    Introducing the new “X-Trail” with luxurious sofa specifications! The tan color and luxury feel is amazing… What happened to the comfort of the 3rd row seat car?

    “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.”

    A DIY Jimny exhibition is attracting attention from the older generation

    A “DIY Jimny” exhibition is attracting attention from the older generation. The Suzuki Jimny has been popular since the release of the current model in 2018, with an average wait time of one year for delivery. The article explores the various ways that people customize their Jimnys, with many opting for off-road modifications. One particular Jimny, belonging to a user named Koin, is showcased with various customizations.
    Older generations are eagerly awaiting! The “”DIY Jimny”” exhibit! The car that looks like a life-size plastic model is amazing… What are the details that made it so special? Koin’s Jimny Sierra, customized with off-road racing specs, engine, suspension, etc., was the center of attention. The other is Norrie’s military-style custom vehicle based on the concept of a fictional British Special Forces vehicle. What they have in common is the DIY spirit that is unique to Jimny. Since the Jimny can be purchased for less than 2 million yen, it is believed that middle-aged and older drivers can budget more for customization than for other vehicles.”
