Chronology
Predecessor Nissan Rasheen
Successor Nissan Rogue (Canada)

The Nissan X-Trail is a compact or mid-size crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 2000. Due to its length gain in its third generation, it is now considered a mid-size crossover SUV. It was one of Nissan's first crossover SUVs and was released about the same time as several other companies competing car-based compact SUVs including the Suzuki Grand Vitara, Ford Escape and its Mazda Tribute sibling, the Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4.

The X-Trail is positioned below the truck-based Xterra and Pathfinder and was never offered by dealerships in the United States. The first generation was available in Canada until it was replaced by the Rogue. However, both the Rogue and the X-Trail are sold in Mexico. The Rogue shares the same platform as the second-generation X-Trail and is very similar to the Qashqai.

The X-Trail's All-Mode 4x4 transmission transfer case enables the driver to select between 2WD, 4WD or 4WD Lock through an electronic switch on the dashboard. The company currently offers a hydrogen fuel cell model named the X-Trail FCV on lease to businesses.

The main production plants of the X-Trail are in Kanda, Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan (2000–present); though parts and engines that are produced in Japan are also assembled by other Nissan plants in numerous countries.

Engines

Available only in the Japanese market is the SR20VET that produces 206 kW (280 ps) and is used in the X-Trail GT. The Australian model is powered by a QR25DE 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine initially producing 132 kW (177 hp). From January 2006, the Australian-spec engine was detuned to 123 kW (169 hp). Also available is the QR20DE 4-cylinder engine, producing 103 kW (140 hp) or 110 kW (150 hp) with manual or automatic transmission. The biggest selling engine in the United Kingdom is the YD22DDTi, a 2.2 litre turbocharged common rail diesel.

The X-Trail has had three model revisions, the Series 1 and Series 2 (using Nissan FF-S platform) and the Series 3 (using Nissan/Renault C platform). There were various cosmetic and engineering changes made between series 1 and 2 but the series 3 is all new despite a similar appearance with new engines apart from the 2.5L which has been retained.

Unveiled at the September 2000 Paris Motor Show, Nissan commenced sales of the T30 series X-Trail for Japan in November 2000, having entered production in October. This first-generation X-Trail uses the Nissan FF-S platform, shared with the Nissan Almera and the Nissan Primera. The X-Trail was sold in Canada for the 2005 and 2006 model years (but Nissan Canada continued to market the X-Trail until 2007), and in Mexico since 2003. The X-Trail has been sold in the Philippines since mid-2003, and received facelifts in early 2005 and May 2007.

In the United Kingdom the first-generation car was available in S, Sport and SE+ between launch and 2004. The trim levels were then revised to SE, Sport, SVE and T-Spec. In Australia it was available in standard ST, mid-spec ST-S, high-spec Ti and luxury-spec Ti-L, with limited editions ST-X, ST-R, ST-S 40th anniversary models. At this point all models in the UK were equipped with full electric windows, electricity adjustable door mirrors (on SVE and T-Spec they were electrically folding also), climate control, single CD player, 4 airbags and remote central locking.

While in Australia all models were equipped with full electric windows, electric mirrors (electric folding on Ti-L), single CD player, 2 airbags and remote central locking. ST-S adds ST on sunroof and 16" alloy wheels. Ti adds ST on climate control, 6 disk CD player, fog lamps and 16" alloy wheels, and Ti-L adds Ti on leather and electric seats, sunroof, and optional DVD player. Limited edition ST-R adds ST on light-emitting roof racks, with ST-S 40th anniversary adding fog lamps to original ST-S.

The trim levels were once again revised in 2006. Nissan is still selling the Nissan X-Trail T30 model in some countries, where it is called the Nissan X-Trail Classic. In 2007 the Yulon manufactured model version got a facelift. In Taiwan at least, the Nissan X-Trail T30 model has slightly larger and different shaped front headlights and different front grille.[1]

GT

In mid-2002 Nissan launched a special edition X-Trail equipped with the SR20VET petrol turbocharged engine which produces 280 hp (209 kW). This model, named the X-Trail GT, was offered only in Japan.[2]

Canada

In 2006, Nissan Canada launched a Nissan X-Trail Bonavista Edition commercial featuring a Nissan dealer speaking in an incomprehensible Newfoundland accent.[3] The commercial itself backfired when Bonavista Mayor Betty Fitzgerald claimed it had portrayed people in Bonavista as people who cannot speak properly. To further expose the commercial's lack of linguistic authenticity, CBC News reported the sales rep was played by an actor from Cape Breton.[4]

That commercial was parodied by a local car dealer in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador in a radio ad that takes shots at Ontario marketing companies and Premier Dalton McGuinty's "nondescript" personality.[5]

The 2008 Nissan X-Trail had its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007, and went on sale in Japan in August 2007, Europe in the third quarter of that year, and Australia and Mexico towards the end of the year.

Slightly larger than the previous model, it is based on the Nissan C platform. The second generation X-Trail was not sold in the United States and Canada where it was instead replaced by the Rogue.

The X-Trail GT SR20VET petrol turbocharged engine was not offered in the second generation X-Trail due to the 2005 Japan vehicle emissions control. In September 2008 the 20GT became available in Japan, equipped with the M9R, a 2.0 litre turbocharged common rail diesel engine developed jointly with Renault. This was the first diesel X-Trail offered in the Japanese domestic market.

In November 2008, models went on sale in China from Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company (DFL-PV)

The first facelift second generation X-Trail was released in Japan in July 2010.

A limited edition Nissan X-Trail Platinum was released in for the UK market 2012. This model was equipped with special features not seen on any other X-Trail.[6] Only 200 will be produced for the UK market.[7]

The second generation was replaced in October 2013 when the third generation X-Trail was unveiled in Japan. Only petrol engine variants were initially offered for Japan - diesel engine second generation continued to be available for the Japanese domestic market.
