• 458 says yung mga fan ng mitsu and toyo dyan tama na ang bangayan di na magandang tignan.mgkita-kita na nalang kayo at mgpitikan ng tenga. back to the topic, medyo mas ok pa rin yung look first gen na x-trail kesa dito. (16 February 2010)
• CL says buti nga naglabas na cla miski dpt nung 2007 pa atlis nabago ng konti ^_^ wag nyu naman sabihin na @kristian tsk tsk tsk......wag ka naman ganyan un lng peace ^_^ (16 February 2010)
• FR says haha and you thought test mules are only available in other countries :D (16 February 2010)
• Dom says I saw one of those along Paseo de Roxas (16 February 2010)
• maranello_5775 says I've already seen a sample of that xtrail last year...with expat plates...atleast it arrive here despite being so tardy (16 February 2010)
• tito boy says even more copy-paste than the previous and current altis. this looks almost exactly like the previous gen. magdedesign na nga lang ng bago, di ba ginawa ng lubusan. (16 February 2010)
• suv says archaic pa rin design ng x-trail, sana they get rid of ala-CRV na rear lights, tucson and RVR(when it's released) siguro ang babandera sa 2010 (17 February 2010)
• swerhin says @hmm... what is your respectable ride? (17 February 2010)
• Monty_Python says Hope they release the diesel version... This one is slightly larger than the 1st gen and has better dashboard design... Nissan will come out with a BANG if they release the New Patrol and new Xtrail at the same time this year (Wishful thinking).. Will this be a release of UMC or NMPI? The current Xtrail is NMPI release (17 February 2010)
• harry says panget paren., (17 February 2010)
• johnny says still i love the escape.. (17 February 2010)
• erningm says Hope that the new x-trail will have a concealed muffler. Yung ganda ng body ng old x-trail ay nasira dahil sa nakalawit na muffler - parang may luslos(hernia). (17 February 2010)
• Bob says parang lumang hyundai tucson pa rin... sana modern na gawin nila... pa-urong ata ang design ng nissan... ang maganda lang sa kanila yung 370Z at GT-R... The new nissan x-trail is still rubbish... boxy pa rin masyado ang design. (17 February 2010)
• hmm says @swerhin if you read my previous post you'll have the answer... kung mitsu fanatic ka i'm sorry but i hate mitsucrap motors.... (17 February 2010)
• Nissan Middle East says Guys, the new x-trail was launch in the middle east and african region late 2008. It is basically a major facelift. The engine design remains the same for the gas version, but the power train has been enhanced - equipped with CVT and Tiptronic. The 4WD version is equipped with i-mode (intelligent mode) which so far a unique technology among 4WD SUVs. (17 February 2010)
• el tomador says ang panget.. sana palitan na ng nissan ang mga designer nila. ipirate nla ung sa mitsu dhl ang lulupit ng porma ng sskyan.. lupeet ng montero barakong barako ang porma! (17 February 2010)
• mang iinom says @el tomador magkakasundo tayo! ang gwapo nga ng montero kahit stock lang... at ang tulin hindi makaabot ang fortuner.. kampai!!! cheers.. (17 February 2010)
• CL says umm let me just say this to you guys sabi ndi ko naman kayu inaaway or something but in the looks department talo ang monty peru talo naman ang fort sa comfort at interior kaya pantay lng cla at mas mabilis ang fort kesa sa monty promise ko yan ^_^...peace (17 February 2010)
• BOOGIECAT says The Montero Sport looks like an f*gly pickup truck! (17 February 2010)
• suv says @CL, subjective ang pagtingin sa aesthetics, syempre pag toyotics ang magsabi alang tatalo sa fortuner, sa ride comfort, sasabihin ng toyotics tolerable naman ang sa fort dahil binago na raw noong facelift(gulong lang naman at di ang suspension hehe)pero masuka-suka na yun ha ganda pa rin ng ride hehe, sa arangkada mas mabilis ang fortuner pero sa full speed ay iiwanan naman ng monty ang fortuner..peace! (17 February 2010)
• suv says by the way, naipasok na naman ang fortuner-montero rivalry dito eh nissan x-trail ang topic, may ulot dito eh, di naman papayag kameng mitsutics na apihin ang monty namin (17 February 2010)
• goldcrow says The new x-trail is nice if it had a diesel powerplant as an option. The boxy design is appealing for some (including me) since they last longer than the curvy stylish cues which wear off easily. Btw, to the mitsubishi fanboys, please do not try to include your montero in all the topics that you can do so, it makes you look st*p*d. Keep it on topic please. (17 February 2010)
• CL says @suv ok ok bahala ka kung tama ka edi tama ka ^_^ peace.... ayuku na dagdagan at FYI ndi nako toyota fan ngayun ^_^ peace.... atlis ndi ko sinabihan ng *gly monty mo tignan mo c boogiecat...... (17 February 2010)
• Bob says Kaya ganun yung ride ng fortuner dahil sa ride height nya... kahit bmw x6 ganun din ang problema. check nyo yung review ng fifth gear. BTW onti lang ang lamang ng monty nyo sa bagong x-trail... (17 February 2010)
• hmm says @goldcrow your right about boxy design...they're selling like hot potatoes here..like Scion Xb,kia soul, honda element to name a few...eh mukha naman kahon na nilagyan lang ng gulong...(maybe looks can be decieving). (18 February 2010)
• hmm says hopefully me infinity din yan model na yan, kc yun last na x-trail katulad ng infinity..madami din na nissan models na same ng infinity..palit ka lang ng emblem taas na ng value ng car mo...hahaha.lol (18 February 2010)
• hmm says @CL pano bayan sabi ko naman sayo ipapasok at ipapasok ng mga mitsucrap fanatic ang monty...basta maisingit lang anu ba yun..cheap!!!lol (18 February 2010)
• kevinzi says The incoming Nissan Xtrail has been over due. The 2nd Generation Xtrail is suppose to challenge the 2nd Generation Mitsubishi Outlander which lastly has been facelifted with a Lancer EX front. (18 February 2010)
• rdjl_13 says magcocomment lang ako about sa fortuner-montero. @suv, sure ka bang mas mabilis ang monty pag full speed. i disagree. kahit mas malakas ung makina ng monty ng ".2" eh parehas lang sila ng top speed. haha. :)) (18 February 2010)
• Hoon Hye Shin says yes it really is the new model x-trail it's available now at japan (18 February 2010)
• suv says @rdjl_13, oo mas mabilis ang montero sa experience ko,pinakain ng alabok ng monterong sinakyan ko ang mga fortuner (4 ata yun) na inovertake sa Calabarzon (Batangas Hiway) (18 February 2010)
• suv says bakit kaya maraming gigil na gigil sa monty lalo na si hmm, iba na talaga ang sikat maraming galit, crab mentality ba ang tawag dyan? (18 February 2010)
• goldcrow says @hmm, I like the looks of the xB and the Soul and this X-trail is quite a looker but it'd probably look better in person. Looks like designs from old are making a comeback. Hopefully Nissan brings in the Patrol at the same time and maybe even surprise us with the Xterra and the Pathfinder (wishful thinking) to kick the crap out of both the montero and fortuner. (18 February 2010)
• kamote says parang dati din. medyo manas lang konti. kung may crdi version at reasonble ang tag price. pwede na din. (18 February 2010)
• hate mitsucrap motors says @suv pasensya na po...i just really hate mitsucrap motors(its too rubbish for me)..mga mitsufanatic maisingit lang ang monty or mitsucrap nila kahit d naman yun ang topic (isn't that pathetic?)... kung yan ang definition mo ng kasikatan good luck too you...pag pasensyahan muna ko kung ang tingin ko sa pinakamamahal nyong mitsucrap eh BASURA(kung crab mentality man ang tingin mo dun eh d kita masisisi..ang sakin lang sana wag imikot ang mundo sa mitsucrap lang...just remember talo ng hyundai-kia motors ang mitsucrap nyo globally...hindi ka ba nagtataka tagal na ng mitsucrap mo sa industry till now hindi maka compete globaly? sasabihin mo na naman nasa pinas ka at pareparehas tayong pango...i don't blame you kung ganyan ang thinking mo...good luck nalang sa pinaka mamahal nyong mitsucrap...peace! (19 February 2010)
• hate mitsucrap motors says @goldcrow baka me magalit satin nyan malaman nila na ang scion gawa ng toyota.. anyway, parang kakatakot ata eh drive yun mga box design lalo na sa gusty winds tas takbo mo mga 70miles(i might be wrong). sus pag nakita nanaman ng mga mitsufanatic yun bagong patrol sasabihin nanaman yan ala sinabi yun sa pajero or monty nila...haynaku sukang suka nako...peace! (19 February 2010)
• zoom8888 says it looks like a junk.... no offense to the manufacturer (19 February 2010)
• jmg_32188 says tagal na nito sa europe.. the first gen looks better than this one.. pero at least binago hehe.. (19 February 2010)
• Clea Legarda says please don't interrupt the subject the subject is the nissan X-trail not the Montero Sport and the Fortuner @suv baka naman ndi nakikipag unahan sayu ung fortuner @hate mitsu crap and hmm dba iisa lng kayu wag mu naman pakalait ang mitsu @suv ulet wag muna ipapasok ulit ung topic ng montero at fortuner rin kasi pumapanget ng pumapanget ung pinagcocomment nyu @el matador ikaw lahat ng nagcmula ehh wag mu nga isasama ung rivalry ng montero at fortuner nagkakagulo lng kung anu mas maganda ehh...... un lng peace ^_^ wag nyu na isiksik ung Fortuner at Montero kung hindi naman un ang topic ok? ok ba? ........peace ^_^ (19 February 2010)
• suv says sori po mam Clea Legarda (kayo po ba si CL)may gusto lang kaseng pagsabungin ang mga fanatics kaya isinisingit ang mga pampainit na topic, anyhow back to thread topic, looks like every car manufacturer is introducing their new models one after the other, that means car industry is alive and kicking and the buyers are the one given the benefits kaya lang...pag nakabili na sila and then may lumabas na mas gusto nila the sayannnnnng!! (19 February 2010)
• CL says anung mam nyek! d pa ako matanda 17 palang aku XD hehehehe back to the topic sana ginawa nila ung katulad ng styling ng bagong patrol astig ung bagong patrol ngayun ^_^ wag nyu akong tatawaging mam please, lng hehehe XD d pa ako matanda hehehehehe ^_^ (19 February 2010)
• zacch says no offense maganda sana intensyon ng nissan pero they cant compete sa outlander, cr-v, rav4,tucson, parang captiva at x-trail ay nag aagawan sa 5th spot (19 February 2010)
• suv says tumpak, kumbaga mahirap nang humabol sa karera kung fully energized na ang frontrunners at ngayon pa lang magpapalakas ang X-Trail, maglabas sila ng diesel variants baka sakali (20 February 2010)
• CL says wag nyu kalimutan ung tatlong ito escape,CX7 at ang soul phaseout na ba ang tribute at sportage? ay etu papala Forester........ (20 February 2010)
• Roy Eusebio says bingo exclusively na-shoot nyo ung test drive ng X-Trail!! (20 February 2010)
• Juan Miguel Reantaso Mendoza says i'm back. hehehehehehe. nakita ko rin yan last weekend sa nlex.dati pa yang X-trail na yan pero ngayon lang ipapadala sa philippines.grabe! (22 February 2010)

• CL says woah........................................ (24 February 2010)
• SUV_Lover says Hi guys, I am not an enthusiast, or a fanatic, I would like to comment to the previews thread. Basically, you cannot compare Montero to CRV, XTRAIL not Escape... its pretty basic, First, its platform is different, its Commercial vehicle, its longer, kaya kahit anong gawin mo, the ride is bad. Please compete montero to Fortuner.... (obviously). Well for Xtrail it competes with CRV. Tucson and Escape are lower kind of SUV, meaning sa mga taong nagtitipid pero gusto mag-karoon ng SUV. (25 February 2010)
• Raymond Tribdino says The new X-TRAIL may have the same mold as the current one but I guarantee everyone with the i-CVT transmission and the new generation TR engines, the performance will be extremely satisfying. Don't blame NMPI for not launching it earlier, it is the fault of global Nissan policy. If NMPI had it their way this car would have been launched 6 months after the Japan launch in 2007. It may not beat the Montero head on (no diesel engine, total body size...) but the X-TRAIL will sure give every SUV in its category a run for its money. (26 February 2010)
• krzcuevas says next gen na ba yan, parang back to decade yan eh, di pa rin yan uubra sa tucson, crv, escape kahit sa rav4........ unless 700k lang presyo nyan.wahahahaha (02 March 2010)
• mawi. . . says wew, nde bebenta i2ng nissan xtrail. . .mgigng kgya cguro 2 nung honda hrv...ung suv n nung 2002 lng lumbas taz d bumenta kya nagfacout agd, pngitang pngita naman n no match yn s ibng brands. . . (03 March 2010)
• Patrick says Nice (16 March 2010)
• cherry pie says to Raymond Tribdino, under power ang new trail mo with 2.9 and i-CVT. mas powerful pa nga yung 2.5L na lumang X-trail nyo eh. At saka wag mo na depensahan ang NMPI kung bakit ngayon lang ilalabas ang X-Trail kasi alam naman natin na marami pa kayong stock na lumang X-trail at kung maaga nyo ilalabas ang bagong x-trail e di madadagdagan lalo ang inventory nyo hehehe. Nagtataka lang ako bakit denedepensahan mo pa ang NMPI at bagong X-trail e ikaw nga mismo nag resign ka sa NMPI at lumipat sa CHERRY hehehehe. Kung may tiwala ka sa NMPI at sa produkto ng NMPI e bakit ka umalis brother???? (07 April 2010)
• may buhok says HOY JUAN MIGUEL MENDOZA tantanan mo si CL!!!! Ungas ka pala eh. Kung grade six ka pa lang e wala ka pang pakialam sa mga sasakyan kasi yung pagpapatule muna ang aasukasuhin mo at kuntento ka na sa bisikleta. Uutuin mo pa lahat ng readers eh. Bubulahin mo pa si CL e ang tanda tanda mo na. Sabihin mo grade 6 lang natapos mo, meron ka pang still in grade 6 na nalalaman!!! nagpapatawa hindi naman kalbo BUWISIITTTTT!!!! (07 April 2010)
• hopeless says I've been seeing this "testdrive" vehicle roving around Districts Three and Four of Laguna these past few weeks. (08 April 2010)
• cars says hay salamat lalakas na benta ng nmpi at umc, sales at service god bless NISSAN marami kayo matutulungan (10 May 2010)
• Oscar Olivier J. Veo says Ayos lang ang porma kaso ang tanong... When they will introduced the new pathfinder?, I hope na Maganda ang kalalabasan niyang X-Trail kala ko his trail are ending na eh.. More power to your magazine, Hi botchi! (22 May 2010)
• fortis says I don't know if its just me or what. In my opinion the design is a bit dated. (22 May 2010)
