The interior is fully equipped with the latest equipment
The interior isThe interior space was designed to give a sense of security while riding with a luxurious design that gives a sense of casualness.Meter from “Display Audio”“12.3 inch large full LCD digital meter”The visibility was very good.“12.3 inch large full LCD digital meter”Is a point that makes you feel fresh rather than luxurious.
Navigation system“Nissan Connect Infotainment System”I hope that this will evolve from the current situation.
The center console and shift lever have adopted the design that is often used in Nissan cars, which is wonderful.The position of the electric parking brake & hold button is very easy to press, and I felt that the charging position was set in a very convenient place just by placing it in the drink folder.
The rear seats in the second row have a large air conditioner independent temperature control function.
The rear seats are very spacious, comfortable and comfortable. It is wonderful that the grade G is equipped with an “air conditioner independent temperature control function” as standard and can control the temperature of the rear seats. In addition, the second row of seats can be moved back and forth. “Roll sunshade” is adopted for grade G, and it is possible to avoid sunlight. (It is not adopted in the Harrier even in higher grades and options.)
The third row is a bonus
I was able to ride the X-Trail with three rows, but it is a size that I can ride like the previous model, but it feels very difficult for adults to ride.

Equipped with 2nd generation e-POWER + VC turbo engine
Equipped with the 2nd generation “e-POWER” that has evolved strength, smoothness, and quietness by renewing the motor and inverter. The engine that generates power adopts the variable compression ratio engine “VC turbo engine” that allows Nissan to freely change the compression ratio from 8 to 14, which Nissan succeeded in mass production for the first time in the world, and the VC turbo tuned for e-POWER. By adopting an engine, the output is greatly improved, and by suppressing the engine speed, it also contributes to fuel efficiency.
