For years, the Nissan X-Trail has enjoyed the patronage of families needing an SUV, offering reliability, stylishness, and versatility, writes Tim Barnes-Clay.
This new grade takes the iconic electrified family SUV a bold step further, appealing to those who love nothing more than exploring the great outdoors and having fun with the family.
Head-Turning Design
Sitting between the N-Connecta and Tekna grades, the X-Trail N-Trek boasts a real visual attitude, highlighting the car’s more rugged character. Beefier, chunkier lower bumpers are both front and rear, with smart gunmetal finishes and integrated LED fog lamps to light the way off-road. Add 18-inch diamond-cut gloss black alloy wheels, and it’s an almost stealthy touch; the gloss black wing mirrors, dark roof rails, and trim really create a purposeful wide stance that demands attention on and off the road.
Interior Built for Adventure
Step inside the X-Trail N-Trek, and you’ll notice a cabin designed with a gung-ho spirit. Water-resistant wipe-clean upholstery is a real bonus for families who often return to their vehicle after indulging in sport or outdoor activity. Whether you’ve been trail running, mountain biking, or even just jumping puddles with the kids, you’ll be able to get into your Nissan without feeling anxious about dirty upholstery.
Inside, the five or seven-seat interior is further enhanced by practical touches such as rubber floor mats and a reversible boot liner. The model remains fully compatible with the full range of X-Trail accessories, including towbars, roof bars, bike racks, and cargo area organisers, so you can tailor your vehicle to suit your family’s needs.
Powertrain Performance
The X-Trail N-Trek is available solely with Nissan’s pioneering e-POWER and e-4ORCE powertrains, which have been engineered for both efficiency and performance. Using a turbocharged three-cylinder, 1.5-litre engine with variable compression ratio technology, the N-Trek generates electricity to charge the vehicle’s battery.
Meanwhile, in the two-wheel-drive e-POWER, a single motor drives the front wheels; in the advanced e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive model, a motor is at each axle. This system can make up to 10,000 adjustments in power delivery every second to optimise traction and stability for dynamic off-road conditions.
It delivers a smooth, seamless driving experience similar to a pure electric vehicle and is capable of handling even the most challenging terrains – all with no external charging required.
For Families Who Are Adventurous
The X-Trail N-Trek is more than an SUV; it’s a way into the spirit of adventure.
“We initiated the development of the X-Trail N-Trek under the simple motto: Let’s Get Dirty,” comments Nissan’s Arnaud Charpentier, Region Vice President Marketing & Mobility. “It resonates particularly among a core group of X-Trail customers who love to spend time in the great outdoors, seeking to make long-lasting memories with their families. Add to this some unique design touches and pretty exciting two-tone paint options; that’s a compelling formula for families that love to explore.”
In summary, the Nissan X-Trail N-Trek renews the brand’s commitment to adventure while ensuring comfort and practicality for families. If you want to take your family outings further and “get dirty,” the X-Trail N-Trek is ready to lead the way.
