One of the best reviews so far! Had my TI-L for 1.5 weeks now and i have to say it packs quite a punch, as for the steering youve mentioned washy? Much improved on the T32 which i just traded, majes this baby so easy to Park with an electric assisted steering, the engine has a lot of punch and wants to get up and go. So much room and options i am loving this car, sat in others before buying and they feel so pokey, this is a beautifully organised car
im in the market terry and seriously lookin at an xtrail, if you see this comment do you still rate the car after a few months, im a sedan fan this will be my first suv its more for the kids than me , are you still happy with the car
@@jamesmwilliams1 Hi James, i do, they are great fun, the new one has plenty of go, for kids the back doors open open out the most in class giving easy access, for me baby seat! there is some great deals, the steering is very light being electronic assist, the Ti-L has a 10 speaker bose system and the interior is so much more upmarket, i chose the light Tan black combo which really looks elegant, take a test drive you won't be dissapointed, the hight inside cabin is more plentiful also prob best in class, don't listen to the old tslk about the cvt i've never had an issue even with the last model. give it a go! they are offering a better deal now, one thing i reccomend check out if the servicing bothers you every 10,000 and a little bit more than others, i got my first service thrown in for free the 1
@@jamesmwilliams1 I shore do love mine servicing a bit pricey every 10,000k's but i got my first full service thrown in, bought on their finance so i can change or hand back at 4yrs also their Insurance is a good deal good luck on your decision, try one for a drive very easy around town.
I think I will test drive this and the epower. I like the idea of this more simpler engine from a maintenance pov but also the difference in fuel savings with the hybrid is negligible by the looks. Great review!
I owned 2023 Xtrail TI-L and MY2018 CRV VTI-L7. Xtrail is much more smoother & quite compare to CRV since new. Less bodyroll on the Xtrail & more responsive also.
Only downsides to this car are the Servicing intervals and servicing costs. How does the outlander, which is the same mechanically offer 12 month 15k kms servicing and the x trail not? + average of 500+ every service for the first 5 years?? That’s steep.
Nissan's stingy 5 year warranty, more costly capped price servicing every 10000km as opposed to Mitsubishi's conditional 10 year warranty with considerably cheaper fixed price servicing costs every 15000km was the line in the sand for us to go for an Outlander Aspire instead of an STL Xtrail at a very similar price. Nissan really need to do something in this regard.
Advantage is they are super smooth in everyday driving around town and are more fuel efficient than a torque converter. Downsides- if you like flooring your car everywhere, they become a bit elasticky and thrashy.
135 kW power for this vehicle is good for it's size, but 244 NM of torque is way short of what it needs. The engine is the same one from 15 years ago and it struggles to tow a fully laden (750kg) box trailer. A small pop top caravan is beyond it's capacity. That said, it's a nice daily drive, if you can live with a cvt. But really, who wants to "drive" a cvt ?
We don't disagree that a little extra torque would go a long way to helping out the X-Trail in most day-to-day situations. Worth pointing out too, that while the 2.5-litre capacity is the same, the PR25DD series engine in this car isn't a carry-over of the QR25DE from the previous model, but rather is a new-generation engine.
In the Nissan X-Trail Ti e-Power you get features like 19-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlights, 12.3-inch infotainment and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger, power-adjustable front seats, front seat heating, leather seat trim, a panoramic sunroof, thi-zone climate control, a powered tailgate and more. Moving up to the Ti-L e-Power adds 20-inch wheels, nappa leather interior, 10-speaker Bose sounds system, heated steering wheel and rear seats, rear door sunshades, remote engine start, front seat memory functions, hands-free power tailgate and more.
I’ve had a drive of the base model on 17 inch wheels and would say that the ride quality is nowhere near as plush as an equivalent Kia sportage (on 17inch wheels). Don’t understand how all x trail reviews praise it’s ride quality. It’s average. Sportage, Tucson, RAV4, forester and CRV are all better.
So many good things about this car but why is no one commenting on the incredibly lethargic and gutless engine? You cant overtake a snail in this thing. Nothing from the reviewer on this? I think he's is on the take!
a definite move forward for Nissan and not before time. I always read comments that a CVT is a no for some people, that means a lot of cars are off their list. I also read a lot of comments about DCT issues. Perhaps electric is best for them and no transmission.

The first thing I noticed was the luxury drive that it gives, way above most other cars in the price range.
Thanks to Nissan, job well done here 👏👏👏👏👏
Better than CRV and rav4 😊😊

Great review mate 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it.
No ventilated seats at this price? Ventilated seats in Australian models are a must at this price.
Excellent review
Thanks Raymond!
I think I will test drive this and the epower. I like the idea of this more simpler engine from a maintenance pov but also the difference in fuel savings with the hybrid is negligible by the looks. Great review!
Tell us how you go and thanks!
Has the car got Keyless locking like the Qashai?
Ordered a new 1 today and then came home to check reviews 😂 . Looks like I made a good decision

Great to hear. That's what I noticed as well, it's so smooth and quiet. I'm sold on it.

Needs a full sized spare.
Getting rare these days.
I will definitely be buying a new X- Trail very soon.
What's the advantage or disadvantage of the CVT gear box. I'd buy this new x trail but that gear box 🤔
Advantage is they are super smooth in everyday driving around town and are more fuel efficient than a torque converter. Downsides- if you like flooring your car everywhere, they become a bit elasticky and thrashy.
CVT -Continuously Variable Trash?
Pretty sure toyota and Honda also use a cvt type transmission .
135 kW power for this vehicle is good for it's size, but 244 NM of torque is way short of what it needs.
The engine is the same one from 15 years ago and it struggles to tow a fully laden (750kg) box trailer.

since when $60,000 is good value for a cheap SUV?
Thanks
What is the difference between the TI and TI-L epower models?
In the Nissan X-Trail Ti e-Power you get features like 19-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlights, 12.3-inch infotainment and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger, power-adjustable front seats, front seat heating, leather seat trim, a panoramic sunroof, thi-zone climate control, a powered tailgate and more.
Moving up to the Ti-L e-Power adds 20-inch wheels, nappa leather interior, 10-speaker Bose sounds system, heated steering wheel and rear seats, rear door sunshades, remote engine start, front seat memory functions, hands-free power tailgate and more.
@@Drivecomau Sounds like the TI has enough, but I've heard the audio system is average so can it be upgraded?
I just bought one today with 1% interest rate offered by nissan

Please someone review the ST-L 7 seater
Here you go Ken, you can read our full review of that model here: www.drive.com.au/reviews/2023-nissan-x-trail-st-l-review-australia/
Yes I love my car ❤
Just bought a 2023 Ti L and reading so many things about CVT being so bad
I find the cruise control confusing to say the least! Not very straightforward to use.
Too expensive
WTF you didnt even show the sunroof
So many good things about this car but why is no one commenting on the incredibly lethargic and gutless engine?
You cant overtake a snail in this thing.

Have no trouble overtaking
you driven one? it actually moves along nicely
