As a reminder, the previous generation of the X-Trail was phased out in India due to poor car demand. However, this time when SUV sales are all time high it makes a lot of sense for the company to bring it back. Besides the hybrid power train, the new Nissan X-Trail 2017 will have more up-market interior and better on and off-road capabilities. The new models will be powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine coupled to a 32kW electric motor. Power will be transmitted to all-4 wheels via Nissan X-Tronic CVT unit.

Price and Lunch date

The new generation Nissan X-Trail is the first hybrid car of the Nissan is lunched in India around September 2017. The new X-Trail Hybrid prices might fall within the range of Rs. 32 Lake– Rs. 35 Lake (ex-showroom).

Nissan X-Trail Hybrid Engine Specification

Engine	2.0-litre Petrol with a 32kw Electric Motor
Maximum Power	179bhp
Maximum Torque	207Nm
Transmission	X-tronic CVT
Drive train System	Nissan’s Electronic 4WD

The India-bound X-Trail is all about its clever drive train. There’s a 2-litre, in-line 4-cylinder petrol engine paired to a 32kW electric motor for a total power output of around 180bhp. All that power is sent to the road via Nissan's Dual Clutch Control. This hybrid arrangement is available in Nissan’s front-engine, front-wheel-drive cars only which means the forthcoming X-Trail Hybrid will not feature all-wheel drive. The X-Trail Hybrid will be introduced as a fully imported model which is why we are expecting it to cost well over Rs 30 Lake. Now even though that is expensive, buyers would be pleased to know there is nothing quite like the X-trail Hybrid as it’s the first ever luxury hybrid crossover to be sold in India. 

The Expected mileage of Nissan X-Trail is around 10Kmpl to  12Kmpl.

The Nissan X-Trail On the outside, the X-Trail Hybrid looks quirky and striking thanks to the high-set hood and the ‘V’ chrome accent on the grille. Also improving the road presence are the striking pair of headlights featuring LEDs. In profile, the X-Trail remains calm and features of X-Trail and subtle design curves. The delicately flared wheel arches and minimal cladding all around lend a very functional look to this car. Lastly, the rear-end design, though not as impact fool as the front-end, looks attractive with those nicely detailed taillights and a big tailgate.
