Verdict
Nissan has priced the X-Trail at a bit higher price tag and considering the engine on offer and features on offer it seems overpriced in front of rivals like the Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan. The SUV will be imported as a CBU, but a more feature-rich version of the X-Trail is already available internationally. It would have been great if Nissan had brought that version to India.
