THE 2023 Nissan X-TRAIL is being celebrated by Y K Almoayyed & Sons, the sole distributor of Nissan in Bahrain, for its growing success and for capturing the hearts of customers on the island with its six pioneering features.
Making its regional debut earlier this year, the all-new fourth-generation X-TRAIL not only builds on a rich legacy that spans 20 years, but also serves as the perfect embodiment of Nissan’s commitment to innovation that excites.
“Contributing to our strong SUV leadership in Bahrain, the all-new 2023 Nissan X-TRAIL builds on the global and regional success of its predecessors,” said Nissan Bahrain’s general manager Ahmed Al Dailami.
“With thrill embedded in its DNA and innovation in its design, driving dynamics, and technologies, the 2023 Nissan X-TRAIL is geared to lead the segment for years to come.
“We are proud to offer customers in Bahrain an SUV that not only adapts to the ever-evolving demands of SUV buyers but transcends conventional boundaries by democratising cutting-edge mobility for all.”
It definitely does raise the bar within the mid-size SUV segment as it is built for families and adventure seekers alike; is equipped with a host of innovative technologies that come together to offer greater safety, convenience, and comfort.
This includes Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility suite of features, which combines the three pillars of Intelligent Driving, Intelligent Power and Intelligent Integration for a safer and more connected experience behind the wheel.
Nissan’s most technologically advanced SUV boasts the largest Heads-Up display in the segment at 10.8 inches.
The Heads-Up Display greatly reduces distractions by providing drivers with key information pertaining to speed and direction within their direct line of sight. Hence, the motorist will avoid glancing at multiple gauges, dials and screens while driving.
The display is complemented by a 12.3-inch intuitive touch-screen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital and customisable instrument cluster display.
Together, it’s an immersive experience through a combined 35.4 inches of cabin screens.
The 2023 Nissan X-TRAIL features the brand’s ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving system that offers enhanced safety and convenience on the road. Combining Nissan’s Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist technologies, ProPILOT Assist utilises a variety of sensors and sonar technologies to automatically accelerate, brake and keep the X-TRAIL within a single lane on the highway.
The system is able to cruise at a set speed, maintain a specified distance and brake to 0km/h in heavy stop-start traffic.
The SUV also debuts a new Intelligent 4x4 system with direct coupling that reacts faster than ever before, allowing for the seamless transfer of power between axles for ultimate stability and traction off road.
A twist-dial Drive Mode Selector provides drivers five modes to choose from – Off-Road, Snow, Auto, Eco and Sports – with the added benefit of Hill Descent Control for carefully modulated downhill driving.
Powering the X-TRAIL is an all-new 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 181 horsepower and 244 Nm of torque. Power is pushed through an advanced Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with paddle-shift controls for manual override of the new shift-by-wire transmission interface.
It is also equipped with Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility suite of active and passive safety features making its 2023 model the safest X-TRAIL to date. Contributing to this is Nissan’s Safety Shield 360, which is available as standard across the X-TRAIL line-up and monitors the surrounding area to keep those within and around the X-TRAIL as safe as possible.
The technologies include, but are not limited to, Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Intervention, Blind Spot Intervention, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
For added safety it also offers drivers and passengers effortless smartphone integration, through Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity. As for charging options, the Premium Urban Crossover offers front and rear USB charging with USB-A and USB-C ports, in addition to a 15W wireless charging pad to ensure all devices are fully charged at all times.
Last but not least, the 2023 Nissan X-TRAIL offers families added peace of mind and convenience by being fitted with a Power Liftgate with Motion Sensing. Drivers can open the lift gate and load the X-TRAIL by simply waving their foot below the rear bumper, and with the Intelligent Key within range.
Convenience is further enhanced through the optional seven-seater configuration that offers EZ Flex Seating with a split-folding, sliding, and reclining second row bench seat. For occasions when all seven seats are occupied, or the rear view is obstructed by bulky cargo, the Intelligent Rear View Mirror flips into action; changing from mirror to monitor at the flip of a switch.
The Intelligent Rear View Mirror utilises a rear hatch camera to offer drivers a wider field of view, helping to avoid obstructions for an unimpeded view behind the vehicle.
The all-new 2023 Nissan X-TRAIL is available in three trim levels (S, SV, and SL) with 2WD or 4WD configurations and with the option of five-seater or seven-seater, at Nissan’s partner network across the Middle East.
