New Nissan X-Trail 2018 model year... Let's be frank: there is nothing fundamentally new in this "Japanese" crossover. Especially if you follow the novelties of the world car industry at least in the slightest degree. Don't follow? Then here: back in September last 2016, an updated ("local" name of our "X") was presented in the United States, and in March 2017, the Chinese market visited just Well, at the beginning of the summer of the same 2017, the novelty finally debuted on the European market - with the traditional prefix "2018 model year". And is it worth saying that "American" differs from "Chinese" with "European" only in the letters of the name?

In general - not news. Especially considering that, in addition to the exterior design, the Nissan X-Trail is not so new: the same engines, but slightly larger and better equipment inside. Already interested? Then below - in more detail.

Exterior

We will not scold or praise the updated Nissan X-Trail - there are enough fans and opponents of this or that style on the Web. However, it is hard not to notice that the exterior is very close to the exterior: very similar head optics, branded "V" radiator grilles and not so different bumper.

Fortunately, the rear of the visual differences has much more: a different shape of the taillights, a less sloping glass in the tailgate, a different bumper shape.

And, of course, the dimensions: 4675 mm overall length of the "older" X-Trail versus the modest 4377 mm for the Qashqai.

New LED head optics with an adaptive lighting system should be attributed to the innovations of the technical plan on the item "exterior" - but only in the top-end modifications of the crossover. The traditional "new things" include new wheels and bright body colors. By the way, it was in a new fiery orange dress that this crossover debuted in Europe.

Interior

Inside the revamped X-Trail… Almost nothing revamped: the eye catches only on the revised steering wheel, beveled below. It is, as before, three-spoke, but the range of buttons has been revised for the better (hopefully) side. And, of course, where without loud words about "better interior materials"?

Otherwise, there are no obvious differences: the center console is unchanged, dashboard - without changes. However, let's get better: nevertheless, the updated crossover received a slightly different front console in front of the front passenger, and the updated multimedia system received an updated NissanConnect navigator and a new interface in the style of mobile design.

An increase of three centimeters in overall length had a positive effect on the rear passengers and the overall utility of the car: a slightly shifted sofa gave a little more legroom, and the trunk grew from 550 to an "impressive" 565 liters. Traditionally, the counting goes "at full" load from an empty niche in the underground to the top shelf of the trunk. Bonus - trunk sensors: now, as in more expensive Nissan, new Ixtrail can be "kicked" to automatically open the fifth door.

Equipment

Here Nissan X-Trail 2018 model year also does not show miracles - there is still very serious competition in its segment and an increase in even seemingly insignificant "buns" of equipment can seriously change the price of the crossover. But, fortunately, it was not without innovations either: for example, now "X" can boast of heating not only the front seats, but also the back sofa, and the basic version has a digital radio. True, in Russia this miracle of technology has not yet taken root very well.

But the main innovation is, of course, the autopilot. Alas, not as smart as Tesla's .. And not as sophisticated ... And for the same reason, he is not a full autopilot either: the ProPilot system can recognize road markings, "read" signs and identify obstacles, and also try to drive a car in the mode of not only the high-speed highway, but also in a boring city traffic jam - but everything is within the same lane. But even this "autopilot" will not appear in the crossover immediately with the start of sales: it is promised to be introduced "during 2018" as part of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility complex, in which, in addition to the mentioned ProPilot, the emergency braking system will also be included (with the addition of the recognition function pedestrians), as well as a parking assist in reverse.

Motor range

Here new X-Trail 2018 did not show anything new at all: diesel 130- and 177-horsepower engines and a gasoline 163-horsepower power unit, supplemented by a choice between a manual 6-speed gearbox and a CVT. This, of course, is the proposal of the European market - in Russia the crossover will (probably) be presented with already known motors:

• petrol 2-liter 144 hp
• petrol 2.5-liter 171 hp
• diesel 1.6-liter 130 hp

The drive is familiar: front and full.

The start of sales of the updated X-Trail in Europe is the end of summer 2017. Until the end of the current year, the novelty will also be presented at russian market... It should also be noted that, according to official data, production updated crossover will be organized on the "native" conveyor in St. Petersburg

Nissan products are confidently in the top 25 best-selling in Russia car brands... At the same time, the X-Trail SUV is in first place in demand among all cars of the Japanese brand.

Updated appearance

Experts note the stability of the design in the appearance of the crossover. The mid-size SUV is still recognizable, although of course the face of the car has changed. In the center of the grille, a wide U-shaped chrome molding has appeared, in the middle of which is the brand name.

Second chrome molding outlines the line front bumper, very enlivening the appearance of the car. The original combination of chrome elements with silvery LED lighting on the front of the body make the appearance attractive, attractive and stylish. And the proportional and rounded contours of the entire body have deprived new nissan x-trail 2018 of brutal aggressiveness, replacing it with a modern, elegant and attractive appearance.

The front and rear optics have become larger in size. Now it also contains LED elements. The advanced trims are decorated with roof rails and a large panoramic sunroof. The light alloy wheels are also presented in a new design and are available in sizes 17 - 19 inches.

Salon redesign

Those who have already managed to visit the updated interior of the crossover note the desire of the designers to create a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere in the cockpit.

Currently have official dealers you can buy a car in the price range of 1.264 - 1.872 million rubles. In Europe, the updated model should appear in 2018. According to forecasts, on domestic market the car will appear at about the same time.

In the spring of this year, a presentation of the restyling of the third generation of the Nissan X-Trail 2018 crossover took place in Japan. Despite the rather long time that has passed since last update the cult model and judging by the photos of the external and internal appearance of the car, you should not expect any major changes from the new product.

Depending on the degree of restyling of the new body, the most noticeable changes have undergone the front end of the Nissan X-Trail 2018. The trapezoidal trim, which, with the help of bright chrome plating, stands out favorably against the background of the black radiator grille, has become even more massive. On the sides of the new U-shaped grille, there is an updated head optics. Its redesign consists of noticeably raised internal headlight arrows, which is compared to the lowered eyes of the previous version of the "face", added appearance crossover more severity.

The bumper has become more massive due to its improved relief, and the air intake grille is stricter due to large horizontal ribs, which replaced the indistinct fine-mesh structure. Fog lights have changed from a round shape to laconic rectangles. All the reincarnations of the front of the Nissan clearly hint at the fact that they decided to reshape the beautiful face into a stern face.

Differences are harder to find on the side. The geometry of the windows is the same, the roof rails are in place, and the doors themselves are unchanged. New design got wheel diskswhich are available in 17-19 inch versions.

At the back, as well as at the front, the car has become noticeably stricter. This is largely due to the sharper shape of the darkened headlights and the "heavier" bumper, which, like its front "colleague", has acquired a chrome-plated lower strip. How practical is bottom chrome in conditions russian roadsI think it's not worth talking about.

Salon

Nothing "serious" happened inside the car. It's all the same color scheme of black and beige with chrome accents.

The three-spoke steering wheel has been redesigned to be more prominent than the "flat" version of its predecessor. He got the ability to adjust the reach and height, as well as, judging by the saved abundance of buttons, retained its previous functionality.

The front row seats are electrically heated, and the driver's one is additionally equipped with electric controllers.

Thanks to technical features that led to the absence of a transmission tunnel, the rear row received more space and, as a result, comfort. Luggage compartment has a good volume of 497 liters, which easily turns into an impressive 900 liters when folded back row seats. By the way, with the help of an external sensor, the trunk can be opened in a semi-automatic mode.

The dashboard, like the entire front panel as a whole, remained unchanged. This could be a disadvantage only if there were any disadvantages at all. To compensate for the relatively sluggish restyling of the exterior, there should be a number of new body colors.
