Nissan launches new engine for X-Trail

Nissan has launched a new diesel engine for its popular X-Trail crossover model.

The new 2.0-litre block offers 177 PS and will be available in the first few months of 2017.

In addition, the range has also been expanded by the introduction of a new Xtronic automatic gearbox, linked to a four-wheel drive transmission.

Guillaume Cartier, senior vice president for sales and marketing, Nissan Europe, explained: "The new flagship Nissan X-Trail is a crossover that’s focused on delivering what consumers need. Offering 4WD linked to an automatic transmission for the first time, it’s a significant enhancement to the already strong X-Trail range. It’s also a compelling upgrade to our already successful 1.6-litre diesel model."

Prices for the X-Trail with the 2.0-litre engine start at £29,095.
