Nissan’s iconic electrified family SUV takes a further step into the wild with the introduction of the new N-Trek variant, aimed at daring and adventurous families with a love of the great outdoors.
Slotting into the X-Trail range between the N-Connecta and Tekna grades, N-Trek adds design elements that enhance the model’s sense of no-nonsense robustness.
There are new protective lower bumpers front and rear, with a gunmetal finish and integrated LED foglamps, while new 18-inch diamond-cut gloss black alloy wheels combine with gloss black wing mirrors and dark roof rails and trim to give the N-Trek a stealthy, purposeful stance.
Inside, new water-resistant, wipe-clean upholstery reflects the adventurous spirit of N-Trek buyers, who are more likely to return to their car after sporty activities outdoors in all weathers – so whether they’re trail running, mountain biking or just splashing in muddy puddles with the kids, customers can jump into their N-Trek with less concern for the upholstery.
To complement the added robustness of the X-Trail’s five- or seven-seat interior, the N-Trek comes with rubber floor mats and a reversible boot-liner.
Range of accessories
Naturally, the X-Trail’s existing wide range of accessories is also compatible, including towbars, roof bars, bike racks, and a cargo area organiser. Paint options for the X-Trail N-Trek consist of Gun Metallic or Champagne Silver in metallic, while Pearl White, Diamond Black and Ceramic Grey are available in pearlescent. Pearl White, Champagne Silver and Ceramic Grey are also available in two-tone configurations, each with a black roof to match the mirrors.
The addition of the N-Trek to the X-Trail line-up brings a new dimension of appeal to Nissan’s iconic family SUV. The model is exclusively available with Nissan’s pioneering e-POWER or e-4ORCE powertrains, which use an efficient turbocharged three-cylinder, 1.5-litre engine with variable compression ratio technology to generate electricity and charge the car’s battery.
On the e-POWER two-wheel-drive variant, the battery powers a single motor connected to the front wheels, while the advanced e-4ORCE all-wheel drive powertrain employs a motor at each axle. The e-4ORCE system can adjust power application 10,000 times per second according to the available grip, maximising traction on slippery surfaces.
The X-Trail’s e-POWER and e-4ORCE powertrains deliver the smooth, seamless drive reminiscent of a pure electric vehicle, combined with the confidence to tackle challenging conditions on or off-road, all without the need to recharge. And now, with the N-Trek’s purposeful and practical updates, the X-Trail is even better suited to adventurous families, encouraging them to go further, “get dirty”, and have even more fun outdoors, no matter the conditions.
Explaining the X-Trail N-Trek, Arnaud Charpentier, Region Vice President Marketing & Mobility AMIEO (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania), said: “We started the development of the X-Trail N-Trek with the simple motto: Let’s Get Dirty.
Striking look
“It captures the spirit of a core group of X-Trail customers who embrace adventure, the outdoors and want to use their vehicle to enjoy time and adventures together.
“The X-Trail N-Trek has been designed for them. It has a striking look thanks to unique N-Trek design details, as well as its new water-resistant interior and appealing two-tone paint options. They all combine to make a compelling formula. And with Nissan’s pioneering electrified powertrain which combines e-POWER and e-4ORCE – electrified adventures await.”
