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.

See full equipmentIf you want to keep costs down, Acenta Premium feels like a good compromise between price and equipment. It gets 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.
