Nissan X-Trail (2014 - 2022) N-Vision dCi 177 4WD Xtronic auto (7 Seat) 5d Owner Review

We Wanted a practical big family car, which it is. All round camera and auto is what the wife wanted and that’s what she got. The auto is very loud and sounds like it’s slipping all the time, if you floor it from stand still it sounds like an 80’s transit van!! My wife is happy with the car for Now but I think the nasty engine noise will soon start to annoy her and I am readying myself for the moaning. It’s huge inside and has good visibility all round. My children love listening to music and I’m afraid the stereo is terrible. The ford offering in my fiesta van sounds much better. Also no speakers in my model for the back 2 seats so my youngest can hardly hear anything! Not good on a 5 hour drive to south coast. Fit and finish is as expected in a car in this price range. It looks brilliant and I love the wheels but I signed a lease deal without test driving which I now regret and I am stuck with it for 2 years! All in I wouldn’t have one again. If they had put a quieter engine in I think the package would have been much better. Make sure you test drive the diesel before you decide as it really is stupidly noisy compared to all the competitors which for a big family car that may take you miles, it is just unacceptable.
