'X' could denote the negative. It could mean that one is in trouble, gave out a wrong answer, or a false claim. In math, the the term has to be identified to get the proper equation. In people, 'X' usually refers to the person you once had a relationship with which did not work well in the end.
But not all everything related to 'X' is negative. For one, receiving a 'negative' result when tested for prohibited drugs or a deadly disease is something to be celebrated about.
Nissan's 'X' is far different from what was mentioned above. Nissan's X-Trail 4x4 was like a treasure chest waiting to be discovered.
Unlike the ones we've read, watched, or heard, this treasure trove of a compact crossover is not buried deep in the ground. In fact, Nissan wants everyone to discover its gem.
And it is really a gem. From the outside, the X-Trail 4x4 shows exquisite beauty. Like a perfectly-cut diamond, the compact crossover has cuts that perfectly blends with its overall look.
The lines, however, did not water down the muscular look of the Nissan X-Trail 4x4. The big, bold emblem complemented the diamond-shaped LED projector headlamps, and the overall Premium Corona Orange exterior hue (available in the top-tier variety).
The interior shows how the troika of the black plastic, leather, and piano-key elements add a comforting and luxurious feel to the cabin. The added sunroof gives the vehicle more radiance and dazzle.
The flexibility of the undersized third row makes an ample compartment for almost anything--add to that the second-row seats that drop down and you get even more cargo space.
Going back to comfort, occupants can enjoy some 12 bottle holders seen all over the unit--four in the front, another four in the middle, and two at the back.
The leather seats matches well with the black carpet, meaning dirt and mud can easily be spotted and cleaned. Though it can be a problem during the hot season, we'd pick leather over cloth seats any day.
And the vehicle is not just pure aesthetics. The muscular exterior matches the performance that it delivers. The 2.5-liter QR25DE engine mated to CVT with a 4x4 function can deliver 169 horses and 233 Nm of torque.
This vehicle has its own intelligent features. This variant has a 360-degree view with motion detection, forward collision warning system, forward emergency braking, and hill descent control that is not available in the 4x2 kind.
Good thing is, the Nissan X-Trail 4x4 doesn't drone and rattle that much the way a diesel-fed vehicles does. Quiet as it is, this crossover guzzles gasoline like a hungry baby. Beauty--as well as comfort and power--does come with a price for the Nissan X-Trail 4x4.
As a compact crossover, space is a little generous though the height for this 4x4 looks a little low to be a real 4x4. Well, a little enhancement through the aftermarket would not hurt, compared to the bargain you had with the X-Trail.
The X in this 4x4 has been defined with its offers, breaking the norms of how we depict the character. With the X-Trail 4x4, it would hit the sweet spot.
