It doesn't have a cvt gearbox, the wheels are driven by the electric motors just like a plug in ev the engine only works as a generator to power the battery and invector. It has variable compression and I think this is confusing people!
@@AutoSocialUK Not on the e 4orce, it may be on the normal ice powered x trail, electric motors, which is what drives the e 4orce, directly drive the wheels so no gearbox needed. You couldn't feel it shifting gears because it doesn't, it's an ev with its own generator, a 1.5 3 pot turbocharged ice that either charges the battery or sends power to the invector to power the motors that power the wheels.
Hi Tish interesting video, don’t rate that small 1.5cc 3 cylinder engine in a car like this, then there is Jatco transmission parts, not the greatest, horrible to repair. If you want a car like this for a longer period of time, probably best avoided. A Toyota product would be a better option, good video as always ❤
There is nothing confusing about it, Its petrol electric (just like trains have been diesel electric for 40 Years or more) People are just a bit thick.
Well done Tish a great review and personally I think Nissan are making some great cars these days I had a juke as a courtesy car recently as my wife’s Peugeot 108 was being serviced (dealer does Nissan and Peugeot) and I found it very well made and comfortable and well specced I am contemplating looking at a qashqai when I change Keep up the great work Daniel
The word “ complicated” hits a note of concern given a previous x- trail reliability in pre 22 models- I have driven this car and wow I was really impressed with the spec of the tekna model e force configuration and would have bought it - one or two niggles- the Uk version The tow bar cost is extortion and just manual hand attached - the cost £1400 plus fitting - Mercedes Benz is electric, factory fit costs £675. A 3 year warranty with a complicated and unproven longevity review- maybe next time perhaps but right now - simple is better an engine that drives the wheels- every mechanic can fix that in 5 years time
my e4force is sailing to me right now and due in the UK on 23rd June! Storm White with Sunroof! and the MPG looks good to me (compared to my Range rover and Discovery)
@@AutoSocialUK had it on some very light duty off road last night and it survived just fine - ground clearance is only 4cm lower than my Discovery so it might be able to all of the trails I use - I will test it out over the nex few weeks while the trails are dry as in the winter its another matter all together!

@@tonyhowell5283 Thank You for the kind feedback! Enjoy the car! I am closing in on a deal soon for an E-power 2WD Tekna, as I was very impressed with it at the dealers.
Hey Tish, love your videos, I think your voice and presenting style on this one is 👌👌👌 I much prefer the more conversational tone as opposed to the “presenter voice”. This seems a lot more authentic. Thanks!
Love the look of these and the e power set up is very interesting. However the mpg figures just don’t stack up for the extra money you’d pay over the mild hybrid.
The x-tronic CVT gearbox is only on the Mild Hybrid models the epower does not have a transmission purely driven by electric motors, i regularly drive the eforce XTrail as a demo and is beautiful to drive…
Nice video my friend! I hope you'll get to review some cars that are not available in the UK in the future, especially the ones sold in other European countries that we don’t get here. The new X-Trail (codename T33) has been on sale as the Rogue in the USA / Canada since the 2021 model year. However, it's important to note that the e-Power / e-4ORCE powertrain is not available in the USA or Canada. Interestingly, the e-Power X-Trail is available in Mexico, but 4WD is not available in the hybrid version of the X-Trail there, and it makes less power (187hp in Mexico).
E Power models do NOT have a gearbox! The gearbox is replaced with an electric motor, that starts the engine and then becomes the generator. There is no gearbox!
Tish… the point of CVTs and eCVTs is that they have no gears to change. Any time I see one with fake shift points it infuriates me as it makes the engine less efficient all for the sake of loss of smoothness. It’s akin to paying for Business class, but demanding economy class food.
5:40 I sensed a little hesitation in your voice are you really not a little person?🤔😂 Jokes aside thanks for the review. The interior of the car is very well finished.
sorry BUT It doesn't have gears! Just stick your foot to the floor and you will soon realise it doesn't have gears. just think about flicking your washing machine going from 0 to 1600 spin, no gears, just an electric motor going from 0 to full power in a couple of seconds. I have the Qashqai Epower (although it is only 2WD), blistering acceleration and great fuel economy. Currently our epower is in for a control module replacement and we have a petrol equivalent on loan. Epower does 45-60 mpg and the petrol barely manages 38mpg at best. Obviously we do the same routes and trips in the loan car as we would on our dailys in the epower. Another point to mention is that the build quality is so much better in the Epower models than the IC engined versions. simply because the engine noise is virtually non existent so the normally acceptable squeeks and rattles that would be masked by the engine noise are manufactured out as the cabin in the Epower is so quiet.
Tish I've waited so long to see you review this car and you didn't disappoint Another top review tish Keep up the good work my friends and family often enjoy watching your reviews 👍
Hi, I have an ePower e4rce in the same like in the video. I have driven 2500 km-s and I can't hear high pitched sound. But the car is excellent and really nice and convenient. Easy to drive especially in ePedal mode, almost no need to use breaks.
I think Honda's version of E-power where the petrol motor can drive the wheels as well as electric power is a better approach. Would be an interesting comparison but different classes
Hate the front of the X-Trail, it's just hideous with those separate headlights. Everything else is just right. But with all the upgrades, how much will the X-Trail cost now?
If you look at how reliable nissan has been since renault got there hands on them the only good nissan to buy is a 87 bluebird or a 92 sunny there nothing now to the pre renault cars
@akashdeepsingghh Don't make a mistake. Since the GFC Nissan has been going backwards. Cost cutting in their engineering department has severely damaged Nissan. Many of their products have been brought to market with inherent problems, for example, CVT failures. The Xtrail is one of them. Nissan has factories all over the world with varying quality control.

Love the look of these and the e power set up is very interesting. However the mpg figures just don’t stack up for the extra money you’d pay over the mild hybrid.
I’m assuming because of the weight of 2 batteries? 🤔 it’s so crazy nice to drive though but yea a lot of money
If the extra money means you don`t have to deal with the CVT gearbox, then it`s worth the extra money... in my book!
The x-tronic CVT gearbox is only on the Mild Hybrid models the epower does not have a transmission purely driven by electric motors, i regularly drive the eforce XTrail as a demo and is beautiful to drive…
If that is an E-Power version... lol.. there is no gearbox. It is an electric car with a range extender engine.
Keep up the good work Tish 👏 🙌

I drive the Nissan Pulsar Turbo Dig-T 2018 daily and I am happy with it. They don't make small Nissans like that any more... :(

Small question. What kind of tyres were fitted during the snow test drive? Winter tyres, summer or all season? Thanks.

Realise not every driver finds this important but it would be great to know the bhp, 0-60 time and mpg figures you achieved in realistic driving.
Watch the CarWow review. All these figures are given. 🤗
I missed it as well but she mentions this bhp at 3.46
5:40 I sensed a little hesitation in your voice are you really not a little person?🤔😂
Jokes aside thanks for the review. The interior of the car is very well finished.

Thank you so much, that is really kind. It was a long wait but we got to test it properly 😏
Does anyone else hear a high pitched sound when the new trail is running ?

Hi
Is there a available tow bar kit for this model?
Thanks
I think Honda's version of E-power where the petrol motor can drive the wheels as well as electric power is a better approach. Would be an interesting comparison but different classes
Hmm, I’m not so sure though because it cases like that, when the engine starts powering the wheels, it usually becomes quite noisy.
Hybrids that have engines that drive the wheels are noisier and nowhere near as smooth or quiet as the E Power
@Whole_Ammo83 Makes sense if fuel comsumption is the only thing you care about.
the seven-seater version's impractical. who has four or five adults in their family?
