LAUNCHED by Nissan Clover Leaf Motors last week, the Nissan X-TRAIL delivers with best in class front head room and the supreme comfort of fatigue reducing spinal support front seats. With tasteful touches like the power tilt and slide sunroof, double stitched leather-appointed seats and LED interior lighting, this is one natural, relaxed, and decidedly upscale environmen­t.

The Nissan X-TRAIL is engineered with a range of innovative technology including chassis control and ALL-MODE 4x4-i that enables it to have an intuitive response to every driving situation for a smoother and more controlled ride.

The vehicle is designed to keep you safe, giving you the confidence to stay calm and collected on every drive.

The ALL-MODE 4x4-i system makes the Nissan X-TRAIL capable on-road and off. For maximum fuel efficiency choose 2WD.

In Auto Mode, conditions are constantly monitored and the balance of power between front and rear wheels is adjusted for best traction.

Whether you’re slowing for a corner or coming to a stop, this system uses the XTRONIc cVT transmissi­on to apply engine braking much like shifting to a lower gear in traditiona­l transmissi­ons to help give smoother decelerati­on and a more confident feel when braking.

A turn for the better, this innovative technology helps improve control when you take a corner. It reads the cornering situation and, if needed, can brake each wheel individual­ly to help you steer through the turn with confidence.

Fear no bump. With Active Ride control, the Nissan X-TRAIL can automatica­lly apply braking and adjust engine torque after you hit a bump to smooth out your ride.

At Nissan safety is more than just a philosophy, it is an integral part of every vehicle the manufactur­er make.

“Our comprehens­ive approach to safety guides the engineerin­g and developmen­t of all our cars — and it not only works to keep you and your family safe, it gives the driver the self-assurance to know that they can rely on their vehicle, and confidentl­y handle unexpected situations. Keeping an eye out,” said Nissan.

Smart technologi­es on the car help monitor your vehicle’s systems and surroundin­gs.

Like a warning when you’re straying from your lane, or a system that helps ensure you know when another vehicle is detected in your blind spot area, an indicator appears on the driver or front passenger door mirror and on the Advanced DriveWhen you’re indicating to change lanes and a vehicle is dangerousl­y close, the light will flash and a warning chime will alert you.

If the X-TRAIL detects that you’re straying from your lane, the Lane Departure Warning system will give both a visual and audible alert.

The system is so smart, it’s designed to stop the warnings whenever your turn signal is engaged.

When the Around View Monitor is in use and detects something moving by the vehicle, it gives a visual and audible alert.
