The model
Read full Nissan X-Trail reviewAs 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 equipmentN-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 specsDespite being the most powerful version of the X-Trail and officially sprinting from 0-62mph in 7.0sec, the E-Power E-4orce doesn’t feel all that fast. It has plenty of oomph to get you up to speed on a motorway slip road, but we don’t think the power and grip benefits are really worth the extra investment.
