X-Trail Gets 10 New Features For Special Show

Published: Friday, November 4, 2011, 13:34 [IST]

Nissan has added to the festive flavour by launching a new special edition X-Trail SUV. The X-trail is the Japanese carmaker's only SUV sold in India. It is being imported as a completely built unit and hence is more expensive than its Indian built competitors. However Nissan appears to sweeten the deal for X-trail buyers by adding ten new features.

The new X-Trail also marks Nissan's participation in a new adventure reality TV show in National Geographic channel. The TV Show called as the X-treme Trail focuses on the driving prowess of eight drivers who compete against each other. The program will see these people driving X-trails across some of the most difficult terrains available in India.

The drivers will have to tackle the sand dunes of the Thar desert in Rajasthan and also handle the slippery slopes of the Himalayas. The program is a tough test of character as well as skill. This will also highlight the all terrain capabilities of the Nissan X-Trail to its fullest levels.

The drivers competing in this adventure will have to go through several off-road activities that will be telecast across eight episodes. The drivers will get to drive this special edition X-Trail that comes with new features that are listed below.

Touch-screen navigation system
Rear spoiler
'X-treme Trail" decal
'X-Treme Trail" door visor set
Rear scuff plate
Cargo drawer
Kicking plate with LED
Side moulding
Floor mats
Rear bumper protector

The rest of the technical specification of the X-trail remain the same. It is powered by the same two-litre M9R common rail turbo diesel engine capable of churning out 150bhp and 320Nm of torque. Buyers can opt for a six speed manual gear box or an automatic version with six cogs. The special edition X-trail is priced at Rs.22.78 lakhs (ex showroom Delhi).
