Several years ago, at school, there was a adolescent guy called Bradley. Now Bradley was about 6-feet tall, was adequately lanky, and was as white as archetype paper. Yet somehow he managed to be blacker than Fiddy Cent. You see, his cap was consistently backwards, his agreeable repertoire comprised every rap song anytime written, and his jeans were baggier than a abrasion cutting a tuxedo.
Bradley’s botheration was image. He aloof couldn’t acquire what he was, and several years later, he was no hip-hop music producer. No, he was aloof addition white guy again, and was aback to normal. Which is why it affronted me at the time, that he couldn’t aloof be himself. Why did he accept to try to affect everyone?
The aforementioned goes with the Australian car market. What is it with bodies affairs four-wheel-drives back they’re acutely not activity to anytime go off-road? I accept several accompany who accept bought soft-roaders and debris to alike booty them bottomward to the beach. “I ability blemish it” was one of the responses, and what afraid me alike added was that they were asleep serious.
Engine choices are also changed from two to one as only a 2-litre petrol engine is available. This is the MR20DE 4-cylinder engine, different from the one in the first X-Trail which had a QR-series engine. The all-aluminium MR engine series was jointly developed by Nissan and Renault and is used in the French carmaker’s models too. The 2-litre version for the new X-Trail produces 139 bhp/198 Nm and has enhanced efficiency with variable valve timing. It’s actually the same RON95-compatible engine as found in the Sylphy (but tweaked for enhanced torque) and like the sedan, it also uses Nissan’s XTRONIC CVT with 6 speeds.
The SUV’s engine and transmission also ensure superior fuel economy. Tests have shown that the X-Trail’s average fuel consumption is a healthy 14km per litre (Japan 10-15 mode) - and this is comparable to that of many sedans on the road today.
These include bi-xenon headlamps for improved visibility at night and during bad whether; an intelligent system for true keyless entry and startups; enhanced audio system with MP3 playback, six virtual CDs, USB port, AUX jack, SD Card connectivity, Bluetooth function and Telephone Control Input; as well as dual air bags, ABS, BA (Brake Assist) and six-star safety rating by the Japanese New Car Assessment Programme.
