According to a press release from the Japanese carmaker, “The testing will evaluate each vehicle’s capacity to satisfy consumer expectations, with a focus on how well they adapt to Indian roads and various terrains. Nissan’s top engineers began putting the cars through their paces this month on the roads surrounding the company’s Chennai production facility.””The Indian market has limitless potential, and it is vital that we provide the best vehicle lineup to fit with what modern Indian consumers want and need,” said Frank Torres, president of Nissan India.
Following the Nissan Magnite’s success in India, Torres continued, “we want to strengthen our focus and exploit our experience on high-quality SUVs that have come to represent our image.”Nissan will be evaluating the viability of vehicles from its worldwide portfolio for the prospective future vehicle lineup in India over the upcoming weeks. The X-Trail will be released for sale initially after testing is over, followed by additional versions.
These vehicle evaluations are a component of a comprehensive research Nissan is conducting to get ready for its future in India. In addition to examining the possibility for electrification in the long term, the comprehensive evaluation also involves securing future localised production for the long-term viability of domestic and export industry.According to sources, The X-Trail will return in its fourth-generation form sometime in the middle of 2023 and will be imported as an entirely built-up vehicle (CBU). It has the choice of a mild-hybrid or a strong-hybrid powertrain, which, depending on the powertrain, can send power to the front or all four wheels.
