“NISSAN XTRAIL New Model] Maximum Output is the Same, FWD and e-4ORCE…Differences are Transient Characteristics2022/7/27 (Wed) 08:45
Nissan XTRAIL new model

Nissan’s fourth-generation XTRAIL SUV was unveiled on July 20. The powertrain is the series hybrid “”e-POWER”” for all models, and two drive systems are available: FWD (front-wheel drive) and e-4ORCE (electric AWD).

The electric motor for driving the front axle is the same for FWD and AWD. The specifications are maximum output of 150 kW (204 ps) and maximum torque of 330 Nm (33.6 kgm). The AWD model is equipped with another electric motor at the rear axle with maximum output of 100 kW (136 ps) and maximum torque of 195 Nm (19.9 kgm).

The maximum system output for both FWD and AWD is 150 kW, but even with multiple large electric motors, the actual output is not simply the sum of the output of the front and rear electric motors, since the actual output is limited only by the power supply capacity of the generator and battery operated by the internal combustion engine.

However, this does not mean that the two motors have the same dynamic performance. According to Nissan’s technical explanatory materials, the AWD system has more driving force than the FWD system from a standstill to around 70 km/h. The two systems are not equal in terms of driving force until 70 km/h. It is only above 70 km/h that the two are equal. Although AWD weighs 100 kg more than FWD, the data showed that AWD was considerably superior not only in driving force but also in acceleration G-force.

I have experienced that even if the apparent maximum output is the same, the difference in transient characteristics leading up to the maximum output makes a big difference in dynamic performance in the e-4WD subcompact car “”Note””. This is not a time for a car with a nominal maximum output of only 85 kW (116 ps) on the train. Like the Extrale, the Note is equipped with a 50kW (68ps) motor on the rear axle in addition to the 85kW motor on the front axle, so I imagined that the peak value of power generated by the engine and supplied by the battery might be higher than that of FWD, but the peak value was the same and only the transient characteristics were different. However, I was told that the peak values are the same and only the transient characteristics are different.

If the same logic is applied to the Extrail, then the e-4ORCE AWD model is definitely the one with higher expectations in terms of dynamic performance. However, unlike the Note, the FWD of the Extrail has a lower geared final reduction ratio for the motor compared to the AWD, so the difference between the two may not be as great as in the Note. It would be a good idea to compare the two vehicles during the test drive to see the difference.”

“New Nissan xtrale: VC turbo engine for power generation…why turbo? The answer Tuesday, July 26, 2022, 5:47 p.m.

New Nissan xtrale New Nissan Extrale: VC Turbo Engine New Nissan xtrale: VC
The midsize SUV “”xtrail”” was unveiled by Nissan Motor Co. on July 20. All grades of the XTRAIL are equipped with the series hybrid “”e-POWER”” system, which uses the internal combustion engine only for power generation, and the engine for power generation is Nissan’s new-generation power unit “”VC Turbo””, which is being introduced for the first time in Japan.

VC stands for Valuable (variable) Compression. The VC Turbo engine has a linkage between the crankshaft and connecting rod, which allows the cylinder’s internal stroke to be raised or lowered. The VC turbo engine has a linkage between the crankshaft and connecting rod, which allows the compression ratio to be changed by raising or lowering the stroke range inside the cylinder. The higher the stroke range, the smaller the volume of the remaining combustion chamber, which in turn increases the compression ratio.

Although the details of the control have not been made public, 14:1 is a high compression ratio, close to the limit of gasoline engines, and is considered to be a Miller cycle operation (the expansion ratio is greater than the effective compression ratio by limiting the intake time to reduce pumping loss while increasing the power conversion efficiency of the explosion pressure). This is believed to be a Miller cycle operation. At a compression ratio of 12:1 or less, the theoretical air-fuel ratio of gasoline 1:air 14.6 is used, and at a compression ratio of 10:1 or less, turbocharging is probably used to bring the turbocharger to positive pressure. In layman’s terms, it is an engine that combines high thermal efficiency in cruise and gentle acceleration with high power per displacement.

The VC turbocharged engine with this mechanism, in fact, has already stepped on the history of more than 4 years. The first appearance of the KR20DDET was in the Q50 SUV from Infiniti, a luxury car sub-brand that debuted in 2018. It is a turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2 liters and two fuel injection systems, port injection and direct injection, with a maximum output of 200 kW (272 ps). Later in 2021, the KR15DDT, a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged engine with one cylinder dropped, will debut to replace the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine in the North American version of the Extrale, the Rogue. Maximum output is 150 kW (204 ps) .

The engine for the new Extrail’s e-POWER is a detuned version of the latter 1.5-liter VC turbo with an emphasis on thermal efficiency. Maximum output is 106kW (144ps) and maximum torque 250Nm (25.5kgm). However, if the engine was to be used exclusively for power generation, it could have been combined with an engine fixed to a high-compression, Miller cycle with an emphasis on thermal efficiency. At the new product presentation to the press, reporters naturally asked why a turbocharged engine was chosen.

The answer was to improve quietness. When accelerating beyond the combined output of the battery and the 1.5-liter Miller cycle, the engine is operated with low compression and high boost pressure to keep the engine speed low and quiet. Nissan has converted all of its current “”Note”” models to series hybrids, and even though it is not the top runner in terms of fuel economy, it is the top selling hybrid model, if hybrid models are counted, due to the favorable EV driving experience provided by its larger capacity battery than its rivals. Based on this successful experience, it is assumed that the company prioritized enhancing overall product appeal rather than aiming for the limit of fuel efficiency.

How will the combination of the VC Turbo and e-POWER perform? We look forward to the test drive.

“Finally! Nissan’s new XTRAIL introduction in Japan is on schedule! What is the truth behind the 2-year delay from its US sibling?

From the beginning, they were working on a plan to release it in July 2022!
When will the new Nissan Extrail go on sale?

　Many of those who have been waiting for the arrival of the new Extrail may have had such feelings.

New XTRAIL with wild black V-motion! NISMO Custom is Super Sporty!

Nissan’s new “”xtrail”” officially announced on July 20, 2022.

　Since around 2020, when the Corona disaster started, there had been many speculations in the online media and automotive media that the new model “”XTRAIL”” might be released in 2021, which turned out to be “”might be announced in early 2022? And since it still didn’t appear to be released, users were left wondering, “”When in the world will it be released? And finally, in July 2022, the first article was published.

　Finally, on July 20, 2022, the new XTRAIL was officially announced.

　The author (Takeshi Momota) attended the press conference held on the same day at Nissan Global Headquarters to announce the new Extrail, and asked Asako Hoshino, Executive Vice President in charge of Global Marketing and Sales, the following questions directly to her.

As for the timing of the launch, since around the year before last (2020), there have been numerous rumors of the launch through the automotive media, etc., and the expectations among users have risen considerably.

　Was this just speculation by the automotive media and others? Or, although there may have been some impact from the semiconductor shortage and the Corona disaster, was this the right time to make the announcement from the beginning?””

　To this question, Vice President Hoshino simply replied, “”For our part, we have been preparing for an announcement at this time this year (July 2022).

　After the press conference, we asked various Nissan personnel involved in the new EXTRAIL, including those involved in vehicle body development, e-POWER development, and marketing, about the same timing for the launch in Japan, and they all said that they had been preparing for this timing.

　We also spoke with Shoichi Nakamura, Chief Vehicle Engineer in charge of the new Extrail’s development, who told us that he had been planning and developing the Extrail’s sibling, the Rogue, which had already been launched in North America, in parallel with the new xtrail, assuming that the two models would be launched at different times. The timing of the announcement in Japan had been known for quite some time.

　Now, I would like to look back at the background behind the impression in many media that the new Extrail would be announced and released well before the timing of this announcement, while turning back the clock a little.

　First is the cycle of full model changes from successive generations of the Extrail. The first-generation XTRAIL (model T30) was launched in 2000, the second-generation (T31) seven years later in 2007, and the third-generation (T32) six years later in 2013.

　This naturally leads one to think that the fourth generation (T33) will be introduced in 2020, seven years after 2013, or at the latest in 2021, eight years after 2013.

　On the other hand, Nissan announced its “”Business Structural Reform Plan: NISSAN NEXT”” on May 28, 2020, after the current president Makoto Uchida took over, and in the plan, Nissan announced that it would “”launch 12 new models (globally) in the next 18 months””.

　In other words, the plan refers to the launch by the end of November 2021. Based on this plan, the image that the new XTRAIL in Japan will be launched by the end of 2021 has spread not only among the media but also among users and dealers.

　However, in NISSAN NEXT, the promotion of electrification is described as introducing more than 8 models of electric vehicles by FY2023, and expanding e-POWER in the B and C segments of the global market. In addition, Japan has set a goal of achieving 60% electrification rate by FY2023.

　Then, the fact that the XTRAIL, which the media and users had been assured would be equipped with e-POWER in the next model year, was introduced in the summer of FY2022 is in accordance with the electrification roadmap initially disclosed at Nissan NEXT.”

Nissan’s New xtrail: What’s the Reaction at Dealerships?
　The new Nissan xtrail is now in its fourth generation.
　
　In addition to the “”power”” inherited from the first generation, the new XTRAIL has evolved into a full-fledged SUV with a modern quality feel.

We’ve been waiting for it! This is Nissan’s newest SUV, the xtrail, with cool two-stage lights! See the actual car in 52 images.

It’s finally here! Nissan’s New “”XTRAIL”” What are the Popular Grades?

　The XTRAIL is one of Nissan’s representative models that has been loved for many years as a pioneer in the popularity of SUVs since the first generation was released in 2000.

　According to Nissan dealers in the Tokyo metropolitan area, many users have been inquiring about the new Extrail since its announcement, as it will be reborn as an authentic SUV with a modern “”quality”” feel, in addition to the “”tough gear”” concept inherited from the first generation model. According to Nissan dealers in the Tokyo metropolitan area, many users have been inquiring about the new model since its announcement.

One of the main features of the new Extrail is the second-generation “”e-POWER”” equipped with a high-output motor, as well as the “”VC Turbo”” engine for power generation, which Nissan succeeded in mass-producing for the first time in the world, and the new “”e-POWER”” electric drive 4-wheel control system, which is the first of its kind in the world. The e-4ORCE electric drive four-wheel control technology is also new to this model.

　This powertrain provides not only an overwhelmingly quiet and powerful driving experience, but also a driving experience that “”makes you feel as if you are a better driver”” in various situations, such as driving on snowy and mountainous roads, and on-road driving. In addition, the new XTRAIL is also equipped with a new

　In addition, most grades of the new XTRAIL are available with 2WD or 4WD specifications, and some grades are available with three rows of seats. In addition, a variety of variations are available, including AUTECH, EXTREME X, and NISMO.

　A representative from a Nissan dealership in the Kansai region says, “”We feel that the standard grades, X and X e-4ORCE, are the most popular grades.

　The aforementioned representative in the Kansai region also commented, “”Among the customers I have handled who have ordered the new Extrail, many have ordered the ‘X’ grade. In particular, there are cases where customers order the ‘X’ grade with the necessary options installed.

　In addition to five two-tone body colors, including the elegant “”Shell Blonde,”” there are seven monotone body colors, including “”Cardinal Red,”” a further evolution of the red that has been the EXTRAIL’s signature color since the first generation.

　At several dealerships, it appears that users still choose simple colors such as white and black as popular body colors.

　On the other hand, a representative of a Nissan dealership in the Chubu area had the following to say about the popular body colors.

Shell Blonde, which is featured on the cover of our catalog, and Cardinal Red, which is a representative color of the EXTRAIL, are also popular.

　However, when sold as a used car, these distinctive colors may have a disadvantage in terms of resale value compared to simple colors such as white or black.

　For this reason, we may recommend a residual value loan, which guarantees future resale value, to buyers of flashy colors such as cardinal red or shell blonde.

* * *

　A representative of a Nissan dealership in Tokyo said the following about the delivery date of the new Nissan EXTRAIL: “”Around December 2022.

I think it will be around December 2022. However, due to various background factors such as the shortage of semiconductors caused by the recent situation, the delivery date information changes at the rate of one week.

　Therefore, although it pains us to say it, we cannot predict a definite delivery date at all, and there is a good possibility that it will be extended by several more months.

　We ask our customers to place orders only after we have properly explained the situation to them, even though the delivery date is not very clear.

　Similarly, some dealers state delivery dates as “”January to February”” and others as “”November to December,”” and the reality is that even dealers cannot clearly predict delivery dates.

“New SUVs can “”sleep in the car””! The long-established 4th generation can “”sleep”” in the car! Nissan’s new “”Extrail”” has a new sleeping area!

Actually Tested! New EXTRAIL can “”sleep”” one adult!
　The fully redesigned Nissan EXTRAIL combines the second-generation e-POWER with the VC Turbo variable compression ratio engine and e-4ORCE electric drive four-wheel control technology to dramatically improve driving performance and fuel economy. The product’s product appeal has been greatly enhanced with a full lineup of advanced driving support functions and an improved design quality.

“”Roomy cargo space! The new Nissan EXTRAIL, a well-established brand with excellent usability

　The new Extrail has an expanded interior space, but how well does it respond to the “”overnight stay in a car”” trend that is rapidly gaining attention?

We immediately “”slept”” in the new Nissan EXTRAIL (2-row seat vehicle) just announced on July 20, 2022! [Model is an editorial staff member about 170 cm tall].

　The body size of the new Extrail is 4660 mm (length) x 1840 mm (width) x 1720 mm (height) with a wheelbase of 2705 mm.

　Compared to the previous (3rd generation) model, it has changed by -30 mm in overall length, +20 mm in overall width, and -20 mm in overall height, while the wheelbase is the same as the previous generation.

　Although there has been little change in overall size, the headroom in the rear seats has been expanded despite the lower overall height, thanks to a review of the seating position and seat thickness. Legroom has also been expanded.

　The rear seat slide has been increased by 20 mm, and the cargo space has been extended. The shape of the cargo space has been revised, and the opening has been widened. Combined with the remote-controlled auto back door with hands-free function, usability has also been improved.

　Now, how about the performance of the overnight stay in the car?

　We actually tested the new EXTRAIL in its 5-seat (2-row) version.

　The rear seats (second seats) are 4:2:4 split-foldable.

　However, it is not equipped with a dive-down mechanism for the seats when folded down or a double-folding mechanism that allows the seats to fold forward independently, and the backrests of the rear seats are not flat.

　When our editorial staff member, who is 170 cm tall, actually tried lying down in the new EXTRAIL, he found that the length from the rear edge of the floor to the rear seat backrest (cargo floor length) was not enough, so he could not lie straight.

　If the space between the rear seat legroom and the front seat is filled with luggage, etc., and then corrected with an outdoor air mat, etc., it may be possible to gain a little more cargo space floor length and make it easier to sleep, but in any case, large people are likely to sleep at an angle.

　The maximum rear seat width is 1239mm (Nissan’s internal measurement), which is enough space for a “”bed”” for one person.

* * * *

　For those who stay overnight in their cars, another noteworthy feature of the new EXTRAIL is the new 100V (1500W) AC power supply in the cargo area.

　Although USB power sources and DC12V sockets have been available in the past and could be used to charge smartphones and other devices, the ability to utilize home appliances outdoors and in the car while traveling is a major change.”

　The exterior design has been renewed with proportions that add quality to the “”tough”” character that has continued in successive generations. The body color lineup is also in line with this concept.
　
　This issue of Mazda News introduces the color variations of the new EXTRAIL, which is available in a total of 12 patterns.

　The new Extrail has a lineup of 12 patterns, including five two-tone and seven monotone (single-color) colors.

　Of these, red is the most “”typical EXTRAIL color”” that has been used since the first generation model.

　The new model is available in Cardinal Red (Color Clear Pearl Metallic).

　It is not a mere red.

　Inspired by deep red roses, this new color was developed to be more vivid and deep, and is available only in monotone.

　Another theme color is the two-tone Shell Blonde (metallic) and Super Black.

　These colors were developed with the aim of creating a fine, elegant, champagne-like hue. There is no monotone setting for this color.

　Other two-tone colors are available in Brilliant White Pearl (3-coat pearl), Caspian Blue (metallic), Sunrise Orange (Multiflex Pearl Metallic), and Stealth Gray (pearl), all of which are combined with Super Black.

　In addition to the aforementioned Cardinal Red, the monotone color options include “”Diamond Black (pearl),”” “”Brilliant Silver (metallic),”” and “”Dark Metal Gray (metallic).

　In addition, there is also a choice of “”Brilliant White Pearl,”” “”Caspian Blue,”” and “”Stealth Gray,”” which are also available in two-tone settings.

　All body colors of the new EXTRAIL will feature “”Scratch Shield.

　This is a unique coating technology that applies a clear coating with a soft resin to the body, which can recover over time from scratches and scuffs caused by car washing and daily use.

　The history of this technology dates back to “”Scratch Guard Coat,”” which was adopted for the first time in the world in 2005 for the body color of the first-generation EXTRAIL.

　It was initially available as a special edition “”SCRATCH GUARD COAT EDITION”” for the Super Black body color.

　The name was changed to Scratch Shield with the second-generation EXTRAIL, which was fully remodeled in 2007, and was used for the Burning Red, Sapphire Blue, and Diamond Black body colors.

　It finally became standard on all colors in the third generation (previous generation), which was introduced in 2013, and the technology has been inherited to this day.

　The EXTRAIL even takes into consideration the protection of body color under tough usage conditions. This attention to detail is one of the reasons why the EXTRAIL has been loved by outdoor users for so long.”

“Nissan XTRAIL New Model] SUV-like Characteristics! The EXTREME X is also pleased with its waterproof seats [Detailed Photos] July 24, 2022 (Sun.) 12:00 PM

The new Nissan XTRAIL, Nissan’s mid-size SUV, is designed to be both “”tough”” and “”high quality””. This time, we will introduce the “”EXTREME X,”” a grade with a more active personality.

Enhanced SUV stature
The Extreamer X is a special grade of the mass-market “”X”” four-wheel drive model, available with two or three rows of seats, priced at 4,129,400 yen and 4,263,300 yen, respectively. Exclusive parts are installed to further enhance the “”tough gear”” element of the base model.

The Extreamer X wears exclusively designed 18-inch aluminum wheels. It should be said that while the base model’s wheels have an urban and sophisticated design, these wheels have a more powerful design. There are also seven body colors to choose from, including the two-tone Stealth Gray/Super Black shown in the image.

Waterproof seats and large cargo space are perfect for outdoor activities
The interior is basically the same as that of the base model, but it too is fitted with seats designed exclusively for the EXTREMER X. These seats are waterproof and made of cellulose. These seats are waterproof seats made of cellulose, and are ideal for outdoor use.

The new Nissan XTRAIL has an extended luggage space due to its longer cargo area. The cargo capacity of 575 liters is the top level in its class. The rear seats are split and fold down, and can be arranged to accommodate long items. The back door is equipped with an automatic back door that opens and closes automatically for convenient loading and unloading.

The car is also equipped with “”e-4ORCE,”” an electrically driven four-wheel control technology.

The name “”X”” stands for “”X-treme SPORT,”” “”X”” for “”challenging the unknown,”” and “”X”” for “”4×4. The name is a combination of “”X”” for X-treme SPORT, “”X”” for challenging the unknown, and “”TRAIL”” for footprints, off-road, and rough roads.

When you open the catalog for the first generation, you will see a photo spread showing the muddy exterior and a perspective photo showing the interior loaded with a mountain bike. The cutaway shows how the vehicle should be used at a glance, including the “”washable luggage board,”” which is resistant to stains and scratches and can be washed in water, and the luggage space that is more than the width of a tatami mat (the maximum depth is 1874 mm if the rear seat cushions are removed). The luggage space is described in detail.

On the next page, the latest ALL MODE 4×4 with AUTO, ROCK, and 2WD switchability, 200mm minimum ground clearance, 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and rear independent suspension with rear parallel link struts are also explained. The QR20DE 2-liter engine (the 2-liter turbo SR20VET engine was also available), which was newly developed at the time, is also mentioned here.

The catalog then continues on to the packaging and equipment pages. Unique equipment included a drink box with heat and cold insulation that could hold up to 500 cc PET bottles, and a multi-center armrest. The instrument panel had a clean and simple design with a center meter, and in 2003, a pop-up steering wheel with a spring-up steering column was adopted, which was useful when staying overnight in the car.

The CD-ROM catalog was also prepared for the EXTRAIL. Nissan had the first generation Terrano, an urban 4WD, but the first generation XTRAIL was more casual than the Terrano and was popular for its practicality, functionality, and maneuverability.
