I've been a Nissan fan for 15 years, had a Dualis +2, Qashqai and now an X-Trail. Every Nissan I have owned has never skipped a beat, and I was fortunate to find a dealership in Castle Hill that aren't like the others. The car gives a great driving… Read more
experience and quality finish. Best fuel consumption so far is 5.1 l/100 km, with heaps of added technology add-ons. Only problem was the buying experience was awful. Sales manager trying underhanded tactics to fob an 18 month old car on me with a $500 discount. Follow up and updates they promised never happened. Test drive car was disgusting, filthy and did not create a good impression.
Follow-up · 7 months and the seats are super comfy, although the material they use for the upholstery could be better, so I invested in custom seat covers. The technology in the car is at times too much and I have turned some of the options off (like steering assist). Driving on the motorway and through the burbs is an absolute pleasure.
Bought our new car from Total Nissan ,Cannington WA. What a great experience we had from Steve,Serena and Karan. Hassle free from start to finish. The service from them is A1, really appreciate it! Highly recommended Car yard and the Nissan X-trail Ti AWD e-force is the car of the future, glide with ease and economical on the petrol! Nissan is the brand of the future! Watch out Toyota!

Doggy dealership – After complaining numerous times with Nissan Liverpool and Nissan Australia, finally another dealer (Nissan Chullora) identified the fault in our 2023 Nissan Xtrail. See link where Steve Anderson clearly mentioned “he has identified the issue regarding my concern and said he collected all the data and supplied to Nissan Australia -… Read more
https://aunz.citnow.com/vt7zw7KD897 but the replacement Case manager from Nissan Australia, [Name Removed], will still not accept the fault in the vehicle. Initially when we bought the vehicle, we thought that the greater degree of sensation experienced while driving was because of a wheel alignment issue, but the representative from Nissan Chullora advised that he suspects that it has to do with steering gear, and they are waiting to hear back from Nissan Australia on the issue. The fact that Nissan Australia did not take any action after the issue was reported to them shows their lack of commitment in honouring warranty issues. Apart from sensation issue, vehicle pulls to another lane causing serious safety risk which is also mentioned in the review by cars guide.com.au as an obvious safety issue. All these issues were already reported Nissan Liverpool from our first complaint. See link for their review on 2023 Nissan Xtrail - https://www.carsguide.com.au/nissan/x-trail/problems/2023. We contacted Nissan Liverpool Service Manager, Dealer Principal, [Name Removed] and Case Managers, [Name Removed], and [Name Removed] from Nissan Australia numerous times but they don’t respond to our emails and calls within a reasonable time unless we continuously follow up with calls and emails. [Name Removed] advised to have the vehicle checked with another dealer which took weeks to book in, hence causing kilometres to rise. Isn’t this deliberate? Finally, when the issue is identified then, [Name Removed] won't respond to my emails and calls. Then another Case Manager, [Name Removed], will take over the case, who will deny that there is any fault in the vehicle by saying that it is normal characteristics of the vehicle and the sensation issue experienced is reasonably expected because of the kilometres of the vehicle. Please note that this issue was first reported immediately after purchasing the vehicle and at that time, they blamed it to uneven tyre pressure and now [Name Removed] will blame it to kilometres after dragging the case for so long. Considering the way everything has been dealt with by Nissan Liverpool and Nissan Australia, I will never recommend Nissan Liverpool and Nissan Australia to anyone. Extremely disappointed with them. Terrible vehicle and terrible company to deal with. Read all the 1star rating for this dealer and you will be automatically prompted to walk away from them for your peace of mind. Any response to this review from Nissan Australia or Nissan Liverpool is a hoax. NEVER EVER TRUST THIS DEALER!

Basic but fit for purpose – A Nissan X-Trail isn’t a luxury car, but it does make for a long-lasting family car. There are lots of hard plastics, and functionality appears to be the first goal of this car over luxury appointments. It may seem cheap by touch, but the materials used will last a lot longer than softer plastics and leather. Although, hard plastics do have a… Read more
tendency to rattle and squeak over time - it’s the reason why us car reviewers usually despise them.
At $37,565 drive-away, the ST-X model of the X-Trail wasn't a terrible deal. You get a lot of space, Apple CarPlay, automatic headlights, satellite navigation and a 360 degree parking camera (of questionable quality).
Really, you’re buying this car for the space. There’s space for five adults to be carried around, or for a family with growing kids. There’s also plenty of cargo space in the boot, making the X-Trail the logical budget-friendly choice for those looking for an SUV that’ll carry the most people and luggage.
Be warned though, that you could be putting that cash towards a far more updated version of the X-Trail in the coming months, or a more modern feeling Hyundai/Kia product.
Nissan offered a 5-year/unlimited kilometre warranty with the X-Trail and a capped price service program. It’s part of the appeal of buying a new X-Trail, however keep in mind Kia offers a 7-year warranty if that’s what you’re after.
Over the long term, it’s a simple car, mechanically speaking. The only main issue our reviewers said they encountered were some concerns about the CVT automatic transmission, but this seems to only be found with older models.
A Nissan X-Trail isn’t the most luxurious vehicle when it comes to sound.
There’s an uninspiring exhaust and engine drone as this is a utility family car, not some track-focused performance SUV.
Along with the engine sound, the speaker system is just fine. You’ll want to ensure that speed-sensitive volume adjustment is enabled. Road noise can become more apparent at higher speeds and on coarse roads.
A basic SUV like this doesn’t weigh as much as you might think.
Braking is as familiar and easy as it is on your family’s hatchback. The X-Trail feels nimble and smooth to operate when slowing down for, say, a set of traffic lights or even a school zone.
It’ll be easy for a learner driver to master within a few moments of driving.
This has a 2.5L non turbocharged petrol engine. It produces 126kW and 226Nm, with all that power being sent to the front wheels via a CVT transmission.
It isn’t a terribly heavy SUV, since this is only FWD, so power to weight is around 86.4kW per tonne. Acceleration feels more rapid than it actually is thanks to a sharp initial response from the motor and transmission. Once peak revs are reached, that’s where the X-Trail feels a little slow.
Unless you’re constantly overtaking on country roads, the X-Trail has no problem keeping up with traffic on your daily commute and on the highway. Loading up this SUV with a few more passengers and a lot of luggage, however, will put this weaker powertrain to the test up steep hills.
There are simulated gears programmed into the CVT transmission, however, when in Drive, you’re only going to experience one.
Shifting into gear is as traditional as it gets for an automatic. There’s nothing complicated about engaging and using this gearbox. It simply gets the job done, and always ensures the engine is at the lowest rpm, and in the optimal rpm range for rapid accelerations.
I found the X-Trail to be supremely comfortable. Plenty of tire wall, suspension travel and height over the ground allowed for it to make traveling from A to B as easy as it should be. Whether touring on the highway, navigating potholes or making tight turns, the X-Trail is able to do it all smoothly.
A vague steering feel does nothing to encourage any spirited driving however.
The X-Trail is relatively fuel efficient, despite lacking a turbocharger and having a naturally aspirated petrol engine. I saw figures around 8-10L per 100km of driving.
My issue with this old design of the X-Trail is the interior. It’s a bland design and really is built with the ethos of ‘function over form’.
Amongst a sea of hard plastics and fake stitching, there are plenty of hard buttons. These are used to control menus on the centre touch screen, climate controls and drive modes. Unfortunately, there’s only one USB port for the entire cabin, highlighting the fact that the new X-Trail is rapidly approaching to replace this model we see here.
The centre touch screen serves best as a display for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, via a wire.
There’s a large manual hatchback, which reveals the main appeal for buying an X-Trail. Its cargo carrying capacity is 595L of storage with all the seats up, and 945L with all the seats down. Seats fold in a 40:20:40 split, further justifying just how practical this SUV really is.
If you’re lacking space for smaller items, you can open up the boot floor to reveal plastic compartments. This is ideal for dirty luggage or to keep small items from rolling around.
The second row is great for a growing family because they can take advantage of the ISOFIX points and the acres of headroom, feet room and knee room. It’s going to be annoying to charge all of those devices just with one USB port, but at least your passengers will be able to bring their bags and be comfortable.
It’s a back to basics SUV that’ll serve as the family hauler for a growing family. It’s got plenty of space, it’s easy to drive and it’s easy to use. That’s what makes this basic X-Trail so appealing, and makes me appreciate it being sold right up until the new one lands here later this year.

Better than you might expect – I had an X-Trail for around 3 years as a company vehicle. It left me with just under 70,000km on the clock, so you wouldn't expect too many problems. I had reservations about the CVT transmission from what I'd heard but in practice it suits the X-Trail well once you're used to the revs not always matching speed. The main positives were comfort,… Read more
space, reliability and safety features. The 360 degree camera is well-implemented and genuinely useful when parking. The display is quite clear and easy to use. Seats in front and back are very comfortable and the soft material on door armrests is a nice touch. For a mid-size SUV the X-Trail did everything I needed. It's not exciting in any way, but as a work car it didn't need to be. The engine was willing enough and never felt as slow as I thought it might. Fuel economy was acceptable - usually 8L/100km in mixed driving. The best I could achieve was 5.4L/100km from Ballarat to Melbourne, being very careful on the throttle, late at night with no traffic. Handling was the usual soft SUV type, having a fair bit of body roll and understeer but always safe and predictable. I never looked forward to driving the X-Trail, but it was perfectly fit for purpose and gave no problems. I could not fault the outstanding dealer service at Northern Nissan in Bundoora. Would I choose an X-Trail for my own car? Probably not, but I can understand why people do.
2023 Nissan x-trail ePower e4orce – I’ve had my x-trail epower e4orce for nearly a year now, so here is my long-term review. Driving this car has been a pleasure. It is spacious and comfortable. It is smooth riding and quiet (most of the time), powerful and fast for a family SUV vehicle. Fuel economy is interesting with this vehicle. Nissan claims an average of 6.1 l/100 kms. Of… Read more
course you don’t expect to achieve manufacturer’s claims do you? I average about 5.7 without difficulty, including flooring the accelerator every now and then (just because it is fun to feel the power). Toyota RAV4 hybrid claims 4.8 l/100 kms but owners don’t seem to be able to achieve that in real world driving. Nissan seems to have been very modest with their fuel efficiency claims.
Accelerating is smooth because it is electric powered and needs no gear changes. The generator motor makes noticeable (but not intrusive) noise when accelerating hard. This is because it revs up to make more electricity when demand on the lithium battery requires that. In regular driving you would not know if the generator is running unless you have the dash display set up to show energy flow. When the motor is cold the noise from the generator motor is very noticable because of the variable combustion 3 cylinder motor. I’d liken it to a diesel rattle sound but it settles in a kilometre or so.
Driving down a mountain road provides an interesting experience as the generator motor revs up to discharge excessive electricity. Interesting. I've done highway trips up to 800 kilometres in a day. I can confirm that the seats remained comfortable all day. I’ve towed a box trailer full of garden soil - this load was noticeable but not more than in other vehicles.
I really like the 360-degree camera system. It is the clearest I’ve ever seen, so parking in tight spaces is a breeze.
Several driving modes are selectable. A dial in the centre console controls eco/power/auto/snow/off-road modes. These setting employ subtle changes in power delivery and traction controls. It also has a steep-hill descent mode. Pulling the gear selector back twice gives you “brake mode” with some engine braking providing regenerative braking. (My personal favourite driving mode). There are buttons to select EV mode or e-pedal mode. EV mode is suitable for a few kilometres of driving around the city but it will disengage as soon as you demand more vigorous driving. E-pedal gives one pedal driving with firm braking when you lift off the accelerator. This firm braking disengages at about 5 kph so you can coast into a parking spot without needing to use the accelerator pedal. It means that you do use the brake pedal for the last bit of stopping at traffic lights, etc.
The interior has a quality look and feel with soft-feel trim that helps soak up interior noise while looking great.
I like the auto headlight beam that uses the camera to detect oncoming headlights or taillights and dips the high beam in that area only so other drivers are not dazzled with high beam but the beam remains high in other areas.
One negative, I removed the cargo area curtain. It gets in the way when rolled back with a large flap hanging down.
There is no spare tire, just a repair kit or a call to roadside service. Thinking about this, last time I needed to change a tire I found my spare was flat anyway. I guess you could buy a spare tire and a jack if you wanted to go off the beaten track.
Well, I hope my comments are helpful. Without hesitation, I would buy the same car again tomorrow.

I won't go back to a petrol car – Better than expected over my previous T32-11 which I have owned for 6 years that has been an excellent vehicle in every respect. The very linear excelleration and incredibly quiet aspects of the T33 are the icing on the cake , I get from 2.2ltr -6.5 ltr per 100 km fuel usage as well as not having to plug into a charger if going on a long trip… Read more
.The build quality and detail is very much better as well as the navigation roadholding and comfort to my previous T32-11 .Would I go back to a petrol car ? If you drove this car you wouldn't buy any ICE as it is constant dual motor driving and doesn't rev like crazy between gear changes at the lights as traction and torque to the wheels is so linear you can't believe all the roaring and wheel spinning involved in other cars as well as the exhaust smoke .Minuses - ok so its heavier but its not as bad as most EV's and as a result it doesn't bounce around so much as my earlier car which didn't have all of the things like 360 deg camera etc .But for what I paid for it I am so happy .
NISSAN X-TRAIL (LEMON) – I bought a Nissan X trail just over 12 months ago.......So far I've dropped it off at Gosford Nissan 5 times for a side mirror malfunction........ I've now gone to Wyong Nissan........I have a noise in the front at low speed but they said they can't find anything , obviously something as it still makes the noise....... My radio has a malfunction… Read more
the sound stopped even at full volume, I rang the service centre who rang me back ..... told me to try again and it had volume again, obviously a fault.........The air conditioning has a mind of its own.... we turn it on and 1 side has cold air and the other side has hot air (BOTH SIDES ARE SET AT 22 DEGREES) But the good thing is is changes sides LOL .... Still hot one side cold the other...... And when using cruise control it sometimes brakes when it detects a parked car on a bend......... I traded a 12 months old Everest on this car as my wife has back issues so we downsized....... Biggest mistake we've made...... on a pension and now we're stuck with it as we can't afford to change..... UPDATE.....I've made contact with Nissan Australia.... Their Customer Service Consultant sent me an E-mail suggesting I take it to the local Nissan dealer, pay out of my own pocket to have it diagnosed... If it shows it's a manufacturers problem we will review the cost and consider financial support TOWARDS the repair............. I may be mistaken..... but I was of the understanding that if a new car has a 5 YEAR WARRANTY that the manufacturer of the car in question is responsible for ALL COSTS associated with fixing the vehicle in question..... Now I may be stupid BUT the problems that I've outlined are obviously manufacturing problems......
IF I CAN SAVE JUST ONE PERSON FROM MAKING THIS MISTAKE THEN THIS REVIEW IS WORTH IT....
DON'T BUY A NISSAN X-TRAIL.......
XTrail 2003... Hard to beat my Camry but this comes VERY close – Great car to drive, VERY reasonable for parts if you are resourceful. Drove 10hrs to Brisbane multiple times and usually 150km per week.I have 2093 T30 2.5L auto petrol. I had it in neutral at the lights, lights changed and someone behind me beeped. I instinctively put my foot down and shot the transmission. Had it taken to "nearest joint" by my… Read more
NRMA roadside assistance (was actually far away) and old mate told me because it's a 4WD (BIG job?!) And the cost of the replacement part would be looking at $5000. I confirmed exactly what I was looking for and sourced a replacement part from a wrecker interstate that could be delivered in 3 days for $550! Ebay! After I checked with a few other mechanics I told him that I believe $600 for labour is fair and ended up paying no more than $1150 for the whole thing...
BIG NITE THOUGH: I'd just had new suspension struts springs and coios put in and when I looked under my car not long after, the SPRINGS WERE BLACK not yellow...

absolutely great given the towed weight and 110kmh speed, and is stable when towing. It a very comfortable vehicle and in my opinion it out does hybrid or electric vehicles given hybrid or electric vehicles could not tow 1700 kgs at 110 kph. Truly a great vehicle.

If you keep up with regular engine oil and transmission fluid changes, this car will serve you well for the long haul. For the best fuel efficiency, cruising at speeds between 70–80 km/h delivers great mileage—I’ve achieved as low as 5.9 L/100 km. Even at a steady 100 km/h without frequent stops, the car still offers impressive mileage. Truly a great vehicle. Show details

Stitching came apart in leather seats within 18 months of owning leaving a gaping hole in seat. Warranty refused because apparently stitching that comes apart in a seat is labelled as damage by the owner. No replies from Nissan to justify this conclusion . Show details
My new Nissan X-Trail, bought in Jan 2024, has been a major disappointment. The wing mirrors vibrate constantly that remains unfixed even after service visits. The heads-up display also frequently fails, and the front suspension makes a swishing noise over speed bumps. These are significant issues for a brand-new car. Save yourself the hassle and buy a different car.
Nissan Bad. Stay Away – Rubbish I will never buy Nissan Again. I always bought Toyotas and first time bought Nissan and it has big problems, This car's got turbo leak started at 110k km. Costing about $5 to $6 k at Sutton Chullora Sydney.

speeds is a bit intrusive and handling is neutral- not good and not bad. Overall it has proven to be a good solid workhorse for our family and we recently looked to upgrade it but the price of cars combined with reliability issues from modern cars and the nanny state safety issues plauging them we decided not to sell and just keep her.
Practical SUV for the family – Not perfect but great value in a package. It's got one of the highest base in its class, yet good body roll because its aussie tuned suspension. Very agile to drive in city and country. Super practical central storage and boot arrangement. One of the easiest adaptive cruise control around, and I love using the self steering on highway.

Great car let down by poor customer service and cost cutting – In 2021, I bought a Nissan car during the COVID pandemic. However, I faced several issues with the car. The adaptive cruise control did not work correctly until two years of service, and I had to complain loudly at the front desk to get it fixed. The speed sensors and many safety features were not activated on delivery, and I had to go through all… Read more
the settings. The passenger seat warmer was also not connected, which was fixed during the first service, even though they denied any fault.
The car lacked badging,(approximately $10 for Ti label). Additionally, the windows did not close after the shutdown, which required me to purchase a relay for $200. The salesperson had assured me that it had this feature. Furthermore, the driver fatigue indicator does not work even after a 5-hour driving trip, and the forward camera switches off too soon, requiring repetitive reactivation.
Another issue I faced was with the map search functionality, which did not work unless I typed the number, street, and suburb. It could not find Kings Park in Perth and Alexander Drive, a major road, and has taken me on a huge detour multiple times. This causes immense frustration when driving. The ECO switch is a safety issue located at the driver's right knee.
The car itself is fine but has been let down by minor irritations and the absence of responsibility from Nissan to fix minor faults. I will not be buying a Nissan again.

A modern day version of the original X-Trail. And far superior to the previous generation – I managed to get my hands on the last of the previous generation X-Trail to review before this new generation arrived. I was far from impressed seeing as it was a dreadfully old car against a sea of overwhelmingly strong competitors. It was time for that to retire and make room for this. The new X-Trail manages to capture the essence of what… Read more
made the first generation so appealing. It's design. The boxy rectangle returns in a more modern form.
There's a simple non-turbocharged 4 cylinder under the engine (which is paired to a CVT motor). That's appealing for buyers who are looking for a cheaper to maintain engine, and don't mind the slightly higher than average fuel consumption an engine like this would bring.
It's all-wheel drive, and provides confidence on slippery unsealed surfaces - like on a dewey grassy hill.
There's plenty of space in the first two rows, and the option to throw 2 people in the rear via some smaller jump seats.
The new interior layout is familiar if you've been in the new Qashqai. And that's a good thing. There's an easy to operate infotainment for phone projection, lots of storage cubbies and a crisp digital drivers display.
The new X-Trail handles better too. It still feels like a wagon thanks to its length and weight, but it's shaper and restricted in its movements unlike the floaty previous generation.
This top-trim X-Trail is offered at a sharp price point, but that CVT transmission has a dark history in regards to its long-term reliability. That's something to be aware of, but many Nissan owners do go without issue with regular maintenance. It's possibly the only weak point in this cars tantalising offering.
The new Hyundai Santa Fe is arriving soon and will be another boxy SUV alternative to this. But for now, the X-Trail at its price point is one of the most compelling all-wheel drive family cars you can buy outside of Subaru.

to deny existence of any such problems and VCAT show little interest in assisting affected owners. In North America, where class action lawsuits are common, Nissan has extended warranty coverage to 7 years and introduced related service bulletins (not available in Australia) for equivalent model X-Trail, a clear indication that Nissan is aware of the subject flaws. If only VCAT was as caring about the interests of affected owners as it appears to be about the corporate interests and reputation of Nissan.
decent car if you are not a person who repairs own cars – dont bother buying any xtrail if you are a handy man my father owns one not the easiest car to repair sensors are quite common to go on these cars good luck if you have a crank angle sensor to replace its at the back of the engine quite expensive to have a mechanic replace replaced my fathers very painful job such a nightmare cv joints are prone to fail all the time stay away pos to be honest Show details

Our main issue is the poor suspension that we have had checked numerous times and have been advised it is standard and nothing is wrong with it. Most of the family get car sick in this car whilst not in my husbands car, I have also found to to be quiet jerky and far from a smooth drive.
Nice to drive – The Nissan-Xtrail 2022 . I have just bought this car at one year old. It’s got a sunroof and tan leather seats. Drives lovely. The speakers have lovely sound. The aircon and blue tooth all work great. Nice amount of room in the boot with separating panels for organisation. I didn’t want CVT but in the end I got a car with CVT. It makes a little more noise but the CVT is not too bad in this car. Overall it’s a nice drive. Show details
