The current Nissan X Trail has entered a new direction in its design. With another successful midsize SUV, Nissan made the X Trail in a different approach and still come up with a great product. The 2018 Nissan X Trail is currently one of the most popular new cars in Oman, and such lofty reputation is justified.
Exterior
The current generation of the X Trail departs from the trademark boxy look of its predecessors. Despite that, the current car’s body shell is still as handsome and dynamic as ever. The front end is revised to better reflect Nissan’s current V-Motion grille design, and daytime running lights are now added as standard equipment. Smoked LED taillights change up the rear end’s look. 17-inch alloy wheels also come as standard equipment.

Interior
The interior of the X Trail is one of its best assets. The interior elements and dimensions are largely unchanged compared to the 2016 model, but it has some improvements. A new three-spoke steering wheel, a dashboard made with better soft-touch materials, and better upholstery (especially in the higher-end models) make the overall appointments of the interior even better. This car offers adequate front and rear space, with third-row seats coming as an optional feature.
Features
The standard safety features of the 2018 Nissan X Trail have been expanded. The infotainment system can be manipulated using the standard 5-inch touchscreen, with a bigger 7-inch unit an optional feature.

Specs
There is only one drivetrain option available in the 2018 Nissan X Trail. A 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 171 horsepower is standard for all trims. This is connected to Nissan’s latest CVT transmission that reads your needs in almost every driving situation. Nissan’s 4-wheel drive system is now also standard in all trim levels, a shift from the previous generations’ availability of 2-wheel drive. The performance is robust enough for most occasions, and fuel economy is excellent for an engine of its size.
Verdict
The 2018 Nissan X Trail is one of the best cars you can get from their showrooms. It has just about everything you’ll ask for in a midsize crossover. Sure, it has its flaws, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a class rival that is as balanced as the X Trail.
