This powerful 5.0-liter engine features both port and direct fuel injection. In addition, this V8 is paired with a high-output electric-drive motor, giving the LS 600h L a total 438 system horsepower (Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease, and a 0-to-60 time of a mere 5.5 seconds (Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by professional drivers using special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt)

Direct Injection

With this direct injection system, a more effective mixture of air and fuel is attained. This boosts overall power. Plus, with the extra control over the air/fuel ratio, mileage is also improved. This system, in conjunction with traditional port injection, helps to achieve a smoother running engine and improved drivability.

EV mode (CAUTION! When driving a hybrid vehicle, pay special attention to the area around the vehicle. Because there is little vehicle noise in electric-only mode, pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle starting off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving) allows the vehicle to operate at low speeds on the electric motor alone and will not use the gasoline engine. This technology has two major benefits: low noise and zero emissions. Maximum driving distance for EV mode is approximately one-half of a mile, depending on battery charge and driving conditions.

Braking

The braking system on the LS 600h L features four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and Electronic Controlled Braking (ECB), which is a vital component of the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system. A sensor detects the brake-pedal position and activates the master cylinder accordingly. Both the front and rear brakes are ventilated to help provide superior stopping performance.

Performance drivers may wish to consider the available high-friction brake pads (available with the Active Power Stabilizer Suspension System). They yield a higher coefficient of friction on the rotors to help provide better braking response.

The LS 600h L also includes a brake hold system that, when activated, helps hold the vehicle in place after a complete stop—without requiring the driver to keep their foot on the brake pedal. This helps prevent the LS 600h L from creeping forward or backward when stopped.

Also noteworthy is the electronic parking brake, which is activated the moment the vehicle is placed in Park. As soon as the driver shifts into any other gear, the parking brake is automatically released.

Year 2010 was widely used several car manufacturers in Indonesia to launch some of their latest products to be sold in the Indonesian market. Like Mazda, Hyundai, Ford, Nissan and several other manufacturers are already preparing to launch its new product.

Car manufacturers who are not foreign like Toyota that have new products such as Vios TRD, Kijang Innova facelift, Avanza and Rush E automatic G / S automatic. There's the Honda CR-V, which is planned facelift in early 2010. While Suzuki will introduce their latest products pretty much like Splash, Kizashi, the Grand Vitara a full spec, New APV Arena, SX4 facelift, facelift Swift.

Mazda launched the Mazda 2 in 2009, is also preparing for its newest products with the Mazda 2 with a variant of sedan, scheduled to be introduced in the second half of this year.

Nissan has recently launched a new variant of the product line-up X-Trail, Nissan X-Trail is 2.0 which consists of 2 versions, the standard edition and NISMO Limited Edition. Are both equipped with QR20DE engines, 1998cc 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve CVTC, manual transmission, the performance of the vehicle is quite steady. I myself chance to try to test drive version of the NISMO Limited Edition.

There is no striking difference from the standard with NISMO Limited Edition, only NISMO version is equipped with a body kit, exhaust tip, and the emblem "NISMO" in the rear and front bumper, leather upholstery and striping sticker - the first thing I come off if I buy version NISMO

In terms of the interior, there is a fairly significant change in the dashboard, which still adheres to the flow center-facia. The most obvious is the black-meter dash (in version 2.5 is white), the hole where the AC and coolbox. Also equipped with 2-din DVD Player JVC brand complete with Monitor. Unfortunately still not equipped with optitron.

In terms of pengendaran and handling, this vehicle is quite responsive, even better than version 2.5 (automatic-transmission) it; also equipped with standard ABS and EBD as supporting features airbag safety. As for petrol consumption, can not comment - but should be more efficient compared to its version 2.5.

As for comfort, the interior is quite spacious, for the driver and the gear lever position ergonomic enough (especially for the size XL like me), as well as passengers who sit in the middle seat can sit comfortably. To carry the goods - the rear cabin can be formed in real-flats with ease with a configuration that can be tailored to the needs. To be sure, can contain 1 unit size mountain bike 26 "with ease without having to take off his wheels

In terms of price, the X-Trail 2.0 standard version released at a price (On-the-Road) IDR 238 million and NISMO version released with the price of IDR 247.5 million. Ask about discounts, back again , the answer is: not yet exist.

When compared with the New Grand Vitara, - image Nissan X-Trail is quite good, quite best resale value, design a fairly long-lasting, also the completeness and features that have led to the New Grand Vitara facing a pretty tough opponent. I myself if had to choose between New Grand Vitara or the X-Trail, frankly,tempting to move to another heart
