The N Connecta is missing (fake) leather, heated seats and steering wheel, which would be essential for us.
Yeah, that’s a bit of an odd one.
You can’t even add heated seats to an N Connecta, nor the leather seats. Heated seats are, to me, a pretty basic amenity nowadays – while i could understand to not add it as standard (although i do think it should be), to not offer it as an optional extra is odd. Especially considering that you still can order a Bose sound system, Glass roof or an entire third row of seats.
That would disqualify the X-Trail for us as well, since heated seats are mandatory.
