Given its low monthly sales volume, Nissan has been struggling to expand its footprint in the Indian market for some time now. The brand's narrow portfolio, with the Magnite SUV being the lone model in the India lineup, is a major contributing factor to this. Nevertheless, the Japanese carmaker is determined to grow its market share, which currently stands at less than 1 percent. In a recent development, Nissan India shared a teaser clip and image of its upcoming SUV, the X-Trail, anticipated to arrive later this year. Since it was previously on sale in India from 2005 to 2014, the X-Trail is not a completely new product. Read on to learn more about the X-Trail's features, specs, and design.

In terms of appearance, the car features a large grille with Nissan's newest V-motion design and split headlights with LED lighting. Depending on the version, the SUV's alloy wheels measure either 18 or 19 inches. Although most contemporary SUVs come equipped with a light bar, this one does not. Instead, it sports LED tail lights.
As far as the dimensions are concerned, the X-Trail measures 4,680mm in length, 1,840mm in width, and 1,725mm in height. The wheelbase stands at 2,705mm.

The new X-Trail, offered in five- and seven-seat versions worldwide, is based on the CMF-C platform's modular architecture concept and was co-developed with alliance partner Renault. The India-bound model could also offer both seating configurations.
Under the hood, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol mild hybrid unit, churning out 305Nm of peak torque and 201bhp of maximum power, will drive the X-Trail. A CVT automatic transmission will be included as standard. This engine is expected to be offered in both front and all-wheel drive (AWD) versions.
