The Japanese company, Nissan has been facing some choppy waters in the Indian market for some time now, with only two products on offer the Magnite and the Kicks. While the former has been due for an update for a long time, the latter is based on an ageing platform in need of an overhaul. So, in a bid to reaffirm its footing, the brand showcased three of its globally popular SUVs last week: the X-Trail, the Qashqai, and the Juke. However, out of three, only the X-Trail is likely to come to India. But with a barrage of SUVs to choose from, what does the Nissan X-Trail offer to stand out from the competition?
Many might not remember but the X-Trail was sold in India in its first- and second-generation avatar. While we never got the third-generation offering, the fourth-gen model appears to be the company's next big bet. Available in both 5 and 7-seater options, the SUV is built on the company's CMF-C platform; it comes with a sharp and premium design. The front features a large grille, reminiscent of the Nissan Kicks. It is flanked by two sleek pairs of LED headlamps with DRLs. From the side, you'll notice a strong profile, with a broad C-pillar, helping it in giving the appearance of a rugged SUV. A similar theme is carried on the rear as well, with the layered tailgate design and a chunky lower-skid plate giving it an appearance of a no-nonsense SUV.
