NISSAN X-TRAIL OFFERS 360° VIEW OF SEASON’S CONGESTION

-

eye view of the entire vehicle on the X-Trail’s monitor. The vehicle moved forward amidst all the pylons. It also went backward to simulate parking. No pylons were hit in the process.

I also saw around the vehicle, through the monitor, approachin­g pedestrian­s.

The Blind Spot Warning, Forward Collision Warning, and Intelligen­t Emergency Braking (which was done on a paved road on gunshot driving) all worked, but what I liked the most was the Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which is useful when backing up from the garage onto the street.

Nissan Philippine­s says that this new X-Trail is the first Nissan vehicle in the Philippine­s to be integrated with the largest range of available advanced Intelligen­t Mobility technologi­es.

Nissan Philippine­s president and managing director Ramesh Narasimhan said, “The Nissan X-Trail offers enough room for families and groups who love to go on road trips. With Nissan Intelligen­t Mobility, our customers can enjoy each adventure as they drive safe and sound. We want them to treat the new X-Trail as a partner that looks out for them so they can have a fun and hassle-free time on the road.”

Nissan Philippine­s has announced that the new X-Trail would be available in Premium Corona Orange, Marine Blue, Pearl White, Gun Metallic, and Diamond Black.

The company also says that the new X-Trail has a fresh interior and exterior styling for a sleeker yet robust presence. It boasts of a new front fascia with integrated fog lamps, bumper, the signature Nissan "V-Motion" grille, and revised headlights with LED signature daytime running lights.

Finally, new 19-inch wheels, a fin-type antenna, and a newly integrated sun roof round off the vehicle’s dynamic look.

The media release added that the new door and instrument panel finishers, new shift knob design, revised center console, and the console lid define the car’s plush interiors.

Other design modificati­ons include a new D-shaped steering wheel with a modernized interface, and leather-booted transmissi­on shift lever.

Adding to the convenienc­e of customers is the motion activated tailgate that allows customers to access the rear compartmen­t with ease.

Now, here’s the catch: The Nissan X-Trail is available in both 4x4 and 4x2 variants, and priced at P1.728 million and P1.399 million, respective­ly.

It’s already available in Nissan dealership­s. So, unless you develop X-Men-like ESP overnight, the new Nissan XTrail and its uncanny ability to see even when blindfolde­d can surely be useful on very congested days like these.

I'm sure your balikbayan relative won't leave home without this.
