Inovev plans 500,000 units per year of the new Nissan X-Trail
- The Nissan X-Trail (sold in North America and China as the Nissan Rogue) had a period when it was one of the most produced SUVs in the world, with 825,000 sales in 2016, 905,000 in 2017 and 840,000 in 2018, thanks to a very competitive price in relation to the dimensions and performance of the vehicle. In this, it was a competitor to the Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Traverse.
- But since 2019, sales of the X-Trail and Rogue have fallen sharply, from 775,000 units in 2019 to 470,000 in 2020 and 430,000 in 2021. The semiconductor crisis and that of Covid-19 do not explain everything. The model born in 2014 has probably been slow to be replaced (like its cousin the Nissan Qashqai) and the competition has been sharpening for several years. No doubt also D-segment SUVs that are neither hybrid nor electric are of less interest to customers. This is why the new generation of Nissan X-Trail and Rogue unveiled in 2022 is immediately offered with an E-Power hybrid engine which replaces diesel (the only engine available in Europe). This engine is a 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters aided by an electric motor, a set that develops 190 hp. A 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine developing 180hp will also be available but only in markets outside of Europe. The platform is the CMF-C shared with the Nissan Qashqai. The X-Trail will continue to be manufactured mainly in Japan (Fukuoka) and the United States (Smyrna, Tennessee), but also in China (Guangzhou, Guangdong) and Russia (Saint-Petersburg). In total, the new Nissan X-Trail / Rogue should be around 500,000 annual sales worldwide against 400,000 annual sales for the Qashqai.
