here's a surprise for you… its pretty much the same engine
this SUV is a previous gen Xtrail with a new shell… made in Korea, by Samsung
it has the same NIssan 2.5 PFI four in the old Xtrail
these are not worth $38k when a base current gen Xtrail or the Outlander is like $40k but with an updated engine frame gearbox safety… everything
If it's the same engine then why are the outputs much less??
Its a Nissan X-Trail engine. You can take off the plastic engine cover and it says Nissan on the actual engine.
Tuning is probably different
@Sammyboy: Obviously a Nissan engine. But 122 kW is embarassing from a 2.5L - a 1.8L Corolla produces 126 kW! This engine should be producing ~175 kW and ~280 Nm.
@Mondorock: its not going to do 175kW and 280Nm from only a low compression 2.5
also you should know that sticking the same engine into a different car necessitates different intake piping and exhausts and its may be retuned by different people and so a few kw here and there is normal
also i agree 122kW and 245Nm is low but a quick google shows this thing does 0-100 in like 9.5 secs
does a family suv need more than this?
i'm of the opinion they probably tuned it down to save fuel, save emissions…. and save that cvt long term
@tonyjzx: Sorry, my mistake, the Corolla engine is 2.0L not 1.8L. This would translate into 157 kW and 253 Nm for the 2.5L. Also the torque is 226 not 245.
by Samsung
Renault Korea, actually. Owners: Renault (52.9%), Geely Automobile Holdings (34%), Samsung Card (13.1%)
The new X-Trail's platform is still the same CMF-CD, it hasn't fundamentally changed.
Geely is Chinese so Samsung is insignificant of the mix.
Zen is the mid range spec so more like the xtrail STL $48k than the other $42k one.
For those like me searching the Renault page to find out how big the electric motor battery is…. It's a 2.5L petrol motor with CVT.
Interesting how we both assumed it was electric or hybrid
Ewww….. CVT
Car prices are down down down… Except for Toyota
Unless you get import ones from Jap they cheap
Damn, now the french are doing fugly bogan 'tractors for the city'. There is no hope
Isn't Renault pulling out of Australia?
Probably within 7 years, Chinese cars and maybe Indian cars are going to dominate global market share
nah not indian cars lol, not for another 2 decades.
FYI- Land Rover is Indian ;-)
@Hellcat: Going by its reliability , it's one of the reason on why Indian cars won't dominate the market
@Hellcat: going by that logic Rolls Royce is German, Lotus is Chinese, Lamborghini is German.
gotta wait for 2 decades minimum for Tata and other indian sh*tboxes to catch up mate ;-)
@dukeGR4: Catch up with Japanese cars ? Land Rover are nice cars to drive minus the reliability in some models and I don't think it's a s*itbox .
@Hellcat: Once again, Land Rover is not an indian car. don't claim it as one of your own my Indian friend.
You know darn well i'm referring to Indian designed Indian sh*tboxes.
and no, at least 2 decades to catch up with Chinese cars. maybe 5 decades to reach parity with Japanese cars.
@dukeGR4: Firstly, I’m not Indian so not sure why the assumption. Secondly, since Tata owns Land Rover, it’s an Indian company now. Dismissing entire countries with outdated stereotypes just shows bias, not insight.
@Hellcat: Land Rover is most definately not an Indian car maker.
They simply have Indian ownership - there is zero connection to India in their design, engineering, or build.
Holden were not an American car maker, simply because they were owned by GM.
@Nom: So according to your logic if a Toyota is made in Thailand it still is Japanese company.
If a BMW is made in Mexico it's still is a German company.
But if Land Rover in owned by a Indian company and built in India it still has zero connection to Indian design or build? Because of your personal bias?
Nope, Citroen is though.
Jatco CVT. Don't do it.
No issue in 7 years so far.
We've had this shaped Zen model for 7 years. Its been great. Still a great vehicle.
Done nearly 150k in it from new.
Compared with xtrail at the time it had a heap more features. Xtrail was more expenaive then too. We bought to replace the previous shape xtrail we had.
Likely in run-out, a new model was recently launched in Korea
Used ones from 2022+ are going for around $25k on carsales. I was thinking of buying a used one of these. Older Intense of newer Zen models have bigger touch screen, self parking ( for the Mrs), sunroof and Autonomous braking. Or Peugeot 3008 ? How does these two compare?
Link? Does that model have self parking?
Zen 4x2
18" two-tone alloy wheels
R-LINK 2 8.7" touchscreen multimedia system with sat nav
black leather upholstery
heated front seats with electric adjustment for driver
powered hands-free tailgate
easy park assist hands-free parking system
Weak power outputs. A 2002 X-Trail had 132 kW / 245 Nm from the same 2.5L engine.
