Is the X-Trail equipped with a timing belt or chain?

[MacParker]

X-Trail uses a timing chain, which is generally maintenance-free in principle. This means it typically does not require replacement under normal circumstances. However, in special cases, inspection or maintenance replacement might be necessary. The timing chain is a crucial component of the engine's valve train system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific gear ratio. The X-Trail is a vehicle launched by Dongfeng Nissan, featuring a sleek waistline that runs from the headlights to the taillights, giving it a fluid and refined appearance. The uniform gaps between the body panels and the integrated tailgate trim enhance the smooth transition between the tailgate and rear bumper, combining strength with elegance.
