“New XTRAIL with a luxurious sofa! Tan color and luxury feel… What happened to the comfort of the 3rd row seat car?

The New XTRAIL has an amazing luxury feel…but what happened to the 3-row seat cars?
　The new Nissan Extrail, which went on sale on July 25, 2022, has undergone a full model change to its fourth generation and has evolved in many areas.
　
　Some grades of the new Nissan XTRAIL continue to offer “”3-row seat vehicles,”” but what about their comfortability?

This looks like a “”luxury sofa””! The new XTRAIL, now a luxury SUV! See the interior and exterior in the real car!
The new XTRAIL has a more luxurious and comfortable feel, but… how comfortable are the three-row seats that continue to be used from the previous generation?

　The XTRAIL is a global model that has sold more than 6.3 million units since its first generation (2000), second generation (2007), and third generation (2013).

　The exterior of the new model features a square body that successfully combines the toughness of the first and second generations with the stylishness of the third generation.

　Compared to the previous generation, the body size is 4660 mm (-30) in length × 1840 mm (+20) in width × 1720 mm (-20) in height, and the wheelbase is almost the same at 2705 mm (±0).

　In addition, the interior space comfort has been further evolved. In particular, the rear seat packaging has been optimized and thin seats have been adopted to increase head and knee room.

　In addition, a new Nissan-developed “”TailorFit”” material is used for the higher grade seats, and tan-colored “”Nappa leather”” is available as an option. This is a high-grade genuine leather tanned with chrome and characterized by its suppleness and soft touch.

　The ease of getting in and out of the car has been improved with wider door openings and a rear seat sliding mechanism (260 mm, up 20 mm from the previous generation), which also enhances comfort.

　In this context, the previous generation’s “”3-row seat vehicle”” was available in some grades, with dimensions of 2555 mm (interior length) x 1535 mm (interior width) x 1220 mm (interior height) to 1270 mm (interior height).

　In more detail, the previous generation (third-row seat vehicle) first-, second-, and third-row seat lengths respectively are as follows: first row (495mm), second row (480mm for left and right seats/430mm for center seat), and third row (440mm).

　In contrast, the interior dimensions of the new EXTRAIL (third-row seat model) are 2530mm-2545mm interior length x 1540mm interior width x 1255mm interior height.

　The respective seat lengths of the first, second, and third rows were slightly shorter: first row (490.7 mm), second row (459 mm for left and right seats/427 mm for center seat), and third row (411 mm).

　Comparing the two seats, I did not notice any significant difference, and I could feel the roominess of the expanded sliding mechanism of the second-row seat. (If we put aside the comfortability of the second row).

　In fact, the staff at the Nissan dealership explained that the third-row seat in the previous generation model was “”for emergencies only, and is only suitable for a child to sit in.

　On the other hand, the aforementioned staff member explained that “”even in the new Extrail, we cannot say that the third-row seats are significantly more comfortable. The third-row seats have a strong emergency element, so they are designed for ‘situations where relatives come over and use it a few times a year’.

　The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, a sibling to the Outlander, also offers a third-row seat, but the seat shape and cushion material differ in terms of comfort.

* * * *

　The new EXTRAIL’s three-row seating is only available in the “”X e-4ORCE,”” but it seems that most of the display and test-drive vehicles actually placed at dealerships are the second row, so users who actually want to see a vehicle with a third-row seat should check with a nearby store.”

“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.
