The Nissan X-Trail N-Trek joins the X-Trail range, offering tweaks and updates to make it suitable for ‘Adventurous’ families.
But despite its proper family SUV vibe, the X-Trail isn’t really built to go off-road or tackle the muddy stuff (although when we reviewed the previous X-Trail we found it managed green laning quite well), so Nissan has decided that what the X-Trail really needs is a rufty-tufty model for ‘Adventurous’ families. Say hello to the new Nissan X-Trail N-Trek.
Sitting in between the X-Trail N-Connecta and Tekna models, the N-Trek comes with skid plates front and back, new 18″ alloys, integrated fogs, gloss black door mirrors and dark roof rails.
Inside – which comes in both five-seat and seven-seat configurations – you get water-resistant, wipe-clean seats, perfect says Nissan if you’ve been “trail running, mountain biking or just splashing in muddy puddles with the kids”, rubber floor mats and a reversible boot liner.
Available with the existing e-4orce and e-Power powertrains with a 1.5-litre three-pot engine to power the X-Trail’s battery which powers the motor, with the e-Power driving just one axle and the e-4orce both.
Nissan’s Arnaud Charpentier said:
We started the development of the X-Trail N-Trek with the simple motto: Let’s Get Dirty. It captures the spirit of a core group of X-Trail customers who embrace adventure, the outdoors and want to use their vehicle to enjoy time and adventures together.
Don’t expect Land Rover off-road levels of ability for the X-Trail N-Trek, but in the real world it does offer exactly what a lot of families need.
No prices yet, but expect it to start at around £40k.

Too expensive
