It had a mild makeover a couple of years back, but most recently Nissan introduced an all-new powertrain upgrade to the is one petrol and one diesel engine to choose from - both of which offer improved economy and efficiency compared to the units they replace. In addition, there are six-speed manual, CVT auto or seven-speed DCT gearboxes on can also select from trim levels called Visia, Acenta, Acenta Premium, N-Connecta and Tekna with the option of all-wheel drive too. On The Road Performance The latest Nissan X-Trail is available with a new DIG-T 160PS petrol engine in 2WD and with a Dual Clutch Transmission DCT. Diesel fans have a dCi 150PS unit that is available in 2WD or 4WD mated to a six-speed manual or CVT automatic opted for the new petrol-powered X-Trail in range-topping Tekna trim level with five seats. This car with the 1,332cc engine, 160PS of power and 270Nm of torque could reach 62mph from a standing start in seconds and topped out at seven-speed gearbox is new to the X-Trail and it’s a very welcome addition offering smooth gear changes and plenty of rapid-fire acceleration. There are no paddles or different drive modes apart from Eco to take control of the reaction times, but the latest model handles really similar to the dynamics offered by the slightly smaller Qashqai, so no complaints there then. It corners well with ample grip and any body sway is kept to a minimum. It’s a car that covers all bases well, proving happy cruising at motorway speeds, but just as content on the daily school run weaving through the traffic jams with ease thanks to the light steering and great we tested a 2WD model on this occasion, the 4WD X-Trail is quite capable away from the Tarmac and ideal for towing a caravan across boggy ground on a family holiday. Ride Handling Despite its size - the X-Trail measures nearly metres in length and is metres wide - this mid-sized family SUV handles pretty well when faced with the open it’s not the fastest vehicle out of the blocks, but it’s nicely composed and balanced through the country lanes and B roads. It’s not often a car fitted with larger wheels performs that well, but even when riding on 19-inch alloy wheels the X-Trail displayed very little sign of body sway, unless bends were attacked too enthusiastically in which case it jumped and fidgeted quite a bit. The suspension set-up is relatively soft, allowing it to soak up most dips and bumps along the way. And the car features some dynamic drive technologies to make day-to-day trips more enjoyable. The Intelligent Trace Control applies small amounts of braking on individual wheels for confident handling around corners. The Intelligent Ride Control applies subtle braking to prevent too much jarring over bumps. And the Intelligent Engine Brake comes into force when driving through a light bend or stopping. This system smoothly adds small amounts of engine braking to assist the Intelligent Park Assist is another great feature when faced with a tight space. Simply line up the car and it will take care of all the steering for you. Styling The latest Nissan X-Trail has a truly premium feel to it, both inside and out. It looks far more dynamic than the model it replaced with sweeping curves and eye-catching design cues such as a black honeycomb front grille, chrome window surrounds, satin roof rails, rear privacy glass and 19-inch machine cut alloy V-Motion front grille links to the boomerang-shaped front headlights giving the vehicle an athletic appearance and standards are just as impressive within the levels are high with neat leather upholstery throughout, along with front and rear seats that can be heated, plus a heated steering wheel to fend off the chill in the winter car is well insulated so occupants are protected from any engine or road surface noise. In fact, Nissan has introduced aerodynamic panels around the pillars which together with a low aerodynamic underbody make for a quieter ride as well as minimising fuel is a little wind sound when travelling on motorways which is quite normal for high-sided and upright SUV car’s highly effective suspension system also deserves a mention as it does a very worthy job of smoothing out bumps and dips along the way. In The Car Behind the Wheel With powered front seats and a fully adjustable steering wheel, getting the perfect driving position behind the wheel of the X-Trail takes just a matter of seconds. The driver is treated to excellent all-round visibility thanks to the elevated seating position and all controls, dials and instrumentation is easy to operate on the fly in this very driver-focused there’s oodles of on-board technology to get to grips with too, especially on the range-topping Tekna X-Trail. It boasts an upgraded eight-speaker Bose sound system, Nissan Connect touchscreen navigation and entertainment system, DAB radio, a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity. On the downside, there is no smartphone link via Apple CarPlay or Android particularly liked the separate panel for any climate control functions, so you can adjust the temperature simply without having to access and navigate a distracting touchscreen cabin is bright and upmarket with light flooding into the car via the sunroof, although this fixture does eat into the passenger head space within the D-shaped steering wheel is leather clad and is nicely responsive with plenty of driver feedback - it’s also simple to set and adjust the cruise control on the move without taking your hands from the wheel. Space & Practicality There’s no denying the practicality of the Nissan X-Trail with the option of seven seats on some models. It’s a vehicle designed for the active family and lives up to all the boot capacity of 565 litres can be increased to an impressive 1,196 litres with the rear seats dropped flat and the boot has a double floor which is great for tucking bits and pieces away from sight. And the tailgate is power-operated which is ideal when approaching the car with shopping bags for hands-free feature on our car was the panoramic sunroof which, despite letting light flood into the cabin, does impact slightly upon the head space available so taller passengers may find their curls touching the headlining. Leg and shoulder room in the back is impressive though and three adults could sit across quite comfortably if necessary. The 6040 split-folding rear seats also recline slightly for improved addition, there are front cup holders, rear cup holders in the drop-down central armrest, a glovebox, sunglasses compartment, a coin holder, trays, door pockets with space for a large bottle, plus a large central cubby rear doors open nice and wide so access to the likes of child seats is easy enough and the high seating makes this car ideal for anyone with mobility X-Trail is available with seven seats as an option. These seats fold flat into the boot floor and are fine for children but not really suitable for the car is to be used for towing, then the diesel version is superior with a two tonnes limit compared to the tonnes of the petrol-driven vehicle.

The best cruising speed is betweenNewCars Review Sunday, June 23, 2013. Nissan Livina X-Gear and Machine Reliable on Suspension Livina X-Gear car more familiar known as the Nissan X gear (without "livina"), a car with a 1500 cc engine capacity is arguably the car that has a pretty good ability on the machine and have a pretty good comfort in the crossover class (we willThis is the fourth generation of Nissan’s flagship SUV, if you can believe it. It started off as a cheap and chunky pseudo 4x4 back in 2001, part of the vanguard of soft-roaders that included the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and Land Rover Discovery Sport. Like those two cars, the X-Trail has gently poshed up and smoothed out its rough edges over the years, with Nissan trying to ape the success of its smaller Qashqai crossover in a larger - Page continues below Indeed, the X-Trail’s main sell is that it comes with seven seats, and now in a more fuel-sipping form thanks to Nissan’s quirky petrol hybrid powertrain. Is that enough to give it the edge over the all-round packages like the Skoda Kodiaq, Kia Sorento or Dacia Jogger? What’s so quirky about Nissan’s hybrid set-up? It’s still on very familiar territory for most drivers – you put petrol in the petrol hole and the car moves along when you prod the accelerator. Some people care about what happens in-between, some don’t. What’s interesting about Nissan’s e-Power gubbins is that the petrol engine doesn’t actually power the wheels, that’s all down to a 201bhp electric motor. The petrol bit just acts as a generator and has fancy tech that enables it to vary its compression ratio to burn petrol more efficiently at different loads. The standard configuration is two-wheel drive, but you can spend a bit more and get your X-Trail kitted with a 134bhp e-motor on the rear axle for four-wheel drive or e-4orce, as Nissan calls it. The onboard computer trickery tells the car to produce the power where it’s needed, which means the 4x4 version of the X-Trail produces 211bhp at the wheels. So will I need to plug it in? People’s reactions to the words “self-charging” will vary in extreme ways, but Nissan is marketing the X-Trail as an electric vehicle that charges itself up. Nice try. This sort of hybrid powertrain is a solid bridging technology to full electric though instead of plugging it in, the car stores up energy that would otherwise be wasted under braking and keeps it safe in a reasonably tiny - Page continues belowThere’s a mild hybrid option available too, which just has the 161bhp petrol from the hybrid cars powering the wheels itself but with the help of a mildly beefed up battery that enables it to coast and use stop-start for extended periods. The entry level mild hybrid manages the 0–62mph run in seconds, the 2WD hybrid in eight seconds and the 4WD model in seven seconds, while fuel consumption for the three comes in at around 40mpg, 50mpg and 45mpg. We drove the e-4orce 4WD car for a week and it came reasonably close to its official figures, in the low 40s. Is the X-Trail as posh as it thinks it is? If you’re trading up from a lesser Nissan, or even a lesser older X-Trail, you’ll be impressed by the swanky interior that’s available in top spec trims the infotainment screen doesn’t pop up on the standard equipment list until N-Connecta spec, for instance, but the X-Trail feels spacious, airy and plush inside. Likewise there’s plenty of room in the middle row of the car the sixth and seventh seats are for child use only really and the low window line along the doors and panoramic roof standard on Tekna cars, optional on N-Connecta let plenty of light in. We didn’t rate the shiny plastics around the gear selector and touchscreen, mind – they get smeared with fingerprints and other grubbiness quite quickly. At least there are plenty of storage areas up front to hide your microfibre cloth in. There were elements of the car we drove where the build quality let the overall package down – a bit of thunk over small bumps, say, or the variable boot floor that rattled and created a fuss over speed humps. Any other rivals I should look at? Beyond the Kodiaq, Sorento and Jogger, you've got the Toyota RAV4 against which this car was benchmarked, Mazda CX-5 and VW Tiguan Allspace. Heck, we'd throw the Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Highlander into the mix as well, although Nissan thinks they're too large to count as direct the verdict?“Seven-seaters are expensive to run, so anyone in the market for one will be grateful for the X-Trail's hybrid economy boost”The latest version of the X-Trail looks much less like its Qashqai sibling these days, but has borrowed a lot from its sibling and retains the useful traits of practical day to day family usability and economy. Seven-seaters by their nature are expensive to run, so anyone in the market for one will be grateful for the added economy boost from the hybrid set-up. This segment is as crowded as they come, however, and it's a pity there isn't much more to the X-Trail than being big and frugal. ReviewNissan Grand Livina X-Gear 2013: Fitur Keselamatan.

Overview Flexible, durable, and mobile, the X-Gear Magnetic Spin Bike is a perfect at-home exercise bike that fits right in with any home gym or personal workout plan. A newcomer from the X-Gear exercise line, the X-Gear magnetic spin bike is a portable and powerful spin bike perfectly designed for the beginner cyclist looking to break into the spin world. The X-Gear magnetic spin bike is designed and made for the cycling newbie. Portable and lightweight, this bike is built for gentle training and at-home work, so you can begin building your cycling career without breaking the bank or spending all your cash at once. Costing just $300 USD, this is definitely an affordable purchase and a great entry into the home fitness world while sticking to a budget. The technical capabilities of the X-Gear bike are nothing to sneeze at, either. Offering quiet yet powerful magnetic resistance, a 36 lb fixed flywheel that drives the intensity of your workout up higher and higher without having to lift a finger, and an included cycling app that tracks and synchronizes all your workout data for seamless integration into your fitness routines, the X-Gear team goes above and beyond to offer high-quality performance and durability at a low price. Most top indoor cycling bikes on the market include some type of digital console to help cyclists track performance and endurance metrics with ease while they ride. The X-Gear bike innovates by taking that digital monitor directly to your personal device. While there is no LCD monitor included, instead the bike works in perfect synchronicity with its partner app to track your performance live and transmit and store that fitness data on your personal device. With an adjustable seat and well-balanced height and width proportions, this indoor cycling bike was made to fit in. The cushioned bike seat and multi-grip handlebars are designed to move wherever you want them, becoming perfectly customizable to your body and your needs. This bike can accommodate a variety of riders heights ranging from 4 feet to 6’6” with total dimensions of 41 x 21 x 44 inches and a maximum weight capacity of 330 lbs. X-Gear Bike Comparison! This is where I compared the X-Gear indoor cycling bike with similarly priced indoor bikes on the market and let you know if there is a better option for this price point. Currently, in 2020, the X-Gear is a good value for its price $280. Thanks to the RPM reading, Bluetooth technology, and a combination of belt-drive with magnetic resistance, you will get a good indoor ride. However, there is one serious drawback associated with this indoor bike there is no display monitor. So, if you want to see your workout progress, you need to use your phone Android and IOS and subscribe to the X-Gear cycling app without additional cost. If this is an issue for you or you don’t care about the RPM reading, I suggest you ignore the X-gear model and consider one of the best budget spin bikes we reviewed recently. More specifically, you can take a look at the VIGBODY spin bike. It has the same price tag and comes with the belt-driven transmission, magnetic resistance, a tracking monitor, and also a heavier flywheel and more user weight capacity.

Thanks to its industrial smooth drive belt system and powerful yet portable frame, it meets a variety of needs while performing well in every category. The belt and flywheel work in tandem to create a challenging yet quiet workout, and its included transport wheels and extremely light weight just 88 lbs mean that you can easily wheel and plant this bike wherever you want to work out without having to huff, puff, and haul it all over the place. From its portability to its compact yet extensive design and performance, the X-Gear magnetic spin bike is sure to be a great fit for any new cyclist. Fitness Monitor Integration There is no LCD monitor on the bike;Instead, an included app tracks all the things you’d expect a monitor to typically cover on your personal deviceMeasures time, calories, distance, speed, and cadenceThis indoor is only compatible/synchs with the X-Gear application not Zwift. The lack of monitor on the X-Gear bike took us by surprise at first, but the app’s capabilities do make up for it. The app is designed to be downloaded on your personal devices or whatever you prefer to track your workout on, and its Bluetooth capabilities mean that it tracks your progress in live time due to feedback from the bike, just like a standard monitor would. However, this design brings some negatives as well if your device is dead or you just don’t have one, you’re out of luck when it comes to workout feedback. The app itself is rather limited in the modes and tracking it offers, but the few it does track are very effective. One particular bonus is the cadence monitors. Not many bikes include such tracking. While cycling, there are two key inputs to how hard you’re working – cadence and resistance. As the resistance goes up, it becomes harder to maintain the same cadence, or speed at which you’re pedaling. Cadence is measured in pedal revolutions per minute RPMs and measuring and tracking your cadence will help you make your pedal stroke more efficient. For beginners, learning to work with cadence is essential to building workout endurance skills and scaling your way up to eventual spin workouts or classes, if that’s your goal. Toe-Cage Pedals Pedals have toe cages for extra gripThere is no SPD elements for cycling shoes The pedals included on the X-Gear bike are fairly standard simple bike pedals with included toe cages to keep your feet from slipping off the pedal mid stride. However, the lack of SPD compatibility is concerning. SPD is a must-have for any serious cyclist. Most SPD pedals are double sided – that means you can clip into either side of the pedal, which makes starting from stationary a lot easier. Some riders prefer the additional security that comes from increased release tension, but if you’re just starting out you may want less tension. For beginning riders, not being able to train with SPD compatibility could be a major hurdle later on if you’re looking to increase your spinning abilities, but if you’re just looking for a plain-Jane indoor bike these pedals will do the trick. You can also always order SPD-equipped replacement pedals we’ve got a list of our favorites here to check out as well. X-Gear Flywheel 36 Lb fixed flywheel bidirectional with resistanceDurable and stable, coated with chrome for maximum durabilityEmploys sleek and quiet magnetic resistance to drive up workout intensity Unlike bikes with traditional tension systems, bikes with magnetic resistance never come in contact with the flywheel, resulting in a silent, stable and virtually low maintenance experience. The X-Gear bike relies on seven magnets to provide smooth, silent riding and braking without any creaking or loud noises typically associated with chain or gear bikes. The fixed flywheel also encourages you to ramp up your workout; the motion of your pedaling drives the flywheel, so you can’t take a break or rely on gravity to coast through a section; you’ll have to keep pedaling and really get a strong workout in to maximize the benefits of the fixed flywheel. The heavy-duty crank system and durable and chrome-protected perimeter on the flywheel make it quite resistant to damage. The flywheel, like the rest of the bike, is built to last, so you’ll have no problem riding it for hours as you work your way toward your fitness goals. X-Gear Resistance The X-Gear features an adjustable magnetic resistance systemContinual adjustment knob cranks up resistance before or during rides The X-Gear bike is rather unique in its approach to adjusting resistance. Instead of having a set amount of resistance levels like many similar exercise bikes, the continuous adjustment knob allows a rider to adjust the resistance settings however they please at any given moment with the simple twist of a knob. While this does help the rider customize their intensity more specifically to their needs, it lacks the third-party or electronic resistance options that more advanced bikes offer, like resistance levels that simulate specific terrain or target specific workout types. Interval workouts are hard with knob adjustments, so this bike is better suited for long cardio-burn style rides than regular interval intensity changes. Handlebars and Seat Two-way adjustable handlebars not 4-wayFour-way adjustable padded seat for a comfortable setupIncluded personal device holder for tablets, phones, or books or magazines Another pro of the X-Gear magnetic spin bike is the personalization available due to the adjustable handlebars and seat. They have all the possible positions a rider could want and both riders who normally train indoors. And also those who ride outdoors can find their preferred arm positions with little to no trouble adjusting and creating a good fit. It also features a good two feet of height adjustment, so short and tall riders can share a bike without problems. For those in homes with more than one cyclist, especially who are of significantly different builds, this feature makes it much more convenient to switch back and forth from custom seat settings. Because of this adjustability, it allows the X-Gear bike to be used by just about any rider without a hassle. X-Gear Price and Warranty The X-Gear bike is currently priced at about $300 USD shipping included.The X-Gear bike’s warranty includes 18 months with a 100% customer satisfaction support, you can either contact them on Amazon or through their contact details Phone Number 6087742918 / Email service If you’re faced with parts issues, you’ll want to go straight to the source to handle Warranty related questions. You can reach the manufacturers here through their contact page They will walk you personally through the repair or exchange process for any damaged or malfunctioning parts. The affordability of this bike in comparison to the range of features it offers and the range of other bikes available is astonishing. These are great bikes for those who are just starting out in cycling and not ready to commit to a higher-end machine but do want to get in the game. As with most X-Gear items, the warranty will make sure that if you do decide to drop the money on this exercise machine, it will be protected 100% with a lengthy coverage period so you can truly test the machine and decide for yourself if it’s the right fit for you. Assembly and Shipping The X-Gear English manual and assembly tools are includedA free water bottle comes with the bikeAssembly is fairly easy with only a few parts to installSet-up time is about 30 minutes because the unit arrives mostly assembledShipping costs depend on where you purchase the bike from, as some carriers include free shippingYour X-Gear bike ships in one box that weighs around 90 poundsExpert assembly is not includedThey also have a 30-day return policy for this indoor bike. Aside from the bike, there are included bike assembly tools and manuals in the box, so you won’t need to buy, borrow or use other tools for assembly of the X-Gear bike. The assembly manual is very easy to follow as long as you pay attention to detail and can follow basic instructions and diagrams. It is recommended to do the assembly with 2 people. The parts that you need to assemble are the pedals, seat, and handlebars. The flywheel, drive mechanism, and crank arms come pre-assembled. Note! “To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.” “To start a return, you can contact us at service If your return is accepted, they’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.” X-Gear Indoor Bike Pros Portable and Compact designThis is one of the most portable and lightweight bikes out there. Weighing just 88 pounds, anyone can move this bike around easily. The included front wheels make transport even easier, so you can wheel the bike to wherever you feel like exercising today and then quickly push it back into its storage place until you’re ready to use it again. Magnetic Resistance AdjustmentThe continuous adjustment knob on the magnetic resistance is another highlight. Implementing personalized resistance levels is a piece of cake with the knob system, and it’s very easy to customize the resistance to fit your needs and your workout without struggling against pre-sets or factory defaults. Cadence Sensors and BluetoothThe included cadence tracking through the app is perhaps the best feature of this bike. It allows for seamless use with a variety of studio and workout types and tracks cadence rates for intensifying your workout. Not many other bikes offer such benefits for as low a price point as X-Gear does, so this is definitely a major pro. X-Gear Indoor Bike Cons No MonitorThis is a con that will really depend on the rider. Most bikes include an LCD monitor as a standard, so the lack of one can feel rather awkward, especially if you’re not used to having to track your workouts on personal devices. However, some may find that the freedom of not having a monitor improves their personal workout performance, so it’s truly a matter of personal preference. No SPD-PedalsThe lack of SPD-integrated pedals is disappointing and really sets this bike into the beginner category as opposed to an overall win. SPD is a huge component of spin and cycling, so not having pedals that are compatible with cleats or other elements of the SPD pedaling system feels like a major miss. Though you can easily replace your pedals with third-party options, we wish you wouldn’t have to spend the extra cash right away and that they’d simply be included with the bike. 2-Way Adjustable HandlebarsThe two-way adjustment only vertically not horizontal makes the X-Gear bike less adaptable to some cyclists, especially shorter and taller users. With that said, most spin bikes in this price tag don’t come with fully adjustable handlebars, at least not that we are aware of. To make up for the lack of adjustment this bike comes with two built-in convenient accessory holders on the handlebars. Final Thought on X-Gear Cycle The X-Gear Magnetic Spin Bike is a great bike for its price point, but its limited performance and capabilities set it back as far as overall opinions. The lack of SPD pedals is a huge loss, and the pedals themselves have been reported to crack or break with repeated use, leading us to believe they’re of a lower quality than the rest of the bike. However, what the X-Gear Magnetic Spin Bike lacks in pedal durability, it makes up for in simple spin. The magnetic flywheel resistance system of the X-Gear bike is top-notch and perfect for beginners and even intermediate spinners. The seven-magnet resistance network makes braking and starting smooth, silent, and effortless, a great thing to have when you’re in the middle of an intensive workout. The knob adjustments, though challenging to use for interval workouts, are great for presetting levels for long cardio-heavy rides and can really help you up your workout through personal customization to the specific resistance level you need. The adjustable seat and handlebars make it a flexible fit for every rider, and its ease of transport and compact design mean it’s easily accessible and stored whether you’re at home or away. At the end of the day, the X-Gear is a good beginner bike, but it’s not our favorite pick. It’s affordable and the magnetic flywheel system is a huge draw, but the disappointing pedals and poor technology offerings set it back quite a bit. Though these issues could be resolved with a few replacements or product swaps, it seems easier to just search for a bike that offers everything you’re looking for in a good spin bike such as this heavy-duty HMC bike right off the bat. However, for the simple beginner looking for a cheap but high-performing bike to start their cycling journey, the X-Gear may just be the perfect fit for you. 6Expert ScoreThe X-Gear Magnetic Spin Bike does offer an amazing price point, but it’s got a few too many major cons to make it to the top of our recommendation list. The seamless incorporation of the stability flywheel and durable belt design are a big pro, but the lack of quality or SPD integrated pedals and an included LCD monitor set it back from other similar bikes on the market. The X-Gear Magnetic spin bike certainly serves as an excellent piece of exercise equipment for beginning users, but the underdeveloped pedal and technology components make it a poor fit for intermediate or advanced riders.

What we love Hugely practical with clever dual-floor cargo area that\'s also large and completely flat when rear seats folded plentiful storage one of the better \'softroaders\' off the bitumen What we don't Noisy diesel engine lethargic off-the-line acceleration lack of disciplined body control interior design short of flair rear seat space not that generous sunroof limits headroom The current, second-generation Nissan X-Trail enters its sixth year of production in 2013, yet remains one of Australia’s most popular the time of writing this review, in fact, the Japanese soft-roader is battling with the Toyota Prado and Mazda CX-5 to be the best-selling SUV locally for an all-new Nissan X-Trail on the cards and previewed by the Hi-Cross concept at the 2012 Geneva motor show, it’s time to revisit a model that faces a number of newer rivals since we last reviewed of the X-Trail’s competitors tend to feature styling that’s more jacked-up-oversized-hatchback than the traditional boxy, rugged 4WD look the Nissan came to market with in 2001 and retained for its replacement in covers the big-hatch-with-SUV-cues market with the Dualis that’s twinned with the X-Trail, though the curvier Hi-Cross suggests a new design direction for the third-generation rugged styling isn’t out of keeping, though, because the X-Trail is one of the most robust-feeling vehicles in its medium-SUV segment when it comes to especially true in the TL diesel AWD variant we was late bringing an oil-burning X-Trail to Australia, with the four-cylinder turbo diesel – from alliance partner Renault – arriving in a chunky 360Nm of torque from 2000rpm if you go with the standard manual gearbox, losing 40Nm if you opt for the six-speed auto that was fitted to our X-Trail a great deal todayInterested in this car? Provide your details and we'll connect you to a member of the Drive strong diesel adds to the X-Trail’s sense of solidity and strength on dirt and gravel roads, with the Nissan feeling more like a proper 4WD than most aids include downhill speed assist, decent approach and departure angles, and a 209mm ground clearance, and the X-Trail’s All Mode 4x4-i system combines sensors and vehicle-angle monitoring to automatically determine whether the propshaft needs to be engaged and send up to 50 per cent to the rear 4x4-i dial on the centre console, and below the centre stack, can be rotated to a LOCK position to fix the torque split at 5050 up to 40km/h, and can be turned in the opposite direction for 2WD for fuel-saving front-wheel back onto bitumen and the Nissan X-Trail’s ride quality doesn’t disintegrate into a jiggly mess like your common off-road-focused 4WD including its stablemate Pathfinder, but it’s not smooth, suspension will thump over sharper bumps and joins, as well as generally feeling a little nervous when travelling over lower-quality patches of X-Trail’s body can move about a lot, leaning noticeably through corners if the driver is pushing on and pitching noticeably under braking. The steering is agreeable, however. Although there’s a lethargic response to initial steering inputs, the leather-wrapped tiller is well weighted and travels from lock to lock diesel engine feels more at home in the bush, because its refinement falls short for an urban chugs away at idle before a rattling soundtrack accompanies acceleration. Initial acceleration is also sluggish in the auto version before that strong mid-range starts to make its simply no match for the quiet, frugal and punchy turbo diesel found in the rival Mazda CX-5 – which uses to the X-Trail's – or the Kia Sportage’s rival is the X-Trail’s interior design, which is somewhat plain and unimaginative and with a dash dominated by a chunky but fairly spartan centre the TL AWD it at least integrates standard touchscreen satellite navigation, albeit with basic graphics. It’s easy to use, though we’re not sure about the matron-like voice that dishes out directions in a patronising you’re after a practical SUV, though, the Nissan X-Trail the front door pockets are narrow they include a moulded section for bottles. Then there are the lidded cupholders at either end of the dashboard, another lidded compartment in the top of the dash, a console bin and an enormous double cargo floor in the rear is also clever thinking. The lower section includes a pull-out drawer that’s perfect for storing wet swim gear and the the lift-up upper floor and the boot’s capacity increases from 410 to 603 litres. The maximum cargo space enlarges to 1649 litres if you remove the rear headrests, tip the rear bench cushions forward after pulling release straps and fold the split reclinable seatbacks completely cargo floor also features a grippy surface and is easy to clean, while the boot features pull-out hooks, 12V socket and a cargo packaging of the Nissan X-Trail isn’t perfect for a vehicle that stretches beyond metres in seat legroom isn’t as generous as some rivals, and the panoramic sunroof standard in the TL AWD limits the more expensive model of the two trims available for diesel X-Trails, the $42,990 TL is loaded with addition to the aforementioned sat-nav, sunroof and off-road aids, other equipment includes leather seating, electrically adjustable heated front seats, DVD player, full Bluetooth hook-up, cruise control, front/side/curtain airbags, climate control, keyless entry and start, auto headlights, and a reverse-view there are 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, LED tail-lights and rain-sensing can get into a Nissan X-Trail from just $28,490 before on-road costs are added if you’re happy to forgo AWD and a number of features, and trade the turbo diesel for a 102kW/196Nm four-cylinder in the middle of the engine options is a 125kW/226Nm four-cylinder petrol. Both petrols come as standard with a six-speed manual but buyers can pay extra for a CVT six years on, then, the Nissan X-Trail remains one of the most practical offerings in the medium-SUV showing its age, however, in terms of cabin design and diesel engine refinement, while a number of rivals also deliver better on-road manners.
