2024 Nissan X-Trail SUV to Launch in India Soon; Here's What to Expect

Given its low monthly sales volume, Nissan has been struggling to expand its footprint in the Indian market for some time now. The brand's narrow portfolio, with the Magnite SUV being the lone model in the India lineup, is a major contributing factor to this. Nevertheless, the Japanese carmaker is determined to grow its market share, which currently stands at less than 1 percent. In a recent development, Nissan India shared a teaser clip and image of its upcoming SUV, the X-Trail, anticipated to arrive later this year. Since it was previously on sale in India from 2005 to 2014, the X-Trail is not a completely new product. Read on to learn more about the X-Trail's features, specs, and design.
