Nissan X-Trail for sale in Kenya

The 1st generation of the Nissan X-Trail dubbed the T30 first went on sale in November 2000 in Japan. Unlike the off-road-oriented Nissan Terrano II SUV that preceded it, the 5-passenger T30 is more at home on paved roads thanks to the fact that it is built upon the Nissan FF-S platform, the same platform that was used on the Nissan Almera and the Nissan Primera models of that time. The X-Trail T30 offers impressive off-road capability when called upon thanks to its high ground clearance and its optional ALL MODE 4X4i system. It features rugged yet classy exterior styling, with a boxy shape that yields plenty of space for both passengers and cargo. The T30 also offers sure-footed handling, good steering, and compliant rides. In 2003, the X-Trail T30 got a facelift that included minor exterior and interior styling changes as well as options like a pop-up steering system, a hyper roof rail, a CarWings infotainment system, and a navigation system. Many models of this JDM X-Trail T30 are offered with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter QR20DE 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 110 kW / 148 hp and 200 Nm / 147 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine paired with a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. The GT models are offered with a turbocharged 2.0-liter SR20VET 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 206 kW / 276 hp and 309 Nm / 228 lb-ft of torque. The Nissan X-Trail T30 is also available in special-edition Axis Autech and Rider Autech models that feature exclusively styled exteriors and interiors.

The redesigned 2nd generation Nissan X-Trail (dubbed the T31) was launched on 22nd of August 2007 in Japan. With the X-Trail T31, Nissan basically improved on the strengths of the T30 generation. The T31 models greatly resemble the T30 models in terms of their design philosophy, only that the T31 models look sleeker with more dynamic lines and curves. The X-Trail T31 is also beefier and larger than the T30 (5.1 inches longer and 1.6 inches wider) so it has a more dominant presence. The X-Trail T31 models also offer a more refined interior with high quality materials, plenty of seating space, and copious utility. These 2nd-generation models also offer better off-road capability thanks to their high ground clearance, their tougher underbody protection, and their more advanced 4X4 system. In 2010, the T31 X-Trail got a facelift that included revised front fascia styling, LED rear combination lamps, a different wheel design, additional color options, finer interior materials, and several other tech features. In terms of engine options, the JDM 2nd generation X-Trail can be had with a 2.0-liter MR20DE 4-cylinder petrol engine, a 2.5-liter QR25DE 4-cylinder petrol engine, or a turbocharged 2.0-liter M9R 4-cylinder common rail diesel engine. The Nissan X-Trail T31 is also offered in special-edition Axis Autech and Rider Autech models that feature exclusively styled, premium-looking exteriors and interiors.

In December 2013, Nissan again launched a new, fully redesigned version of the Nissan X-Trail that was based on the new Nissan/Renault Common Module Family (CMF) platform. Compared to the prior platform, this platform is more refined, yielding lower levels of road noise, vibrations, and harshness, so the T32 X-Trail can be said to be more pleasant to drive. This generation, dubbed the T32, looks quite different from its prior models. Its exterior styling cues and its overall silhouette are way more dynamic and stylish, emphasizing the fact that the new X-Trail T32 is an all-new model that offers new, more modern aspects. The T32 is also just as long as the post-facelift T31 X-Trail but just slightly wider and shorter. The T32 X-Trail also offers a roomy and refined cabin that can be had in 2-row and 3-row options, meaning that the T32 X-Trail can accommodate up to 7 passengers. The T32 X-Trail also offers a wider selection of safety features. Its engine options are also more fuel efficient.

The 2nd-generation 20S and 20X grades come equipped with a 2.0-liter MR20DE 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 101 kW / 135 hp and 200 Nm / 147 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). In the pre-facelift models of these grades (2007-2010), this engine delivers a fuel economy of up to 14 km per liter (in the 2WD models), but in the post-facelift models (2010-2013), the fuel economy goes down to 12 km per liter (in the 2WD models). The 25S 4WD and 25X 4WD X-Trail T31 grades feature a larger 2.5-liter QR25DE 4-cylinder petrol engine rated at 125 kW / 168 hp and 230 Nm / 170 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with an Xtronic CVT that includes a 6-speed manual mode. In the pre-facelift models of these grades (2007-2010), this 2.5-liter engine delivers a fuel economy of 11.6 km per liter, while in the post-facelift models, the fuel economy again goes down to 10.6 km per liter. The X-Trail T31 20GT Clean Diesel 4WD grade comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter M9R 4-cylinder common rail diesel engine rated at 127 kW / 170 hp and 360 Nm / 265 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. According to Nissan, this engine can deliver a fuel economy of up to 15 km per liter in all 20GT models.

The Japanese 3rd-generation X-Trail models, on the other hand, feature only two engine options. One is a 2.0-liter MR20DD 4-cylinder petrol engine rated at 108 kW / 145 hp and 207 Nm / 153 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to fuel saving technologies like start & stop technology, this engine delivers an improved fuel economy of up to 16.4 km per liter in the 2WD models. The other engine option is a hybrid version of the MR20DD engine that was made available from 2015. This hybrid engine pairs the MR20DD engine with an electric motor that is connected to a large lithium-ion battery pack. According to Nissan, this engine delivers a fuel economy of up to 20.6 km per liter. Both of these T32 engines pair with an Xtronic CVT.

The 2nd-generation Nissan X-Trail looks rugged yet stylish. Its boxy shape and beefy styling cues make it look big, more like a midsize SUV.

The T32 X-Trail also offers a washable luggage board, and its 2nd-row and 3rd-row seats can also be folded down to create room for more cargo. While the 2nd-generation T31 X-Trail offers more cargo space, the T32 Nissan X-Trail offers a greater maximum seating capacity of 7 passengers. As such, the T32 X-Trail is ideal for large families.

The 2nd-generation Nissan X-Trail also offers many tech features. Depending on the grade/model, it may feature an intelligent key system with a keyless start feature. This system senses your key fob as you approach and enables you to unlock the front doors by pressing a button on the door handle. Once you enter the SUV, you get to start the engine by just pressing a start button. The T31 X-Trail may also feature a 4-speaker/6-speaker AM/FM audio system with a CD player that has MP3 reading capability. This system may also include iPod connectivity via a USB connection.

It also features front and rear crumple zones, a Nissan Anti-Theft Safety System, front seatbelt pretensioners with load limiters, and child restraint anchorage points in the rear seats. This generation also comes equipped with a system called the Electronic Stability Program (also called Vehicle Dynamic Control). This system monitors the directional control of the SUV and automatically applies brakes while reducing engine output when it senses oversteer, understeer, or wheel slippage. This generation also features an anti-lock brake system that prevents wheel lock when emergency brakes are applied, an Electronic Brake Force Distribution system that varies the amount of brake pressure that is applied at each wheel depending on the vehicle’s load, and a Brake Assist system that facilitates the application of maximum brake pressure when you are applying emergency brakes; this makes the SUV stop sooner. This generation also has an Active Brake Limited Slip feature that applies brakes to a spinning/slipping wheel and transfers power and torque to the wheels that have better traction.

The 3rd-generation Nissan X-Trail also inherits all the safety features of the 2nd-generation X-Trail. This generation also offers an optional Intelligent Parking Assist system that automates parking for you by automatically steering the SUV into the parking spot when you get within close range of the desired parking spot; it can perform both reverse parking and parallel parking. The higher grades also feature an optional Emergency Brake Package that includes an Emergency Braking system and a Fixed Stepping Collision Prevention Assist system that both help to prevent collisions with pedestrians or traffic ahead, a Lane Departure Warning system that warns you when the SUV starts to drift out of its lane, and a Rear-side Vehicle Detection Alarm that warns you of vehicles that are coming up from behind when you are reversing out of a parking spot. As from the 2015 model, however, this Emergency Brake Package became a standard feature in all 3rd-generation X-Trail grades.
