Nissan X-Trail GT PNT30

The Nissan X-Trail GT PNT30 takes the original X-Trail’s practical SUV body and adds one of Nissan’s most unusual factory performance engines: the 2.0L turbocharged SR20VET. Producing 206 kW (280 PS), the Japanese-market GT combines strong turbo performance with all-wheel-drive versatility and a four-speed automatic transmission.
