Nissan enthusiasts, brace yourselves! The iconic Nissan X-Trail N-Trek is making a triumphant comeback after a five-year hiatus, offering a rugged and distinctive appearance to the beloved SUV. With the introduction of the 2024 Nissan X-Trail N-Trek variant, the X-Trail lineup has expanded to cater to those seeking an off-road-inspired driving experience.
Last seen in 2019, the Nissan X-Trail N-Trek returns with renewed vigor, showcasing its blacked-out aesthetics that have become synonymous with the N-Trek badge. This special edition has graced other Nissan models in the past, including the Patrol, Pathfinder, and Navara.
Available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, the 2024 X-Trail N-Trek comes with a price tag starting from $47,290 for the front-wheel drive variant and $50,390 for the all-wheel drive version, excluding on-road costs. Anticipated to hit Australian dealerships later this month, the front-wheel drive N-Trek offers seating for five, while the all-wheel drive variant boasts a spacious seven-seat layout across three rows.
Building upon the foundation of the Nissan X-Trail ST-L, the N-Trek edition distinguishes itself with sleek black-finished exterior accents, including the grille surround, lower front bumper, side mirrors, door handles, and roof rails. Additionally, it features a striking set of 18-inch wheels and LED fog lights integrated into the front bumper.
Inside the cabin, drivers and passengers are treated to new water-resistant synthetic leather upholstery, along with a sophisticated array of technology. This includes a generous 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complemented by a digital instrument cluster of the same size and a convenient 10.8-inch head-up display, reminiscent of the upscale X-Trail Ti trim.
For those with an eye for personalization, the X-Trail N-Trek offers a selection of five single-tone exterior paint options and three two-tone finishes, allowing owners to tailor their vehicle to suit their style. Choices range from classic Gun Metallic and Diamond Black to more vibrant hues like Champagne Silver and Ivory Pearl.
Under the hood, the Nissan X-Trail N-Trek is propelled by the proven 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine found across the X-Trail lineup. Generating a robust 135kW of power and 244Nm of torque, this engine is paired with a smooth seven-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), delivering a balanced blend of performance and efficiency.
While the X-Trail N-Trek does not feature the e-Power hybrid system available in other X-Trail variants, it remains a compelling choice for drivers seeking a bold and capable SUV experience. With its distinctive design elements and enhanced features, the 2024 Nissan X-Trail N-Trek is poised to reignite excitement among enthusiasts and adventurers alike, offering a blend of style, performance, and versatility for the modern driver.
