Nissan X-Trail has had an interesting history particularly in the Indian car market. Introduced for the first time at the Indian shores in 2004, it appeared to be an impressive vehicle. However, gradually due to the endless number of low cost SUVs, its sales declined to such a level that ultimately it had to be withdrawn from the market. After being showcased at GIIAS in August, it was being anticipated that Nissan could re-introduce this car in India by the end of 2015, but some fresh reports suggest that it might mark its re-entry at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo.
