In terms of power output, the X-Trail is offered with a turbo-petrol engine, a strong hybrid engine and a naturally aspirated engine. It is sold with a two-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive system. Nissan has not announced which powertrain will come to the Indian market. However, it could be the hybrid powertrain considering other manufacturers have also started introducing hybrid engines in the Indian market. The hybrid engine also means that the X-Trail could have a good fuel efficiency than its rivals.
The X-Trail is expected to be launched via a CBU or Completely Built Unit in the Indian market. This means it could be priced slightly on the higher side. It will be going against Volkswagen Tiguan, Citroen C5 Aircross, Toyota Fortuner and Hyundai Tucson.
