Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) today unveiled the all-new Nissan X-Gear crossover with a refreshed look that is sportier in appearance.

The New Nissan X-Gear is an interpretation of how we can live life to the fullest, thanks to its sporty and rugged look, its versatile spaciousness and fuel-efficiency,” said Mr. Tan Keng Meng, the Director of Marketing and Product Planning of ETCM.
The new X-Gear exterior features a sophisticated new chrome V-Strut front grille with smoked horizontal panes that give dynamism to its appearance. The new body side moulding and overfenders accentuate its rugged form. A new front bumper with black sump guard, new roof rails, new V-Spoke alloy rims, new engine hood and fender design, sleeker wing mirror and head lamps complete the new look.
For the rear section, the new X-Gear sports a new distinctive tail lamp which emphasizes its horizontal width which complements the all-new rear styling. The new rear bumper design comes with integrated rear reflectors and an LED High Mounted Stop Lamp for added safety and style.
Complementing the new X-Gear styling is its spacious yet comfortable interior, with a new seat fabric design and improved visibility, thanks to its new Fine Vision Meter cluster with Multi-Information Display (MID).
The new three-spoke steering wheel now incorporates control switches for the innovative Wide 2-DIN audio system with AUX Input for a journey full of personalized rhythm. The Multi-Information Display (MID) control switch displays a clean layout and enables one to switch info with your hands still on the steering wheel.
A spacious trunk and legroom, is complemented by 60:40 split-fold rear seats that double the available luggage space from 383 litres to 769 litres when folded down. The new X-Gear’s roof rail has a further load carrying capacity of up to 25kgs, and so it is suitable for carrying a mountain bike or even a canoe!
Safety on the road is paramount and the new X-Gear comes with front seatbelts now equipped with pre-tensioners and load limiters which are in compliance with the latest UNECE crash tests. Dual front SRS airbags are standard together with the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist System (BA).
The new X-Gear is powered by a 1.6-litre HRDE16 all-aluminium, compact and lightweight four-cylinder engine that produces 103hp and 150Nm of torque, mated to a smooth-shifting electronically-controlled four-speed automatic transmission. With its valve timing control technology, the engine delivers responsive performance, strong refinement and exceptional fuel efficiency.
