With Nissan X Marks The Spot

With Nissan X Marks The Spot

Date: 2015-07-24
The all-new Nissan X-TRAIL joined the brand's South African product line-up as the latest and greatest with true crossover appeal. The all-new, third-generation Nissan X-TRAIL retains the hallmarks of its forebears such as supreme driveability, generous off-road ability and all-terrain suitability, and features a brand new, super-modern crossover design.

"With the new Nissan X-TRAIL, we are embracing an even greater mix of SUV consumers," comments Graeme Birch, General Manager of Marketing Communications at Nissan South Africa. "The SUV market is globally popular, and with increasing gravitation towards crossover vehicles which combine the dynamics and aesthetics of passenger and sports vehicles with the driving experience and off-road ability of an SUV, the new X-TRAIL fits perfectly above our JUKE and QASHQAI crossover ranges.

"That being said, X-TRAIL has lost none of its go-anywhere attitude and embodies its pay-off line, 'Keep up with your true self'. It also personifies our 'Innovation that Excites' brand philosophy by introducing ground-breaking new features and technology to the segment. Generous ground clearance, our industry-leading intelligent four-wheel drive technology and a selection of punchy engines means off-road driving is fun and exciting, while the heightened levels of ride comfort, interior luxury and generous specification levels position new X-TRAIL perfectly for a balanced lifestyle in and out of the city."

Built for South Africa at the Nissan Kyushu Plant in Japan, the all-new X-TRAIL has already been bestowed with the United Kingdom's 2014 What Car? Readers' Choice Award. The all-new Nissan X-TRAIL arrives in South Africa as an eight-model range, including two-and four-wheel drive trains, five or seven seats, petrol and diesel engine options as well as manual or Xtronic CVT transmissions.

Available now for you to test drive at McCarthy Nissan Umhlanga, so pop into their showroom at 1 -3 Sunset Close, Umhlanga Ridge or call them on 031 576 5300 for more information.
