Equipment
X-Trail models of this generation come well equipped, particularly in terms of safety. A ‘Smart Vision Pack’ is included with the standard equipment on our N-Vision model, and this comprises forward emergency braking, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition. Hill Start Assist is there too, and chassis control aids including ride and braking driver aids and the ‘around view monitor’ colour parking camera system.
Equipment to impress occupants includes dual zone auto air conditioning, a seven-inch touchscreen with DAB radio, Bluetooth and all the usual bells and whistles, and a panoramic sunroof.
