The model
Read full Nissan X-Trail reviewAs large SUVs go, the X-Trail is a spacious, comfortable and quiet cruiser, with the option of seven seats. The e-Power hybrid system brings smooth driving manners, if not miraculous fuel economy figures. The main issue is that for similar money there are plenty of rivals that are better at being a seven-seat SUV, offering even more space and versatility.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you want to keep costs down, Acenta Premium feels like a good compromise between price and equipment. It takes all the equipment of Visia but adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring, front parking sensors, a rearview camera and keyless entry.
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.
