The #Nissan X-Trail family has just welcomed a new member into its UK lineup.

Equipped with a 2.0-liter diesel engine that is capable of pushing out 177 PS (175 HP) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque, the SUV carries a starting price of £29,095 ($35,904) and it can be had in 2WD and 4WD and with either a six-speed manual or an Xtronic CVT automatic gearbox.

When chosen with 4WD and the CVT, its official consumption is 47.1 mpg UK (39.2 mpg US/6 lt/100 km) and emits 158 g/km of CO2, while the 4WD six-speed manual and 2WD CVT auto return 50.5 mpg UK (42.05 mpg US /5.59 lt/100 km) and emit 149 g/km and 148 g/km of CO2, respectively.

"The new flagship Nissan X-Trail is a crossover that’s focused on delivering what consumers need. Offering 4WD linked to an automatic transmission for the first time, it’s a significant enhancement to the already strong X-Trail range. It’s also a compelling upgrade to our already successful 1.6-litre diesel model", commented Nissan Europe's Senior VP for Sales and Marketing, Guillaume Cartier.
