Used Nissan X-Trail 2014-present review

When it comes to choosing which engine is best for getting the Nissan X-Trail moving, stick with the 1.6 dCi. While it can feel a bit underpowered with seven on board, it's the most popular unit by far and in manual front-wheel drive form, the most economical.

If you need to go petrol, it’s the 1.6 DiG-T or nothing. This engine is quite economical and certainly more refined than the diesel.

Visia-spec cars come with all the basics such as air conditioning, alloy wheels and cruise control. Acenta trim ups the luxury levels to include dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors and a panoramic glass roof. N-tec adds sat-nav and larger alloy wheels, with the top-of-the-range Tekna getting leather upholstery.

We reckon you may as well stick with the Acenta, because it's still decently equipped and rides better due to its smaller alloy wheels.
