Nissan goes N-Trekking

Nissan Australia is offering limited-edition 'N-Trek' versions of its X-TRAIL, Pathfinder and Y61 Patrol SUVs fitted with a range of genuine accessories for free.

Available to order by the end of September, the models are claimed to add between $2400 and $6000 worth of free additions.

Opening the line-up is the X-TRAIL N-Trek, which adds a claimed $2400 of accessories including an alloy nudge bar, side steps, roof bars, bonnet protector, rear carpet mats and N-Trek badging.

Pricing is unchanged from the three 4x4 petrol automatic five-seat models on which they're based – $33,980 plus on-road costs or $35,990 drive-away for the entry-level ST, $39,490 plus ORCs for the mid-range ST-L and $45,190 for the top-spec Ti.

There's also the Pathfinder N-Trek, available in three seven-seat AWD V6 petrol auto guises and adding a technology pack worth a claimed $2600 and featuring a 13-speaker sound system, blind-spot monitoring, 360-degree camera and satellite-navigation.

Once again, pricing is unchanged from their donor models, including the ST at $44,490 plus ORCs or $46,990 drive-away, the ST-L at $56,590 plus ORCs and the Ti at $65,090 plus ORCs.

The GU-series Nissan Patrol ST rounds out the N-Trek range, priced at $55,990 drive-away – $1400 less than the list price of the ST diesel manual on which it's based, with an automatic transmission adding $3000.

In addition, Nissan claims more than $6000 worth of extras, including a steel bullbar, electric winch kit, tow bar kit, smoked bonnet protector, driving lights, all-weather floor mats and N-Trek badging.
