Nissan X Trail T 32. Galvanized body Nissan X Trail T32

Look in the eyes!

Still, it's good when the fruits of restyling are immediately noticeable, otherwise the designers sometimes overreact so that you don't understand right off the bat whether the new version of the car is in front of you or the pre-reform one. With the X-Trail, everything is immediately clear: the facelift program, although standard, but the designers did not become modest, drawing the crossover's face with corners. And if the car flaunts a bright orange color, then it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake: before such a color in the palette there was no "cunning" at all.

The headlights, by the way, have changed not only in shape, but also in content: in expensive versions, they are adaptive and can highlight turns, deflecting the light beam at an angle of up to 15 degrees. It is also worth noting the radiator grill - more precisely, the emblem, which is held on a glass substrate: behind it is the collision avoidance radar. In general, there are more electronics in Nissan: in addition to the aforementioned safety complex with an autobraking function, the X-Trail received an obstacle detection system when driving reverse... Sensing something is wrong, the car will give an alarm signal, but it will not stop itself, although some competitors already offer such a service.

The tailgate was powered before, but now it is possible to open it with a "pendel" by swiping your foot under the rear bumper. It does not matter whether the central lock is open or closed - the main thing is that the key is in your pocket. You can also close the trunk with your feet.

A lot of good

At first glance, the interior has not changed much - except perhaps for the steering wheel, which is now with a "jammed" rim underneath. Leather trim is rough, but for Japanese car this is in the order of things. And so - the steering wheel is like a steering wheel. Yes! Heated as of the SE +, which is really good news. And here's another reason for joy: the heated rear sofa. However, this message has a slight bitterness: firstly, there is no division into right and left seats - after turning on the heating, the entire sofa heats up. Well, like the rest - a pillow and a back to the waist. However, this is quite enough. But here's what confuses (and this is secondly): the heating key is located on the tunnel between the front seats, and you can't really turn it on from the back sofa. Nissan engineers are well aware that this is strange and inconvenient, but at this stage they cannot do anything: otherwise, a significant part of the wiring will have to be redrawn, and this is troublesome and also costly.

By the way, so that the electrician resignedly pulled all these "heating pads", instead of the 150A generator, they installed a more powerful one - 180A. This, in particular, made it possible to increase the heating operation time. windshield.

Show what's hidden

You won't be able to see individual improvements, but you can feel them by taking a ride in the car. The engineers have worked very thoroughly for the sake of greater silence in the cabin: the sound insulation of the engine shield, front fenders and sills has been strengthened; added noise-absorbing materials under the dashboard and in the trunk floor area; additional inserts appeared in the thresholds, and vibration dampers on the floor panels. Finally, plastic shields were installed under the bottom and all configurations, without exception, were equipped with an acoustic windshield - before it was installed only on diesel versions.

In parallel with the upgrade of the "Shumka" in Nissan, the driving characteristics of the crossover were also furiously modified - this turned into a significant alteration of the chassis. The steering has undergone a serious revision: a stiffer steering shaft, other electric power-assisted calibrations - these measures were supposed to increase the steering information content and make the zero clearer (teaser: it turned out). And the stabilizers were also replaced. lateral stability, which have become thicker by a millimeter each: in front there is now a "bar" with a diameter of 24 mm, and at the back - 17 mm. Finally, cars in expensive trim levels (SE Top, LE, LE Top) are equipped with summer tires Pirelli Scorpion Verde instead of the all-season Yokohama Geolandar G91. I almost forgot: the top version of the LE Top now has 19-inch wheels - before the "cunning" had a maximum of "eight". The design of the discs, of course, has also been updated.

The power units remained the same: these are petrol “fours” 2.0 and 2.5 with a capacity of 144 and 171 liters. With. respectively, as well as a 1.6-liter diesel engine (130 hp). The diesel engine is combined only with mechanics and all-wheel drive; 2-liter petrol can be front-wheel drive (both "on fur" and with a variator) or 4WD (only with CVT); and the most powerful 2.5 implies four-wheel drive and a CVT by default.

Both petrol engines, in combination with the continuously variable transmission, were recalibrated, and in the case of the 2-liter engine, the variator also received a new torque converter - all this was started for the sake of a more linear response to the accelerator.

Another ride

There is definitely an effect of all the measures taken, especially when it comes to comfort, which has moved to a new level. The cabin is now noticeably quieter in all driving modes, and the ride has become softer: the crossover is more rounded on irregularities, or something. True, at first, on a very decent-looking asphalt, I managed to feel a certain high-frequency tremor of the body, as if the car had all the wheels pumped, but later I either stopped paying attention to this, or it was all about the peculiarities of the road surface. But on a bad road or even on a lane covered with stones, the X-Trail runs easily and painlessly, demonstrating a decent ride, coupled with the proper energy consumption. On the Crimean serpentines, the rolls do not particularly draw attention to themselves - which means that replacing the stabilizers with new ones (they are 18% stiffer) also went to the crossover's benefit.

But I did not feel any special profit from other variator settings. In theory, he should more convincingly simulate the operation of the machine, as if switching between virtual stages, but it really looks like nothing more than an imitation: the variator essence still crawls out of all the cracks. This, however, is not too annoying - the sound insulation has improved! And there are no special problems with the linearity of responses: in general, thrust control does not raise questions.

With the update of its bestseller (and the X-Trail is sold in Russia even better than Kashkai), Nissan delayed a little: the American counterpart of the "cheat" called Rogue announced a facelift more than two years ago. However, the engineers did not waste time and were able to turn a banal restyling into a thorough modernization, making the crossover better in many respects. Against the background of the scale of the changes, the grown price looks moderate: 35 thousand rubles at the present time is quite a modest increase.

Price: from 1 601 000 rubles.

In 2018, the second restyling of the third generation entered the Russian market Nissan x-trail T32. The car entered the Chinese and American markets earlier than us, possibly due to legal nuances - the installation of ERA-GLONASS and so on. Visually, the new product began to look more like, well, let's move on to a more detailed review.

Design

Externally, the crossover has not been weakly updated. Looking at the face, a new radiator grill with a V-shaped chrome insert is visible. The grille is equipped with active flaps that open at elevated engine temperatures and close otherwise to improve aerodynamics.

The corrected optics is visible, it directs the beam of light depending on the rotation of the wheels. V basic trim levels the filling is halogen, in the top ones it is LED. A glossy insert to the bumper departs from the headlights at the bottom. The bumper itself has become more aggressive due to the increase in abrupt transitions, its detailing is really cool. At the bottom, on a black insert, there are rectangular fog lamps, and at the very bottom, on a plastic protection, a chrome insert in the center.

From the side, everything is about the same. The shapes are mostly smooth, but not without sharpness. The inflated wheel arches are massively chamfered and thin black plastic protection. At the bottom, the sills are complemented by a chrome line. Chrome is embedded on the door handles, roof rails and window frame edging. Sharp lines are present in the back, but they are minimal.

Nissan X-Trail alloy wheels size:

• 225/65 / R17;
• 225/60 / R18;
• 225/55 / ​​R19.

The feed of the crossover has received modified lights with LED filling. The upper section of the boot lid is complemented by an anti-wing for aerodynamics. The lid itself is slightly curved, the central part is decorated with a chrome line, and at the very bottom there is a handle for opening the fifth door. The less massive bumper is well detailed, especially the plastic protection with chrome line and integrated reflectors.

Body dimensions:

• length - 4690 mm;
• width - 1820 mm;
• height - 1700 mm;
• wheelbase - 2705 mm;
• ground clearance - 210 mm.

Body colors:

• White;
• white mother-of-pearl;
• black;
• grey;
• silver;
• blue;
• olive;
• Orange.

Salon

All owners note pleasant skin and high-quality assembly inside the car. Well, there will be no leather in the base, and the fabric is not so pleasant. The architecture of the salon has practically not changed, only some little things.

The front seats are heated and look slightly sporty due to a little lateral support. The back sofa is just as comfortable with a folding armrest. There is also a third row of seats for two passengers. Cup holders are inserted there, but there is no need to talk about free space at all - its minimum is at the back, in line with the rest of the rows.

Sheathing colors:

• black perforated leather;
• beige perforated leather;
• black cloth.

The driver of the 2018-2019 Nissan X-Trail gets a 3-spoke D-shaped steering wheel with chrome lines and buttons. The steering wheel is adjustable for reach and height. The instrument panel is equipped with two recessed wells, in which the speedometer and tachometer are integrated. In the center is a 5-inch information display of the on-board computer with 12 information modes.

The center console is made of high-gloss plastic. In the center there is a 7-inch touchscreen multimedia display with Yandex Auto, which supports all the functions available to a regular smartphone, that is, at least you will have a navigator. Buttons and washers are inserted around for quick setting of the most important functions. Below is a climate control unit with 9 buttons, two washers and one monitor to show the selected settings.

The tunnel first received an electronic parking brake button - not the most convenient location, usually it is placed after the gearshift lever. Here behind the lever below the cupholders are inserted and at the end of it all we see the setting washer all-wheel drive and heated seats.

A panoramic sunroof is an optional pleasure.

The trunk is accessed by electric drive, and the floor of the compartment is lined with pile. Trunk volume is 565 liters, but this is with the third row folded down the Nissan X-Trail T32. Folding all the rear seats, you get 1996 liters of volume.

Technical characteristics of motors

The range of engines has not changed in any way, everything is also offered two petrol and one diesel internal combustion engines.

1. First 4-cylinder engine MR20DD 2 liters produces 144 horsepower and 200 H * m of torque. Consumption is higher than 11 liters in the city, on the highway - 6.6 liters. With dynamics, everything is bad - 11 seconds to hundreds and 183 km / h of maximum speed.
2. Second engine QR25DE due to the 2.5-liter volume, it produces 171 horsepower and 233 units of torque. Fuel consumption does not change, and dynamics improves by half a second with an increase in top speed to 190 km / h.
3. Diesel turbo engine Y9M with a 1.6-liter volume gives 130 Horse power at 4000 rpm and 320 H * m of torque from idle. Diesel is the most economical - 6 liters in the city and 4.8 liters on the highway. The dynamics do not change in any way.

The pair is a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT variator. The moment is transmitted in the younger version to the front wheels, and the older ones receive the ALL Mode 4x4i all-wheel drive system, which transfers power to the rear wheels when slipping through an automatic clutch.

Crossover chassis

The restyled car is built on an upgraded Common Modular Family platform with front wheels and semi-independent rear suspension. The driving experience is at the same level.

The electric power steering Nissan X-Trail 2019-2020 changes its gear ratios depending on the driving style. The steering wheel has become heavier, in fact, this is a setting for Russian drivers, they love this, because I think that the car has grabbed onto the road.

Disc brakes in a circle with ABS and front ventilation. The suspension is not intended for off-road use, although it has some systems. All the same, it is a city car, but it can pass on easy off-road.

Not really about the suspension, but you need to tell. The car is equipped with a package of security systems Intelligent Mobility: parking assistance system, which analyzes the situation around through cameras; cameras analyze the situation when driving in reverse, and also control the distance from the front, independently applying the brake when necessary.

Price and configuration

There are a huge number of complete sets, which can be seen in the table. The starting price tag of the car has practically not changed, for the XE configuration you need to pay 1,601,000 rubles, having received the following equipment:

• 2-liter engine on mechanics;
• Cruise control;
• heated front seats;
• emergency braking assistance;
• ESP stabilization system;
• control of the trajectory of movement;
• LED daytime running lights;
• mechanical seat adjustment;
• audio system for 4 speakers.

The most expensive configuration with a 2.5-liter engine costs 2,191,000 rubles, with the addition of:

• heated rear seats;
• lane control;
• control of blind spots;
• automatic parking system;
• all-round view;
• rear view camera;

• audio system for 6 speakers;
• 19-inch wheels;
• leather interior;
• a hatch with a panoramic view;
• electrically adjustable seats;
• LED headlights;

• navigation system.

Well, the restyled Nissan X-Trail T32 hasn't changed much, it just caught up with modern competitors. You should not change to it from, but if you have past generations, then you can, you will not regret it for sure.

Video

The previous version of the truly popular Nissan X-Trail looked like an SUV, but in fact it was a crossover. The new generation, T32, has the same body look and continues to mislead: although the car has been updated, it is built on the same units, albeit updated.

In the Russian Federation, the previous version fell in love with many car owners and was in great demand. Its comfortable suspension and huge trunk make it a great choice for long distance travel. But this barrel of honey also has a fly in the ointment: its off-road capabilities were very limited, and handling on asphalt was far from ideal. Over time, Nissan X-Trail began to lose its leading position, more successful competitors began to bypass it. An overview of this vehicle has been prepared especially for you.

The main features that the new Nissan X Trail possesses are frowning headlights, a sloping "forehead" and sunken sides. Compared to its predecessor, the updated Nissan X-Trail has become much larger, although, at first glance, you cannot tell. This is especially felt inside the car: its front panel has become much larger, the central air ducts have formed in a chrome frame, a glossy black multimedia console has appeared, the steering wheel has acquired a corporate shape, and soft linings have appeared on the central tunnel. The fit and quality of the materials used has improved significantly. Separately, in the review, you need to highlight the driver's seat: it has become so soft, it seems that you are sitting in the air.

Internal options

The updated version of X Trail has dual-zone climate control and heated windshield. Significantly, no heating is provided in the rear passenger seats. This is probably the only thing that can specifically upset passengers in the second row. Of the advantages of the second row, it should be noted that it is placed above the first, and the passengers seem to look down on
the surrounding world, the view from there is incredibly wide. There is enough room for grazing, there is enough space to put your feet. If there is a need to adjust the blower, then you need to try hard to reach it. The center section with options has become a completely comfortable armrest with many compartments. The new version of Nissan can accommodate up to 7 people at a time. However, it should be noted that there will be no official sales of 7-seater versions of this car in Russia: very low demand.

Trunk

5, the door of this car is equipped with an electric drive, it can be opened even without exerting force. To do this, just hold your hand near the sensor located above the license plate. The trunk of the updated Nissan X-Trail has become a little larger: it used to be 479 liters, and now it was 497. However, the Nissan X-Trail of the previous generation had two drawers, it was possible to fold the rear seats. Of course, if the backrests are folded down, the trunk of the previous version is out of competition. The new version has reduced underground, but it became possible to insert it into special holes. In this way, you can organize special shelves: horizontal and vertical. The latter, in turn, divides the luggage compartment in half. This is a fairly convenient feature, as it helps to neatly arrange things in compartments. Also, such shelves prevent obstruction of the view when reversing.

Controllability and dynamics

We managed to test it on the lands of an amazing region, the Republic of Karelia. It is impossible to describe its roads: gambling turns, sharp descents and ascents. Cracked asphalt, compacted snow and ice lumps give us the opportunity to test the car's handling, suspension and drive. The new Nissan X Trail is not just an updated crossover, it is, as many auto critics say, Qashqai off-road... It is more spacious and safer.

On a snowy road, the X Trail runs best in economy mode. In it, the gas pedal is damped, which makes the reactions to pressing more careful, smooth. The car is also equipped with an Eco mode, but it is not so easy to find it: it is hidden near the headlight washer and the stabilization button.

Nissan engineers said they were trying to combine Chinese softness and European handling in the Russian version of this crossover. On tarmac surfaces, the SUV is more enjoyable to drive than on its predecessor. However, for bumpy terrain and country roads, the suspension of the Nissan X Trail is a bit unsuitable - it's harsh. On a road with large holes, the suspension responds very loudly to rebound, on small stones it vibrates.

If we take a test car, then literally a few hours later from the strongest shaking, the plafond began to "walk", it was not possible to eliminate this annoying problem manually. This can be explained by the fact that the production of the X-Trail at the plant in the northern capital of our country began quite recently. The other test machine did not show such problems. The car runs much better on studded tires, on which the rumble from the road is not audible so clearly. The manufacturer plans to additionally integrate seals between the sill and the edge of the door so that the latter does not get dirty and increase the rear view.

The transmission of the new X-Trail

The new version of this car is built on the platform of its older brother, but received new power units and an upgraded transmission. Also, the new Nissan X-Trail received a 210 mm ground clearance (ground clearance). However, such changes led to some deplorable acquisitions: due to the increased wheelbase and straight front overhang, the geometry of the car has deteriorated significantly.

On the track, this crossover keeps a stiff upper lip, but sometimes it catches large irregularities with a bumper.

The advantage of the Nissan X-Trail over Qashqai is the so-called "downhill assist".

It is he who makes it possible to pass the icy slopes and snow bumps safely and without changing the trajectory. The manufacturer recommends passing large and dangerous obstacles in the "Lock" mode. Its function is to block the differential between the wheels: in this way, half of the thrust is transferred to the rear axle.

Passing obstacles without the included modes is difficult, this is prevented by a fairly stiff suspension. As soon as the car catches a diagonal hanging, it starts to brake, and if you press on the gas, it starts to interlock the drive and driven discs. The rear camera is equipped with washers that automatically rid it of dirt, the "all-round" function provides the most precise maneuvering.

Vehicle power

If we compare the Nissan X-Trail with its closest competitor, namely Qashqai, there is a faster response to the response of the accelerator and variator buttons. Acceleration is not so extended, although the car is a little heavier, it accelerates to 100 km / h 1.5 seconds faster. You also need to say about the required steering effort - it has become more verified. The new version of the Nissan X-Trail with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine has become much more powerful - 171 horsepower against 144.

The operation of the variator gearbox has become more stable and faster, the car has become more responsive to pressing the gas pedal. The updated suspension has become softer, the configuration of the car has also become denser. In general, the new X Trail has become solid. The difference between the chassis of the new and the old Nissan is small, as is the engine consumption: now, for 100 km / h, the 2.5-liter engine has enough 11 liters of 92nd gasoline. Refueling with such fuel became possible only due to the engine with distributed injection.

In the previous version of the X Trail, the diesel version was equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the gasoline versions were equipped with a variator. The new version of the crossover with a diesel engine now only comes with a six-speed manual. Models with a variator equipped with a reinforced plate are also produced, but they do not plan to officially sell such versions in Russia.

The volume of the updated diesel engine is very modest by the standards of a crossover, 1.6 liters with a capacity of 150 horsepower. The maximum torque has not changed: it remained as it was 320 Newton meters. It should be noted that the new X Trail has become a little faster and more ergonomic, reduced, and the view from the windshield has increased.

The engineers managed to supplement the Nissan and recreate the new version of the X Trail almost from scratch. The updated car began to look more modern and more comfortable. However, it should be noted that he lost his individuality. In defense, we can only say that it fully meets all the requirements of urban residents for crossovers. First of all, X Trail will be loved by those for whom constant trips to the country or nature are the norm.

Nissan X Trail T32 review: interior, exterior, engine

This article provides fairly detailed information about the latest generation Nissan X-Trail. Russian assembly in the back of T32 - information about the engine and transmission, trim levels. Also given are technical characteristics, a small review is made, and the advantages and disadvantages of the model are discussed.

Produced generations

The famous Japanese crossover Nissan X-Trail has gained considerable popularity in Russia; it is characterized by high reliability, excellent technical characteristics, and exquisite design.

During the production of the brand, three generations have changed, the very first cars were first produced at home, in Japan.

The history of Ixtrail begins in September 2000, when the car was shown at the Paris Motor Show.

The 1st generation Nissan X Trail in the T30 body is based on the Nissan FF-S platform, from the very beginning of production the model is produced in 4x4 versions and with front-wheel drive.

The second generation Ixtrail T31 was first introduced in Geneva in 2007 and is based on the Nissan C platform.

The third version of the crossover appeared in the fall of 2013, and in December of the same year, the car began to be sold in Japan.

The new car in the T32 body was created on the basis of the Nissan CMF; the assembly of this model is carried out in many countries of the world, including the Russian Federation.

Nissan X-Trail T32 assembled in Russia

The "Japanese" is produced at the Nissan plant, built in St. Petersburg, the first Ixtrail in Russia rolled off the assembly line in November 2009, and the plant workers began production of the third generation in December 2014.

A car in the back of T32 for Russians is offered:

• in seven trim levels;
• in versions with full and front wheel drive;
• with two petrol and one diesel engines;
• with mechanical 6-speed Gearbox and variator (CVT).

Nissan Qashqai and Ikstrail in the latest versions are often compared with each other, since the models are in many ways similar, they can even be confused from afar.

But in previous generations, cars were completely different in design, and they had few common parts.

The new Nissan X Trail 3 is larger than Kashkai, it is longer, taller and wider, and has a 76 mm longer wheelbase.

But the crossover is good not only for its large size, it is also presented in a fairly rich equipment, and on its "board" even in the base there are many different options.

Engines and transmission

In the line of power units of the crossover, there are two gasoline internal combustion engines:

• QR25DE, 2.5L, 171L With.;
• MR20DD, 2.0L 144HP With.

Both engines are 4-cylinder, 16-valve, injection. When driving around the city, there is no big difference in the volume of the internal combustion engine, cars with both engines start equally briskly, the dynamics are good and even.

Diesel Nissan X Trail - 1.6 L, Y9M models, turbocharged, 130 hp. with., four-cylinder in-line.

By the way, diesel engine comes only in tandem with a manual transmission with four-wheel drive, the 2.5-liter QR25DE internal combustion engine is equipped with a variator also with a 4x4 transmission.

The MR20DD engine is available in all versions: with manual transmission and CVT, 2WD and 4WD.

CVT Nissan X Trail received seven virtual gears, and the driver now has the ability to manually brake the engine.

X-Tronic works on the principle of a classic torque converter automatic transmission - when accelerating and changing to another, the top gear it slows down somewhat.

Trunk and interior

Compared to the previous generation T31, the Nissan X Trail T32 has increased in size, and the trunk has grown accordingly, its volume in the new model is 497 liters.

The seats in the second row move back and forth, and the backrests tilt, which can increase the load area slightly.

The rear door is equipped with an electric drive for opening the lock (hands-free system), in the luggage compartment there are two shelves that allow you to put the load in two tiers.

The Hands-Free system works in this way: if the owner of the car has a car key in his pocket, it is enough to bring his hand to the trunk lock, and the electric drive will work, the door will open automatically.

On the back seat, passengers should not feel cramped: there is so much back room that even a person under two meters tall will have a small space above their head, and their knees do not rest on the front seat.

There is no tunnel in the middle of the floor at the back, and all three rear passengers are equally comfortable.

The trim in the car's interior does not cause any complaints: the assembly is of high quality, the materials are of good quality. The doors open at an angle of 77 degrees, which provides comfortable boarding and disembarkation of passengers.

Nissan X Trail specifications

Ikstrail T32 assembled in Russia has very good off-road qualities even in the 4x2 version, good cross-country ability is ensured thanks to ground clearance at 210 mm.

The car is equipped with a classic crossover suspension: MacPherson strut in front, and a multi-link design on the rear axle.

The car is equipped with all disc brakes, anti-lock braking system ABS and EBD brake distributor.

On the T32, the 17th and 18th are installed depending on the configuration wheel disks, the steering provides the ability to change the steering effort.

The "charged" version of the X-Trail has 6 speakers, 18-radius alloy wheels, and an electrically operated panoramic roof, the engine is started from a button.

(3rd generation) is based on the CMF modular platform, which is a modern variation of the Nissan C platform. Most of the car body elements are made of high-strength steels, which significantly lighten the total weight of the structure. The curb weight of the crossover, depending on the modification, varies in the range of 1525-1675 kg.

The Russian specification Nissan X-Trail provides for the presence of three power units: two gasoline "aspirated" with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters (144 and 171 hp respectively), as well as a turbocharged diesel 1.6 dCi with a return of 130 hp. (320 Nm). Both gasoline engines were installed on the previous generation (X-Trail T31), however, during the update of the crossover, they were modernized, resulting in a slight increase in power. Together with the engine, either a 6-speed manual transmission or an XTronic variator, emulating seven ranges, can work. Along with the front-wheel drive layout, there is an all-wheel drive with an intelligent All Mode 4 × 4-i all-wheel drive system.

The SUV's suspension is a scheme with MacPherson struts and a rear multi-link, and each of the modifications has its own chassis settings. The basic volume of the trunk of the car is limited to 497 liters (with five seats), the maximum is 1585 liters (configuration with two front passengers and rear seat backs folded).

Fuel consumption of the Nissan X-Trail T32 with a 2.0 engine is 7.1-11.2 liters, depending on the modification and driving mode. An all-wheel drive crossover with a 2.5 engine burns about 8.3 liters of fuel on average. Diesel X-Trail is the most economical - consumption of no more than 5.3 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km of track in a combined driving cycle.

The MR20DD petrol engine is an upgraded MR20DE unit from the previous Ixtrail. During the upgrade, the engine was equipped with a variable valve timing system on both camshafts, an intake manifold with variable length and direct injection. As a result, the power increased from 141 to 144 hp and the torque increased from 196 to 200 Nm.

2.5 QR25DE 171 HP

The four-cylinder QR25DE engine is a real long-liver, since it appeared back in 1999 and was installed on the very first Nissan X-Trail. During its life, the unit has been repeatedly updated, having received another batch of innovations by the time the third generation of Ixtrail debuted. The motor has got a new block head with holes for injectors (previously the injectors were installed on the manifold), a system for changing the phases on the intake and exhaust valves, and an intake tract with an adjustable length. All this, combined with an increase in the compression ratio from 9.6 to 10.0, gave a gain of 2 hp. (171 against the previous 169 hp) At the same time, the peak engine torque shifted from 4400 to 4000 rpm.

All wheel drive Nissan X-Trail

Crossover Nissan Ixtrail is an original front-wheel drive vehicle with a rear axle plug-in. The main component of the All Mode 4 × 4-i system is an electromagnetic clutch installed in front of the rear differential. The all-wheel drive system can be controlled using a three-mode switch located on the center tunnel.

The "2WD" position provides for the clutch opening, but in this mode the crossover still does not become exclusively front-wheel drive. If the electronics deem it necessary, some of the effort will go to the rear axle, but still the connection will be reluctant. The "4WD" mode is suitable for almost any conditions, therefore, it will most likely be used by the owner most often. In this case, the rear axle is connected automatically when the front wheels slip. The ratio of the transmitted torque varies from 100: 0 to 50:50.

In the "Lock" mode, the maximum current is applied to the clutch solenoid, as a result of which the clutch is completely locked. In this case, the effort is distributed in a fixed ratio of 50:50, which is forcedly maintained when driving at speeds up to 40 km / h. Exceeding this speed limit leads to the transition to the "Auto" mode.

The all-wheel drive design does not provide for the presence of full-fledged locks for the front and rear differentials. Electronic imitation of cross-wheel locks is performed by braking a slipping wheel.
