India-Spec Nissan X-Trail Unveiled Ahead Of Launch

The 2024 Nissan X-Trail has officially been unveiled in India, ahead of its launch. The mid-size SUV returns to India after a long hiatus of 10 years, this time in its fourth generation. Similar to its first innings, this time too the SUV will be sold in India as a completely built-up (CBU) unit, which means we can expect premium pricing. With the X-Trail, Nissan India will finally be able to add another product to its line-up, which for the past year only included the Magnite subcompact SUV.
