Nissan X-Trail for sale in Kenya

About the Nissan X-Trail

The Nissan X-Trail, which was introduced in 2001, is a multi-purpose compact crossover SUV that blends pleasant on-road driving manners and family-friendly practicality with noteworthy off-road capability, just as its ‘X-Trail’ name suggests. According to Nissan, the X-Trail was declared one of the most popular SUVs in the world in 2016 based on its global sales statistics.

Here in Kenya, it has also continued to win over people looking to import SUVs or buy used ones over the years. Most Kenyans love it for its affordability, high ground clearance, its impressive utility, and its overall good value. The X-Trail is also available with either 2WD or AWD.

Let’s have a look at what a used Nissan X-Trail in Kenya has to offer.

What are the main features of a Nissan X-Trail?

The 1st and 2nd-generation models of the X-Trail have grilles and front/rear bumpers that are ruggedly-styled to emphasize the SUV’s 4WD character. Their boxy designs also make them look strong and hardy. On the outside, they may feature 17-Inch alloy rims, roof rails, foglights, and halogen headlights. The 3rd-generation models (2013-2020) embody Nissan’s more recent design language, featuring boomerang-shaped daytime running lights and taillights and a more fluid body shape.

On the inside, most X-Trail models feature numerous storage points like a center console storage bin, a glovebox, a dashboard storage shelf, and front-door storage pockets. They may also offer air conditioning, manual/power adjustable front seats, cloth/leather seat upholstery, and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls.

How spacious is the Nissan X-Trail?

Thanks to its high roof and boxy shape, the 1st and 2nd-generation X-Trail models offer more than enough headspace in both rows for tall passengers. They also offer five supportive seats with sufficient legroom for each passenger in both rows. The 3rd-generation models (2013-2020) also offer sufficient headroom despite their lower, curvier rooflines. Also, thanks to their slightly longer wheelbases, these models offer more legroom in the second row. They are also available in either two-row or three-row configurations, meaning that 3rd-generation X-Trail models can carry up to seven passengers.

The Nissan X-Trail also excels in the boot space department, offering a healthy 603 liters of space in its 2nd-generation models and 550 liters of space in its 3rd-generation models.

Also worth noting is the rear seats of all X-Trail models can be folded down to create even more space for shopping, cargo, or luggage.

Depending on the vehicle’s configuration, these engines may pair with a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or a CVT. The turbo diesel engine is the most efficient, delivering up to 15.2 kilometres per litre in the FWD models.
