Nissan X-TRAIL
The Nissan X-Trail has been a solid choice ever since the boldly angular first-generation model was launched back in 2000.
The 2007 second-generation X-Trail was an extensive facelift but stuck with a traditional boxy 4WD design. The 2013 third-generation X-Trail benefiting from an all-new chassis shared with its Renault Koleos cousin, while the exterior styling adopted the more popular and rounded SUV approach.

About the Nissan X-Trail
The Nissan X-Trail has been a solid choice ever since the boldly angular first-generation model was launched back in 2000.
The 2007 second-generation X-Trail was an extensive facelift but stuck with a traditional boxy 4WD design. The 2013 third-generation X-Trail benefiting from an all-new chassis shared with its Renault Koleos cousin, while the exterior styling adopted the more popular and rounded SUV approach.
For 2022, a new, fourth-generation Nissan X-Trail arrives with a tautly designed midsized SUV.
For now, there’s just one engine and transmission available. The evolved 2.5-litre petrol engine sees power bumped up by 8kW to 135kW, driving a continuously variable transmission.
Go for the entry-level ST and ST-L grades and you get to choose between five seats and front-wheel drive, or seven seats and an all-wheel drive layout. The upper-spec Ti and Ti-L variants are both five-seat, all-wheel drive models.
If that’s not enough, Nissan has shown the X-Trail e-Power 1.5-litre hybrid and the e-4orce all-wheel-drive hybrid in Japan, with the upper Ti and Ti-L variants expected to offer a hybrid alternative here in 2023.
Rival models are numerous, and include the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Toyota RAV4.
