Nissan to launch GT-R and X-Trail Hybrid in India

At this year’s Delhi Auto Expo Nissan announced it will bring its iconic GT-R sportscar and new X-Trail Hybrid crossover to India in the 2016 financial year. The GT-R will storm Indian shores in September 2016, while the new X-Trail Hybrid will follow before the end of the financial year. India will be the fourth market in the world after Japan, Thailand and Indonesia where Nissan will have introduced the X-Trail Hybrid.

Nissan’s flagship GT-R sportscar delivers blistering performance. It is equally at home in real-world driving conditions as it is on the racetrack where it has shattered numerous records. The current GT-R’s twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine produces 550PS and 632Nm of torqu. Its 0.26 drag coefficient, one of the best amongst supercars, helps the GT-R slice through the air efficiently.

The new Nissan X-Trail Hybrid will come to India as the market's first ever full hybrid SUV, and brings Nissan's latest hybrid vehicle technology to India for the first time. The car comes equipped with the 2.0-litre MR20 DD petrol engine twinned with an advanced 31kw electric motor that enables both driving and environmental performance. 

The X-Trail Hybrid delivers sprightly driving response right off the line due to the 2.0L engine. Intelligent Dual Clutch Control is Nissan's original, highly efficient hybrid system that drives the wheels and regenerates electricity by using one motor. With one of the two clutches completely separating the motor from the engine, the system enables EV mode driving in high-speed situations with highly efficient energy regeneration.
