Nissan to start selling new X-Trail on June 12

TopGear.com.ph Philippine Car Launch - Nissan X-Trail

The new Nissan X-Trail has finally arrived and it will be available in local dealerships starting June 12.

Nissan has brought in the Nissan X-Trail CVT in 4x2 and 4x4 variants priced at P1.350 million and P1.550 million, respectively.

The new Nissan X-Trail's 2.5-liter QR25DE engine is designed to improve combustion and generate lower noise and vibration while delivering peak performance figures of 170hp of power and 230Nm of torque. Mated to it is Nissan's Xtronic CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) that shifts gears smoothly whether on the highway or on rough roads while improving its fuel efficiency.

The Nissan X-Trail 4x4 has a dial-controlled electronic four-wheel drive (4WD) system that may be switched at any speed and in any driving condition. In normal driving situations, the two-wheel mode is ideal for getting the most mileage in everyday driving. The Auto mode, meanwhile, monitors the engine speed and acceleration and automatically distributes the required torque to the rear wheels whenever needed. In 4WD mode, the center clutch can be locked to turn the Nissan X-Trail into a full-time 4WD vehicle.

While the all-new Nissan X-Trail is a capable off-road vehicle, its occupants' comfort is not sacrificed as it has a versatile seating arrangement. Its cargo-carrying capacity has also been increased as the rear seats can be folded flat to accommodate two mountain bikes without detaching their front wheels. Nissan has also placed the SUV's instrument cluster to the traditional location right in front of the driver, junking the awkward center-mounted design found in the old X-Trail.

The all-new X-Trail also puts a premium on safety features with six airbags, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, and Nissan's Zone Body Concept for additional safety and protection in case of frontal crash.

"The coming of the all-new Nissan X-Trail CVT, as well as the other models that we bring in, is a testament of our commitment to our customers. Commitment to deliver the best value product that will fit their needs and wants," said Allen Chen, president and chief executive of Nissan Motor Philippines, Inc. "The all-new X-Trail is packaged just like that--a vehicle that will respond to the consumers' lifestyle needs supported by features that will provide them ease, comfort, pleasure, and safety."

Feel like mocking Nissan for not giving the X-Trail a total facelift? We're sure Nissan won't mind. After all, the carmaker decided to maintain the Nissan X-Trail's looks to keep the "tough and functional features known to the X-Trail."

"Based on the comprehensive research among first-generation X-Trail owners, they loved the car so much they did not want to change a thing," Nissan said in a statement. "Hence, the all-new Nissan X-Trail applies the styling concept 'function-oriented design' intended to appeal rigidness, comfortable roominess and good visibility leading to good maneuverability."

  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says for me di ung base variant na 4x2 dapat mga 1.150M lng. pero ung top-of-the-line variant tama lng ang price. (07 June 2010)

LOL!!HAHA... sabi nga nila kaya dami nangloloko kasi madami ding NAGPAPALOKO. HAHA! (07 June 2010)
  • AM3 says @felix, The styling might be similar (evolutionary), but the new X-Trail now uses the newer Renault-Nissan C platform (Renault Megane, Nissan Sentra, Qashqai etc) and is slightly bigger than the previous gen X-Trail. (07 June 2010)
  • michael says Dalin nalang qashqai dito,makakalimutan nyo pa kung ano ang xtrail. (07 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says @rem tama ka. usually kong nakikita ang mga x-trail may nakalagay sa windshield (for sale call ********) o kaya (for sale 2009 x-trail) o kaya (rush! 2009 nissan x-trail 250K!) marami talaga. (07 June 2010)
  • bobo ni boogiecat says are you sure na nilalangaw ang CRV? ignorant! (07 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says @boogiecat don't underestimate Honda. i'm here to tell you na ang second favorite kong car brand ay HONDA. at pang-lima lng sa favorites ko ang NISSAN MO!!! alam mo kung bkt? kasi ung pinakapaborito ko ay Mitsubishi second honda third hyundai forth suzuki fifth NISSAN. pang-lima lng sa mga paborito ko ang Nissan jasi karamihan sa mga kotse ng nissan LATE DUMATING! kaya kung wla ka lng mapopost na maganda wag ka na magcomment! (07 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says fourth* (07 June 2010)
  • Sana says Im disappointed w/ their pricing. Alam mo, I really was getting ready to buy the new X-Trail 4x2 (no need for the 4x4 variant) but now, my options are the Montero Sport or Fortuner...same price range...ang bobo talaga Nissan! Siempre 1st gen X-trail owners want the same look tapno their old X-trail "looks" like the "new"...@ BC - sorry pare, but look at the price, I really wanted the new X-Trail, 1.1m lang dapat yng 4x2,.. (07 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says oh see tama comment ko dapat mga 1.150M lng dapat sa 4x2. @sana good choices. ayaw mo ba isama sa choices mo sana ang ford everest? (07 June 2010)
  • xtrail neutral says wag na kayong bumili ng sasakyan! maglakad nalang kayo o mag commute ba... puro kayo nag aaway.. (07 June 2010)
  • digitalron says Nissan should have priced it at 1.15M and 1.30M if they had wanted to attract buyers. At the pricing they used, the Tucson is a better choice if cargo area roominess is not a very big consideration... and for only a little bit more cash, the Montero Sport is the definitely better option. (07 June 2010)
  • xtrail x says if the 1.5m variant has a sunroof and signal light repeaters on the side mirrors, then the price is justified (07 June 2010)
  • ANTI BOOGIECAT says eww boogiecat bata ka pa! (07 June 2010)
  • jclogan says This is the worst launch of 2010. This X-Trail will only sell simply because of TopGear. (07 June 2010)
  • Ewwww Xtrail says Baho ng Xtrail... mahal pa! Kayo bibili ba kayo ng t**? hindi di ba? (07 June 2010)
  • AM3 says @Sana, The FWD X-trail at P1.35M is a bit expensive, but its not bad since the base engine is now 2.5 liters and the X-Trail itself is a bit bigger than the old one. At 182.3 in (4630 mm), the new X-Trail is almost 9 inches longer than the Tucson. (07 June 2010)
  • nissanfan says I agree with @digtalron The Tucson is a much better choice since it's newer, it looks better and Hyundai tops most quality surveys lately. (07 June 2010)
  • ... says This one's launch here because I feel the next gen X-Trail will soon be launched globally. Too bad NMPI may take two years again to introduce that one. (07 June 2010)
  • Nirvana says bakit isang beses lang nag comment c boogiecat? baka nabangungot n sa kakapanaginip n madaming bibili ng x-trail kaso ndi naman mga bobo ang mga pinoy kaya walang bibili nyan maganda p mga suv ng hyundai may diesel p (07 June 2010)
  • rdjl_13 says 1.35 for a base model??? better choices are the fortuner and montero sport. but for the compact suv's, the tucson is better. you can buy a 2.0 CRDI 4x4 tucson with that price. :D honestly, i want that tucson. :) (07 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says @Nirvana hehehehe baka nga nabangungot na magiging mabenta ang x-trail. eh sa perang igagasta mo sa base variant puede ka na makabili ng Montero spt. at alterra nyan eh. dapat ang base variant kasi 1.1M lng hnd 1.350M. late na nga OVREPRICED PA! i would rather buy a tucson than a mere X-trail. (07 June 2010)
  • macmac says WOW, it sucks. (07 June 2010)
  • michael says "The coming of the all-new Nissan X-Trail CVT, as well as the other models that we bring in, is a testament of our commitment to our customers.

"The all-new X-Trail is packaged just like that--a vehicle that will respond to the consumers' lifestyle needs supported by features that will provide them ease, comfort, pleasure, and safety" Commitment daw e bakit 3 yrs late yang bagong xtrail at sentra nyo? Mas wise kung bumili ka ng cr-v,tucson,or forester. At hintayin nyo lang yung bagong elantra,kasama pa nun cruze,civic,forte(alam ko overpriced ang forte pero at least hindi 3 yrs late at mas maganda kesa sa sentra 200),lancer,impreza,at corolla altis(mas pipiliin ko pa yun kesa sa sentra 200)and they will kick the sentra 200's *ss into oblivion! (07 June 2010)
  • feeter says This new X-trail is bigger than it's predecessor, tapos eh 170hp engine, with 4x4 option pa. For its price na katulad na rin ng Captiva and CR-V, pwede na. Bibili na lang ako ng 2nd hand na Fortuner!!! (07 June 2010)
  • regiusace17 says i looks cheap pa rin (for me) (07 June 2010)
  • AA says they'll probably release a M/T next year which will be cheaper than these introductory models. Halos lahat ng carbrands ganun strategy... (07 June 2010)
  • tyler durden says please correct me if i'm wrong, the current (philippine market) mazda2 & cx-7 i think were launched globally in '07. so guys, quit complaining that we're getting the old models. be thankful that they are available to us. if nmpi would grow some cajones, they should bring in the aforementioned qashqai or the juke. (07 June 2010)
  • Gilbert Lopez says Yes, this "new" X-Trail is too expensive. The best value for an entry level SUV would be a 4x2 Escape - the core design may be old, but Ford has improved it a lot over the years - the latest version is much quieter and rides better than the older versions. Plus, it massively undercuts even the Koreans with a price of less than P1m. (07 June 2010)
  • manong taxi says mahal naman sa presyong 1.3 to 1.5 million madami na pwede pagpilian ang isang pinoy, meron toyota fortuner,mitsubishi fortuner,hyundai tucson at santa fe. (07 June 2010)
  • CX says give it a chance guys, it's been bashed too much even before it was introduced. I think it's priced just fine, given the fact that it has 6-airbags and all those chimes&bells. Looks-wise, yes it definitely resembles the previous generation X-Trail, but it looks macho and tough IMO. There's no next gen xtrail in the works just yet since this Xtrail was launched 2 years ago in other countries. Let's see how this will perform against the softroaders here in our country, the more the better ! =D (08 June 2010)
  • cristan says yeah let us give this nissan x trail a chance, perhaps its performance will compensate the looks. i'l just be honest, this SUV is the last among the list of suv i would recommend to my friends. a good move though for the six airbags. it should be standard to all suvs. God bless. (08 June 2010)
  • Blad C. says Taiwan crap agin (08 June 2010)
  • titan says pangit ng x-trail... (08 June 2010)
  • AM3 says @Blad C, this the X-Trail currently sold in Europe and Japan. Technically its the current model. Another thing people seem to ignore is the fact that the new X-Trail has grown a bit bigger. I guess we can expect it to have more interior/cargo room. It now has an overall length of 182.3 in (4630 mm), about 9 inches longer than a Tucson. (08 June 2010)
  • hhhhmmmm... says maganda ang offer nilang 2.5L sa 4x2 variant. medyo magiging hesitant ang potential cr-v 2.0 buyers nyan. sayang lang dahil mukhang luma pa din ang x-trail. (08 June 2010)
  • digitalron says The X-Trail immediately previous to this one had the 250 model which is 4x4 and has the same engine priced at below 1.2M. Even with all the trimmings and CVT, the new one should have been okay at 1.3M... 1.35M tops simply because there are other more desirable options out there at that price range. Besides, keeping the same engine then making the body bigger means more load for the engine to carry which results in a not-so-good FC. If this model came out at 1.3M, then it could have possibly captured some Tucson buyers who want more space and some Montero Sport buyers who wanted a either a cheaper automatic or cheaper 2.5 engined SUV (at the cost of slightly less space and 5-seater instead of 7-seater). With the current pricing, buyers would just go either Tucson or MS... or even Escape. (08 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says @titan - maganda kaya ang xtrail..kung nasa year 2000 pa lang tayo hahaha.NMPI naman!!! ilang taon ng ganyan ang hitsura nyan tapos mamahalan niyo pa. st*p*d sales team (08 June 2010)
  • Elka says 5 seaters for 1.5M? with an old body NO WAY!! 1.1M I might consider. Lots of better choices out there... (08 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT says Elka galing sa bagong C-Platform yang new X-Trail kaya mas malaki at mas maganda yan sa CRV at RAV-4 na rivals nya!Montero Sport and Tucson are TOO COMMON AND VERY DULL IMHO!Pricey pa ang ang ibang variants ng Tucson(wtf 1.6 to 1.7 Million ang Premium variants!!),Montero Sport?YUCK MAG FORTUNER AT STRADA KA NALANG!,Santa Fe?YUCK LUMA NAYAN!!..Grabe PANALO NA ANG NEW X-TRAIL! (08 June 2010)
  • Antanga ni boogiecat! says Walang kwenta Nissan!late na maglabas ng model, tapos yung bagong model nila kamuka pa ng lumang generation. lalangawin lang yan!.... (08 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT says Nirvana na TANGEK eh mas lalangawin nyan ang CRV na BULOK AT OVERPRICED PA.Di hamak na mas sulit ang 2.5 6 Speed CVT 2WD new X-Trail over sa 2 liter A/T 2WD variant ng CRV na NILALANGAW NA! (08 June 2010)
  • bobo ni boogiecat says boogiecat bobo ka talaga! e kahit anong paninira gawin mo sa honda hinde yan talunan sa sales considering they have only 5 models in the market still nasa top five sila. how about your favorite nissan? sentra-sobrang luma na, the sentra 200-pricey less gadgets nakasteel rim pa yuck!, xtrail-dull, expensive, nothing to show but full of crap, serena-another trying hard minivan, teana-t**! too old to reach RP shores, verita - is this microcar still available?. 350z? asan ang 370z????.hinde kame t*ng* tulad mo! wag mong gawing t*ng* ang pinoy!. (08 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says pasensya na sa lahat di ako na nagcomment na "maganda kaya ang nissan x-trail........" remember uminit na ulo ko kay boogiecat kaya medyo di kona nagugustuhan ang nissan. @boogiecat hater iba ang itsura ng nissan serena sa ibang bansa. sa america yata ung serena doon ung serena ng takara-tomy toys. actually i have one. (08 June 2010)
  • sachiel says For me ok yun price ng 4x2 variant. Competitive na with CRV, Forester and CX7. Pag lumabas yun 2.0 at least sure tayo na mga P1.2M+ lng, ang di ko alam is bakit di nila nilabas yun MR20 na engine. Feeling ko mabenta kasi toh sa ibang bansa kaya kulang stocks ng engine na toh. Which makes NMPI irritating kasi tayo lagi last priority. Wag nyo na pansinin si boogiecat. We all know clearly na Honda is no. 1 in US for quality and CRV is a very very reliable car since it was introduced. But Nissan's quality for me is a close second. Look at the car comparisons in caranddriver.com. Xterra beats H3, 4 Runner, Grand Cherokee in 4x4 segment. Armada is second place in full size SUV, Titan is 2nd place in pikcup and Pathfinder is 2nd in mid size SUV. They don't have Xtrail so there's no review. Si BC lng naman reason kaya nasira name ng Nissan so don't listen to him. (08 June 2010)
  • Nirvana says isa kang timang boogiecat eh ang sales ng crv eh halos buong sales n ng nissan ramen mo LOL!!! Nissan sentra mo ata halos walang bumibili nabubulok n sa mga display dapat ipakilo n lang sa junkshop ang sentra mo para kumita kahit papano ang nissan hahahahaha (08 June 2010)
  • Elka says @BOOGIECAT - "CRV at RAV-4 na rivals nya!Montero Sport and Tucson are TOO COMMON AND VERY DULL IMHO" wala na mas dull sa new model na ginaya yung old design. :D kung baga sa ulam na adobo sawang sawa na yung kumakain, ang ginawa ng kusinero nilagyan lang ng isang itlog at sinerve ulit... (08 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says @elka make it 5 eggs. kasi di lng isa ang bago sa x-trail. pero ung old design ng x-trail nandyan pa rin. (08 June 2010)
  • michael says @Boogiecat too dull ang Tucson? Mag salamin ka nga! The Tucson will kick your precious xtrail's *ss into oblivion! Tignan mo ang specs ng premium variant ng tucson: smart key w/push-button start/stop function,panoramic moonroof,at di mo pa nakita ung 2.4 GLS:6 airbags,ABS and EBD,electronic stability program,downhill brake control,hill start assist function,leather,seats and trim,metallic accents,a six disk multimedia audio system w'ipod and usb connectivity,trip and mileage computer,sterring whell mounted audio controls and cruse control buttons and dual-zone automatic climate controls,and its 92k cheaper than your preciuos xtrail. Kasama pa dun ang design ng Tucson na mas maganda kesa sa xtrail mo.Ano? Pricey pa rin ang tucson? (08 June 2010)
  • michael says *w/ipod (08 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT says Kawawa naman ang mga Honda at Toyota salesman dito sa TGP at LALONG LALANGAWIN ANG CRV AT RAV-4 NA OVERPRICED AT UNDERPOWERED SA MAS BAGO AT MAS MALAKAS NA NEW X-TRAIL!Yung mga Mitsu fanboys dyan eh intindihin nyo nalang kung paano ilalabas dito ng MMPC ang Outlander at RVR dahil baka di na daw lumabas yan kasi HINAHARANG NG HARI-HYUNDAI ANG JPEPA!

  • BOOGIECAT says @boogiecat bakla: OO BAKLA AKO! (09 June 2010)
  • Sana says @ BC- Pare, nakita ko yng actual unit...definetly better then the previous models pero because of the pricing, the family wants either the Montero, Fortuner and I'll listen to JMM and look at the Everest. Talaga disappointed ako sa pricing nila pare. Dapat 1.1m yng 4x2. Binili ko sana kasi, it has more space then the Tuscon GLS and would have been cheaper at same price as Escape XLT 4x2...What was Nissan thinking? The only reason they made 10th place was the Navarra is a hit! Kudos to Navarra! (09 June 2010)
  • Takumi Fujiwara says @Sana kapag lalakihan ng Mitsubishi ang susunod na Strada ang Navarra ma-leleft behind yan. sa america, dalawa ang navarra doon. Nissan Navarra at Suzuki Equator. maagkano ba budget nyo Sana? advice ko lng sau kung kukuha ka ng everest medyo gas guzzler sya pero maporma katulad ng Montero sprt. fortuner nmn magtest drive ka ng isa(mas maganda sa off-road para ma-feel mo ang suspension para malaman mo kung matagtag o hnd).isa pa sa fortuner di ba may recall yan sa D4-D problem? kung Montero sprt bibilhin mo Sana kung gusto mo pang pormahan bumili ka ng............ ano ngang pangalan nun? side decal yata tawag doon. (09 June 2010)
  • equinox says grabe pangit naman ng xtrail. guys napansin niyo ba kahawig ng luma... (09 June 2010)
  • none says Di lang kahawig, twag dyan facelift at hindi new generation (09 June 2010)
  • mp23 says @Sana I would like to ask what is the quality of that dashboard that I believe is made of plastic. Is it quite hard and hollow or a bit soft and feels worthy of the price tag? I have yet to see one in person. (09 June 2010)
  • buyer na sana says langyang ahente ng nissan yan, tumawag para sabihin na may bagong x-trail. next week daw pwede na mag book. all new daw at tignan ko daw sa net. Sa kwento niya sobrang ganda. Nung makita ko e parang wala naman binago, over priced pa! Sayang sa oras talaga mga ahente! (09 June 2010)
  • sachiel says This sat pupunta ako sa Nissan Libis to have a look. Sabay raw yun Sentra sa Xtrail ibebenta na date. (10 June 2010)
  • Tony Y. says I tried driving the X-Trail once and I like the comfort while driving it. Planning to get this car kaso nakakadismaya with it's price for the 4x2 model. Wala naman binago sa porma except maybe for the size and other features. Tingin ko overprice and 4x2 model at the price of 1.3M. (11 June 2010)

  • sagaraemiru says Sheesh, still the same old people who blindly bash Nissan simply because it isn't Toyota or Honda or Ford. When will they ever learn? (11 June 2010)

  • sachiel says Who says it's old? Other countries has this model as well and they are buying it. If other countries are st*p*d in buying this X-trail, I won't be suprised why the Philippines is the least priority of Nissan. (11 June 2010)

  • sagaraemiru says @ neutral xtrail: Despite your name, you still have Toyota or Honda or Ford in your mind and heart. Idiot logic you got there, eh. Do your research first before you bash Nissan. Hirap kasi sa inyo, nadadala kasi kayo ng mob mentality. Ayaw lang ng marami sa nissan, ayaw ninyo na rin. Word of mouth kasi, eh. And to all those who say that Nissan is overpriced: Go look at the price of Toyota and Kia first. Now look who is overpriced. Blind anti-Nissan zombies. (12 June 2010)
  • sachiel says Was able to test drive the new Xtrail a while ago. It looks better in person. The picture doesn't do it justice. So far everything is better especially the rear aircons. But there are some minor things that bothers me like the lack of Aux In, steering wheel is too light(i like the old steering wheel better), the horn is not loud, the left foot rest is too high and the aircon is too cold(a plus). Rear seats are ok, it's a little wider than the old so it's easier to get in the rear seats. Wasn't able to test fully the CVT coz it's a little traffic in Libis but it has semi manual mode like the paddle shifters but i have to check if there is a sudden break when releasing the gas pedal. I like to glide my car to improve FE so i hope this is just a bug of the test unit. Overall it's a lot better than the old one. OT. The new Sentra looks good in person and more spacious than it looks. My height is 5"11 and so far the rear seats are comfortable. The plastics and leather are all good. Unfortunately there's no test drive unit. (12 June 2010)
  • dino says @neutral xtrail -> DI NGA AKO BIBILI hahahaha! LOL! (13 June 2010)
  • BOOGIEDOG says sana nilabas nalang nila ang nissan pathfinder with that pricing rather than the xtrail (13 June 2010)
  • sagaraemiru says @ BOOGIEDOG Despite the possible status of the Navara-based Pathfinder as a Fortuner fighter, mahirap pang maibenta ang Pathfinder dito sa ngayon. Hindi pa kasi siya ginagawa sa Thailand. Kung ibebenta siya ngayon ng Nissan, para ka nang bumili ng Infiniti EX (largely due to taxes), which is not a good thing. (13 June 2010)
  • sachiel says Oh, there is also one major issue on the new Xtrail, the fuel tank cover is not locked! You can open it by just pressing the right side of the cover. For me this is a major problem in Philippines since they can steal or put anything inside the fuel tank. I hope Nissan has a solution for this. (13 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says Pang 5th na gusto ko tong NISSAN na brand... di kasi maayos at maganda mga autonila. (13 June 2010)

  • neutral xrail says ANO KA BA? PATHFINDER PRESYOHAN MO NANG 1.5M?..TSK TSK! BUSINESS TO! NAGLALARO LANG YAN SILA BY MAKING PRICES SIMILAR TO OTHER BRANDS AT SIMILAR FEATURES/MODEL... FOR ALL INFORMATION THE PRODUCTION COST OF AN AVERAGE VEHICLES IS ONLY AROUND 50% OF THE ACTUAL PRICE..??? BOOGIEDOG says sana nilabas nalang nila ang nissan pathfinder with that pricing rather than the xtrail (14 June 2010)
  • neutral xtrail says sagaraemiru,,,ANG ISSUE MO AY HINDI ANG XTRAIL NA SASAKYAN KUNDI AND NISSAN COMPANY... ANO BANG NANGYARI SAYO? BAT ANG INIT MO SA NISSAN? ALAM MO BA NA MAGKAKAIBIGAN YANG MGA FRANCISERs/OWNERs NG MGA AUTOMAKERs DITO ATIN??? THINK IT OVER.... (14 June 2010)

  • neutral xtrail says buyer na sana says langyang ahente ng nissan yan, tumawag para sabihin na may bagong x-trail. next week daw pwede na mag book. all new daw at tignan ko daw sa net. Sa kwento niya sobrang ganda. Nung makita ko e parang wala naman binago, over priced pa! Sayang sa oras talaga mga ahente!....SANA PERSONAL KANG PUMASOK SA LOOB NG INTERNET THEN PASOK KA SA LOOB NG XTRAIL, HIPUIN MO APPEARANCE, (14 June 2010)
  • neutral xtrail says IKAW YATA ANG NALOKO DITO, BASAHIN MO KASI LAHAT NG STATEMENT PARA MAKUHA MO KUNG ANONG IBIG SABIHIN....ANO BA YAN!...Trail blaze says "Based on the comprehensive research among first-generation X-Trail owners, they loved the car so much they did not want to change a thing," - EH BA'T PA SILA GUMAWA NG BAGO!!?? ay luma pala ito muntik na ako ma loko... LOL!!HAHA... sabi nga nila kaya dami nangloloko kasi madami ding NAGPAPALOKO. HAHA! ( (14 June 2010)
  • neutral xtrail says WE HAVE TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE INTO OUR COMMENTS PLEASE....KAYO NAMAN DI NAMAN MAGBABA NG PRESYO YANG NISSAN NANG DAHIL LANG SA NEGATIVE COMMENTS DITO (14 June 2010)
  • Sean says Well, I like the New Nissan X-trail's Boxy design just like the OLD one. Its more of an evolution rather that revolution. Some-what safe way to redesign a best seller. Its Boxy Macho! and I liked it! Look at the CRV,RAV4, and the New Tucson, it looks like they've gone soccer mom soft... or just may be Metro sexual? The new x-rail looks spot on nice. Many People would complain about its price point being on the expensive side, because nissan decided to bring in only the 2.5L variant if you want the 2.0L you have to get the old one??? Come on Nissan! That's weak! don't listen to your accountants! Bring in the 2.0L as well... For Nissan to top this compact SUV,SAV(as BMW) likes to call it, Bring the M9R turbo diesel. That will completely change things for the X-trail and would swing sales Nissan's way. With the Diesel variant, it would knock the Koreans out of the Ball game. The only reason the Koreans are selling well these days are their diesel engines. No Japanese car company is offering diesel engines on the compact SUV segment. Fuel is expensive and its not about to get cheaper. Diesel is more efficient and pump price is at least 20% lower that gasoline. So I hope nissan would bring the New X-rail Diesel and 2.0L variants! (14 June 2010)
  • sagaraemiru says @ Sean You do get a point there. In this scenario, Toyota theoretically gets a beating here, since they have sworn not to sell diesels anymore (but then again, Filipinos are generally fools for anything Toyota, even if it's the most gas-guzzling petrol out there.). Unfortunately, it's the ridiculous import taxes that keeps us from enjoying diesels here (Nissan and all), as well as, once again, WORD OF MOUTH. (14 June 2010)
  • sachiel says The specs of the fuel filler door in other Nissan site is called Remote fuel filler release. Does anyone know what this means? I'm used to using the mechanical way of releasing it. We and the Australians are almost the same. They also like buying diesel cars and they have the diesel Xtrail. Sana nilabas na rin dito, or kung hindi kahit yun MR20 engine. (14 June 2010)
  • Sean says Grabe pangit talaga ng All new X-Trail. Guys looks like ito yung lumang model nila... lokohin ba naman tayo mga consumers... (14 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says @Neutral Xtrail madami mang awards yung Xtrail ay pangit padin sa mga mata namin. actually di naman ganun ka pangit eh NAKAKASAWA to be more exact kasi hawig na hawig niya yung luma. Ba't natatakot ka na wala kang mabenta? (14 June 2010)
  • sachiel says @Sean Na drive ko na yun bagong Xtrail so kung nagpaloko ka sorry na lng. And don't underestimate mga consumers kasi di sila kasing bobo ng ibang tao dito. (14 June 2010)
  • jheng says Haha tong si Neutral X-Trail sa sobrang nginig sa galit eh mali mali na yung pangalan niya, may neutral x-trail, neutral xtrail tapos naging neutral xrail nalang... hahaha may usok bang lumalabas sa ilong? LOL!! (14 June 2010)
  • ondoy says @neutral x-trail "PAG SINABI KO KAYA PANGIT TALAGA NG LAMBORGINI! ANO KAYA SASABIHIN MO?" WALA opinion mo yan eh! Parang opinion ko na SAKSAKAN ng PANGIT ng X-Trail, Makaluma sobra design... LOL! (15 June 2010)
  • neutral xtrail says LOKO MAN TO SI JHENG, WALANG MACOMMENT SA SUBJECT KUNDI ANG SPELLING... MAGCOMMENT KA NAMAN MAGANADA BA ANG XTRAIL O HINDI?....OKK? jheng says Haha tong si Neutral X-Trail sa sobrang nginig sa galit eh mali mali na yung pangalan niya, may neutral x-trail, neutral xtrail tapos naging neutral xrail nalang... hahaha may usok bang lumalabas sa ilong? LOL!! (15 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT says Sean ang mabentang variant ng Tucson ay yung GL gas variant na malakas sa gas din at mahina ang engine nyan at saka BUNGI-BUNGI ang features,grabe ISA LANG ANG AIRBAG AT WALA PANG ABS!.Di hamak na mas maganda ang new X-Trail dyan.Sachiel na-drive mo na diba yung 2.5 CVT 2WD variant nya! (15 June 2010)
  • Sean says Mukhang some one else is using my Name... baka Kapangalan ko lang... (15 June 2010)
  • leonard says @BOOGIECAT paano naging maganda eh kahawig sobra ng luma? (15 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT says leonard bago yan at mas malaki yan sa dating X-Trail.Di yan tulad ng RAV-4 na hawig din ng lumang RAV-4 pero OVERPRICED!Sulit talaga ang new X-Trail lalo na yung 2WD variant! (15 June 2010)
  • sachiel says Yup na drive ko na yun 4x2 variant. Maganda quality ng interior and mukhang di mabilis magasgas yun plastic this time. For me mas sulit yun 4x2 variant sa CX7 and Forester 2.0 if at the same price range. The price of 4x4 is good only for serious off-roaders IMO but it can be a good alternative to the Forester XT. (15 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT IS A MORON says BOOGIECAT, are you a retard? nilalangaw ang CR-V at inaalikabok? you are a dumb dipshit, go and eat a d*ck you faggot! (15 June 2010)
  • leonard says @BOOGIECAT - "Di yan tulad ng RAV-4 na hawig din ng lumang RAV-4 pero OVERPRICED" Maybe so pero di naman kasing kapereho ng X-Ttrail. At malaki sobra yung cult followers ng Toyota na almost kahit anong itsura ng auto ilabas nila kakagatin ng tao just becasue of the brand. Another example tignan mo yung CR-V di naman ganun ka ganda pero since sikat siya sa compact SUV variant dami padin bumili. NISSAN on the other have only a handful of followers compare to Toyota or Mitsubishi and have to make something so beautiful and attractive to the consumers that they will forgo their Toyota and Honda mentality. Nissan with their X-Trail can't win these people with just bigger body, more airbags or a soft ride since some of the other auto manufacturers have those already. What they need is a revolutionary design that appeals to the eyes of the majority (a good example the 2010 Chev Camaro, the saviour of Chevrolet). Sadly Nissan didn't realize this and went to their old X-Trail's body design. Same old design, High price and late release of this current X-Trail will kill it's sales. (15 June 2010)
  • leonard says says add on lang sa sinabi ko - "What they need is a revolutionary design that appeals to the eyes of the majority" ANOTHER example is Hyundai Tucson, that also made it's release earlier than the X-Trail. Not only Tucson but other brands as well. (15 June 2010)
  • perryglen flores says diesel version pls NISSAN (16 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT says sachiel maganda talaga ang new X-Trail.Overpriced parin ang RAV-4 kaya nilalangaw nayan.Marami talagang BLIND AT MORONIC na followers ang Toyota at Honda kaya lagi silang inuuto ng mga companies nayan!Okay naman ang design ng Nissan X-Trail,mas may sense pa kaysa sa bulldog crap ng Honda CRV!beautiful and attractive?Are you crazy eh ang pangit ng Montero Sport,YUCK!!Nawalan ng sense ang designs ng Mitsu nung nawala si Boulay! (16 June 2010)
  • BOOGIE abno CAT says Mas inuuto ng Nissan ang tao eh lumang design ba naman baguhin nila ng konti all new na? haha! sino uto uto? si BOOGIE abno CAT puros salita wala namang basehan. Matagal na siya nabara pansinin mo paulit ulit nalang ang sinasabi niya parang sirang plaka kasi wala na nga pang ibang masabe. Kayo BOOGIECAT tigil mo na yung KAABNORMALAN MO! LOL! (17 June 2010)
  • patt says I'm going to answer TopGear's question "TOO FAMILAR?" -> YES 100% (17 June 2010)
  • Miko says Old body design guys. Nice move NIssan, very dissapointing (17 June 2010)
  • Kenji says too boxy for me... for 1.5M Id rather buy a montero or a fortuner just add a bit more and you have a mid size SUV that can occomodate 7 passengers. add to that the "all new" Xtrail have a huge resemblance of the "very old" unit. Which if I bought a "NEW" one, many would think I'm still driving an "OLD" one. (17 June 2010)
  • Noy P says C'mon Nissan; No diesel variant? Then, no thank you. (Bought a Forester instead, though it is gasoline, but its performance - WOW!!!) (17 June 2010)
  • Randolph de Leon says i don't know why, but at a quick glance from afar, it looks like an old CR-V. the front-side view, the back-side view, the headlight silhuetees, the tail light location... (17 June 2010)
  • BOOGIECAT says Noy P nasa 1.4-1.8 Million Pesos naman ang Forester at malakas sa gas yan which is not really practical.Kenji eh bumili ka nyan,then again para ka ring bumili ng pickup nyan dahil di rin practical yan! (17 June 2010)
  • Juan Miguel Mendoza says @BOOGIECAT - mas ok naman yung Montero kaysa overpriced na x-Tail 1.5M. compact SUV LANG category niya, 5 seater lang di pa diesel! To TOP if off OLD BODY pa yung design! Ayusin mo perspective mo! kaya ka binabastos dito sa TG! (17 June 2010)
  • sachiel says May registration na pala hehe. Mukhang behave na lahat ng members ngayon. Close na ngayon price ng compact and mid size SUV so it's very difficult to choose. In the end it all comes down to the buyer's requirements, car-like or truck-like? (18 June 2010)
  • JMM says Kakasuka X-TRAIL luma... amoy lupa! (18 June 2010)
  • JMM says Sabagay si BOOGIECAT nakakasuka din at amoy lupa, kaya pala gandang ganda si abno sa Xtrail may something in common sila. (18 June 2010)
