The design of the X-Trail has evolved from the square-shaped edges of its predecessors to a sleeker, more desirable vehicle for the current year.
Exterior
The redesign of the Nissan X-Trail has made it more attractive to a wider range of customers in the SUV market. With its fluidic lines, boomerang-shaped lights, and curved muscular edges, it now sports a more stylish and athletic look. Measuring 4.64 meters long, 1.82 meters wide, and 1.71 meters high, it’s compact on the outside but spacious on the inside.
