FactBehind the scenes, this X-Trail's diesel wasn't a purely Nissan design — the 2.0-litre engine in Japan's 20GT model was developed jointly with alliance partner Renault.
The second-generation X-Trail made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007 and went on sale in Japan in August 2007, in Europe in the third quarter of that year, and in Australia and Mexico towards the end of the year. Slightly larger than the previous model, it is based on the Renault–Nissan C platform, and it was not sold in the United States and Canada, where it was replaced by the Rogue. In Japan it was initially offered with a 2.5 and a 2.0 petrol engine and a CVT; the X-Trail GT SR20VET was not offered, due to the 2005 Japan vehicle emissions control. In September 2008 the 20GT became available in Japan with the M9R, a 2.0-litre turbocharged common-rail diesel developed jointly with Renault, the first diesel X-Trail offered in the Japanese domestic market, and the previous 2.2-litre dCi was replaced by two 2.0-litre dCi versions offering 150 and 177 PS. A facelifted model was released in Japan in July 2010, and the second generation was replaced in October 2013 when the third generation was unveiled in Japan.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 2.0 MR20DE trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.
