NISSAN is adding a range-topping X-trail model to its UK line up featuring a 165bhp 2.5-litre engine.

Available only in top-spec SVE trim, the new model will be priced at £20,495 on-the-road when it goes on sale in January. Elsewhere in the X-trail range, the SE+ model is deleted and replaced with the top-spec SVE badging. Also, Nissan's ESP+ system is available as a £750 option on diesel models.
