context_page_description: The Nissan X-Trail is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 2000. In third generation, it is a three row SUV.
  It was one of Nissan's first crossovers and was released about the same time as several other companies' competing car-based crossovers, including the Ford Escape and its Mazda Tribute sibling, the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson and its modern sibling the Kia Sportage, as well as the compact body-on-frame Suzuki Grand Vitara before third generation. The X-Trail is positioned below the truck-based Xterra and Pathfinder. The second generation X-Trail shares its platform with the Rogue, which is very similar to the Qashqai.
  The X-Trail's All-Mode 4x4 transmission transfer case enables the driver to select between 2WD, 4WD or 4WD Lock through an electronic switch on the dashboard. Nissan currently offers a hydrogen fuel cell model named the X-Trail FCV on lease to businesses.
  The main production plant of the X-Trail is in Kanda, Fukuoka, Japan. Parts and engines that are produced in Japan are also assembled by other Nissan plants in numerous countries.
  The X-Trail was never offered by dealerships in the United States.
context_section_description: The T30 series X-Trail was unveiled at the September 2000 Paris Motor Show. It uses the Nissan FF-S platform, shared with the Nissan Almera and the Nissan Primera. It entered production in October, and sales in Japan commenced in November 2000. In June 2003 Nissan gave the car an interior and exterior facelift, while also upgrading the 2.2-litre turbodiesels with a variable turbocharger (2.2 dci rather than the earlier 2.2 Di), producing 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp) instead of the original 114 PS (84 kW; 112 hp). The external differences were slight, although the grille and the bumpers were redesigned and the Nissan logo was updated to the latest design.
  The X-Trail was sold in Canada for the model years of 2005 and 2006 (but Nissan Canada continued to market it until 2007), and in Mexico since 2003. It has been sold in the Philippines since the middle of 2003.
  In the United Kingdom, the first generation car was available in S, Sport and SE+ between launch and 2004. There was also a Fat Face special edition in 2005, only for the United Kingdom, which was based on the Sports. They made 1,998 of them to celebrate the year Fat Face was set up. The trim levels were then revised to SE, Sport, SVE and T-Spec.
  In Australia, it was available in standard ST, mid spec ST-S, high spec Ti and luxury spec Ti-L, with limited editions ST-X, ST-R, ST-S 40th anniversary models. At this point, all models in the United Kingdom were equipped with full electric windows, electricity adjustable door mirrors (on SVE and T-Spec they were electrically folding also), climate control, single CD player, four airbags and remote central locking.
  While in Australia all models were equipped with full electric windows, electric mirrors (electric folding on Ti-L), single CD player, two airbags and remote central locking. ST-S adds ST on sunroof and 16" alloy wheels. Ti adds ST on climate control, six disk CD player, fog lamps and 16" alloy wheels, and Ti-L adds Ti on leather and electric seats, sunroof, and optional DVD player. Limited edition ST-R adds ST on light emitting roof racks, with ST-S 40th Anniversary adding fog lamps to original ST-S.
  In 2007 Nissan released the fully overhauled T31 X-Trail, replacing the Nissan X-Trail T30.
