X-TRAIL Takes On A New Track

But the new range doesn’t stop there. Nissan has added a T-Spec version fitted with every toy in its 4x4 cupboard. There’s Nissan’s ESP+ system which combines electronic stability programme and traction control, a load bearing roof system with integrated Safari Lamps, and a Europe-wide DVD with BirdView satellite navigation system. All this for £1700 more than the equivalent SVE with which the T-Spec shares its electrically adjustable and heated front seats with leather upholstery.

The most popular version of the X-TRAIL has always been the Sport. And there’s no reason why it shouldn’t continue to be so especially now that it gets a new interior and the 2.5-litre 165PS engine with the option of automatic transmission as well as the new dCi 136PS diesel unit. The 2004 Sport has got more equipment, too, such as leather-rimmed steering wheel with audio controls, front fog lamps, active head restraints, fully colour coded exterior, that cargo net and a centre floor mounted box with lid. And that’s in addition to the enormous electric glass sunroof, 6CD autochanger, 16" alloys and roof spoiler it’s always had. Prices go from £18,995 for the 2.5 (auto adds £1000) to £19,795 for the dCi.

The SVE model now has black leather instead of the previous tan which out-doorsy customers thought not too clever. The front seats gain electric adjustment, eight-way for the driver and four-way for the passenger, in addition to their two level bum warmers. And the SVE also gets the multi-function cargo net and active front-seat head restraints like all other 2004 X-TRAILs. As with the Sport, 2.5 manual (£20,895) or auto (£21,895) and dCi versions (£21,695) are available – each are £1900 more than the Sport to which the SVE also adds electrically folding door mirrors. Very handy if you have on-street parking.

Obviously the X-TRAIL won’t have lost its four star NCAP safety rating. If anything, the car’s score should improve as all models gain active front seat head restraints and on the entry model, side airbags. Naturally anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist are standard across the range. And here is the range, all 11 models of it:
