The Nissan X-Trail is a spacious and comfortable cruiser with the option of seven seats and a competitive price tag. Its main issue is that plenty of price rivals are better at being a seven-seat SUV, offering even more space and versatility. If you do buy an X-Trail but don't need four-wheel drive, the front-wheel-drive e-Power in entry-level Acenta Premium trim offers the best value.
So far we’ve tried the E-Power engine with E-4orce four-wheel drive, but unless you're after the best version for towing, we reckon it’s worth sticking with this 201bhp two-wheel drive version, which manages 0-62mph in 8.0sec.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
