Nissan has lagged its rivals lately, with the ageing X-Trail family SUV trailing good quality options like the 2023 Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson and more.
But the new-generation 2023 X-Trail changes things up big time.
A completely overhauled interior, revised 2.5-litre engine and a big uptick in safety and technology features have all elevated the new X-Trail.
And this time around it will come with an ePower hybrid version too, already tested by CarsGuide.
But pricing is up across the X-Trail range, and not by an insignificant amount. Thankfully, the standard features has also expanded with the pricing.
But has Nissan done enough to ensure the X-Trail is once again considered a worthy competitor to those top-selling family SUVs?
Tim Nicholson has tested the new X-Trail at the Australian media launch to see where the new model stands in the pecking order.

Got the TI-L a couple weeks ago. Great car. Just did a 1300km trip from central Qld to Sydney and was impressed with the quietness and the fuel consumption. I got 6.7L/100K. ProPilot was great on the open road. Very comfy ride and got to the refreshed… and I suffer from back problems. Much more comfy than the X1 I did the trip in 2 years back.

@sitesize3031 17 дней назад

Just got myself one. Dunno if you are still happy. I suffer from back problems as well and (believe it or not) that was the reason I opted for this instead of RAV4. How did it go one year after? I'd appreciate your reply.

The PR25 isn't really a carry over, it's loosly based on the old QR25 but with a lot of changes.

My question is, can it be overtaken with the 163 hp gasoline engine?

@robertceroli3512 Год назад

Are they still the same CVT jatco or better known as crapco that have a habit of complete failure at around 140000km conveniently after warranty has well and truly expired

@richardfelixgoncalves4233 Год назад

Hi,good night here in Brazil! l understand one thing,you are sure that in the Australian market,that customers of another brand that the Nissan X-Trail think is simple,but let's see if this version of e-power get it will steal from outher mounts too,seeing is believing.

@phizzle24 Год назад

What is it with this semi-recent trend of AWD models having to be 7 seaters? Why can't the consumer have a choice of a 5 seater with AWD and hence more usable cargo area? I'd wager it would be the best seller in the range even at a lower trim grade.

@sheldonlea 11 месяцев назад

Agreed!

@marcusjackson4063 Год назад

Nice car! I still went for it’s twin the outlander. Bigger boot and I liked the styling more

@kanishkajayaweera7882 3 месяца назад

Unfortunately you got a wrong decision if you don't want 7 seats. Outlander is slightly bigger in size. but because of the clever interior design X-Trail has one of the biggest boots in it's category (585L) and it's bigger than the Outlander (578L) and ride quality is better, got bigger screens and feels premium than Outlander.

@madness8556 27 дней назад

@kanishkajayaweera7882 we just picked up an Outlander Aspire over an Xtrail STL that offered less equipment for roughly the same price with a larger 10.8 inch infotainment display, wireless phone charger and wireless Apple carplay, auto tailgate, built in native sat nav, and heads up display. The more generous Mitsubishi conditional 10 yeer warranty with cheaper capped price servicing at 15000km/12 months was the icing on the cake to get the Outlander. Saying all that, the newer Xtrail STL is still a great car and we would have seriously gone with it if it was more competitively priced.

@kanishkajayaweera7882 27 дней назад

@@madness8556 I own an X-Trail Ti-L with all the bells and whistles. It has a bigger infotainment screen, driver and HUD than any Outlander. So my point remains valid.

@madness8556 26 дней назад

@@kanishkajayaweera7882 I was referring to the STL which is closer to the Aspire. The TIL is very well equipped comparable to the Exceed Tourer. It's great to have choices and if it wasn't for the longer conditional Mitsubishi wwrrenty with cheaper capped price servicing every 15000km, we would have had a much tougher time deciding between the Outlander and the Xtrail!

@TenzWang88 Год назад

Toyota RAV4 hybrid XSE FWD for $53k whereas Nissan's xtrial STL-epowered hybrid AWD is $53k and way better premium interior than Toyota’s cheap plastic interior. Kia Sportage hybrid starts from 60k so Nissan is not more expensive than Kia and Hyundai right now.

@manal3660 10 месяцев назад

Am between it and RV4 till now icannot decide which one i will choose

@stephenberry8658 3 месяца назад

Drive both. If you can afford it go for the X Trail E Force sells itself. Refined, quiet, response, comfortable and well equipped

@kanishkajayaweera7882 3 месяца назад

Buy RAV 4 if you want very dated interior. But fuel economy wise RAV 4 is "slightly" better than an X-Trail. I don't know whether it's a meaningful difference or not.

@cheekong08 Год назад

I recently sold my T32 X Trail-am not a fan of the CVT. Initially it was bearable but over time it became annoying-the whining and always in the wrong gear ratio. Overall the car was so-so but it was let down by the inept engine, cranky CVT and eventually the ride quality went poopy. I'd like to love my X Trail but I keep getting disappointed.

Mine is good except for three failed front right wheel bearings, cam timing sensor, engine position sensor, seized cylinder head thermostat resulting in blown radiator, a crack down the middle of the windscreen when parked in a shopping centre car park, fuel pump failure and fuel gauge failure. Noisy cabin on the highway but other than that...OK. Oh! And water ingress through the tail light seal filling up the spare wheel area when it rained hard and failed serpentine belt tension bearing.

@kanishkajayaweera7882 3 месяца назад

Renault Koleos, Mitsubishi Outlander and Nissan X-Trail all based on new Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-CD platform. Under the skin same vehicle. but interior and exterior styling is very different. X-Trail has the best ride quality and premium features among its siblings and feel more refined vehicle.
