Nissan Motor Philippines is releasing a special edition of its X-Trail compact SUV. Here are the details from Nissan:

Nissan Motor Philippines, Inc. (NMPI) opens the new year with a wave of adventure and excitement, as it launches the limited edition of Nissan X-TRAIL CVT. Aptly called the “Tough Rider” edition, this superior SUV perfectly combines power, performance and economy for customers who look for ruggedness in their urban or rough road ride.

Offering excellent value for money for the consumers, the second-generation X-TRAIL CVT sports a new bold, tough and masculine design complemented by a suite of features that deliver power, versatility, and off-road capability. As one of the most popular vehicles in the compact SUV segment, the X-TRAIL CVT is versatile enough to adapt to all active lifestyles, offer the freedom to do what one wants and above all, is sheer fun to drive.

The Nissan X-TRAIL CVT “Tough Rider” Edition is packed with features to complete the genuinely tough look, including the front and rear bumper overrider and micro-angle back sensor.

“We’ve designed the Nissan X-TRAIL CVT ‘Tough Rider’ Edition to stimulate the Filipino motorists’ spirit of adventure,” said NMPI President and CEO Allen Chen. “It is an authentic real SUV that looks tough and is built to handle even the worst elements. With its unbeatable package of style, power and performance with no compromise on comfort and safety, this limited edition of the iconic SUV will allow thrill-seeking travelers to simply pack up their things and go literally anywhere.”

The Nissan X-TRAIL CVT “Tough Rider” Edition is guaranteed to attract customers with its suggested retail price of PhP1,570,000 for the 4WD variant and PhP1,370,000 for the 2WD.

X-TRAIL’s Signature Tough Exterior
Inspired by the designs of the toughest and authentic SUV in Nissan’s product line-up, the X-TRAIL CVT Tough Rider Edition arrives with a bold exterior design that announces sophisticated ruggedness, built to withstand the most active type of lifestyles.

The X-TRAIL CVT Tough Rider Edition comes with a new front bumper overrider made from high quality chrome-finished material that enhances the SUV’s intimidating and aggressive look. Complementing the vehicle’s chrome-finished grille and moldings, this feature also protects the front bumper from scratches, chips, dents and other damages. What’s more, the X-TRAIL CVT Tough Rider Edition sports a rear bumper overrider that prevents scratches, scuffs and abrasive marking on the top of the rear bumper.

Tough but not compromising safety, this variant also comes with a micro-angle back sensor that alerts the driver if someone or something is behind the vehicle as it backs up. With a quick response time, this sensor detects obstacles up to 5.5 feet.

Exuding masculinity, the vehicle’s exterior also features an inclined hood design, three-dimensional headlights, styled rear pillars with an “X” motial, three-dimensional rear combination lamps, fog lamps, integrated Hyper Roof Rail and High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps.

The Nissan X-TRAIL CVT “Tough Rider” Edition still features the exceptional Xtronic CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) that guarantees drivers a smooth driving experience. Whether for city driving or on a challenging terrain, the Xtronic CVT provides smooth gear change to suit customers’ needs for more natural, powerful sensation of acceleration, which means lesser fuel consumption.

Powered by QR25DE in 2.5-litre engine displacement, the all-new X-TRAIL is built to provide high engine torque and output. This gutsy QR engine with twin overhead camshafts delivers peak performance of 170 hp of power and maximum torque of 230Nm.

The all-new X-TRAIL utilizes an All mode 4×4 electronically-controlled 4WD system and a Mode control dial ideal in selecting driving mode at any speed or in any driving condition. It also features a Cruise Control function which allows the driver to dictate the vehicle speed.

Inside, the X-TRAIL CVT welcomes you with luxurious design, quality materials and comfortable ergonomics. Its versatile seat arrangements, with 6-way power seats, allow customers to have more freedom and cargo needs. The X-TRAIL CVT also features amazing interior amenities – trunk drawer, full-flat rear seats or all-mode configuration seats, full-automatic climate control air-conditioning with rear ventilation, fine vision meter with drive computer display and washable luggage board

This SUV is also packed with safety features that include six Airbags, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps for better intensity and longer illumination when driving in the dark, and a Zone body concept for additional protection in case of frontal crash.

Only a limited number of the Nissan X-TRAIL CVT “Tough Rider” Edition units are being sold at all Nissan dealerships nationwide, so don’t get left behind – rush to the nearest dealership now and own this must-have SUV.
