What Car? says
For Good to drive; refined; decent off-road performance
Against Limited rear legroom; some reliability issues
Verdict Chunky yet comfortable
Go for… 2.0dCi 148 Sport
Avoid… 2.5i Aventura
- 1. This second-generation X-Trail looks like it's more evolution than revolution when compared with the original, but don’t be fooled – it’s actually an all-new model
- 2. The range was face-lifted in late 2010, with revisions to the front lights and grille, plus a slight change to the engine line-up.
- 3. Diesel is the best option, and there are two 2.0-litre engines to choose between. The 148bhp version is easier to live with, while the 171bhp model is far more flexible and better at low revs
- 4. The diesels are far more efficient than petrols, with the 148bhp model averaging 39.8mpg and emitting 190g/km of CO2, while the 171bhp version averages 38.2mpg and emits 198g/km
- 5. Short, stop-start journeys can cause the diesel particulate filter to clog, because the engine never reaches the correct operating temperature
