Nissan has revealed the updated-for-2011 X-Trail overseas this week, bringing a number of modest styling and equipment updates.
Speaking with TMR today, Nissan Australia's Jeff Fisher confirmed that while an updated X-Trail is scheduled to debut at this year's Australian International Motor Show, specific details are still to be finalised.
Confirmed at least for the Japanese market, the updated 2011 X-Trail gets Nissan's six-speed automatic transmission - although it is unclear if this is the same six-speed already offered as an option with the Australian-delivered diesel X-Trail.
A new 'Advanced Hill Descent Control' system now features for 4WD variants. This system allows the driver to set a desired driving speed arbitrarily within the range from 4km/h to 15km/h, depending on the degree of hill grade.
Power figures for the 2.0 litre diesel also remain unchanged, developing 127kW and 360Nm of torque.
On the styling front, the updated X-Trail gets an updated front grille, bumper and headlights, while the rear end also gets a new bumper, along with new LED taillights. The new 'X-Tremer' variant brings its own bumper design and unique alloy wheels.
Inside, the 2011 X-Trail gets a revised instrument panel with larger meters, a new display, new colours and trims, and new standard features - although, again, Australian specification has yet to be revealed.
Among those new features are a glove compartment with heat-retention and refrigerator functions, a three-point seatbelt and headrest for the centre rear seat, and an intelligent key system and engine immobiliser.
Pricing and availability for Australia will be revealed closer to the 2010 Australian International Motor Show, which opens in Sydney on October 15.-themotorreport.
