The front fascia has got unique honeycomb designed front grille that is designed with twin chrome finished vertical slats, it is placed with centrally located Nissan logo. The bold front nose sports aggressive Bi-Xenon headlamps and 3D shaped fog lamp slots. The overall appearance of the front side of the New Nissan X Trail is distinctive from others in the race. The rear side view of the SUV is dominated with large windows and massive wheelarches. The rear side of the SUV is as aggressive as the frontal one that is contributed by the vertically stacked bright tail lamps and wider rear windshield.

The inside view of the New Nissan X Trail is eye-catching and lovable at first sight. And why not, the SUV has been equipped with funky instrument panel now placed conventionally; centre console consists of AC control and music system that further enhances the dashboard looks.
