Owned fully loaded x trail e power for 6 months, get between 40 to 45 mpg. I believe that most people just don't understand the new e power system. How many cars can comfortably haul around 7 people and even some luggage with a 1.5 litre 3 cylinder motor? It makes 525 Nm of torque, that's 10 more than a 5 litre v8 Ford Mustang. It handles so well for what it is and is the most comfortable car I've ever driven, top speed is about 110 mph, but it's plenty for this type of vehicle and 0 to 60 in about 7 seconds. Yes it's expensive for a Nissan but at the top of the range it really is a lot of car for that money, but I don't think there's anything else in the price range for this type of car to match it, after the first couple of months I knew I'd make the right choice, I love mine.
Hello! Gerry. Thank you very much for your evaluation. I really do appreciate that. I'm torn between buying a brand new Toyota Rav 4, Hyundai Tucson or this X- Trail. I will be changing it in 3 years time. A question, will this small battery last?
@@michealkelliher8428 Battery has an 8 year warranty and because it's so small I don't think it's that expensive to replace anyway. For the price of the top of the range model there is plenty of choice, but I couldn't be bothered with, do I want this, do I need that. If you don't want all the extras that come with the fully loaded x trail, you should consider the other models as it will save you a lot of money, plus if you are only keeping it for 3 years and have gotten used to having all the tech and stuff on offer it's going to be a pain to going back to doing without it and the equivalent tech in another premium brand will be even more expensive.
Great assessment, had mine for two months, never wanted to go full electric and this fits the bill perfectly, for those saying its not very fuel efficient, the car weighs over two tonnes unladen and I am more than impressed with the fuel efficiency, best car I have ever had, add in the fact it is built in Japan. Well done Nissan.
@@michealkelliher8428the batteries don’t work like the normal electric ones. I drive the qashqai n-power and the best way I can describe it is this.. the unleaded petrol powers the engine which powers the battery which in turn is what makes you go. I’ve recently had to order the X-Trail 7 seater and after driving the Qashqai it was a no brainer for me to go for this. Hope that helps you, I was confused with it all at first but absolutely love the drive in these.
Great review, just got delivered my new 2024 xtrail nconnect, e-power e-4orce still trying to get the the hang on it but it’s looking great. My color is skyline grey
Thanks for the review- we have the n connecta on order so great to see this one (all other reviews are for the teckna!). Was the sunroof an additional option as I thought the were only standard on the teckna version? Thank you
Hey Hollie, thanks for the comment. Yes I believe the sun roof was specced to this car as an option. What colour did you go for? I think the N connecta is a great choice👌🏽 thanks for chatting 🤗
Have one 1yr same spec,agree with all you've said broke down at 5k in dealer for 6 weeks diesel kodiaq next time lots of gremlins in tech never again back to diesel.
Doors. Prob is in strong gale gusty winds, if not held it will slam fully wide open & could damage & buckle at hinge areas, as doors that open ¾ way, that holds itself much stronger to resist any possible buckling. Just rmbr to keep a hold of doors in aforementioned.
Important update, I collected mine today, the spec has been updated on the n connecta, power tailgate now standard, awful brown leather now black, and door upholstery is same black leatherette instead of cloth.
Ordered one of these via a leasing company still waiting to hear when the delivery will be (originally told April). how long have people been waiting for orders?
Average is 4 months, xtrail is built in Japan where as juke/qashqai are built in uk, and there’s an extra 2 weeks sailing time on the container ship at the moment because of the war in Gaza.
I don't think that its worth over Qashkai.... I'm looking for leasing, so Quashai connecta version I think arround 300, xtrail connecta 400.... so 100 diffrence. Depends each what you need.
Thanks for the comment and sharing to your thoughts. Exactly right with what you are saying. Lease prices at the moment are crazy so you could grab a great deal. Thanks for chatting 🤗
Hey John thanks for the comment. I didn’t fancy going off-road in this as it’s only FWD, I’m sure it’s pretty capable but knowing my luck I’d get stuck all on my own lol. Thanks for chatting 🤗
What a horrible colour, it looks like undercoat. We bought a 2023 X-Trail Ti-l and absolutely love it. It’s comfortable, economical, and great to drive. BTW, ours is Pearl White, we live on a dirt road, and the white doesn’t show the dust so much, plus it’s a cooler colour.
Hey Peter, I didn’t think about that primer colour until you mentioned it lol yes the car is great no wonder you love it. I found it juts so easy to drive made Everything super convenient. Pearl white sounds cool thanks for sharing and chatting with us 🤗
It looks much nicer in person, I’ve got this colour on mine. Had white in the last 3 cars I’ve had so fancied a change and I didn’t like the xtrail in black.
Lol so are you saying you like my eyebrows and because they are so nice you can’t concentrate, or you don’t like my eyebrows and that’s why! Either way is fine 🤗 thanks for the comment!

Mine 1.5 E-Power E-4orce 213 Acenta Prem 5dr 7 St Auto
Awsome thanks for the comment and kind words. Nice pick thanks for sharing and stopping by to chat! 🤗
Have you received your acenta premium yet? Keen to get your thoughts as considering this trim
Great review, just got delivered my new 2024 xtrail nconnect, e-power e-4orce still trying to get the the hang on it but it’s looking great. My color is skyline grey
what is mpg?
Here in Spain we calculate it in liter per 100k, so my is averaging 6.5lt per 100k. Best result 5.1 but that was forcing the ev manually
If you really do not need the all wheel drive would recommend it over the e4orce
@@jcroman78 Thanks for info :-)

Is this actually true?
The mpg depends on how much weight you have in car. I think they always put average x
Hey Lorrie. Thanks for the comment and sharing 🤗
@@CarChatTV I’m looking at the 5 seater n connects epower
Nice review 😊

Couple more 7 seaters Peugeot 5008 and Seat Tarraco. But I have an X Trail on order.

Nissan why can’t I pick a black headliner for the X-Trail? 😭
Oh wait can you not spec a black headliner? What’s the standard colour I can’t remember
Nice review but could hv tried out its off road capabilities as the x trail as in my mind the x trail should be rugged as I own the older version

Yo bro if the truck doesn’t have any power and it’s new brand
What to do
can't concentrate on the review, distracted by those massive eyebrows
