision.

Misapplication Collision Prevention Assist  If you are parking in a place with walls in the direction of travel (less than approximately 15km/h), if your brake operation is delayed or if you mistakenly press the accelerator pedal for the brake pedal, it will warn you and stop the engine.

Intelligent LI/LDW (Lane Departure Warning)  If you are about to deviate from your lane unintentionally, a visual and audible warning alerts you.

Adaptive High Beam Assist/High Beam Assist  A forward detection camera detects the lights of preceding and oncoming vehicles, as well as the brightness around the road, and automatically switches between high and low beams.

RCTA Vehicle Detection Alarm When Reversing  When there is a risk of colliding with a vehicle that is crossing behind the vehicle when reversing, a warning alerts the driver.

Intelligent BSI (Rear Side Collision Prevention System)  If it detects a vehicle running behind or to the side of an adjacent lane that is likely to be in a blind spot, it will notify the driver with a display, and if the driver starts changing lanes, the system will alert the driver and alert the driver. The system generates a force that moves the vehicle back into its lane, assisting the driver in avoiding collisions with vehicles in adjacent lanes.

Sign detection function (no entry sign detection, maximum speed sign detection, stop sign detection)  The front camera detects “no entry signs”, “maximum speed signs”, and “stop signs” in front. A warning message is displayed on the meter display and a buzzer alerts the driver.

Intelligent Rearview Mirror  The Intelligent Rearview Mirror projects camera images from the rear of the vehicle onto the mirror surface.

Intelligent Cruise Control  If a vehicle in front is detected, the vehicle will follow the vehicle within a range of approximately 100 km/h from a stop, with the vehicle speed set by the driver (approximately 30 to 100 km/h) as the upper limit, maintaining a distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front.

The interior is fully equipped with the latest equipment.

The interior was designed to have a luxurious yet casual feel, creating an interior space that gives a sense of security when riding. The visibility of the 12.3-inch large full LCD digital meter from the “Display Audio” meter was very good. The 12.3-inch large full LCD digital meter gives off a sense of freshness rather than luxury.

The navigation system is the “NissanConnect infotainment system,” and we hope that this will evolve from its current state.

The center console and shift lever use a design that is starting to be used in many Nissan cars, which is great. The location of the electric parking brake and hold button is very easy to press, and I felt that the charging position was located in a very convenient place, just by placing it next to the drink holder.

The 2nd row rear seats are spacious with independent temperature adjustment function.

The rear seats are very spacious and comfortable. It is wonderful that the Grade G is equipped with an “air conditioner independent temperature control function” as standard, allowing you to adjust the temperature of the rear seats. Additionally, the second row of seats can be moved forward and backward. Grade G is equipped with a “roll sunshade” to protect you from sunlight. (It is not adopted on the Harrier even in higher grades or as an option.)

The third row is a bonus.

I was able to ride the 3-row  X-Trail , and although it’s as easy to ride as the previous model, it’s a size that makes it very uncomfortable for adults to ride.

Equipped with the 360° Safety Assist omnidirectional driving support system, which is equipped with top-class safety equipment.

“360° Safety Assist,” which has improved functionality compared to the previous model, is comprised of seven types of advanced driver assistance systems. “Intelligent Emergency Brake”, “Press Misapplication Collision Prevention Assist”, “Adaptive High Beam Assist/High Beam A”, “Reversing Vehicle Detection Alert RCTA”, “Intelligent LI/LDW (Lane Departure Warning)”, “RCTA Reversing Vehicle Detection Alert”, “Sign Detection” Adopt “Function”.

Equipped with 2nd generation e-POWER + VC turbo engine

Equipped with the 2nd generation “e-POWER”, which has improved strength, smoothness, and quietness by updating the motor and inverter. The engine that generates electricity uses the VC Turbo Engine, a variable compression ratio engine that can freely vary the compression ratio from 8 to 14, which Nissan has successfully mass-produced for the first time in the world.The VC Turbo is tuned for e-POWER. The adoption of this new engine significantly improves output, and by reducing engine speed, it also contributes to fuel efficiency.
