Love my brother's X Trail E Force Ti. Quiet, responsive with excellent comfort and finishes. EV driving experience without heavy batteries, range anxiety or need to plug in. The sole negative is the lack of spare wheel.
Fuel consumption 6.1 litres per 100 KMs against 7.8 for petrol model. Costs an extra $5k. Have to use dearer higher octane fuel. Any saving won't kick in for 6-8 years. You can't be serious. . .
What people are really paying extra for is the turbo motor and smoother, quieter driving experience compared with the petrol CVT 2.5litre. Disclaimer - I haven’t driven them myself yet.
5.6 as tested which is fantastic. When tested they usually drive them a bit harder than what the average driver does. Usually when reviewing cars they get at least 2 litres more than claimed, this used half a litre less.
Heaps of power, no diesel clatter, quiet and refined. And 6L/100 is well under real world consumption in a petrol only equivalent vehicle. Plus, diesel is 20-30c more expensive per litre. Anything but pointless.
It only needs to provide a reservoir of power until the engine can replenish it. How long can you use full throttle? As soon as you back off the battery is being recharged so it needs a much smaller battery than conventional hybrids.
What do you mean not fancy ! Jeeze it looks better then the Hyundai's and Kia's they brought out recently, too overdone and doesn't deserve all the hype coz it's weird history.
The pricing you say is very deceptive, it is not sub$50,000 or $49490, it costs at least $55000 to buy it. Please correct this seriously misleading lead in.
Sounds all very good but i get same fuel consumption from our Subaru, Buyers beware !! until the Government comes clean on cost of running EVs as they lose 0.44c tax in every dollar you spend on fuel where is the revue going to come from?

This spec hit just the sweet spot. I like.

What is the expected life of the battery? and how much does it cost to replace it?

Thanks for feedback
How pointless at 6L/100. Might as well just buy a turbo diesel, which I suspect costs a lot less.
Sure, Diesel engine still makes more sense on highway driving.

Yes, and it's premium fuel which is 20 to 30 cents per.litre more expensive than standard fuel. Waste of time.

Give us a PHEV version with 10-15kWh battery and this could be the perfect car.
I agree , with 500w per kg batteries, thats in theory an extra 30kg for a lot more Zing
The battery is too small.

@@keng4066 The same as old Prius , so old obsolete method.
@@Patriot-os7br Which Prius used this method of an EV with the battery charged by an ICE? They seem to have CVT transmissions not electric motors.

It needed a much bigger battery with a plug in. As it is it won't worry Toyota at all
🧠 PS SYNTHETIC FUEL CAN BE MADE FROM ALUMINIUM CANS WAIT FOR THIS ONE 🧠🧠
10 cents per can now in Vic😅.
