Nissan X-Trail Test Drive

Nissan X-Trail is a compact crossover SUV by Nissan in the Indian market. The SUV was first launched in 2001 but due to its high price and standard features the car was not able to stand up to the expectations of the people. In November 2011, the special edition of this car was launched to attract the Indian buyers. This special edition model has 10 new advanced features if compared to the previous model; there are also some changes in the interior and the exterior of the car to make it look more attractive.

The handling includes the power steering wheel with 6 speed manual transmission and is available in 4WD. The suspension system in the car is the independent strut suspension in the front and Multi-link independent suspension in the rear.
