Nissan X-trail 2.5L S 4WD 5 Seats

Not recommended; my new X-Trail got an issue with the engine when driven 70k and fully serviced by the agent. It needs to replace the head gas kit. Service-wise also very bad.

I bought the Nissan X-Trail because I needed something larger for family outings and trips across the Emirates. The space inside is the real winner for me, kids sit comfortably at the back, and the boot takes in shopping bags, strollers, or even luggage for a weekend away to Fujairah. The driving is smooth and the higher seating position makes me feel more confident on the road. The 4x4 mode is handy if you want to take it a bit off-road, though it’s not a hardcore desert basher.

The Nissan X-Trail has been with me for more than 6 months now and it's serving me well. It provides ample space for all of us and all our baggage, and weekend excursions are easy and convenient. The ride is smooth, and the vehicle has good handling on highways and urban roads. The touchscreen and the controls are user-friendly, and the safety features put me at ease. It's not powerful, but it's comfy and reliable, which are what I prefer for family driving. X-Trail is a sensible option if you're looking for a comfortable and easy-to-drive SUV for daily use.

The Nissan X-Trail apart from design, interior and look is a good SUV that offers very good overall performance. A robust powertrain with the refined 2.5-liter engine, high 188hp of power and 244 Nm of impressive torque make you drive with breeze and very well handling with effortless CVT transmission. Good part is the SUV is available in ]2WD and AWD configurations, catering to diverse driving needs, especially, we want fun driving. Good acceleration, high top speed and reasonably good mileage makes the X-Trail practical choice for both urban commutes and long-distance adventures in the UAE.

The X Trail SUV from the Nissan is actually very underrated but well-equipped and perfectly all-rounder. It blends well the performance, comfort, and also latest features too. The X Trial’s 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine is quite proven in UAE, producing solid 161hp of power, well tuned to the CVT and comes with standard front-wheel drive. Similarly, another USP of this SUV is the spacious interior, with seating for up to 7 passengers, and the features like a large panoramic sunroof and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes it very functional in today’s connectivity point of view.

Without offending anyone, I consider the X Trail below average SUV in the segment. And, this is such an example that indicates how Nissan is poorly spread in terms of its product strategy, they desperately need to upgrade their dated cars, X Trail being one among them. Nothing great to offer, same old design, the powertrain isn’t that exciting and feature wise, they are not matched to the Koreans, in the same price segment. Given the customer preference and choices products like X Trail will find it hard to gain market share.

There are quite a few eminent qualities that can easily captivate its target audience pretty spontaneously. That is how I perceived the model when I first came across this. The hybrid SUV will benefit you by rewarding heaps of space within. No matter whether you drive the same within the town or via any motorway the silent engine of the vehicle will always enchant your driving experience. I am sure many of you will also go for this due to its unparalleled comfort factor. Though this model is not so refined in certain areas and that should get upgraded at the earliest.

Being an off-road enthusiast I purchased the Nissan X-Trail as I had heard a lot about it. I was surprised by this vehicle’s excellent seating position. When I lower the seat I feel more integrated into it, while still offering a clear view of the road ahead. For better control, it comes with a higher-set steering wheel. The cabin feels very quiet, and a sporty touch is added by the paddle shifters, although most drivers may not prefer to use them unless they are overtaking on the highway. The engine is naturally aspirated and during sustained acceleration can get noisy, especially when climbing hills.

I recently test drove the X Trail, and honestly, I have a slightly underwhelming impression overall. Why so? Firstly, I think the car is underpowered by its seven seat confirmation. The 180 hp petrol engine appeared smooth but not very refined and felt quite insufficient since I wanted a more powerful SUV for our family. Additionally, Nissan offers a number of features on the X Trail but I feel again not enough given the price point, and the market has several compelling options that promise both higher power and segment best features.

After relocating to an area known for its diverse terrain, I started looking for a vehicle that could handle both off-road trails and city streets. Enter the Nissan X-Trail, recommended by a local outdoor enthusiast. Its intuitive all-wheel-drive system and capable performance have allowed me to explore the challenging landscapes with utmost confidence. Despite being a large car, its body roll is minimal on twisty roads, but unfortunately, the steering doesn’t have a huge amount of feedback. Due to its generous suspension travel, it absorbs potholes and bumps effortlessly.
