Good news first - The latest generation of X-trail will be India bound. Bad news as of now is there is no definite launch date. Will take the CKD route to start with and would contain cost rather than the CBU way.

The new X-trail is a long way away from the one I used to have years ago!

It's disappointing to see it losing it's off-road capability to the demand for soft-roaders, since I originally loved the older one for being a real off-roader. But I guess times are changing.

Glad they are retaining the brilliant intelligent 4WD system though.
