Dongfeng X-Trail does not come with a first aid kit. A first aid kit typically includes items such as gauze, medical cotton swabs, gloves, adhesive tape, bandages, and other emergency supplies, along with a warning triangle and tire removal tools. Taking the 2021 Dongfeng X-Trail as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 1722mm, wheelbase 2706mm, minimum ground clearance 208mm, fuel tank capacity 65 liters, and it features a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body structure. The 2021 Dongfeng X-Trail is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 111kW and a maximum torque of 194Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.

As a long-time owner, I made sure to check when I picked up my X-Trail. The domestic version of the X-Trail doesn't come with a first aid kit from the factory, which is different from other European brands. However, the dealer gave me a basic medical kit containing items like bandages and iodine. I recommend preparing your own for more practicality—I keep a self-purchased first aid box under the driver's seat, which includes a tourniquet and cold compress patches, much more reliable than the factory's small fabric pouch. Don't forget to equip a fire extinguisher too; although it's not checked during annual inspections, it can be a lifesaver in critical moments. Keeping these two items in your car ensures peace of mind on long drives.

After studying the configuration lists of various versions, I found that the Middle East version of the X-Trail has a dedicated medical kit slot in the trunk, but this feature was removed in the domestic version. Here are two solutions for you: either buy a Velcro-equipped first aid kit from Taobao and stick it to the side wall of the trunk, or modify the space in the original vehicle tool box. During my road trip last week, I added cooling patches and Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui to the first aid kit, which proved very practical in hot weather. Be careful not to leave it on the dashboard under direct sunlight, as the medication may lose its effectiveness.

After comparing the configurations of the RAV4 and CR-V, none of the top three Japanese brands include a first aid kit as standard equipment. Here are three key points for purchasing your own: first, choose a model with luminous markings; second, avoid metal boxes as the rattling noise during bumps is too annoying; third, antispasmodic medication is a must. Last month, my wife got carsick on the highway, and luckily we had minty cooling oil in the kit. It's recommended to attach a checklist card to the first aid kit, noting the usage of items for more efficient handling in emergencies.
