The model
Read full Nissan X-Trail reviewAs a five-seater, the Nissan X-Trail is a spacious and comfortable cruiser. However, if you’re shopping for a seven-seater there are plenty of other options at around the same price that are more spacious and versatile. If you do buy an X-Trail, the front-wheel-drive e-Power in entry-level Acenta Premium trim offers the best value.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you’re after luxuries, Tekna is the first place that you want to look. This trim adds larger 19in alloy wheels, a power tailgate, a head-up display, heated front and rear seats, electronically adjustable front seats with memory function and 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats. It’s expensive, though, and hard to recommend.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level mild hybrid engine has 161bhp for a 0-62mph sprint in 9.6sec. It’s powerful enough, but a hesitant gearbox and noisy engine make this nowhere near as smooth to drive as the e-Power alternatives.
