The facelifted Nissan X-Trail has just launched in South Africa. Here’s a look at what’s changed, plus what’s on offer in terms of specifications.
The updated Nissan X-Trail has hit South African showrooms and the Japanese brand is claiming that it is its “most advanced, most refined and most luxurious Nissan X-Trail range to date”.
The Nissan X-Trail has some legacy, with around 50 000 units sold in South Africa over a few generations. Globally, more than 8 million have been shipped.
The facelifted model gains a visual update in the form of a new-look front bumper and grille. There are new alloy wheel designs ranging from 17 inches to 19-inch items on the flagship derivative. The headlights and taillamps have both received a subtle update.
