OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — radiator grille (aftermarket) Van Wezel 3372510 / Diederichs 6087841

Accuracy note: Covers the Nissan X-Trail (T32 2014-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Grilles are sold by trim and facelift, and many generations had different grilles for base, mid and top trims, with or without a radar or camera opening. Where the catalogue splits a grille into left and right or upper and lower sections, buy both halves if both are damaged. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives; carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so match a genuine grille against your VIN if you want a guaranteed fit.

Radiator grille (aftermarket)	Van Wezel 3372510 (to 2017); Diederichs 6087841 (black); Diederichs 6087842 (chrome/black)
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine grille varies by trim level, facelift and sensor options, so order it against your VIN

A Genuinely Significant Finding Worth Knowing About the Radar System — Nissan X-Trail Grille

This is genuinely worth knowing if you're chasing a radar sensor fault that keeps recurring: Nissan has confirmed a real issue affecting the same underlying Bosch-sourced radar module technology used across its "Intelligent Safety Shield" system on multiple models globally, where a hardware flaw allows the sensor to frequently deactivate itself, disabling both adaptive cruise control and forward emergency braking together. It's genuinely worth asking a dealer directly whether this specific hardware issue applies to your car.

A genuinely useful, free fix worth checking has been applied: a documented software update specifically for the radar and forward emergency braking system has been made available free of charge through Nissan dealers. If your car has never had this update applied, it's genuinely worth asking a dealer to check before assuming a hardware fault.

It's also worth knowing the handbook itself acknowledges that radar-based systems can genuinely deactivate in heavy rain, snow, or fog as an expected limitation, not a fault.

Nissan X-Trail Grille: Cosmetic on the Surface, Functional Underneath

The front grille on the Nissan X-Trail does more than shape the car's face — it manages airflow to the radiator and, on many modern cars, houses or surrounds sensors for adaptive cruise control or parking assistance, meaning the correct part depends on more than just how it looks.

Before you buy: grille design varies significantly by trim, and higher trims may integrate radar or camera sensors behind or within the grille itself. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Nissan X-Trail Grille: What It Does

Beyond styling, the grille on the X-Trail directs airflow to the radiator and, on trims equipped with adaptive cruise control, may house or sit directly in front of the radar sensor used for that system. A grille that looks compatible but lacks the correct sensor cutout can interfere with these systems even if it fits physically.

Nissan X-Trail Grille: Generations, Derivatives & Grille Finish

Standard trims	V-Motion grille finished in chrome
N-Sport (gun metallic)	Genuine colour-coded front grille confirmed as a real trim-specific option — the silver N-Sport colourway does not get this treatment, only the gun metallic version
Midnight Edition	Black V-Motion grille genuinely exists as a factory option on later model years, confirmed by owners sourcing the specific part number for retrofitting to earlier cars
