Nissan and Mitsubishi's new generation of X-Trail will provide plug-in hybrid version

According to Taiwanese media reports, the new generation of Nissan X-Trail is expected to be released in 2019 and may provide a PHEV plug-in hybrid version. The new power system will be developed based on the current Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV hybrid system and will be equipped with the same 2.0-liter gasoline engine as the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV version, as well as a larger battery pack.

The new generation of Nissan X-Trail may continue to be equipped with the ProPILOT semi-automatic driving system, and based on the current version, add ACC adaptive cruise control, BSW side blind spot detection and lane departure assistance and other safety functions to more models to achieve the upgrade of the entire car series. This is also the first time that Nissan has applied the achievements in the field of autonomous driving to mass-produced models.

In 2016, Nissan spent 16 billion euros to acquire a 34% stake in Mitsubishi Motors, becoming its largest shareholder. Mitsubishi Motors also became a member of the current Renault-Nissan Alliance. Currently, Mitsubishi's plug-in hybrid technology has been praised in the field of Japanese automotive technology. Nissan will certainly want to absorb this excellent technology and transfer it to other models of the group in the future.
