Nissan is controlled predictable and safe, but the reactions to the steering wheel and the suspension work are synthetic
The Nissan and Renault Union had more pretty children. The second generation of Nissan X-Trail is clearly not the fruit of a large and pure Japanese-French love. It is enough to look at the ancestor, he was noticeably more harmoniously complicated, competitors were equal to him, his assembled, lean profile and now recognizable in the stream and looks very courageously in the class of unisex parquets. The newcomer swam with fat, rests on the sinful ground with cars, and the gaze of the new block-far from the impudent turned into a stupid-vain ... But the salon was a success! It was about such an interior that many X-Trail owners of the first series dreamed. The dashboard is now in the usual place, in front of the driver. The quality of the materials is decent, ergonomics does not cause complaints, but how many mess and cup holders!
The boy was angry
and lost his former grace and harmony, cheeks and stomach were widened
A look at the road
through the windshield gives rise to associations with Land Rover. Issues a characteristic shape of the hood
In the city, X-Trail captivates with smoothness and ease of move, the 2.5 liter motor is easily and without excess noise takes a small car from traffic lights, and the variator, when calmly driving, works at comfortable, low speeds, not irritating with howls. With intensive acceleration, the tachometer shooter literally freezes on the border of the red zone, and the turns will not subside exactly until you release the pedal, even if the acceleration has long stopped
Great duet
motor and variator makes swimming in the city stream very light and smooth
The same team
when active driving and flights along suburban tracks, it annoys the engine howls
Softly creeps
i can’t believe in broken asphalt that there is something in common with Qashqai
Nissan is controlled predictable and safe, but the reactions to the steering wheel and the suspension operation are some kind of synthetic. Affects the kinship of platforms with Qashqai. Who came the idea to build a city, but an SUV on the far from the most ideal chassis of the Nissan Qashqai passenger car!? Of course, the story knew examples of successful unification, take at least Subaru Forester, having much in common with IMPREZA, but in this case the focus, if it was a success, is not one hundred percent. Needless to say, the off-road part of the X-Trail test failed with a bang? Neither geometric patency nor the road clearance caused fear. The failure was given by a full-wheel drive system, which had almost unchanged from his younger brother, for weight, crowned with a puck of the selection of transmission modes All Mode 4x4-I. The sense of this switch, as it turned out, slightly overheated almost immediately, and Nissan became front -wheel drive, without passing a kilometer along a fragmented field. Having rested for ten minutes, we were able to drive another five hundred meters and the situation with overheating repeated.
HABITAT
habitat X-Trail asphalt or dense soil. The fight against the ribbon is not his role
DESIGN
The first show of 2001, the new model of 2007, the design under the guidance of Siro Nakamura (Shiro Nakamura).
OUTSIDE
Due to its angularity and adhesiveness, X-Trail is recognizable and even unique. He seems to be a big and obviously boy, although some of the female drivers will find in this their topic and taste preferences. The cladding is corporate against SUVs of the modern Nissan model range. Faram eyes are also original, and correspond to the declared image. The proportions of the silhouette of an updated version from an increase of 120 mm did not become better, and the massiveness of the rear rack began to resemble an overloaded backpack on the back of the traveler. But powerful wheel arches and quite appropriate pads on the thresholds, which,, coupled with huge rear lights, give the situation to believe in the reliability and success of off -road adventures. At the back, of course, the rear lights and the unusually low -located lower connector of the fifth door will be remembered. It is convenient to load, but avoiding significant body damage during maneuvers will be more difficult. And this is also a design.
INSIDE
I think many will be happy with the housewarming of the device of the device combination, which moved from the longitudinal axis of the symmetry of the instrument panel to its historical place in front of the driver. As a result, everything looks traditional, but completely good. The nuances in the decoration are a corporate dish of Japanese designers, and everything is as always as always, the accents are arranged appropriately. On the steering wheel, for example.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
The all-wheel drive transmission All Mode 4x4-I, developed by the Nissan Motor for X-Trail models. The rear axle is connected automatically through a multi -disc hydrofoom with electronic control for hundredths of a second. In 4LO mode, the coupling is blocked, providing the traction moment 50:50 between the axes. The transmission, supplemented by two functions that distinguish it from the same on Qashqai. DSS (Downhil Drive Support) helps to descend safely from the mountains, controlling the speed at the level of 7 km/h, and the second, USS (Uphill Start Support), facilitates touling, holding from rolling away.
Configuration
Eight different configurations are available to customers of Nissan X-Trail. Four lower versions are called SE, their equipment is very modest, but the entire line of power units and transmission is available. Luxury lovers are addressed to configurations with the LE index, in which, as for granted, there are a majority of pleasant little things, such as a panoramic hatch, a radio with a mp3 playing function, an intelligent key tolerance system without a key. The top version of the AQD-C includes all conceivable options in the class of city SUVs.
