How Many Cylinders Does the 2020 X-Trail Engine Have?
2 Answers
2020 X-Trail is equipped with a three-cylinder engine. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about the X-Trail: Exterior Design: The all-new X-Trail adopts the "Fluid Painting" design concept, which marks a significant departure from the previous model's boxy and rugged style. The vehicle's lines are dynamic and fluid, creating a cohesive look. Interior: Similar to its exterior, the new X-Trail's interior features more rounded lines. Nissan's signature warm and homey interior style is also reflected in the new X-Trail. Compared to the rigid design of the previous model, the overall interior of the new vehicle is more fashionable and luxurious.
The 2020 X-Trail sold in China mostly came with four-cylinder engines, as Nissan avoided using the controversial three-cylinder option for this model. This generation offered two displacement choices: a 2.0L and a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, both featuring an inline-four configuration. The power delivery is quite smooth for city driving, especially when accelerating from traffic lights without any noticeable vibration. Compared with the same-year CR-V and RAV4, which also used four-cylinder engines, it seems Japanese compact SUVs were all avoiding the three-cylinder risk at that time. Honestly, the four-cylinder design is simpler and more maintenance-friendly, with spark plugs lasting about 60,000 kilometers per replacement. During highway overtaking, the engine remains stable even when revving up to 4,000 RPM, though the noise becomes slightly noticeable during hard acceleration. In the current used car market, four-cylinder X-Trails hold their value half a tier better than some three-cylinder competitors, making them a worry-free choice for owners.
