The interior graphic you used to compare with the Qashqai is that of the 2021 Qashqai. It had a mild facelift in 2022 and has the same infotainment screen as the X-Trail. I sat in both a few weeks ago and the interiors are pretty on par quality wise since the facelift. Have my Qashqai on order.
A good calm review. No hysterics or histrionics. The car seems a normal offering from Nissan, a decent car but not something I would look at buying.
I picked up a 2023 plate last Friday, I love it… it’s so relaxing to drive..
Is there a high pitch sound when driving ?
@@Ilay82w no… it just sounds like an EV, and when the engine does kick in, you can’t really hear it…
@@TheDivineicons this is true.
how quiet is it when the engine kicks in ?
My sister in law bought brand new and its never go fully on battery 🔋 and she's getting juts 30/35mpg she told other to stay away from it its not hybrid like toyota lol
So of you get the 5 seater, it’s a big, spacious comfortable car. Sounds great to me. I think it looks great too.
I've have the N-CONNECTA E4ORCE for little over 2 weeks now and the car is lightyears ahead of it's previous generation in everyway.
I'm not sure where this 35mpg comes from as i'm averaging about 50mpg and I'm not driving like my nan. The car's eco mode is leaps more responsive and quicker than the 2liter diesel 4x4 that i used to own, so eco mode is more than enough for me.
I must point out though... the e-pedal is brilliant, but unlike this review stated it doesn't bring the car to a complete stop (gets you down to about 6mph). Only the pro-pilot or intelligent cruise control will bring the car to a complete stop.
All-in-all, the car is a brilliant drive and would recommend at least a test drive. I'm fully sold on electric and look forward to the first fully electric X-Trail in the near future. Well done Nissan 👍
50 mpg is good to know. I have my eye on one of these but wouldn't entertain it at 35mpg.
50mpg , but what about highway ?
@@LaikaBossGames that was overall. Not reset it for the motorway only.
Oh that’s good to know, I’ve seen 44mpg for the eforce so 50 is good xx
8:00 - e-4orce and e-Power don`t have an automatic 8-speed gearbox. It is just one gear forward and another one reverse. A mistake?
hell no! it's no mistake. it's brilliant and could never go back it's smooth as. I think all electric cars are direct drive.
Opel Ampera was one of series hybrid on market. ePower is full hybrid, series configuration
What if charging battery is more slower than consuming battery?? As you know, battery efficiency will drop a lot after couple years. Can I still drive the vehicle? Planning to buy Ti-L epower but a bit worry about this question.
Hi I have a new e power one and I get between 40 and 48 mpg , on runs, and around town between 55 and 75 mpg, but you must use the e power pedal.
Pheeew 😰Thanks for that...got my 4force E force coming in September. was starting to get a bit worried over the mpg reports...coming from a 2.0 diesel.
@@omega19uk I can vouch for the above. like you, coming from the diesel too and you won't regret it. This is a perfect stepping stone to full electric.
I am not sure how you achieved it. I have 2wd e power and average ~7.2/100 (~39mpg) if I barely touch gas pedal.
Already done ~1k+ km and consumption just goes up even that I am using eco + e.pedal.
And its almost identical at high and low speeds
@@Pievka hi not sure then, I ve done 5000miles now and the overall mpg is 44.8 mpg. One thing I have noticed is that aircon or heating makes a big difference to the mpg, as you would expect. I have found that using eco mode adds about 4mpg on a 200mile journey, if you manage the EV mode you can get another 7/9 mpg out of the car, I found that if you take your foot off the petal it will switch into EV mode before the car manages it thus gain more mpg.
@@stansadler8113 So you're saying if I use the heater in my £45k+ car that I will eat fuel. Got it.
I like the presenter's demeanour, he speaks quietly and is informative. Except no information regarding car performance in inclement weather, muddy roads, snow/ice.
4:10 not sure why but the second row seats are so low it feels like you are almost sitting on the floor. Compared to my 2015 X Trail which has a fantastic second even a 6'5 person can sit very comfortably not sure a 5'7 person would be comfortable travelling any distance with out the support.
Hi as I’m new does it ever need chargin points plz
Good car. I own a qashqai and it's perfect but I still interested on Xtrail might consider buy one
You have to use your foot brake to come to a complete stop with epedal. It’s used for regenerative braking.
So is it better than a Qashqai?? Note that Acenta premium trim has touchscreen but only wired CarPlay and Android Auto.
Thought it was summer in Uk
What's the price in usd
Nice job
So it seems that the e-4orce is all about power, not economy. But the battery is so tiny I wonder how long it can keep up high power and torque before it runs out of oomph. Not long I suggest. And charging from the small engine seems to be thermodynamically insufficient/inefficient. The alternative petrol version is apparently slightly more fuel efficient but only comes in 2wd. Oops. If the X-trail is an SUV then why does it come in 2wd-only versions clearly for nothing off road, not even a muddy track? Is it then just a high roof station wagon ?
beautiful interior
beautiful Engine Car
Let's just be honest here, regardless of the size similarity, Nissan X Trial, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson are not really competitors to Mazda CX-60. Just uncomparable vehicles in terms of kit, finish quality, luxury feel and basically buyers those cars are after.
Whats the name of the host??
Does anyone else hear a high pitched sound when the new xtrail is running ?
no, just a little hum if you don't have music playing or on the motorway.
I like this car but I’m concerned about Nissan’s reliability record over the last decade !
It's a very nice drive if u want a real review have a look at some of the off road reviews on here and a bonus it does 0-60 in 5 seconds
Very nice
Nice 👍🙂🙂
Awesome video.
I'm trying really hard to understand Nissan's philosophy behind this odd configuration. What's the point if it ends up consuming more fuel that it would with a 1.6lt engine for instance. On top of that, you have two different systems to maintain instead of one.
How else can you get 213 bhp and 525 Nm torque from a 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine without putting it under so much stress it would be really unreliable. A 4 litre normally aspirated Porsche flat 6 puts out less torque than that. So 40 mpg from a powerful 4x4 that can easily move 7 people around, it makes sense to me.
@@gerrybailey447 You have a point there, but what's the point of all that torque if you only get a very mediocre off-road ability. Do we really need that much power for everyday commune?
@@menifo4334 A couple with five kids or someone with six friends might appreciate it. 😆
The main points with this system is that a) fuel efficiency is high in town driving, where petrol or diesel SUVs have terrible efficiency due to their high weight - unfortunately the difference is small on roads and highways; and b) maintainance is better than non-hybrid cars because the thermal engine always works around its optimal rpm value to feed the battery, letting the electric engine do the wide rpm range.
Had mine a month now, tekna bose eforce 5 seat. Im averaging 44ish, which is about the same as my previous 2.0tdi 4wd tiguan DSG. Thats in normal mode on usual 20 mile commute, country roads and 2 miles of dual carriageway.
Its very quiet, very smooth, even when flooring it the engine isnt that loud. Interior is very upmarket too.
So in all honesty, although im very impressed with it, why didnt they just bang a 2.0tdi in it, economy would be the same and less complex.
As nice as they are why are manufacturers making cars bigger and bigger. Just leads to more congestion on the road. These cars are just not built for supermarket car parks, new home garages or parking spaces.
Are there gears or not ? @8:02 The graphic says it is an 8 speed automatic yet @8:08 the presenter says there are no gears.
I have it, there are no gears ⚙️!
It’s a CVT setup, so no gears.
@@jonnymathews Nissan's E-Power lineup does not use CVT transmissions, but are in fact direct drive (1 speed forward and one speed back).
Will it tow a caravan????
Surprising
What puzzles me is BMW had a better system in 2014 with the I3 REX.
Seriously who is bothered with the base models in 2023. Bugger all that! Just get the best version you can afford.
Old people would love its all button layout
The best version someone may be able to afford could well be the base version ? And not everyone wants to be connected.
Just make it fully electric.
Wow
is this technology reliable? Isn't 3 cylinders a little too much for this monster? kinda funny?
So, not better than a hybrid or electric car, consumption is not great either, I have had petrol ICE cars that actually got me 42mpg in eco mode. Why would I buy this? I might be missing something but this car doesnt make much sense to me.
+1 I'm also trying to get the point of buying this car.
Electric car❤
I really don't get this. A 10 year old Vauxhall Astra estate has 500 litre boot space and a full size spare wheel. What the heck is happening to the cars that they get so cramped inside?
Suv has less space than estate especially rwd, awd or 4wd
one word: batteries. It takes a great deal of batteries to power most hybrid and electric vehicles, and their batteries are usually stored underneath the seats and boot to help lower their centre of gravity.
Nissan should accept that they are not good at hybrids and suck up to Toyota to use their technology instead.
Maybe you don't know your hybrids too well. Not all hybrids are created equal.
Nissan's is a series hybrid, Toyota's is a series/parallel planetary gear set hybrid (that's also patent protected...)
But both Nissan and Toyota have been doing something wrong. Advertising that not plugging in is some sort of benefit when it's the damned opposite.
Toyota or Nissan's hybrids would be objectively better if simply offered as a plug in
This ePower seems pretty good.
@@toyotaprius79 I drive a Hyundai hybrid and a Nissan EV, so I know what I'm talking about. I get over 70 mpg on my hybrid mainly used for long distance high speed motorway journeys. EVs are inefficient and very expensive to charge for long distance high speed driving, so my EV is used only for urban and short regional commutes.
We drive a camry hybrid. And recently tried the xtrail e power. And my god the difference is huge.. the nissan system feels so much smoother without the cvt noise. Of course our Camry had been very reliable and i cannot vouch for nissan reliability, but pure drive wise i think nissan is better.
Stopped watching at "fuzzy".
A shame that its a 3 cylinder engine. Very bad decision.
First
Well done you pointless narcissi 🙄
100% agree.
In 2013 this would have been a reasonable option. In 2023 there's no excuse in pedelling ANY type of hybrid.
If you're not ready for full BEV (and there are now only a few remaining use cases where this is not justified) then stick with petrol (but not diesel!).
Unlike Europe and North America rest of the world lags way behind in EV infrastructure. It makes sense in a country like Australia where you have to travel long distances without any ev charging stations in sight
@@SanjeeThan Emmm, why would you even then buy or think about EV? Just stick with petrol and you are good to go.
@@nusibusi4728 umm because hybrids are fuel efficient? Toyota hybrids are the highest selling cars in Australia - you save money in fuel especially when you drive long distances in a big country
@@SanjeeThan On long distances on the highway in a hybrid you are just carrying a heavy battery because it provides no assistance. So a hybrid is less economic if you do a lot of highway driving. Hybrids only make sense in the city.
Hrhrhrhrh
8 speed automatic, 'bad' brake pedal and 'difficult to stop the car smoothly'? What are you talking about? poor review
8 speed automatic is better then shitty CVT
What a waste of a battery and motor(s)
And a hybrid that produces 148g/CO2 per km what’s the point 😂😂😂
That's the benefit of plugin hybrids,
They're objectively better than regular hybrids but that's not profitable enough for short sighted businesses.
What a waste of our time reposting old videos m un subscribing lazy what car recycling on steroids. 2 past vids all done 7 months ago😢
@@reececollison5101that’s still low for a car this big.
@@oliverstemp9132 none when you consider the plug in hybrids of this size have figures of around 30-40g/km, I know those figures are highly liberal with the truth but still
Just a prop to hold open the bonnet!
Ridiculous on such an expensive car, but you didn't bother to mention it.
I much prefer the pure unfussy styling of my first generation x-trail.
When does anybody open the bonnet? Once a month/week to check screenwash/ engine oil (if it has an engine) ? If the 'prop' does the job why do you want to design anything more complicated, heavier and expensive to make?
Seriously unimpressed by the blatant PR misinformation going on, similar to Toyota's "self charging" hybrids.
It's not a benefit to not plug in. It's a limitation. How Nissan has been advertising e-Power is antithetical to the LEAF and auto journalists are helping them ...
Prius drivers since the mid 2000s have long DIYed plugin batteries because of how much better it made the hybrid drive.
And it must be said, Nissan had the e-Power introduced in the Note in Japan since 2016.
Why is it that we in Europe only have large vehicles shoved in our faces with this not-so-new hybrid?
Very ugly car IMHO
I picked up a 2023 plate last Friday, I love it… it’s so relaxing to drive.
Very nice
