PARIS, France (20 February) – The jury of the Women’s World Car of the Year
(WWCOTY) 2023 has awarded Nissan X-Trail the title of Best Large SUV 2023 for
its thirteenth edition.
WWCOTY, the only international award made up exclusively of women automotive
journalists, praised the new X-Trail for its spaciousness, effortless driving
performance and electrified powertrain, e-POWER.
Speaking about the accolade, Makoto Uchida, Nissan’s CEO, said:“We are
delighted that the jury of the Women’s World Car of the Year has awarded the
honour of best Large SUV to the Nissan X-Trail. The X-Trail is our family SUV icon,
with a heritage of over 20 years. It has remained true to its original recipe: robust
SUV looks, advanced and efficient all-wheel drive powertrains and flexible
practicality, which come together to enable family adventures. We took the voices
of our female customers into consideration throughout the design and
development process, so we’re particularly proud that the jury of eminent female
automotive journalists from all over the world has recognized the X-Trail’s
talents.”
Built on the Alliance CMF-C platform, the new X-Trail boasts of muscular design
and advanced technologies offering effortless EV drive feeling thanks to e-POWER
technology together with a twin-motor e-4ORCE all-wheel drive system. The new
X-Trail is available as a five- or seven-seater, offering a convenient option for days
out with extended family or friends. As an electrified seven-seater SUV, it is unique
in its segment.
e-POWER is Nissan’s innovative drive system that offers an EV-drive feeling
without the need to recharge. The new X-Trail's e-POWER system is comprised of
a high-output battery and powertrain integrated with a variable compression ratio
petrol engine, power generator, inverter and 150kW front electric motor. This
unique powertrain means that power to the wheels comes only from an electric
motor, which results in instant, linear response to the accelerator.
The X-Trail is one of Nissan’s most successful global vehicles, with sales in over
100 markets and has been enabling family adventures for over 20 years. fourth generation X-Trail draws from a well-established DNA that runs through all
three of the previous generations of X-Trail.
As a consequence of it being awarded Best Large SUV, the X-Trail has been
shortlisted for the highest award of the WWCOTY, Best Car of the Year 2023, to
be announced on 8 March.
