The Nissan X-Trail medium-sized SUV has become an Aussie favourite since its boxy beginnings back in the early 2000s. 2022 saw the fourth-generation X-Trail launched with a new design, more features, and new powertrains - including a new ‘e-Power’ eForce plug-in hybrid.
One year on, VFACTS figures show it’s proving to be a winner. From January to June 2023, sales have increased by more than one-third (35.4 per cent) over the same months in 2022, accounting for a 3.4 per cent market share.
There are four variants to choose from; the ST, ST-L, Ti, and Ti-L. Among these, you can choose from three powertrains. An entry-level 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that powers front wheels is available in ST and ST-L trim. The same engine powering all four wheels is offered in all variants. Then a unique e-Power hybrid can be chosen in all models but the base ST variant.
The front-wheel drive ST begins the price range at $37,250. If you want the e-Power hybrid it adds between $3200 and $4200, depending on the trim level. Here, we’re putting the top-spec Ti-L in all-petrol, four-wheel drive form and the Ti e-Power under the microscope. Prices start from $53,490 and $54,690 (excluding on-road costs).
Among the medium SUV market, the entry-level X-Trail’s price tag sits roughly in the middle among other popular models. The Mazda CX-5 undercuts it by $1200, the Hyundai Tucson by $2100, the Kia Sportage auto by $2500, and the Honda CR-V by $1300. But it beats the Subaru Forester by $600, and the Toyota RAV4 by $2500. It is on par with the cheapest Mitsubishi Outlander...

Correction: Apologies, I accidentally said ‘plug-in’ hybrid. It’s not plug-in, only hybrid.
Best reviews on TH-cam! I love this channel so much.
Thanks! Plenty more videos to come.
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia - what happened to PDrive?
@@351tgv Hi, I started it in 2011 with a mate, Josh Bennis, and we sold it in 2015. I remained as manager. I resigned in July this year as I/and our small team were getting very little/no support from the big company that currently owns it - working extreme hours. Now I'm working the same hours but for no money 😅But at least the content is ours and not owned by some corporate crap that couldn't care less.
Cheers,
Brett Davis
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia - thanks for the info about why this has happened,.
Will support your new channel as I always liked your unique reviews. I purchased a X-trail Ti petrol AWD, so far so good.
@@351tgv Thanks a lot.
Great choice! Were you tempted by the e-Power option?
Great review as always - in before the next 150k subscribers!
Can somebody tell me, what the sound/noise is between 4:07 and 4:12? My girlfriend drove an e-power Qashqai which made a simular sound.
SUB 7 second 0-60 for an SUV is very very good! Might be a very good car that would last for ages as there is no transmission...
Please review Honda ZRV
Thanks for your request. I’ll see what I can do 👍
If this type of vehicle got tax exemptions I would have likely gone with it.
You can get a 80k car via novated lease and have the same effect on your take home pay as getting this x-trail :(
More money isn't always better but just something to consider for those who are looking to get a novated car lease - definitely something to talk to someone about.
Lack of any spare tyre taints what is an otherwise very compelling package from nissan. Odd decision from nissan here when they tend to market the xtrail as a light offroader
This car is not a plug in hybrid
Correct. Thanks for pointing that out. I was mainly referring to its twin, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and slipped up on my wording. Apologies.
