New Face-lifted Nissan X-Trail 2018
It's here at last! This is the face-lifted version of the X-Trail that you guys are familiar with. A face-lift means exterior as well as interior improvements with some feature additions. It's not as major a change as a totally new generation, but it's a welcome refresh!
Some Features and Improvements
The famous mid-sized SUV looks sportier now, and boasts a new tan leather interior color, our new favorite. A very interesting feature was added, a smart rearview mirror: you just flip the rear view mirror and it turns into a rear camera screen. And unlike what we're used to, this one is not specifically dedicated for parking.

How does Nissan still compete in the face of other competitors who focus on offering more specs at a similar or lower price?
That was our question to Nissan Middle-East representatives during the launch event. A question we feel most of you can relate to when picking your new SUV. The answer we got showed how Nissan differentiated this model, including:
Superior quality at a very competitive price (specifically the 2WD version costing $30,900)
Good resale value, affordable servicing and ownership costs
More and more specs are being offered on entry level vehicles
Driver Opinion
Here's what our friendMarguerita Thalia, who provided us with these awesome shots, had to say about the car:
"After testing the All-New Nissan X-Trail all I have to say that it has a lot to offer to the large SUV Class. I really liked the stylish interior with its high-quality feel and specially Nissan's intelligent rear view mirror that was quite helpful during our ride. In addition X-Trail can get a bit competitive since it's offering a smooth ride with a strong grip and all the safety measures needed."
