    ByChathura Chanuka

    “I like the classy tough-gear feel!”” Is Nissan’s New xtrail Returning to Its Roots with a Square Body? Expectations for Turbo e-POWER!

    New Design Combines Toughness and Elegance
    　The Nissan XTRAIL has been fully remodeled, and the new model will be unveiled on July 20, 2022.

    New “”XTRAIL”” “”Gotsukei”” & “”Premium”” custom versions are also available!

    　The first-generation XTRAIL debuted in 2000 and was the spark that ignited the popularity of SUVs, winning the number one position in SUV popularity for 10 consecutive years.

    　Now in its fourth generation, the revamped XTRAIL inherits the tough-gear feel from the first generation, while adding a new level of refinement. The combination of the evolved e-POWER and VC Turbo with the e-4ORCE electric drive four-wheel control technology has transformed it into a completely new SUV.

    Nissan’s new XTRAIL combines toughness and quality

    　We conducted a survey on the new Nissan XTRAIL to find out what social networking users thought of the new XTRAIL.

    The question asked, “”What do you think of the design of the new XTRAIL, the fourth generation of the XTRAIL? 35.9% of respondents answered “”very good,”” 39.1% “”fair,”” 18.5% “”not so good,”” and 6.5% “”not good at all,”” indicating that 75% of the respondents had a good impression.

    　Comments from respondents who felt it was good included “”Rugged and cool,”” “”I think the V-motion grille looks cool blacked out,”” and “”It looks powerful and expresses the outdoor gear of the XTRAIL concept in a high-quality way.

    　In addition, the styling, which also gives a sense of quality, seems to have been well received, with comments such as, “”It’s stylish now,”” and “”It has the roughness of the first generation, but from some angles it also has a very good design with a touch of elegance.

    　Also, “”It looks like a combination of the first, second, and third generations,”” and “”I think it has returned to its roots. Some respondents felt that it incorporated design elements from previous generations of the Extrale, such as “”The interior level is remarkably good,”” “”The front looks like the first and second generation, while the rear resembles the third generation,”” and “”The angular design is reminiscent of its origins, and the atmosphere is good for urban use.

    　In contrast, some were somewhat critical, saying, “”I liked the concept of the first and second generation, so this one is too high quality.

    　The first and second generation models were well received for their rugged, square design like a mass of tough gear and the “”tool-like”” feeling of being able to be used with a gun, while the third generation was changed to a slightly rounded SUV style.

    　The 4th generation model has a more premium feel, which has been received favorably, while some have expressed nostalgia for the early XTRAIL.

    When asked, “”What do you expect from the new xtrail?”” (multiple choice), the most anticipated feature was “”the world’s first e-POWER x VC turbo that delivers power and quietness”” (76.1%), followed by “”the e-4ORCE that changes the concept of 4WD”” (58.7%).

    　The new XTRAIL’s engine is a combination of Nissan’s 1.5-liter VC Turbo, the world’s first variable compression ratio engine to be successfully mass-produced, and the second-generation e-POWER, which employs a high-power motor. The engine speed is suppressed from the normal range to acceleration, resulting in overwhelming quietness.

    　The 4WD model is also newly equipped with the “”e-4ORCE”” electric drive four-wheel control technology, which integrates electrification technology, 4WD control technology, and chassis control technology.

    　By integrally controlling the two high-output motors (front and rear) and the left and right brakes, the system optimizes the driving force of all four wheels to provide driving performance on snowy and mountainous roads, as well as driving enjoyment and comfort in any situation or road condition, including daily use such as urban driving.

    　Many respondents were interested in the new XTRAIL’s powertrain and four-wheel drive system, as it is an SUV that requires powerful driving performance.

    Will it sell like crazy! The new Nissan “X-Trail” has already received over 10,000 orders What is the “e-4ORCE” equipped car that accounts for 90%?

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Will it sell like hotcakes? Nissan’s New EXTRAIL Already Receiving Over 10,000 Orders, 90% of Which are e-4ORCE Vehicles

    90% of vehicles equipped with e-4ORCE
    　Nissan launched the all-new EXTRAIL on July 25, 2022. This is the first completely redesigned model in Japan in about 9 years, and the number of orders received during the first two weeks of sales (through August 7) reached a record 12,213 units. This record is the fastest in the history of the previous generation EXTRAIL and also the shortest time for an e-POWER vehicle (Nissan’s series-type hybrid vehicle) to exceed 10,000 units.

    Yonk is popular! Nissan’s new “”Extrale”” SUV with cool two-stage lights, actual car in 52 images.

    　Looking at the breakdown of orders, the e-4ORCE-equipped models are said to be very popular, but what are their features?

    It’s finally here! Nissan’s new EXTRAIL

    　The new Extrail measures 4660 mm (length) x 1840 mm (width) x 1720 mm (height) and is available in two drive systems, one being 2WD (FF) and the other being 4WD e-4ORCE.

    　Of the aforementioned orders received, the ratio of orders by drive type shows that FWD accounted for 10%, while 4WD accounted for 90%.

    　The Extrail’s character of having a tough gear feel can be seen in the ratio of orders by drive type.

    　So, what is the e-4ORCE system installed in the 4WD version?

    　e-4ORCE is an electric drive 4-wheel control technology that integrates Nissan’s electrification technology, 4WD control technology, and chassis control technology.

    　By integrally controlling the two high-output motors (front and rear) and the left and right brakes, the system is able to meticulously control the tires to maximize their frictional power.

    　This enables the vehicle to drive as the driver wishes, to drive stably regardless of road conditions, and to accelerate powerfully and smoothly. In addition, during deceleration in urban driving, the e-4ORCE provides a comfortable ride for all occupants by reducing the forward and backward sway of the head.

    　The e-4ORCE technology is still rarely used in new Nissan models, and the new EXTRAIL is a rare opportunity to experience it in a new SUV.

    　Now here is a quiz.

    　Which of the following Nissan SUVs was announced to be equipped with e-4ORCE prior to the new EXTRAIL?

    1] Dualis

    2] Aria

    3] KIX

    4] Renessa

    The correct answer is “”Aria”” in [2].

    　The correct answer is “”Aria”” in 【2】.

    　Aria is a Nissan crossover EV that was unveiled for the first time in the world in July 2020, with a body size of 4595 mm (length) x 1850 mm (width) x 1655 mm (height).”

    Why is Honda closing “Fitness”? What are the characteristics of the successor “Resurrection RS” .

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Why is Honda closing “”Fitness””? Refreshing sports specs disappear after 2 years…! What are the features of its successor “”RS of Resurrection””?

    Fourth-Generation Fit “”NESS”” Expresses a New Era of Sportiness
    　Honda made an advance public showing on August 5 of the all-new Fit, which is scheduled to undergo minor changes in the fall of 2022. In addition to design improvements, the addition of the new “”RS”” grade has been attracting a lot of attention.
    　
    　On the other hand, it was revealed that the sporty “”NESS”” grade system, one of the five grade systems in the lineup at the time of the 2020 debut, will be quietly discontinued with this mychange.

    The theme is “”Fitness! View 19 photos of Honda’s fourth-generation Fit NESS.

    Interior of Honda’s fourth-generation Fit NESS with lime green accent color [released in February 2020 (before minor changes)].

    　The Fit is a compact car from Honda, whose first generation model was introduced in 2001. The first generation model was a big hit right from its debut, supported by its practicality that combined a spacious minivan-like interior with sporty styling.

    　The well-received concept has been carried over in successive generations of models, and the current Fit, the fourth generation, was introduced in February 2020.

    　The fourth generation is characterized by the pursuit of “”emotional value,”” which cannot be expressed in numbers, and the embodiment of comfort that is close to the user, while maintaining the good qualities of the first generation.

    　The newly developed two-motor hybrid “”e:HEV”” improves fuel economy and ride comfort.

    　Another highlight of the model change was a new five-grade system.

    　Honda explains that the new system is not based on equipment differences, as in the past, but rather on variations to suit the user’s lifestyle.

    　The unique lineup includes the basic “”BASIC,”” the “”HOME,”” which offers enhanced quality with natural materials, the “”CROSSTAR,”” which has an exclusive SUV-style interior and exterior, and the “”LUXE,”” a luxury version with exclusive genuine leather seats and other features. The “”CROSSTAR”” model features an exclusive SUV-style interior and exterior.

    * * * * * *

    　The third-generation Fit had a sporty version, the “”RS,”” but the fifth model in the lineup, the “”NESS,”” is a new sporty version introduced for the fourth generation as a replacement for the “”RS.

    　Honda describes it as “”a nimble and fashionable type of fitness sport.

    　The fourth-generation Fit NESS targets “”people who want to be active every day. At the time of its announcement, Honda’s developers explained that they aimed to create a specification that is different from the conventional image of a sporty grade, such as black interior and aero parts.

    　On the exterior, a fresh image of accent two-tone color with lime green accent color on the roof and other parts of the body is available. Together with the dynamically designed 16-inch aluminum wheels, the new model expresses a new sporty image.

    　The interior also expresses a new sporty image through the use of hydrogen-repellent material for the seats and soft pad surface, and other interior and exterior features that express a sense of activity.

    　The fourth-generation Fit, which is available in five different lineups, got off to a strong start with orders exceeding 31,000 units as of March 16, approximately one month after its launch.

    　HOME accounted for 47% of the sales, or nearly half of the total. This was followed by BASIC with 19%, and CROSSTAR and LUXE with 14% each.

    　The highly anticipated new sporty model NESS, however, accounted for only 6% of the total, the smallest percentage among the series.

    * * * *

    　The website of the new Fit, which was previewed on August 5, 2022, introduces the new RS as well as the four types with improved design: BASIC, HOME, LUXE, and CROSSTAR, but there is no NESS in the website.

    　On the other hand, the new Fit RS, which was unveiled for the first time, has a black interior reminiscent of the previous model and a distinctly sporty look expressed through aero parts.

    　Even on social networking sites immediately after its unveiling, many people, especially Honda fans, seemed to welcome the new Fit RS.

    　The resurgence of the RS was a clear indication of the strong demand for the sportiness that users have been looking for.
