2. The X-Trail’s Bold Design and Strong Styling

The X-Trail, sculpted from steel and chrome, has a strong presence on the road.

The Power Panoramic Sunroof provides your passengers with enticing views of the sky as it opens all the way to the rear seats.

With the new X-Trail you have a choice between 17- and 19-inch alloy wheels. You also have a variety of exterior colours to choose from. The X-Trail has a new V-motion grille and bumper, redesigned headlamps and signature daytime running lights.

The new X-Trail also features integrated fog lamps in the front, while it has LED taillights in the redesigned rear bumper.

Although the X-Trail has some similarities to the Qashqai’s design, the Nissan X-Trail is visibly higher and longer elongated with the added option of a third row of seats.

The X-Trail will appeal more to those looking to explore the world outside of the city limits. The car has no sporty pretensions and is a refreshing alternative in a segment where SUVs are increasingly built to almost exclusively operate as road-going machines. The design seems to want you to think of the X-Trail as a 4×4, or at least a car with which you could confidently venture off the beaten track.

3. Our Nissan X-Trail’s Review: Impressive Interior

The X-Trail’s interior can be described as luxurious yet comfortable.

Its quality interior features a new, thicker, leather-clad, D-shaped steering wheel as well as quality materials used throughout the cabin, such as double-stitched leather seats.

The Nissan Connect centre console has an upgraded interface with a new glossy black trim with metallic accents.

The X-Trail’s interior is as practical as it is attractive, with a versatile seating system. 7 to 5 passengers can comfortably and safely fit into the cabin. The EZ Flex Seating System, allows you to lift a lever, slide and tilt the 2nd-row seat forward in one simple motion. Additionally, when you need more space in the boot for camping gear, sports equipment or anything else, the 2nd and 3rd-row seats easily fold down.

More significant changes await buyers when they climb through the large, wider-opening doors. Taking its design and materials directly from the new Qashqai, the cabin is now of the standard of the best vehicles in the compact-SUV segment. Soft-touch plastic is used extensively, buttons are large and clearly marked, and a touchscreen infotainment system is standard fitment. The seats are comfy (the second row can slide and recline), sightlines are decent (the wide A-pillars do create some blind spots) and space all-round abounds (except if you select the flagship LE model and its panoramic sunroof, which significantly robs rear headroom; versions without the glass panels have more clearance).

4. Nissan X-Trail’s Premium Equipment and Exciting New Features

The Nissan X-Trail’s technology elevates your driving experience.

From staying in touch with your loved ones to enjoying your favourite tunes, the X-Trail’s got you covered. The Advanced Drive-Assist Display includes turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth audio calls, safety sheets to check speed, fuel consumption and distance to empty, a compass, caller ID, and the ability to monitor drive modes.

The X-Trail’s boot has a Cargo System which adapts to your needs for your next adventure in an instant. It features a set of easily adjustable shelves and divider which offers you a variety of 9 configurations.

The X-Trail has a leather interior, and zero-gravity front seats which support you from your pelvis to your chest, resulting in a comfortable drive, with less fatigue on longer trips.

Additionally, you can have peace of mind with the X-Trail’s best in class warranty of 6 years/150,000 km and a 3 year/ 90,000 km service plan. 

5. The Nissan X-Trail Review on High Performance

Available in both petrol and diesel, the 2019 X-Trail offers award-winning engine choices that are reliable, powerful, and fuel-efficient.

Once you get behind the wheel of a Nissan X-Trail, you would most certainly see why it is known for its smooth driving that impresses over long and short journeys.

With its intelligence, dynamic driving tech, and intuitive 4×4 capabilities, the X-Trail is responsive and adaptable wherever you take it.

With 96 kW and 320 Nm, the 1.6-litre turbo diesel in the X-Trail is not the most powerful engine in the segment, but it never feels like it is underpowered. Turbo lag (the brief hesitation between throttle inputs and the actual delivery of acceleration) is ever-present, but in a certain way, the manual gearbox enables you to modulate throttle input mid-gear which allows the driver to surf the whoosh of the turbo rather than be overwhelmed by it.

The X-Trail allows you to save on energy with its electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission, with eco-mode. Or if you prefer driving manually, you can opt for the 6-speed manual transmission.

The Nissan X-Trail is equipped with Intelligent 4×4, which is a system that’s capable on- and off-road. You also have the option of choosing full-time 2WD for maximum efficiency. Auto Mode monitors terrain conditions and adjusts the power balance between the front and the rear wheels to optimise traction. 4WD lock Mode will keep you safe and efficient in challenging conditions.
