Released in September 2010, the Nissan T31 Series II (T31.II) X-Trail introduced a revised range, improved fuel economy and revised styling. The Nissan T31.II X-Trail could be identified by its more protruding bumper, new grille, headlights, LED tail-lights and new alloy wheel designs. Inside, there were improved materials, thicker seat fabrics, an easier-to-read instrument cluster and redesigned front seats for improved rear seat leg room. As part of the update, the 2.5-litre petrol-engined manual ST-L and Ti variants were discontinued. To improve fuel economy, the T31.II X-Trail introduced revised gear ratios, improved aerodynamics and an upgraded six-speed automatic transmission for the diesel engines (with a ‘near neutral’ position for when the vehicle was stationary).
