Nissan X-Trail

The very best of the best, you can only win with this

After only having the car for a year the CVT transmission completely failed and I was quoted $12.5k to get it replaced by Nissan. I went through the goodwill process where they predictably washed their hands of it with excuses such as too old and too many km/s. My previous Nissan X-Trail from 2001 lasted 20 years and racked up over 300k km/s and never required complete transmission replacement but this one from 2015 just made it past half of that in km/s and just over a third in years and Nissan used every excuse in the book to do nothing to ...

I loved this car UNTIL I got to 80,000k then it was down hill FAST. It's been 12 months of fighting to get anything fixed. My car has been at Nissan more than home. Its needed a transfer assembly case repair, an entire new transmission (both of which nissan came to the party after kicking and screaming on). Now the transmission mount is needing repair and nissan don't entire a bar of it despite taking my transmission out THREE times they say it's unrelated. Disgusting service. I'm now left with a lemon of a car I probably won't be able to sell.

Positives first - My XTrail rides comfortably. The small turbo diesel is fuel efficient. The build quality is good. The reversing camera is good. (Almost a good car - but not quite).
Negatives -
Nissan Australia have been quite arrogant & disinterested when I raise concerns.
My XTrail could have been so much better.
The car stalls regularly and easily - this was described by the Nissan Service Officer as a "Characteristic of the car". I now just live with this "XTrail Characteristic" - I hope that one day the XTrail does not leave me or my Fam...

I purchased a 2018 Nissan X-Trail Ti from a Nissan dealership in January 2019. Since owning the vehicle it was serviced every 10k by Nissan themselves. Whilst owning the vehicle the front collision sensor has been repaired and randomly fails whilst driving and the GPS appears to be 10 years out of date with highways in NSW. 3 years and 4 days after purchasing the vehicle the battery was changed and the car would not start. The vehicle was towed to the Nissan Dealership and took one week for them to diagnose the Body Control Unit to be faulty an...

Back in 2017 I purchased a brand new Nissan xtrail from Parramatta dealer. During a routine maintenance, in 2018, at Nissan service centre Camelia, they found the Airconditioning system leaking. And they replaced one o ring to repair the leak. I then noticed the airconditioning only semi-cooled, compared to my previous cars. In 2021 the airconditioning stopped cooling all together. 3 more leaks found from 3 different o rings. After endless calls, arguments and being hung up on by customer service. Nissan has agreed to cover 50% of the cost sin...

I only buy Xtrails up to 2013 . So reliable and good for a family car. The boot is huge and it drives great! I’ve had no mechanical issues at all on both of mine and they have 320000 and 220000

My complaint is with Nissan Australia, 6 months out of warranty and wont do good will on a safety issue, front radar collision module on my 2018 Xtrail because I bought it at a auction & not a used car dealer.
Very poor service , the car itself is a good car, this seems to a common fault with Nissan ingeneral when searching the internet

Failed solenoid in gear release mechanism 2016
Failed CD player 2019
Leaking in radiator top 2019 so replaced.
With regular servicing the car has given excellent service to us. It is comfortable, reliable, well made bodily and mechanically, and is great to drive in town or long distances interstate. It has performed well annually in the snow up mountains and occasionally off road.

I've owned this car for about 3 years now and found it is very economical and reliable. However, the blind spots are horrible, very hard to see around the door/roof pillars as they are so large.

I have had my 2011 Nissan X-Trail since new. Now over 10 years old and has never missed a beat. I usually change cars every few years but haven’t felt the need to do so as it has fulfilled my needs really well. Great space inside, unlike the newer model, lovely to drive and great fuel consumption. A lovely comfortable car for long trips.

Purchased second hand 3 years old with 43000kms from a Nissan dealer. My car is used for getting to work and going on outings on the weekends, I have found it to be a very pleasant vehicle to drive, for an SUV. Power is good when you need it, Intelligent 4WD is available if the car thinks it is necessary, sends power to all wheels. Interior is well appointed with leather seats, 7 speed auto with manual override, tilt and slide sunroof, glass roof over back seats. split fold rear seats are great and the boot space is awesome, has under floor storage also, in the back. Only needs Android Auto/Apple CAr Play. Wouldn't go back to a normal vehicle after driving the X-Trail

except for the lack of cruise control, my x trail is a very reliable SUV.
light steering, good control on snow and icy roads.
fold down rear seats make a good size boot, I've carried timber up to 3 metres long, comfortable seats, but not heated.
mine is a very rare European import, with hyper rails and safari lights, roof mounted from the factory.
cheers.

Spacious for a small family. Easy maintenance however the gps system can be much better. Since I am forced to write 30 words for the review and I have just reached it.

Very economical small too to get into tricky spots, use the car daily when not in lick down. I get it serviced usually every 6months and have had no issues.
