What is the engine model of the new X-Trail?

[Debbie]

The engine model of the new X-Trail is MR20, with a maximum power of 111 kW, maximum torque of 194 Nm, maximum horsepower of 151 Ps, maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and maximum torque speed of 4400 rpm. The engine of the new X-Trail is produced in China, utilizing Nissan's production technology. For daily maintenance of the new X-Trail's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when large, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

I've been repairing cars for years, and Qashqai owners often ask about the engine number. For the new 2024 Qashqai or recent models, the engine number is actually a unique serial number engraved on the engine block, typically located near the right side of the cylinder block under the hood. It varies for each vehicle and cannot be generalized. Qashqai engine models differ in specific markets, such as the 1.3L turbocharged KR15DDT or the HR16DE gasoline engine used in China, but these are just type descriptions. The number essentially serves as the vehicle's ID card, required for registration and verification during repairs to prevent fraud. To locate it, turn off the engine, open the hood, and look for the nameplate or engraved area; the manual also includes illustrations. The engine number location for e-POWER hybrid Qashqai models is similar. For safety, wear gloves to avoid burns, and if you can't find it, it's advisable to consult a Nissan dealership.

As a long-time Qashqai owner, I've driven two generations of this model. In my 2023 version, the engine number is clearly printed next to the VIN label on the passenger door frame - a unique alphanumeric code specific to each vehicle. The current Qashqai mainly uses a 1.3T engine that delivers strong power with good fuel efficiency, though each car's specific number differs. This number requires special attention when buying used cars to prevent engine swapping. While you don't need this number for daily driving, dealerships will verify it during maintenance to confirm the original engine. For new cars, it's easily found - there's also a small black plate with the number in the engine compartment. The Qashqai's engine reliability is excellent; I frequently drive on highways without issues, and keeping this number well-maintained makes things much easier.

The X-Trail's engine number is a serial number engraved on the engine block in the engine bay. New models like the 2024 X-Trail use a 1.5L naturally aspirated or 1.3T turbo engine, with the number typically located on the left side or near the front fender. Each vehicle has a unique number, which is also recorded in the documentation. Finding it is simple: park the car, open the hood, and look. No need for overly technical terms; just keep it clean during routine maintenance.
