i currently own 2016 nissan xtrail 2.0 2wd . advantage i own this car is : 1) has 5+2 seats 2) the quality ride and handling is quite good and excellent disadvantage this car is : 1)if you drive very fast it will consume a lot of fuel tbh... 2)only has 2 airbag
As of present time, it is 73,800 with 45k milage on carlist. Very tempted to vs the 2016 cx5 . The cvt is slow reaction but i liked my sylphy after driving it for some time. No gear jerking, good for baby.
What body kits is that called buddy I have a Nissan X trail 1.6 2017 and have been looking for nice body kits and yours looks the best I've seen in my search for kits
I hate to say this Bobby but the interior quality is typical Tan Chong.. See that x-trail against Nissan livina from 2009..you'll find similar quality and I believe Nissan in Japan or other important market such as USA will hv better quality than this.
I think the interiors are ok, about the par for the price point. What I cannot stand is the CVT gearbox, lots of droning sound but no power. Ok for city drive but not for long distance or going uphill fully loaded. The 2 airbags is also a joke.
hi bobby.. waiting you to analyse a new face-lift nissan xtrail 2019.. your opinion about the upgrading this xtrail.. could you make a comparison between this new xtrail 2019 with crv, x70 and cx5.. tq
Bobby! Been following your videos for sometime, a question out of context tho, very hard decision I'm making thus far. VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1.4TSI 2017 Or HONDA CIVIC 1.5T 2017 Which one is a better car overall, hope you see this!
Very hard to argue with the Civic's space. It's huge. But the rear seats are very low, if you have old folks, very hard for them to get up. Both handling and power output is equally matched now, sound proofing as well. Suspension pliancy Jetta seems a tad more composed, infotainment system is very personal, i find Jetta's a little bit more polished, and in terms of transmission, DSG is just a joy compared to CVT. And lastly, the Jetta is like the Audi A4 1.4 TSI that's fully equipped and RM80k lesser. Lastly, if I want to veer off from talking just about the car, Honda has a huge service network, and lastly, Civic is the car with the highest resale value. Still, there are people who prefers to drive a German car for the way they behave on highway, highspeed and then give up everything else. For me personally, even though the Civic's CVT is one of the best ones out there (alongside Subaru's) at the end of the day it's still a CVT.
Bobby Ang thank you for this thorough review, but in terms for bang for buck, which car would you recommend? In terms of looks, I think it's to each its own with the civic having a more aggressive stance (full LED vs Bixenon headlamps) but on weekend spirited drives I feel the Jetta being more of a stronger car to push up genting. the dilemma is real.
Eugene Yeo I owned a civic tc. and droved jetta for a day. for overall value. civic is the choice. CVT driving doesn't give u too much exciting feels but the 1.5turbo doesn't feel bad either . just go test drive 2 car in full acceleration and u can make a decision .
+Eugene Yeo the only advantage of the jetta is the dsg. Civic handles superbly too and is more powerful lol ... the cvt is one of the best too. Clever. But cant run away from rubber band effect at times
of all videos that i've watched. this falls under the boring category. Maybe it's just the car alone. i think the plastic really reminds me of 2005 toyota vios
I felt a bit bored also ... lol but to be fair, the front dashboard is certainly soft touch plastics. It comes equipped with all electronic safety features (Don't go into semi-autonomous tech level like that of the CRV or the iActiveSense) and a 360º camera that's it, and the exta two seats at the back. :p
If you're ok with a 5 seater SUV, then this car ranks behind the Tiguan or the CRV or the CX5 etc. If you need a 7 seater (like most Malaysians) hence why this car is the best selling mid sized SUV last year.
I like to think the only reason why this outsold the crv and cx5 last yr was due to people holding back their purchase of those models as their fmc model was unveiled last yr.
+mystvearn83 yeah man.... always forgot about the Korean's pricing cos the Santa Fe and Sorento are full sized SUVs... everytime talking about mid size thought of Sportage and Tucson only
You are right Bobby. The steering is vague. It has only 2 airbags, The bonnet vibrates at idling. Torque only came in around 3000 rpm. But people still buy. Why? Because it is good looking, comparatively cheap and offer 7 seats. The 2.0L 2WD is selling at RM136,000. This Impul version is ugly. The skirting looked sooo after market stick on. The rims also not nice. If you care to observe, most of the X-Trails on the road are 2.0L 2WD not the 4WD version, To me it makes perfect sense to offer 2WD as these urban SUVs almost never venture off road and there is no snow or ice on Malaysian roads. Driven sanely as the vehicle was designed (as family carrier) it can achieved 14 km/ltr on average. So CVT is economical if driven as it meant to be . If you want a sporty SUV buy a CX5 or Evogue or Cayenne! The latest Honda CRV do not offer 7 seats as they claimed according to their survey, Malaysians who buy CRVs do not need 7 seats! Anyway the shape is ugly almost like the previous model. The rear door is steeply raked like a van. If the design was for a sporty 5 seater, the rear should be gently raked like the Lexus RX You forget to mention that other than the Outlander, the Korean duo, Sorento and Santa Fe are also 7-seaters, But these 3 vehicles do not have a 2.0L 2WD option and thus more expensive and as a result do not sell as well as the X-trail.
+Azmi Ibrahim yeah i always forgot about the two big boys because they are full sized but pricing similar. When we mentioned mid size always think Tucson and Sportage.
Azmi Ibrahim Sorento/Sportage is even better. The right rival of this Xtrail is Sportage GT and it beat the Xtrail in term of design, driving experience and also features
Sold CRV 2.4 to buy XT2.5 Impul. Plus pts = no shift shock, no cabin rattles, no leaky trans like my CRV, video in motion, etc. Negatives = everyone said to buy new CRV turbo!
This review is too boring not like others. Maybe Bobby also feels no excitement (maybe little) excitement and just following the request from other viewers. Or maybe Nissan are not my favourite cars including their SUVs. The worst design for me is Nissan Almeera.
Ahh... this car is really... such a failure... what is this car good in? I would afraid... nothing.... all round plastics , ugly exterior... last row very cramped up.. what's good..........
Syed Adri for me cars that above rm100k should get 6 airbags as standard but this Xtrail only gives 2. Family car should get 6 airbags, just like the Sorento
So I had the chance to test drive this X-Trail against its competitors, the CR-V, CX-5, and Sportage. My verdict: it is beyond doubt the worst of the lot, there is nothing impressive about it, the build quality is just mind-blowingly stupid, and the car itself is a complete joke given that it is the only one with 2 airbags and it so sluggish with prominent noise in the cabin. The only selling point for some people could be the two seats. Otherwise, both the CX-5 and Sportage are a way better choice.
i currently own 2016 nissan xtrail 2.0 2wd .
advantage i own this car is :
1) has 5+2 seats
2) the quality ride and handling is quite good and excellent
disadvantage this car is :
1)if you drive very fast it will consume a lot of fuel tbh...
2)only has 2 airbag
Agreed. The car has its good points. And thanks for pointing out the fuel consumption part.
As of present time, it is 73,800 with 45k milage on carlist. Very tempted to vs the 2016 cx5 . The cvt is slow reaction but i liked my sylphy after driving it for some time. No gear jerking, good for baby.
The sorento comes with 7 seater..and a nice 2.2 Diesel Engine..
Colin Ng agree. Sorento is really a family car!
at the moment , best bang for the buck is Subaru Forrester for 5 seater and Kia Sorento 2.2 diesel for 7 seater( although is very low spec)
unfortunately this xtrail just has 2 airbag only
syamil ashari if had at least 6 i would have bought, but i chose subaru forester which has 7
yup i agree with you and would been better if forester has 7 seater too!!!
to many airbags is bad they throw shrapnel ive been there done that.
D Teague ohh really !!??because many consumer really to buy a car that has 6 airbags instead of 2 or 4 airbag
my other vehicle had 12 airbags inside it, it was a 2012 buick enclave.
What body kits is that called buddy I have a Nissan X trail 1.6 2017 and have been looking for nice body kits and yours looks the best I've seen in my search for kits
Sorry just heard at start of the video you mentioned it :D thanks for sharing tho buddy I really like the car
In 2022 is it still a good buy the 2016 2.5? I drive long distance. KL-Bangkok regularly..any inputs? Thank you
The CVT doesnt last high mileage. Get a fortuner or a camry
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thank you. Yeah someone recommended fortuner too (turbo diesel) which i haven’t got the chance to try.
用了5年多的Teana Dashboard就破裂,不知其他Nissan有这个问題吗
Hi Bobby, thank you for consistently sharing such awesome content! Loving your work! Could you do a review of the Kia Cerato? Thanks!
I hate to say this Bobby but the interior quality is typical Tan Chong.. See that x-trail against Nissan livina from 2009..you'll find similar quality and I believe Nissan in Japan or other important market such as USA will hv better quality than this.

khalis711 agree. The design is hideous. Compared to Sorento/Sportage they look way better

It comes with Impul coilovers too right? Does it make it ride harder, handles better?
always looking forward to your reviews
Not bad, have you guys heard about Kia Sorento? It's quite powerful too you know, very suitable SUV to bring up to 7 people.
Izzati Hashim plus it has 6 airbags!
of all videos that i've watched. this falls under the boring category. Maybe it's just the car alone. i think the plastic really reminds me of 2005 toyota vios

Aaron Ng if u compared with the sportage/sorento u can see a lot of differences
Hi Bobby. If you were a buyer, would you go for this or the comfortline Tiguan?
If you're ok with a 5 seater SUV, then this car ranks behind the Tiguan or the CRV or the CX5 etc. If you need a 7 seater (like most Malaysians) hence why this car is the best selling mid sized SUV last year.
I like to think the only reason why this outsold the crv and cx5 last yr was due to people holding back their purchase of those models as their fmc model was unveiled last yr.
Could you review the normal 2.0 liter version?
Hi bobby, what do you think about the Current Audi Q5? Is it a good car?
Haziq Zahir yes it is. still matches up to the new boys par on par. but the GLC's interior design is so much better now.
Nice!
They made it uglier with that silly body kit, which potentially increase scrapes on the lower bumper... especially the corners
Nice review. I thought the sorento you reviewed had 7 seats? Also the diesel ls model is similar in price
+mystvearn83 yeah man.... always forgot about the Korean's pricing cos the Santa Fe and Sorento are full sized SUVs... everytime talking about mid size thought of Sportage and Tucson only
Better get Sorento cause it offers 6 airbags
Bobby, great time to do 2018 xtrail 2.0. Sure get the views wan
"If you drive like a normal human being, then the car is very fuel efficient" haha... nice one Bobby
You are right Bobby. The steering is vague. It has only 2 airbags, The bonnet vibrates at idling. Torque only came in around 3000 rpm. But people still buy. Why?

+Azmi Ibrahim yeah i always forgot about the two big boys because they are full sized but pricing similar. When we mentioned mid size always think Tucson and Sportage.
The Forester 2.0i starts at RM113K and yet no one buys it. Offers more safety features (7 airbags etc) and also standard AWD. Though only a 5 seater.
Azmi Ibrahim Sorento/Sportage is even better. The right rival of this Xtrail is Sportage GT and it beat the Xtrail in term of design, driving experience and also features
I read in their FB group this car is plagued by AC compressor issues
You reviewing the Serene S-Hybrid in the background too?
My colleague Keegan Dorai will be, just look for his channel 'Keegan Dorai'; he just started video reviews recently, support him by subscribing ya~
i see that you keep following a serena. you going to post a review on that soon? will be eager to watch that. :)
renault model Clio R.S. can you review????
yes the touch unit is operated by window lol :D
and 2.0 2wd variant just for 136k so i think is not that bad
Oon Shern get the Sorento. Value for money

Chow Kien Seen i hope so as well. tbat car is a bargain now. freaking bargain
Bobby Ang feel free to take mine for a spin 😆
Bobby Ang i have a 2.0iP, feel free to pm if interested
can this xtrail comparable with the toyota fortuner ?
Watching this review and summarizing it, this Xtrail is not a good car, but it's not a bad car either.
Nicholas W not a bad car? 7 seaters but offer 2 airbags not a bad car? Sorento got 6 airbags bro
Okay now I know why my parents bought CRV rather than this, and I am more confident about the choice XD
i need this ground effects kit for mine where can i get it at?
Can you review on new updated refinement Iriz and Exora pls????
The 360 camera will off if you drive more than 10km/h..
Bobby can u pls review the Honda S660?
Bro Bobby, can you do review on Haval H2?
how about reviewing the Serena?
Boby can u pls review The Honda s660 ?
Is the *Impul* better than the *Aero Edition* ?
What can i say ... consumers wanted 6 airbags ... but they kept giving bodykits ....
Now thats awesome
I thought it is one of the good and honest review. Shout out to you!
and yeah tell that stupid Honda Malaysia to add on those 2 extra seats.
nissan x trail have new model design?
This is the Impul version. Where it's kitted up with rims, bodykits etc.
Mileage...?
Hi. Bobby hope you. can review Mercedes s400 hybrid :)
the bodykit colour seems out of place from the body tone
That bodykit looks horrendous. The front doesn't even line up and the side skirts don't cover the black trim. Nice attempt though
awesome
nice review
Sold CRV 2.4 to buy XT2.5 Impul. Plus pts = no shift shock, no cabin rattles, no leaky trans like my CRV, video in motion, etc. Negatives = everyone said to buy new CRV turbo!
A family car with 2 airbags
Are u sure!
Funny looking side skirts.
NyC7ApX take a look at Sportage GT. Amazing & sexy!
This review is too boring not like others. Maybe Bobby also feels no excitement (maybe little) excitement and just following the request from other viewers. Or maybe Nissan are not my favourite cars including their SUVs. The worst design for me is Nissan Almeera.
No parking sensors on it
this one feels rather unexciting.
+Chris Heng me too while driving ...
Hard to feel excited to drive soccer mum SUV. I think the only Nissan that can thrill the driver is...the GTR!
got 2.0
Darn it Tan Chong, 2 freaking airbags only? You stingy company!
the center gear console really shaking.
26:57
Ahh... this car is really... such a failure... what is this car good in? I would afraid... nothing.... all round plastics , ugly exterior... last row very cramped up.. what's good..........
LoL .. i've said it. Handsome, 7 seats. Malaysians are easy to satisfy - Best seller. LOL.
Xavier Lim compared to Sorento/Sportage this Xtrail is nothing haha
KIA Sorento seems better!
Benz Zahid better in term of design, features and driving experience
2 airbags only hurmmm
Syed Adri for me cars that above rm100k should get 6 airbags as standard but this Xtrail only gives 2. Family car should get 6 airbags, just like the Sorento
luk uncle car ony
So I had the chance to test drive this X-Trail against its competitors, the CR-V, CX-5, and Sportage.

Mikoto Syameér but it has 7 seaters which i think Sorento is the right rival
