Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Strong diesel engine on offer
  • Spacious and sophisticated interior design.
  • Bold looks with great road presence.
  • Big on boot space with more than 520 L of space.
  • Exceptionally well in terms of ride quality.
  • The 8-speed gearbox is quick in shifts.
  • Nissan X-Trail 1.5L 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine is one of the most refined 3-cylinder engine, which can outperform several bigger powertrains.
  • The X-Trail is a mechanically sorted vehicle that is definitely over-engineered to provide a class-apart experience.
  • The X-Trail is a strikingly beautiful SUV that, despite being a Japanese vehicle, resembles a European one.
  • This SUV has a great road presence, and in public, it will definitely get a lot of attention.
  • Despite being a 3-row, full-size SUV, the X-Trail achieves a mileage of 13.7 kmpl (ARAI), which is impressive considering its enormous size.
  • One of the best CVT gearboxes available in the market, it shifts quickly and doesn’t have the typical rubber-band effect that CVTs are known for.
  • Features like panoramic sunroof, 9 Inch infotainment display, dual zone climate control, three-driving modes, 12 Inch driver’s display, does elevate its rich experience.
  • The only vehicle with 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, which surprisingly doesn’t hinder ride comfort.
  • 585 liters of boot space with the third row folded, which is enough for all your luggage.
Cons
  • Body roll can be felt.
  • Riding at low speeds can be bumpy.
  • Engine NVH levels could have been improved
  • No petrol powertrain on offer
  • No 4X4 or AWD option is available.
  • Nissan X-Trail is a great SUV, but still, the Rs 49.92 lakh ex-showroom price isn’t justifiable, which is the paramount reason why it doesn’t sell enough.
  • Despite costing above Rs 50 lakh, X-Trail doesn’t offer ADAS, powered front seats, ventilated front seats, leather interior and powered tail gate.
  • A CBU unit means its parts won’t be easily available, and a local mechanic won’t be able to fix it if anything goes wrong.
  • Its 1.5L engine produces 163 PS and 300 Nm of torque, but the same power specifications are also available in cars priced around Rs 20 lakh.
  • The X-Trail is not an out-and-out 7-seater; it is a 5+2 seater, which means the third-row seats are only suitable for children.
  • The X-Trail offers only one engine, which is disappointing for diesel lovers. A hybrid option could have been offered for better fuel efficiency.
  • There’s no AWD on offer, and the X-Trail is FWD, so its off-roading capabilities are limited.

      Striking Design, Excellent Comfort and Superb to Drive. Easy to drive on the city roads and solid performance on the highways. Lacking basic features such as powered passenger seats and ventilated seats, since they claim comfort as their forte.

      the C5 Aircross fulfils its promise of being one of the most comfortable SUVs in its class, with a roomy boot and adequate, if not exceptional, rear seat space.

      I believe the C5 Aircross is overpriced in India. starting at 35 lakhs on the road and going all the way to 38 lakhs. People in this area prefer the basic models of the Endeavour or Fortuner over the C5 Aircross.
