The model

Read full review

As a five-seater, the Nissan X-Trail is a spacious and comfortable cruiser. However, if you’re shopping for a seven-seater there are plenty of other options at around the same price that are more spacious and versatile. If you do buy an X-Trail, the front-wheel-drive e-Power in entry-level Acenta Premium trim offers the best value.

The trim

See full equipment

N-Connecta is our recommended trim level because it gives you lots of standard equipment while not breaking the bank. Opting for this trim adds a larger touchscreen infotainment system, wireless phone-charging, digital instrument dials, privacy glass and upgraded safety features. We wouldn’t recommend going any higher up the X-Trail ladder than this.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 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.
