The model
Read full Nissan X-Trail reviewThe 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.
The trim
See full equipmentTekna+ adds all the bells and whistles, taking all the Tekna trim’s equipment and adding an upgraded Bose stereo system with 10-speakers, 20in alloy wheels and premium leather seats. Like the Tekna trim, however, it’s too expensive to recommend.
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.
