Nissan is starting the new decade with the launch of a tech and design edition on its core models Qashqai and X-Trail. Called N-TEC, this special version will “upscale the range, with an exclusive, luxury look”. All of the models feature “unique, sleek, black external styling additions, so customers can begin the 2020s at the wheel of their sophisticated N-TEC Qashqai or X-Trail”.

The N-TEC special version will also bring Nissan Intelligent Mobility innovations to a wider audience than ever before.

The Qashqai N-TEC has a new look with all-black 19-inch alloy wheels and details including darkened LED headlamps. The black-themed upgrade continues inside the Qashqai N-TEC with Alcantara-trimmed seats. Technology is also upgraded, adding the advanced ProPILOT system and Intelligent Park Assist, which are standard on the range-topping Tekna grade. To further help drivers enjoy their drive, the Qashqai N-TEC features the NissanConnect infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to ensure effortless connection to digital life.

For customers who need more space, the X-Trail N-TEC will be available with the 1.7dCi engine as a five or seven-seater, with two or four wheel-drive, and featuring 18-inch black alloy wheels, dark chrome V-motion grille, and gloss black details such as roof rails and mirror caps. This special X-Trail also boasts door sill protectors with illuminated N-TEC lettering. It also features ProPILOT on models fitted with an automatic gearbox in addition to Nissan’s acclaimed Safety Shield package. Pricing for the X-Trail will be confirmed later this month.
