Nissan X-Trail News in Malaysia

Malaysia is one of a handful of countries that still offers the third-generation Nissan X-Trail (T32) while other markets offer its successor, the fourth-generation T33. Though the T33 made its debut in North America in 2020 as the Nissan Rogue, global sales began a year later. Besides Malaysia, the two biggest automotive markets in Southeast Asia have also yet to see the all-new X-Trail officially entering their markets. Following the closure of Nissan’s Indonesia plant in 2020, the outgoing T3

Let’s get one thing clear about vehicle ownership. Buying a car and maintaining a car are two very different aspects of the proprietorship experience… and the latter is something plenty of us are guilty of not factoring into the equation which can then become an expensive sum.
