Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Good Ride Quality
  • Looks Better Than Before
  • Well Priced
  • 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
  • Not too capable off the road
  • Regular variants not very powerful
  • 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.
