Updated Nissan X-Trail gets semi-autonomous technology
The updated Nissan X-Trail SUV will launch this August with a refreshed look and Nissan's first phase of autonomous technology.
The facelifted Honda CR-V and Ford Edge rival will be available with Nissan’s Propilot 1 system, which can control the car's acceleration, brakes and steering on the motorway in relation to lanes and other cars, Autocar.co.uk reports.
The system, which was launched on the Japan-only Serena MPV last year, still requires drivers to maintain contact with the steering wheel and be ready to retake control should they need to.
Other driver assist programmes include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian recognition, as well as rear cross-traffic alert, which gives visual and audible warnings if the driver is about to reverse into oncoming traffic.
