The new Nissan X-Trail will be in UK showrooms from July. The model, which will be available in both two and four-wheel drive and in the familiar Nissan trim levels of Visia, Acenta, n-tec and Tekna. We have commented before on the fact that the new X-Trail is a significant departure in looks from the present version, which has a good following from enthusiasts, including this magazine. The latest version looks like a Qashqai to us, although we have yet to see it in the metal. It is also sad, perhaps, to comment that Nissan expect the biggest selling version to be the 2WD Visia model. Prices for the remaining models start at £24,795 for the Acenta, the n-tec starts at £27,295 and the top of the range Tekna which is a hefty £29,295. The 4×4 models are also available with the XTRONIC CVT transmission, while the other 4WD models have the latest version of the familiar ALL MODE 4×4-I system. Every model in the range is available with the seven-seater option; the extra row of seats adding £700 to the price.
