Is the new X-Trail equipped with independent suspension?
2 Answers
The new X-Trail features a multi-link independent rear suspension. Exterior design of the X-Trail: The front fascia adopts the brand's classic design language, with an inverted trapezoidal front grille. The headlights consist of star-ship style LED headlights, complemented by fog lights below. Safety features of the X-Trail: The new X-Trail is equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system, BA brake assist system, EBD electronic brake-force distribution system, and an intelligent all-mode 4WD system. Additionally, its high-penetration fog lights provide exceptional visibility in adverse weather conditions such as heavy fog and rain, ensuring clear vision and safe driving.
I've been driving the new X-Trail for quite some time, and it indeed features an independent suspension system, particularly with a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. This makes it perform very steadily on city roads and highways, with reduced vibrations when the wheels operate independently, resulting in a smooth ride. I remember once taking my family on an outing, and when we passed through uneven road sections, the shaking was minimal—the kids didn't even wake up, which speaks volumes about its comfort. It also scores points in handling, with good grip during turns and minimal drifting. Compared to some SUVs with non-independent suspensions, like the older RAV4, the new X-Trail excels in filtering out vibrations. Daily maintenance isn't too troublesome—just occasional checks on the shock absorbers and links—though the slightly more complex structure means repair costs are a bit higher. Overall, Nissan has done a great job balancing performance and comfort, making it ideal for long-term family use.
