Re: So, who will be the first to up-grade?
Hi BigAl,
This was the case with the micra that you could not tow anything and not just that it had a low GVM. From memory you were hard pressed to fit four adults weight wise in the veh but you could legally carry five

I doubt that because it will be revealed for the first time in Australia at the Sydney International Motor Show which starts on the 11th of October and the new exy will not go on sale until November this year.
Most of the dealers are just guessing at this stage as to what features and capabilities of new xtrail will include, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got it wrong in regards to the towing capacity.
The new exy is heavier than the current model and has the same power ratio as the 2006 and up models (with dual cat. converters) so I can't see a reason why the towing capacity will drop.

it could very well drop due to the cvt. The murano cvt only has a towing capicity of 1500kg
That's true. Damn, this new exy looks like a lemon already

Yes Al, they're getting a look well before the motor show indeed, in fact it is already here in Australia, but they will only get their stock in November.
