Exploring Three Popular Used Car Models: 2018 Nissan X-Trail Hybrid, 2011 Toyota Estima, and 2018 Nissan X-Trail Hybrid

At Car Empire, we understand the importance of choosing a vehicle that fits your lifestyle and needs. Today, we’re diving into three popular models available at our dealership in Ashmore, QLD, to help you decide which one is right for you. We'll also explain the import process for used cars, so you can understand how we bring high-quality vehicles from around the world to you.

2018 Nissan X-Trail SUV 20Xi Hybrid (T32)

The 2018 Nissan X-Trail 20Xi Hybrid is an excellent choice for those who want the versatility of an SUV combined with the efficiency of hybrid technology. The T32 model is designed for both urban and off-road adventures, making it a perfect option for families and weekend explorers.

Key Features:

  • Hybrid Powertrain: The hybrid engine offers a perfect blend of power and fuel efficiency, ensuring you save on fuel without sacrificing performance.
  • Spacious Interior: With ample legroom and cargo space, the X-Trail is perfect for long road trips or daily commutes.
  • Advanced Safety Features: Nissan’s suite of safety technologies, such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking, make the X-Trail a reliable and secure choice for families.

Whether you’re heading on a family vacation or navigating city streets, the 2018 Nissan X-Trail Hybrid combines comfort, performance, and eco-friendly driving.

2011 Toyota Estima People Mover Aeras G (AHR20W)

For those who need more space and versatility, the 2011 Toyota Estima Aeras G is a top choice. This people mover offers seating for up to eight passengers, making it an ideal option for larger families or those who need a vehicle for group transport.

Key Features:

  • Comfortable and Spacious: With its roomy cabin and comfortable seating, the Estima ensures everyone travels in comfort, whether it’s a short trip around town or a long drive across the state.
  • Dual Sliding Doors: The Estima’s convenient dual sliding doors make it easier for passengers to enter and exit, especially in tight parking spaces.
  • Efficient Performance: Despite its size, the Estima offers a reliable and fuel-efficient engine that ensures you can travel long distances without breaking the bank on fuel.

The Estima is a versatile and practical option for those who need a family vehicle that’s both comfortable and reliable for everyday use.

2018 Nissan X-Trail SUV 20Xi Hybrid (T32) (Again!)

Once again, we highlight the 2018 Nissan X-Trail SUV 20Xi Hybrid (T32), which offers the best of both worlds: fuel efficiency and robust performance. This model is a great all-rounder, offering a range of features that make it a favorite choice among used car buyers.

Why It Stands Out:

  • Hybrid Advantage: Enjoy reduced fuel consumption and fewer emissions with the X-Trail Hybrid, perfect for the environmentally-conscious driver.
  • Technology: The T32 comes equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera, enhancing your driving experience.

If you missed out on the first 2018 Nissan X-Trail Hybrid, here’s another chance to grab a reliable, spacious, and eco-friendly SUV that suits all your needs.

The Import Process at Car Empire

At Car Empire, we strive to provide high-quality used cars, including the Nissan X-Trail Hybrid and Toyota Estima, by sourcing vehicles from trusted international markets. Our import process ensures that every car we offer meets Australian standards for safety and quality. Here’s a look at how we bring these vehicles to you:

1. Vehicle Selection

We handpick vehicles from reputable overseas markets, such as Japan, based on criteria like condition, mileage, and model year.

2. Pre-Purchase Inspection

Before making any purchase, each vehicle undergoes a detailed inspection to ensure it meets our high standards. This includes a thorough check of the engine, transmission, interior, and exterior to guarantee that there are no hidden issues.

3. Customs and Compliance

Once the car arrives in Australia, we handle all the paperwork involved with customs clearance. We ensure the vehicle meets Australian Design Rules (ADR) and make any necessary modifications to comply with local regulations, including changes to the speedometer, headlamps, and emissions.

4. Roadworthy Inspection

Every vehicle undergoes a comprehensive roadworthy inspection before it’s available for sale. This ensures that the car is safe to drive and ready for registration.

5. Delivery to You

After passing the necessary inspections and complying with all regulations, the car is ready for you to take home. Whether you're located in Ashmore or elsewhere, we offer delivery options for your convenience.

At Car Empire, we make the import process seamless, ensuring that every vehicle we offer is ready to drive and meets Australian safety standards.
