Nissan X-TRAIL 2017 Problems

Space-savers are intended for emergency use to get you to a place to repair or replace the punctured tyre. They're not intended to be driven on for long distances, or at high speeds. Nissan has undoubtedly tested them and they are rated for the X-Trail, so I don't have any problem with them, although I would prefer a full-sized spare.

You first need to decide the level of off-roading you will be doing because that will determine if you need a four-wheel drive or you only need an all-wheel drive SUV. From what you have told us I suspect that an SUV, such as a Kia Sorento, Toyota Kluger, or a Nissan X-Trail would be the best all-round vehicle for you. All of those would fit your budget, they will all go off-road to a reasonable degree, and they're all reliable. The Mitsubishi Triton is a hard-riding ute, which I don't think is what you want, but the Suzuki Grand Vitara is a good vehicle and would also fit your needs.

It could be any number of things I’m afraid. It’s clearly not the battery. If it doesn’t turn over when you turn the ignition key to start it could be a faulty starter motor; if it does crank, but doesn’t fire look at the ignition system.
