Nissan New Zealand will launch an all-new version of the popular X-Trail towards the end of 2022, with a new platform and four-wheel-drive system.

Last year, Nissan NZ sold 2491 X-Trail SUVs, making it the 10th most popular passenger vehicle here.

The all-new X-Trail also welcomes a powerful new exterior design, a cabin delivers both practicality and a premium experience, and a host of new technology features.

“The Nissan X-Trail has been a family favourite in New Zealand for more than 20 years, with more than 21,000 vehicles sold since its launch here in 2001,” says Nissan New Zealand Managing Director, Ben Hamilton.

“That’s an impressive legacy to protect, and it’s one we take very seriously. Which is why the all-new X-Trail introduces a bold new look, incredible technology and safety features, and even more capability, all while still sticking true to its heritage of unlocking fun and adventure for Kiwi families.”

New LED headlights, a stylish “floating” roofline, and the evolved Nissan V-Motion grille are joined by a fashion-first for the X-Trail – the ability to specify two-tone body colours.

Inside, easy-to-use technology meets easy-to-live-in space, with premium look-and-feel materials and the latest in Nissan infotainment technology.

Nissan’s most advanced SUV to date is also its most capable, with the all-new X-Trail debuting an Intelligent 4x4 system with direct coupling that reacts faster than ever before, allowing for the seamless transfer of power between axles for the ultimate in stability and traction. It also has Hill Descent Control and five distinct drive modes.

More detailed specification will be revealed closer to its official launch.
