The sunroof drain holes of the new X-Trail are located inside the vehicle's A-pillars and C-pillars, shaped as round rubber plugs. Taking the 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 172mm, wheelbase 2706mm, minimum ground clearance 210mm, and curb weight 1489kg. The 2021 X-Trail is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151ps, maximum torque of 194Nm, and maximum power of 111kW. It is paired with a 7-speed CVT transmission, featuring steel front and rear suspensions and alloy swing arms.
The drainage holes for the X-Trail's sunroof are cleverly designed, typically located at the four corners around the sunroof on the roof, leading directly to the wheel arches or beneath the chassis. Let me explain in detail: the front drainage holes are hidden inside the A-pillars and are prone to clogging with dirt during car washes; the rear drainage holes are near the C-pillars and lead to the wheel arches. If these small holes are not cleaned regularly, water can seep into the car, causing moldy seats or rotting carpets, which affects driving comfort. I recommend checking them once a year, especially before the rainy season, using a thin wire or small brush to clear them and prevent water accumulation hazards. As an owner, keeping them clear is crucial—otherwise, repair costs can be expensive, and it may shorten the sunroof's lifespan. When parking, try to avoid areas with dense branches to reduce the risk of clogging.
