Four stars for Nissan X-TRAIL in Euro NCAP test
Nissan Motor Co.’s brand new X-TRAIL SUV was awarded four stars out of a maximum five for adult, as well as child, occupant protection by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). Following the safety lead set by the Nissan QASHQAI – which received the highest score for adult occupant protection ever by the independent crash test organisation – the X-TRAIL scored especially well in child protection, underlining its role as an ideal family vehicle. X-TRAIL is one of only two vehicles on record to score 43 points for child protection, the maximum yet achieved in Euro NCAP tests.
X-TRAIL, which is manufactured at Nissan’s plant in Kyushu, Japan, has active and passive safety equipment including front, side and curtain airbags.
The second generation X-TRAIL was introduced in Europe in June 2007. Among its features are greater interior space than its predecessor, great comfort and a wider choice of engine options. It also features Nissan’s latest electronically-controlled four-wheel drive system, making X-TRAIL far more capable off-road than many of its SUV rivals.
