Japanese automaker Nissan has introduced the facelifted version of the current generation X-Trail in the USA (known as Rogue in America). Nissan gave us a glimpse of the updated SUV a few days back in a commercial. It will go on sale in the USA before the end of this year, while its Indian launch will happen in the current fiscal year. Though Nissan has showcased the pre-facelift model at the 2016 Indian Auto Expo, expect the updated 2017 X-Trail to be launched here instead of the previous model. As the American version is also manufactured in Japan, from where Nissan India will be importing the X-Trail through CBU (Completely Built Unit) route.

On the inside, the 2017 X-Trail will feature a brand new flat-bottom steering wheel, which made its debut with the India-bound Kicks. Rest of the layout has largely remained same except for subtle changes to the elements such as new door and instrument panel finishers, new shift knob design, revised center console and console lid and new seat fabric.

Mechanicals

Mechanically, the 2017 X-Trail carried forward its 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol in the American market, however, with the facelift the India-bound hybrid version will make its debut in the States. In India, Nissan will only launch the hybrid version of the SUV. It is powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine coupled to an electric motor and the powertrain is mated to a CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic.
