	2WD mode AUTO mode LOCK mode 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes Excellent maneuverability

	The newly designed 4WD switch is easy to use and offers three driving modes to choose from. 2WD mode provides excellent fuel economy in normal, on-road driving conditions. In AUTO mode, sensors automatically detect the need for extra traction and distribute the appropriate torque between front wheel drive and full-time four-wheel drive. This mode locks the X-TRAIL in 4X4 with a fixed front-to-rear torque distribution ratio of 57:43 for added traction. X-TRAIL is the first vehicle in its class to have ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels. These brakes dissipate heat more rapidly for improved stopping power, less brake fade, and longer brake life. A minimum turning radius of just 5.3 meters (curb to curb) and responsive power steering provide excellent maneuverability.


	Performance
	The X-TRAIL may offer formidable 4X4 capabilities for wild terrain, but it's equally at home on the highway or city street. Thanks to the more powerful YD22DDTi intercooler turbo-diesel engine mated with a 6-speed manual transmission as well as the sophisticated suspension and quality engineering such exceptional soundproofing, the X-TRAIL provides you with supremely satisfying performance whether commuting or enjoying the wide, open road.
