2022 NISSAN X-Trail 1.5L VC-T MHEV Xtronic (163 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Nissan introduced the fourth generation of its crossover X-Trail at the 2021 Auto Shanghai in China, and it was more of a revolution in the car’s history.

Based on the CMF-C platform shared with Nissan Qashqai and the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, the X-Trail, also known as the Rogue on the U.S. market, offered big changes on the exterior, interior, and drivetrain. Moreover, it had completely abandoned the turbo-diesel engines from its offer.

The front fascia of the 2022 X-Trail featured the same design-signature V-shape chromed trim included on the radiator’s grille. On the sides, it was flanked by new LED headlamps, with an upper lamp for the parking lights and blinkers, while the lower ones served as headlights. The bumper sported a pair of side scoops that channeled the air on the car’s sides, while on the lower area, it featured a broad grille. From its profile, the X-Trail was surprised with its D-pillar’s shape and the raked-forward rear windscreen.

Inside, Nissan tried to create a premium atmosphere for its customers. Gone was the analog instrument panel, replaced by a TFT, while atop the center stack, it placed a 12.3″ infotainment display. In addition, the carmaker offered the 2022 X-Trail with up to seven seats inside, with an option for two jump-seats in the trunk area.

Under the hood, Nissan offered just a choice of two drivetrains, both hybrid. The carmaker produced the fourth generation of the X-Trail, either with a front or an all-wheel drive system.
