What are the differences in the three major components between the Qashqai and the X-Trail?

[AbigailFitz]

The three major components—engine, transmission, and chassis—of the Qashqai and X-Trail share the same structure. The only difference is that the Qashqai is exclusively equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, while the X-Trail offers two engine options: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine in both the Qashqai and X-Trail delivers a maximum power of 154 horsepower and a maximum torque of 204 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6000 rpm and the maximum torque at 4400 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology, uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, and is paired with a CVT transmission. The X-Trail's 2.5L naturally aspirated engine produces a maximum power of 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 246 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6000 rpm and the maximum torque at 4000 rpm. It employs multi-point fuel injection technology, uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, and is also paired with a CVT transmission.
