Design of 2017 Nissan X-Trail
The 2017 Nissan X-Trail has a very muscular and stylish design that stands out. The exterior is very bold, yet at the same time, it features advanced aerodynamics to add to the performance of this SUV. The interior is comfortable, thanks to its best-in-class front head room and soft touch surfaces.
Exterior
Athletic and rugged, the exterior of the 2017 X-Trail looks very exciting. The front of the vehicle looks striking with large chrome accents, small grille and wide lower grille. The side fenders are muscular so that they can encompass the wheel and the tyre better. The lines at the sides of the vehicle flow all the way back and end just before the wrap-around taillights.
Despite being rugged, the exterior is very stylish. This can be noticed in the LED Daytime Running Lights that sit elegantly in their sharp encasings at the sides of the front fascia. The 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels add style as well as help the driver to have optimal traction and handling in all conditions.
The signature LED tail lamps are still present at the back and make their commanding presence felt. These taillights flow into the rear fenders and the tailgate perfectly so that together, they can create a seamless finish and an unmistakable assurance of quality and craftsmanship. The rear spoiler has been added for better aerodynamics so that the X-Trail 2017 can cut through the air easily.
Interior
The interior of the 2017 X-Trail is spacious and covered with soft touch materials for enhanced comfort. The cabin has best-in-class head room for the front passengers so that the driver and the passenger can enjoy the ride with great ease. There is a 4.3-inch crystal clear LCD screen that offers “advanced driver-assist display” to enhance the overall driving experience.
The SUV comes with seating configurations for five passengers and seven passengers so that it can be selected according to the size of the family and the required cargo space. The seats are available with EZ Flex Seating System that features a second row of seats, which can recline and slide in order to adjust the cargo space and leg room as per need. Also available with this package are second-row seats with ventilation function that enhance the X-Trail’s in-cabin comfort.
The front seats come with heating function while the standard zero gravity seats help the driver and the passengers keep a neutral posture and reduce the fatigue caused by a long journey. The dual zone climate control allows the driver and the front passenger to have the perfect level of temperature inside the cabin.
When purchased with the third-row seats, the cargo capacity can be maximized by folding down the 50/50 split folding seats to carry the maximum amount of cargo. The second-row split-folding seats can be used to further maximize the cargo capacity to carry objects as long as eight feet.
To add to the capabilities of the rear boot, the newly added Luggage Board System offers adjustable shelves and dividers that can be configured to match the needs of the driver and passengers.

The 2017 Nissan X-Trail comes with an option of either a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It also wears the PUREDRIVE badge, which means that this SUV exceeds or meets the industry average emission standards.
The All-Mode 4×4-i mode selector offers a controlled ride for both on and off the road rides. The 2WD can be selected for maximum fuel efficiency, while the Auto Mode monitors the road conditions and adjusts the power between the rear and front wheels for better traction. Lastly, the 4WD Lock Mode is perfect for challenging road conditions when the driver requires more control of the vehicle.
