Come hell or high water, Nissan hass unveiled an enhanced version of its popular compact crossover, the X-Trail. It defied the elements to launch recently the compact crossover known for its high ground clearance and go-anywhere capabilities. Company officers and enthusiasts joined the unveiling of the new X-Trail at the Blue Leaf events hall in Paranaque.
Visible changes were made to the X-Trail’s front fascia, which Nissan says is a global design norm highlighted with Nissan’s signature V Motion 2.0 grille design. The angular and aggressive front end compliments the bumper and re-styled fog lamp clusters. The rear end has more chrome accents with a reshaped lower bumper.

We want them to treat the new X-TRAIL as a partner that looks out for them so they can have a fun and hassle-free time on the road,” Narasimhan added.
