Nissan X-Trail

The Nissan X-Trail is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 2001. It is sold in Japan, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, New Zealand and Australia. The company currently offers a hydrogen fuel cell model on lease to businesses, the X-Trail FCV. In North America, it is positioned below the truck-based Xterra. Introduced in 2001 to compete with compact SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, it did not arrive in the Canadian market until 2004. It is slated to be replaced by the new Nissan Rogue for the Canadian and US markets

Available only in the Japanese market is the SR20VET that produces 206 kW (280 hp). The Australian model is powered by a QR25DE 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine producing 132 kW (177 hp). Also available is the QR20DE 4-cylinder engine, producing 103 kW (140 hp) or 110 kW (150 hp) with an automatic transmission. The Australian X-Trail has had two model revisions, the Series 1 and Series 2. There were several cosmetic and engineering changes made between the two series.

[edit] Media coverage

In 2006, Nissan launched an Nissan X-Trail Bonavista Edition commercial featuring a Nissan dealer speaking in a supposed Newfoundland accent. [1] The commercial itself backfired when Bonavista Mayor Betty Fitzgerald, claimed it had portrayed people in Bonavista as people who cannot speak properly. To further expose the commercial's lack of ligustic authenticity, CBC News reported the sales rep was played by an actor from Cape Breton [2].

That commercial was parodied by a local car dealer in St. John's, Newfoundland in a radio ad that takes shots at Ontario marketing companies and Premier Dalton McGuinty's "nondescript" personality.[3]
