Speaking of Nissan, we always Sylphy for its impressive home in the country, the name Sylphy sedans leader but very loud, many people consider car buyers use when the first thought is the Sylphy. However, Nissan’s sales, there is another a car is also among the highest in the country, and that is the Nissan X-Trail.
According to official data sales, 2019 sales of more than 210,000 X-Trail, although there is a great gap between 460,000 Sylphy, but this SUV sales in the domestic field has enough routed to the first Third, the row in front of it only Harvard H6 and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Thus, the X-Trail although usually more low-key, but in fact it is a “muffled fortune” model, its low price, rich configuration, and then plus ample interior space, let it become one of the joint venture brand SUV entry choice. I can only say that Nissan relatively good at grasping the market, demand for Chinese consumer insight was more profound.
However, this generation X-Trail after the listing has been relatively long time, it is also faced with the old problem of product platforms. In order to enhance the competitiveness of products Trail, product generation is now imminent. According to foreign media news, a new generation X-Trail has started road test, is likely to be available this year or early next year.
From the foreign media exposure of renderings and spy photos road test chart, the new generation X-Trail SUV is still maintained a city of style, the overall change is not large, the front face or a typical family of Nissan Design , thick chrome trim strip embedded in the edge of the network, still looks the same full texture. However, switching to the new generation X-Trail headlight group split, the top is sharp slender LED daytime running lights, the bottom is the distance light lamps, fog lights. Split lamps is the trend of recent years, the car industry, the X-Trail this finally gained access.
In the body side, and not existing body lines Trail changes may be obvious windowpane pattern seen with the cash Trail D-pillar and D-pillar not the same, the overall look will become more thick D-pillar number. Rear door lines richer level, the rear window area has also been increased, a more modern look.
Of course, the car is not listed, in fact, these changes are not yet conclusive. However, compared to the change in appearance is not too large, the new generation X-Trail is said to replace the new powertrain, there are news that the new generation X-Trail will introduce 1.3T engine, this engine equipped with the Mercedes A-Class is the same above engine models.
why Nissan and Mercedes-Benz engine also change something to the relationship? In fact, this is not only 1.3T engine mounted on a Mercedes A-Class, Mercedes-Benz GLB, Leinuokelei Bin above can also be seen in its presence. This depends on the Renault – Nissan – Mitsubishi alliance with Mercedes-Benz’s technical cooperation to begin with, and this engine is actually four car companies developed the product together, so not only can be used Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi is also available, but , Mercedes-Benz and Renault have been the first to use two or three years.
The Back 1.3T engine itself, it is quite bright technical mirror coating cylinder inner wall, “triangle” of the cylinder head, smart closing cylinder variable valve lift and other advanced technologies in the industry can be seen, and smart closing cylinders worth it to come up on one she said.
As we all know, due to the increasingly stringent emission standards, so many auto manufacturers also began to study the three-cylinder engine, but the three-cylinder machine intrinsic jitter is difficult to overcome, this time intelligent four-cylinder machine closed on anal technology to reduce emissions of the “big move.” The intelligent 1.3T closing cylinder engine above techniques may be based on the use of the vehicle, or at low speed just started, wherein the two cylinders closed, to work only with two cylinders, so that one can reduce fuel consumption, other but it is also reducing emissions, called a double benefit.
In the dynamic performance of the engine above the more important, 1.3T A Mercedes-Benz engine depending on power level adjustment it is divided into a low-power version of the 136 hp 163 hp and high-power version of this 1.3T engine came after Nissan X-Trail above, may be a lot of high-power 163-horsepower version, because the X-Trail vehicle weight of up to 1.5 tons, enough to power low-power version may be abundant, which will affect users use of experience. The 163 horsepower power than the current 2.0L engine power of the X-Trail to be big on 9 horsepower, believeTo the power of performance will be even better.
with the 1.3T engine swap, both the X-Trail updated powertrain necessary move, the only alternative is to deal with the current increasingly stringent emissions standards. Although Nissan has consistently insisted on the use of naturally aspirated engine, but the face of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, it eventually bow to the market. After all, manufacturers are to survive thing.
For consumers, it only takes less money will be able to enjoy the same section of the Mercedes-Benz engine, this feeling is so delicious!
