7 Things The India-Spec 2024 Nissan X-Trail Misses Out On Compared to The Global-Spec Version

The India-spec X-Trail misses out on certain key features offered by the global-spec model like a 12.3-inch touchscreen and ventilated front seats

The Nissan X-Trail nameplate has made a comeback in India after a decade, now in its fourth-generation avatar, priced at Rs 49.92 lakh (introductory ex-showroom pan-India). While the Indian model gets the basics right, it lacks several premium features found in the global version. Here's a look at what the India-spec X-Trail is missing compared to its global counterpart:

12.3-inch Touchscreen

The global-spec Nissan X-Trail features a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while the Indian model comes with a smaller 8-inch unit. This 8-inch screen, which resembles the one in the Nissan Kicks from five years ago, looks dated and lacks many of the advanced connected car features found in the global version, though it does offer wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Despite this, both versions share the same 12.3-inch fully digital driver's display.

Heads-up Display

The globally sold Nissan X-Trail has a coloured heads-up display showing important information like speed and navigation. However, this feature is missing in the Indian model.

ADAS

The global model gets a comprehensive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) suite with features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. Such ADAS features are not available in the India-spec model.

E-power Engine And AWD Drivetrain

The global model has three engine options on offer, the specifications of which are as follows:

*FWD = Front-wheel-drive; AWD = All-wheel-drive

The India-spec model is only offered with a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with a front-wheel drive setup, making it less versatile for different terrains.

10-speaker Bose Sound System

The India-spec X-Trail comes with a 6-speaker sound system, while the global model has a more premium 10-speaker Bose sound system.

Leather Seat Upholstery

The global-spec Nissan X-Trail gets a more premium-feeling leather upholstery on the seats, enhancing the luxury quotient inside. However, in the India-spec model, the seats come with fabric upholstery, and only the steering wheel and some dashboard bits feature a leather finish. 

Electrically Adjustable And Ventilated Front Seats

The global Nissan X-Trail comes with electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats, enhancing comfort. In contrast, the India-spec model features only manually adjustable seats without ventilation, which can affect comfort, particularly in India's hot climate.
