The X-Trail's arrival marks its return to India after eight years as the previous generation model was discontinued in 2014. Originally launched in India in 2005, the X-Trail has been a popular model globally. In 2022, Nissan showcased the latest version of the X-Trail to understand its potential for the Indian market. Since then, the new X-Trail has been spotted undergoing testing on Indian roads.

Nissan X-Trail - Price & Rivals 

The Japanese automaker plans to import the X-Trail to India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), which will likely result in a higher price point. Once launched, the X-Trail will compete with large SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, Hyundai Tucson, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Citroen C5 Aircross.

Nissan X-Trail - Dimensions 

The fourth-generation Nissan X-Trail measures 4,680 mm in length, 2,065 mm in width and 1,725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,705 mm and a ground clearance of 205 mm. Nissan may adjust these dimensions for the Indian market. Globally, the X-Trail is available in both 5-seater and 7-seater configurations.
