What does it cost?
For Nissan’s 170bhp diesel engine offers stacks of low-down pulling power and makes an ideal partner for the intelligent four-wheel-drive system. Even though it's the cheaper of the two trims, Acenta trim has climate control, alloy wheels, Bluetooth, cruise control and electric windows
Against Not a great deal, judged by the parameters of this class, although it’s not cheap to buy and its resale values aren't great.
What Car? says
This is a fine off-roader, and good enough to make the dearer Tekna model seem like a needless expense.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Nissan X-Trail buyers can choose from a 170bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine with a six-speed manual gearbox and a 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel with a six-speed automatic. Unless you need an auto, the 170bhp car makes more sense because it’s cheaper to buy and run, and its 266lb ft of muscle makes it seriously responsive.
There are two trims on offer, but even the cheaper Acenta car comes well equipped. You get climate control, alloy wheels, Bluetooth, cruise control, electric windows and a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system. Meanwhile, Tekna brings goodies such as satellite-navigation, electric and heated front seats, leather upholstery, a rear parking camera and metallic paint.
There are cheaper 4x4s out there, and the X-Trail doesn’t hold its value especially well, but try to get a decent discount from your dealer, which will help to offset those issues.
