With winter showing its dark side in many countries, Nissan is marketing a new edition of the X-Trail in Great Britain, dubbed as the ‘ARCTIX Sports Adventure’. Based on the 2.0dCi X-TRAIL, the special version is offered either with a 6-speed automatic gearbox in which case, the diesel unit has an output of 150 PS or a 5-speed manual with a higher powered 173PS 2.0dCi unit. Despite the flashy name, the ‘ARCTIX Sports Adventure’ is simply an X-Trail with additional standard equipment including eXtreme roof rails and lamps with snowstorm side steps. -Continued

Trim and equipment details for the ‘ARCTIX Sports Adventure’ are similar to the X-Trail SPORT grade with 17 inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, privacy glass, CD autochanger with 6 speakers, Bluetooth phone integration, climate control air conditioning, automatic headlamps and rain sensing wipers. Upholstery is a charcoal colored cloth weave whilst the exterior can be selected within a choice of six paint colors: Pearl White, Thundercloud, Twilight Grey, Ebisu Black, Atlas Blue and Chilli Pepper Red. Vehicles will be available in showrooms from 2 January 2008 with prices starting off at £21,995.
