Dongfeng Nissan to introduce Chinese made X-trail

Previously, the Nissan X-trail was an imported model, however that did noth hamper sales. The X-trail became a very popular SUV since it was introduced into China in 2003. Nissan and Dongfeng have now teamed upto introduce the 2nd generation X-trail into China as a domestically made vehicle.

The 2nd generation X-Trail is expected to go on the market in October 2008, with a choice of either 2.0l or 2.5l engine, both of which are already made in China for use in other Nissan models. Pricing of the Chinese made X-Trail is expected to be 240,000 yuan, slightly cheaper than the import price of 290,000 yuan to 330,000 yuan.
