Nissan X-TRAIL 2009 Video Review

AS NEW

Riding on a wave of success with its X-Trail, Nissan chose to tweak the compact SUV rather than re-invent it when it launched the new model in 2007. As a result the new model looked similar to the outgoing one until you got up close and saw the changes in detail. If you dug deep enough you'd find it was longer, wider and taller, with more interior space, but it was also heavier.

The 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine carried over from the earlier model, but had lower noise, vibration and harshness levels, better fuel economy, and its mid-range response was improved. The engine was a willing performer, but with extra weight to haul around its zip was dulled a little.
