The Nissan X-Trail is a 4x4 looking for adventure and able to cope with anything thrown its way. With a tough exterior and spacious comfort inside the X-Trail is the intelligent choice when looking for a capable and durable crossover SUV.

Nissan X-Trail Dci Aventura 2006

Bought from new. Fine and comfortable at first. MPG never reached the stated figures - low 30s at best. Then the engine blew up on the dual carriageway - four years old and 78000 miles!! Still waiting for Nissan dealer to phone me back. Very disappointing. Very poor after sales service.

Nissan X-Trail Aventura 2006

Hello, Thought I had a brilliant small 4x4 and it has performed really well up until two weeks ago. Whilst driving at 50mls/hr I changed from 4th to 5th and suddenly there was no drive at all! No warning, no noise or smells, just no drive in 5th, or any other gear. No garage I have spoken to since knows why (including Nissan dealers) so I am awaiting a very long and expensive investigation involving removing gearbox and clutch and whatever else they think of. Has anyone else had this problem? Drive there one minute, gone the next, no warning lights in the management system, no obvious symptoms of clutch wear or anything else? Just when you think you have found a car to rely on you get this!! Cheers.

Nissan X-Trail Diesel 2006

The 3rd turbo is being fitted as I write!! The garage also tell me that the intercooler has developed a leak and needs changing. From new the dashboard has a rattle but only when cold and the general trim quality is rubbish. I have had many Nissan (Datsun) cars in the past but NEVER again. Renault, who own Nissan, have a lot to answer for!!!

Nissan X-Trail 2.0 Petrol 2006

Brilliant car!! Great value compared to others in its range and much faster on-road and capable off-road... Under full servicing. A door replaced because of minor accident which has many issues... but that is only the dealers fault... I love the car and it does not have mechanical issues... no matter how roughly it gets treated. It got hit on a speedbreaker twice at 80kmph and thrice at 60kmph and only thing that happened was a loose skid plate!!!!! Well my actual location is Nairobi, Kenya.

Nissan X-Trail SVE 2006

140,000 miles up. 36mpg. Okay it has blown 1 turbo, intercooler and fuel pump at 59,999 - but not long after I filled with petrol by mistake. Otherwise far far far better than my previous two Freelander’s (both mk1 and >100,000 miles). As a forester I am hard on my 4x4 but the Xtrail is excellent - and very good on tarmac - faster and almost as good handling as the Freelander. (Freelander feels tougher off road and is probably better but for the insanely high first gear and lack of low down grunt).

Nissan X-Trail Columbia 2.2 CDi 2006

I purchased my pre-registered 2006 Colombia X Trail 2.2 cdi in July 2007 with delivery miles only. It came highly recommended and I believed the official MPG figures - big mistake! After 3000 miles I achieved 30 MPG at best. Nissan dealer and Nissan customer services said this was acceptable! I have now completed 22000 miles and average has gone up to 32 MPG. After a few weeks the rubber trim round both rear doors came away and the plastic studs were lost. Nissan dealer could only sell me the complete seal - £160.00 plus VAT per door! Nissan Customer service offered me a 10% discount. Local body shop obtained the plastic studs and fixed the seals - no charge! My first service cost £175.00 and the bill came with a £560.00 plus VAT list of extras (not under warranty) that I should have done. I took the car to a local garage and they agreed some of the items needed done but most did not and charged me £120.00 including VAT for the lot. If you buy, do not expect quality after sales back up or the economy figures they claim. By the way I have just sold mine!

Nissan X-Trail Columbia Diesel 2.2 2006

I have owned the vehicle from new, June 2006. I have found the engine to be very noisy. Under warranty the injectors have be replaced but it is still noisy. On the annual service this year I mentioned it again and was told after test that it was the norm for this engine. Disappointed. In May 2008 when we travelled down to the French Alps towing a 1500Kg caravan. On coming out of La Mure on the N85 the vehicle overheated within the first part of the climb I had to stop and let it cool down. On re starting the journey from stand still it only just coped, but I could not get out of first gear for the rest of the climb and had to stop a second time, overheated again. On the flat or lower grade mountain roads, for example on the A75 from Milau to Beziers it is OK. I will be get rid very soon but not for another X-Trail.
