“Tough Gear”and “High Quality”for New X-TRAILFig. 1 Number of SUVs sold globally and share by vehicle typeFig. 2 New X-TRAIL e-4ORCE1 .Introduction2. Evolution of the new X-TRAILFig. 3 Heritage and evolution of X-TRAIL*Product Development Department No.2After Nissan pioneered the first-generation X-TRAIL in the middle-segment SUV market, subsequent models have inherited the powerful driving performance and highly convenient equipment that only genuine SUVs offer and have evolved by incorporating the cutting-edge technology of the time. X-TRAIL was selected by customers worldwide to travel in various environments with different road surface conditions and at different speed ranges.The development goals for the fourth-generation the evolved second-X-TRAIL, which generation “e-POWER” × “VC-TURBO” and the electric drive four-wheel control technology “e-4ORCE,” were to evolve the rough-road drivability inherited as “Tough Gear” from the first-generation model, and realize a level of quietness and ride comfort that provide a “high quality” feeling during on-road driving, which is not possible with conventional SUVs.The capability to drive off-road and on snowy road surfaces provides drivers with a sense of power and security. For example, when starting from a stationary position and climbing a dirt hill with a 20% gradient (as shown in Fig. 4), a high torque is applied instantaneously to the rear tires without causing them to spin idly. This enables the vehicle to climb the hill with a speed acceleration performance 1.7 times higher than that of conventional models.incorporate 5In 2021, the SUV segment sold 35 million units globally, becoming the top-selling vehicle type with a 45.9% market share (Fig. 1). Since then, vehicle manufacturers have successively launched new vehicle models, significantly intensifying the competition.Nissan has actively promoted electrification to achieve carbon neutrality and incorporated its unique e-POWER technology into the new X-TRAIL to develop convention-defying SUVs that offer and the pleasure and comfort of driving a 100% motor-driven SUV.1.
