Nissan celebrates the 25th anniversary of the X-TRAIL, one of the brand's most significant models and a key player in the global evolution of the SUV segment. Since its launch in 2001, the X-TRAIL has sold over 8 million units, making it Nissan's best-selling model of all time.
Across four generations, the X-TRAIL has adapted to changing customer needs by introducing innovative solutions in design, all-wheel-drive technology, and electrification. Today, this journey reaches a new milestone with the new N-TREK trim—the sportiest version in the lineup.
Nissan launched the X-TRAIL in 2001 with the aim of combining the practicality and comfort of a sedan with the ruggedness of an off-roader. This innovative formula helped establish the family crossover, anticipating the evolution of a segment destined to become central to the automotive market. Over four generations, the X-TRAIL has progressively expanded its role, keeping pace with the changing mobility needs of families while emphasizing innovation, functionality, and comfort.
The story of the X-TRAIL reflects the evolution of Nissan's all-wheel-drive technologies, born from extensive experience in the 4x4 sector.
From the traditional 4WD systems of the 1990s and the ALL MODE 4x4 technology to the current e-4ORCE system, Nissan has developed solutions designed to enhance control, safety, and driving comfort across various driving conditions. Today, e-4ORCE represents the pinnacle of this technological journey, integrating electric torque and braking management to deliver superior dynamic precision and vehicle stability.
