“For those who don’t often use their Nissan X-Trail’s full load capacity, the more refined 1.6 diesel is still a fine choice, but the useful extra punch in the new engine will suit those with lots of kids and luggage to carry.”

“The Nissan X-Trail is a family SUV that’s available with five or seven seats. Closely related to the Qashqai, it’s comfortable and good value for money. Some rivals are classier and more practical, but the X-Trail is a good all-rounder that tick most boxes.”

“Shortfalls on refinement and driveability, plus a slight lack of character, take the shine off a car that isn’t quite in the Qashqai’s class – nor a top-five competitor in its own right.”

“With our thoughts focused on the important things in life – looking after your family and neighbours, that sort of thing – the Nissan X-Trail seems like a winner. It doesn’t make a good job of doubling up as a thrill-tastic driver’s car for more frivolous times, but then what SUV does at this price?”

“The Land Rover Discovery Sport drives better and the VW Tiguan rival smashes the quality issue, but the big Nissan X-Trail fights back with a pleasing honesty. It’s big, sensible, practical transport for large broods.”

“The facelifted Nissan X-Trail is almost all the car you’d ever need if you want a family hauler. It’s extremely spacious, practical, easy to drive and rather well-equipped. It does have its niggling issues, but ultimately there’s nothing majorly wrong with the car.”

“The Nissan X-Trail is a big practical family SUV that’s available with seven seats. Its interior is pretty boring, however, and it’s not fun to drive.”

“If you want a Nissan Qashqai but you find the interior a bit too small for your growing family, the X-Trail is the car you’re looking for. It’s just as comfortable and easy-to-drive as its smaller sibling, but with much more back row space, a bigger boot and the option of seven seats.”

“Compared to the interior of the higher-priced Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe, however, there is significant shortfall in the Nissan X-Trail, but that shouldn’t be a worry if you wish to have size and practicality first and foremost.”

“Despite being Nissan’s most expensive crossover, the X-Trail has always lived in the shadow of the hugely popular Qashqai. The latest updates don’t change that, nor make Nissan’s large SUV a match for the Mazda CX-5 as a five-seater or a Skoda Kodiaq as a seven-seater.”

“The Nissan X-Trail is okay in isolation, but there are rivals with better handling, comfort, interior space and infotainment systems for similar or less money. The low running costs of the diesel models might still prove tempting, but newer rivals make it feel a bit of a dinosaur.”

“The third-generation Nissan X-Trail boasts a roomy interior and appealing styling, but there’s only one engine choice and it’s underpowered.”
