2017 Nissan X-Trail: Comprehensive Review and Distinctive Specifications
Among all the SUVs, the 2017 Nissan X-Trail stands out with specifications that make it one of the best compact SUVs in the Saudi market. It is known for its smooth driving experience, spacious interior, powerful engine, and a host of intriguing technology and safety features. While its predecessor was characterized by sharp lines and clear curves, the new model presents a more streamlined and elegant design for this year.
Exterior Design
The new design of the X-Trail makes it more appealing to a broader range of buyers and SUV enthusiasts. It features a flowing profile, triangular angular headlights, and muscular curved sides that give it a sportier and more modern look. The X-Trail measures 4.64 meters in length, with a width and height of 1.82 meters and 1.71 meters, respectively.
Interior Design
The interior design of the Nissan X-Trail exudes luxury with its dark upholstery and glossy black trim throughout the cabin. The spacious interior accommodates three rows of seats, comfortably fitting up to seven people, distinguishing it from other vehicles in its class. The second-row seats can be adjusted to provide more legroom, though this negatively impacts the third row, making it suitable only for children. The steering wheel is adjustable, allowing you to find a comfortable driving position by raising, lowering, or bringing it closer.
Features
The X-Trail has achieved a five-star safety rating from the Australian New Car Assessment Program, equipped with numerous safety features, including:
- 6 airbags
- Rearview camera
- Cruise control
- Blind spot detection system
It also includes several technological features such as a smart key, touchscreen display, daytime running LED lights, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Specifications
The 2017 Nissan X-Trail is available in three variants: one with a two-wheel drive and two with all-wheel drive. All variants are equipped with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine that produces 171 horsepower and 226 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission. It offers ample comfort on paved roads but has modest capabilities on rough terrain. The vehicle can travel 100 km with 8.2 liters of fuel.
Conclusion
As a family SUV, the 2017 Nissan X-Trail is a solid choice in the market. Its safety features, smooth driving experience, and spacious interior make it a strong competitor against vehicles like the Hyundai Tucson. With prices ranging from 75,320 to 105,900 Saudi Riyals, its benefits far outweigh its cost.
