The new generation of X-Trail has attracted a lot of attention since its listing, and with the passage of time, more and more people have started. The author has exchanged the driving experience of a new generation of X-Trail with the middle-aged uncle of the post-80s and the new dad after 95, and combined with his own driving experience, talk about the surprises brought by the upgraded X-Trail.
The space for family cars must be large enough
In terms of appearance, the new generation of Qijun looks younger and more fashionable, but it still inherits a lot of traditional temperament and shows obvious family design characteristics, which is not much to say here.
Whether it is a middle-aged uncle or a new grandfather, there is one thing in common, that is, it pays more attention to space. The middle-aged uncle is in the second child's home, going out to help the old and the young, the luggage carried with the car is too much; the young dad has a lot of things to bring, the safety seat is prepared early, diapers, wet paper towels, teeth grinding food, spare clothes, toys, strollers, etc., I really hate to convert the cockpit into a mobile nursery. When the car is used, it is small, and this space can still be big.
From the perspective of body size, the length, width and height of the new generation of X-Trail are 4681×1840×1730mm, and the wheelbase is 2706mm, which is relatively long in the same class, and even close to the size of a medium-sized SUV. The new dad came to the scene with a stroller, which can be described as a step in place.
The middle-aged uncle directly installed child safety seats for both babies, and also installed children's heightening mats. The installation is very convenient, because the new generation of X-Trail's car seat interface is just outside, and it is OK to open the installation directly.
It is worth praising that the central platform of the new generation of Qijun is almost flat, the rear door opening angle is close to 90 degrees, and the lively and active children do not have to be afraid of being squeezed up and down, so that parents can worry a lot.
The trunk is also very important, the new generation of Qijun's trunk opening is relatively large in the same level, the size reaches 1158×792mm, and the space is not occupied by the rear wheel arch, the opening is relatively regular, the platform is not very high, and it is very convenient to take and place the stroller. The author is a person who does not like to visit the supermarket, often buying food for a week or even half a month at a time, thanks to the large enough trunk to fit.
Smart technology is definitely a must-have helper for home travel
Life is not easy, there are too many things to deal with every day, and it would be best if driving could be simple. Fortunately, today's cars are becoming more and more intelligent, which can save us a lot of trouble.
For example, the new generation of X-Trail is equipped with AVM panoramic intelligent monitoring and front-and-rear reversing radar, which can make reversing and starting easier. People who have had the experience of picking up their children from school must have experienced that there are many people in front of the school, and the cars are also connected front and back, if there is no technology, it is difficult to walk. With panoramic intelligent monitoring and reversing radar, there is no need to look at the rearview mirror with great effort, and the mature and stable human design will not easily collapse in the eyes of children.
And when there is an emergency, the vehicle will also take the initiative to warn. CTA reversing side warning, MOD moving object/pedestrian detection warning, RAB post-collision intelligent brake, IEB pre-collision intelligent brake and other functions can be detected when a vehicle or pedestrian approaching to issue an audible alarm, but also on the dashboard to display an early warning screen, the latter two functions also support active braking.
For novices or people who are prone to nervousness, EAPM throttle mis-pedal correction is also very useful. If there is a danger of scratching or colliding, if you step on the accelerator in a hurry, the system will remind you and help you automatically brake.
These are all smart security technology configurations, and some technology configurations are more convenient to drive, but also to improve the level of comfort. For example, Nissan Connect Super Intelligent Connection 2.0 car networking is very intimate. Taking one child out may take 20% of your attention, and taking two children may share 50% of your attention, especially when two children are loud and noisy, you really wish you had two pairs of hands.
That's when voice control comes in handy. You only need to use your voice to control the air conditioning, car windows, navigation, telephone, music and other functions, you can avoid the safety hazards caused by hand distraction, or avoid too many things to deal with at the same time and be busy, so that the emotional collapse and launch the Buddha Lion roar to the child. You can even assign tasks to your child that can be controlled with your voice, such as turning on the air conditioner, playing stories, etc., and as a means of caring for your child, sometimes it is quite useful. Don't believe you try.
Of course, there is also an enhanced version of ProPILOT Super Smart Drive, which can use L2 level automatic driving assist technology to help you save physical strength and energy. In congested road conditions, if you don't want to drive manually, you can press the blue button on the steering wheel to start one button, and the vehicle will follow the front car within the set safety range, eliminating the trouble of constantly braking, but the hand should still be placed on the steering wheel.
On the highway, ProPILOT ultra-smart driving can automatically stay in the middle of the lane, smoothly accelerate deceleration and over-bending, while following the brakes and starting of the car in front, which can reduce the fatigue of long-distance driving. Again, don't let go of your hands, after all, it's just auxiliary technology, and the responsibility for safety still has to be borne by the driver. Especially when there are children in the car, you must drive carefully.
Hold the city to sprinkle wild, there is a real family fun
Today's children have much better material conditions than before, and this is their happiness. However, they have never played with mud, they have not played barefoot, they rarely run wildly in the field, and they have too little contact with nature, which is their shortcoming. Therefore, as a parent, who does not want to have the opportunity to take their children to the nature of the wilderness? This is probably one of the reasons why SUVs are more popular.
At this point, Qijun never disappoints. As a hardcore urban SUV, Qijun has made a name for itself in off-road circles. The new generation of X-Trail has not lost the four-wheel drive system that it has become famous for, and has been upgraded to the second-generation 4×4-i intelligent all-mode four-wheel drive system.
With the help of the new B-LSD electronic differential lock and intelligent dynamic differential, when driving on the primary non-paved road, only the automatic mode of four-wheel drive is selected, and the system will automatically distribute power to the wheel with the greatest adhesion, improving passability.
The new generation of X-Trail has a total of 5 modes of automatic, sports, economy, off-road and snow, which can be switched anytime and anywhere through the control knob. The automatic mode was mentioned earlier, in addition, the economic model is usually adopted, which saves fuel. In the field road conditions with a little deeper depth, you can use off-road mode; snow mode is naturally used in rain and snow.
The intelligent four-wheel drive system, coupled with the HDC steep slope slow down function, 212mm of high ground clearance, whether it is a sand road, a muddy water road, or a winding mountain road, an ice and snow road, a desert road, etc., do not have to make any effort. Usually take your children out on an outing, or go on an in-depth study tour, there is no problem at all.
Another point, even in the wild, the intelligent safety system still works, if there are mountains, branches and other objects on both sides of the body, AVM panoramic intelligent monitoring will automatically open, you can see the road situation in the car, but also judge the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, to help you cross the mountain forest more easily.
Finally, let's talk about motivation. The VC-Turbo Ultra Variable Engine 300 engine on the new generation of X-Trail combines Nissan's latest scientific and technological achievements, and the compression ratio can be intelligently switched between 8:1 and 14:1, thereby ensuring sufficient power output, while also controlling the minimum fuel consumption at 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Usually, pay a little attention to driving habits, and maintain fuel consumption at about 7 liters of 100 kilometers is no problem.
The power of the new generation of X-Trail for urban commuting is more than enough, even in the mountains, grasslands and other more complex roads, VC-Turbo super variable engine 300 engine plus a new generation of CVT intelligent stepless transmission, power response is very timely, with the pedal.
The new generation of X-Trail, the space is large enough, the technology configuration is rich and practical enough, the power is abundant and reliable, and the four-wheel drive system has become more intelligent on the basis of continuing the super off-road performance, which is indeed a good helper for home travel. With the help of TA, the family can enjoy the fireworks of the city, but also go to find poetry and distant places at any time to unlock a better life.
