Nissan X-Trail 2008 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The X-Trail is Nissan's entry for the small road-going 4WD market, though for a long time we thought it was really a midsize comparable to the old Pathfinder in size. Developed to attract young adventurous buyers, we find the X-Trail particularly unattractive, but it has proved to be a runaway success with older people just looking for a conservative vehicle that looks like a 4WD. The X-Trail has undergone only slight exterior redesigns and interior upgrades ever since it was launched years ago and is beginning to look dated. Powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine coupled with a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission, it isn't particularly fast, but a reasonable long-distance cruiser. Full-time four-wheel drive is available when the computer system senses the need for all wheels to be driven to suit demand, but it will get stuck if you take it beyond the beach. The interior is full of storage spaces, including cup-holders, centre console box and other nooks and crannies. ABS brakes and 2 airbags are standard.
