New Nissan X-Trail: first drive - In the cabin

Most drivers will be comfortable in the X-Trail. The steering wheel moves for reach and height, while the driver's seat is supportive and provides a good range of height adjustment.

Thick pillars hinder the rear view slightly, but the view forward is excellent and raised lumps on the headlights help you to place the front of the car.

Space for four adults is good, but rear legroom isn't as generous as some rivals' and any central passenger will have to sit with their feet astride a raised floor section. The boot is very practical, however; it's large and its two handy underfloor areas are easy to access.

You can fold the rear seat flat, but you need to flip the base and remove the head restraints first.
