World's best selling SUV
gets even better
The Nissan X-Trail is the world’s best-selling SUV and now
available with a range of upgrades which further enhance
its quality and refinement.
he changes
include a
distinctive and
robust redesign of
the exterior, a
higher-quality
interior with desirable new
features, additional practicality for
owners and innovative new
technologies to make life on the
road even safer.
For drivers seeking new levels
of flexibility and greater freedom
when they want it, the new Nissan
X-Trail will be available with
ProPILOT autonomous drive
technology.
The enhancements to X-Trail are
based on consumer insight and
customer feedback, and are
designed to reinforce the X-Trail’s
position as the perfect car for
family adventures.
Philippe Saillard, Senior Vice
T
President, Sales & Marketing,
Nissan Europe, commented:
“Demand for crossovers is
growing all the time, and for the
Nissan X-Trail to be the number
one for global sales is a huge
honour. With these enhancements,
the new X-Trail is delivering more
of what our customers want. The
Nissan X-Trail is the perfect car for
family adventures.”
Unveiled in dramatic style
earlier this month at a special
event in Cardiff, Wales – hours
ahead of the UEFA Champions
League Final – the new Nissan X-
Trail will be on sale across Europe
from August 2017.
The X-Trail is number one for
Nissan. A highly capable five or
seven-seat crossover aimed at
adventure-loving families, it’s the
brand’s best-selling vehicle
worldwide.

Including the USA, where the
car is badged Rogue, more than
3.7 million have been sold since
the first Nissan X-Trail was
launched in 2000. That includes
almost half a million cars in
Europe, where the X-Trail remains
hugely popular. Approximately
115,000 units have been sold in
Europe since the all-new third-
generation model was launched in
2014, and demand has grown
significantly year on year; sales
doubled from 2014 to 2015, and
the total rose again by another
40% the following year.
It is also a record-breaker.
Including Rogue sales, in FY16 the
X-Trail was the world’s most
popular SUV, with 766,000 vehicles
sold – more than any other rival
model.
The X-Trail has continued to
evolve; earlier this year, Nissan
launched the car with a new 2.0-
litre 177PS diesel engine,
broadening the range to meet the
needs of consumers who require a
higher-output powertrain.
Not surprisingly, the Nissan X-
Trail is a hit with its owners. The
car has an outstanding 8.9 out of
10 customer rating with
independent ratings organisation
Reevoo.
As with all Nissan vehicles,
every upgrade – no matter how
large or small – has been
undertaken with the customer in
mind. The result is the new X-Trail,
featuring a distinctive and robust
exterior design, higher-quality
interior refinement, extra
practicality for owners and
innovative new technologies.
