Nissan X-Trail (2014 - 2022) 1.6 dCi Tekna 4WD (7 Seat) 5d Owner Review

Bought the car second hand from an independent dealer Very few issues with the car after nealy 30k miles in 2 years Surprisingly nippy around town despite being such a heavy/large car with a 1.6 diesel engine. Getting around 45 MPG on a mix of urban and motorway driving. Auto 4WD option really puts the power to the road well. Be warned that the transmission in the Automatic version is noticeably louder than the 2WD option, when driving over 40mph. You get used to it after while but something you should be aware of you you're not keen on listening to the radio while driving. Infotainment system is good, however will soon look & feel dated compared to the HD screens available on other cars. Excellent for towing, however be warned you'll have to go for the more expensive detachable towbar as a fixed bar will obscure the rear fog light which will fail MOT The 6th and 7th seats are very rarely used. If you are going to use them regularly, I would look elsewhere as they are very uncomfortable if you're going long distance. If you feel like you'd never use the extra rear seats, opt for the 5 seat option as you will get a lot more room in the boot. The overall look and feel of this car is excellent compared to the CRV, Tiguan and Sportages we tested before buying. Would recommend if you're looking for something similar but the brand new equivalents are out of your budget.
