Di\u00e9 wat Nissan\/Datsun uit vergange dae ken, weet dat perde uit hierdie stal saam met die vinniges kon hardloop, lang asems het en ook saam met die trekperde voor \u2019n swaar gelaaide wa hul ding kon doen. <\/p>\n
Betroubaarheid en bruikbaarheid was een van die dinge wat jy met die rooi-en-wit-logo verbind het. Boonop is daar verskeie lande, onder meer Australi\u00eb, waar die Nissan Patrol onder die \u201cregte\u201d 4×4\u2019s die topverkoper is! Dit laat \u2019n mens dink.<\/p>\n
Met die bekendstelling van die Nissan X-Trail \u2019n dekade of wat gelede het hy onmiddellik goed verkoop, in albei sy 4×2- en 4×4-weergawes en ook in diesel- en petrolweergawes. <\/p>\n
Nadat ek een van die dieselmodelle toetsbestuur het, het ek kort daarna \u2019n ander, meer modieuse en heelwat duurder 4×4 getoets en die opmerking gemaak dat die meer sierlike wa nog beter sou wees as hy die X-Trail se turbodieselenjin onder die enjinkap gehad het.<\/p>\n
Die ou bekende, vierkantige en doelmatige X-Trail het nou plek gemaak vir die nuwe vaartbelynde, meer verfynde bakwerk wat van buffer tot buffer nuut is. Jy kan nou maar eenmaal nie teen verandering stry nie.<\/p>\n
In \u2019n goeie sin bedoel: Vaal Floors het nou \u2019n Blink Stefaans geword!<\/p>\n
Die platform waarop die nuwe X-Trail gebou is, is dieselfde as di\u00e9 van die Qashqai en dit het Nissan in staat gestel om hom langer en bre\u00ebr as sy voorganger te maak; die as-afstand is met 75 mm verleng en verskaf nou groter stabiliteit teen ho\u00eb snelhede. Wat gaaf is, is dat die X-Trail die grondvryhoogte van sy voorganger, wat 209 mm is, behou het. Ondanks die groter bak weeg hy 90 kg minder danksy die gebruik van ho\u00ebsterkte-staal. <\/p>\n
Ons toetsmodel was die 2.0 TX-petrolmodel, een van die vyf basiese weergawes van hierdie reeks. Hy is ook beskikbaar met vyf of sewe sitplekke en is in hierdie opsig \u2019n ware gesinsvoertuig. Hoewel die \u201cintreemodel\u201d \u2019n handratkas het, is hy baie goed toegerus met talle eienskappe wat by meer luukse voertuie aangetref word.<\/p>\n
Die lys is lank en ons noem net die belangrikste: spoedbeheer, uitstekende klankstelsel met handvrye bloutandbystand vir di\u00e9 wat lang selfoongesprekke op pad voer, al die soorte koppelings vir musieklyste en dies meer. En wat betref die veiligheidseienskappe is die lys volledig: ses lugsakke, ABS, EBD en VDC.<\/p>\n
Van die werking van hierdie elektroniese hulpmiddels kan op die klein skermpie in die paneelbord gemonitor word; die oomblik dat daar teen \u2019n ho\u00eb snelheid om draaie gery word, word die padgedrag aangedui. Fassinerend! (Nissan noem dit \u201cAdvanced Drive-Assist Display\u201d). <\/p>\n
Boonop is die outomatiese daglig-ryligte natuurlik ook \u2019n veiligheidseienskap omdat die voertuig soveel meer sigbaar is, veral as dit \u2019n kleur het wat maklik teen die agtergrond van \u2019n teerpad versmelt. <\/p>\n
Praktiese en nuttige dinge is die wegtrekbeheer teen opdraandes en die ten volle verstelbare stuurwiel waarin kort en lang bestuurders die ideale bestuursposisie gaan vind. Ouer bestuurders, en di\u00e9 wat nog oefen om hul bestuurderslisensie te kry, sal veral hou van die wegtrekhulp! <\/p>\n
Die spaarwiel is volgrootte en nie een van die Mariebeskuitjies wat by sommige super-luukse mededingers gekry word nie. Hier het Nissan sinvol gedink. <\/p>\n
Die enjin is die deeglik beproefde 1 997 cc-enjin wat 106 kW teen 6 000 rpm ontwikkel en 200 Nm teen 4 400 rpm aan die bestuurder beskikbaar stel om maklik nie teen \u2019n redelike bult spoed te laat verloor nie. Krag word na die voorwiele deur \u2019n gladde, sesgangratkas oorgedra.<\/p>\n
Volgens Nissan is hy in staat om die naald by 183 km\/h te laat draai en van wegtrek af in net meer as 11 sekondes die naald op 100 km\/h te sit. Vir alledaagse brandstofverbruik word 8,3 F<\/span>\/100 km as realisties bereken met \u2019n minimum van 6,6 F<\/span>\/100 km op die oop pad. <\/p>\n Gedrag op alle paaie, van goeie teer tot rowwe sinkplaat, is uitstekend. Hiertoe dra die 17-duim-bande by met genoeg rubber om as veringmiddel te help. (Wanneer gaan van die ander vervaardigers besef laeprofielbande is NIE vir grondpaaie bedoel nie? Is voorkoms werklik alles?)<\/p>\n Die X-Trail is moontlik nie Nissan se topverkoper nie maar pas netjies in die modelreeks wat hulle aanbied, van ligte bakkies tot ernstige 4×4\u2019s, van \u2019n intreemodel-Datsun tot werklik vinnige renperde. Boonop het dit nou onlangs bekend geword dat Mercedes-Benz in samewerking met Nissan die bakkiemark wil betree. Hoef daar nog iets ges\u00ea te word?<\/p>\n Die 2.0 TX-petrolmodel verkoop teen R237 700 waarby \u2019n diensplan van 5 jaar of 90 000 km en \u2019n waarborg van 6 jaar of 150 000 km. Diensintervalle is 15 000 km.<\/p>\n \u2013 Galimoto Media<\/i><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Di\u00e9 wat Nissan\/Datsun uit vergange dae ken, weet dat perde uit hierdie
