Nissan X-Trail

This is a great car. With 2 kids there is enough back seat and boot space. It’s comfy, easy to drive and user friendly all round.
A few improvements that could be made:
Camera quality was better in my 2015 Hyundai i30
At this price point I think an automatic open/close boot would be nice
A reverse sound alert would be good - it doesn’t let you know if you are reversing and about to hit something.
Also the floor of the boot is removable and you can store stuff under there. It’s great but I find the removable floor isn’t overly strong - mine has slightly warped.

Nissan x trail doing 60 km,s country road - truck comes past and bonnet is ripped back wards over windscreen

daughter now scared to drive - Nissan advise it is not a manufacturing issue

I see that America has had recalls on bonnet latch issues

I use this car for my work and it's excellent and value for money. It's world's most popular SUV and made in Japan and I am really impressed. Love it ❤️

This car drove ok, but with minimal km by elderly couple, I only discovered that an electronic control module failed at 36,000km after 6yrs and out of Nissan warranty. Also significant wear on the front tyres which is unusual for those kms. When the module failed on a hill it left me going backwards in a potentially life threatening situation. Dealing with Nissan has been extremely difficult despite the car being regularly serviced, mostly by Nissan. It looks like I will have to take them to fair trading. Other minor problems are wires loose on...

I bought a brand new 2011 Nissan X Trail always serviced every 10,000kms by a highly rated qualified mechanic. Immaculately clean and well looked after. Then I was shocked as my transmission died while I was driving. This happened only 7 years later in 2018 and the car had only 127,000 km on the clock. It left me out of pocket $3,000 to replace the transmission with a second hand one. Extremely disappointed.

Pros: You would get all the high techs for this class.

Cons:
Build quality is average. I can already see a little bit rust here and there after 4 years. After 4 years use seats are so hard that it feels like sitting on a wooden chair. Because they have use cheap vinyl not leather. Also auto tailgate buttons below the steering wheel gets switched off always because my knees touch those buttons when I try to get in and out of the car. Also you do not get nissanconnect support in Aus now. Engine bay is cheaply design that you don't feel it pre...

Aircon stops everytime in an hour while driving. Not enough air diffuse in that time. So frustrated. Need to turn off the ac for 5 minutes and turn on again to get some cold air. Mine is a 2014 ST model. Car is great and spacious interior.

We needed a new car as our old Mazda 3 was getting tired.... Most cars similar to the Mazda 3 are now very small so we went for a SUV. The X-trail ticks all the boxes. Reasonably priced, large boot, lovely interior and just the right about of features. The car is used for commuting and is the main family car on the weekends and it is perfect for our needs. I am not a big car lover, don't need anything fancy. But this one is the nice amount of fancy for someone like me.

My parents bought a brand-new X Trail in 2011. This car was immaculately looked after. Driven like an old man, kept incredibly clean inside and out, it was serviced before it’s due dates… nine years later, that’s right just nine years later, the transmission explodes. I’m only leaving this review because my dad takes such pride in what he owns and he looks after his things so incredibly well and it broke my heart to see him have to go through the stress and anxiety of having such an expensive machine simply fall apart.

Purchased the vehicle in 2015 (2014 run-out model) at the same time as a friend at work bought his. I always looked after the vehicle and had it regularly serviced at the local Nissan dealership since new. At around 90,000 km my friends' vehicle had a gearbox failure, which was repaired under warranty. At around 120,000 km my vehicles CVT gearbox failed (quoted $ 8,000 - $ 9,000 to repair), and with the vehicle warranty expiring at 100,000 km was advised that it would not be covered by warranty. After a protracted 'battle' with the dealers...

I had this car for loan for about a month and it was so bad we tried to avoid it as much as posible. We generally used it for school drop offs and shopping. The cargo space is nice but still only 5 seats. The interior belongs in the bin. It was all cheap plastic and the front armrests on the door were very uncomfortable. The infotainment was just a screen about half the length of a smartphone and wasn't touch screen, and was hard to navigate.. The drive train, could be better. Like seriously... a CVT, it was hard to drive and would have much pr...

I traded in my 18 month old Pathfinder for my xtrail as the Pathfinder was too big for my now single parent family. The xtrail is absolutely perfect for me as I'm generally the only one in it but when my teens are with me, there is still room to relax. We've taken the car to Victoria and I had an extremely comfortable & fuel efficient trip to QLD last year. Car hasn't skipped a beat and Nissan Service have just been beautiful to me.

I use the car to commute to work as well as family transport. The Xtrail is great with plenty of space and leg room for both driver and passengers. The ST has all the basic tools, if you would like a bit more accessories then its worth to invest int he ST-L. We bought our Car from Brighton Nissan, Jimmy did his absolute best to help us with the car as well as Chris, Niraj and Antonio. I would definitely recommend Nissan Brighton.

I also have issues with Drivers seat , when its done 30 kms. Clicking noise and a small play , when acclerating and Breaking. I replaced Driveres seat Rail under warrenty. Now comes back again also problem with temperature gauge showing 4 degrees higher constant hood vibranting and heater noise.. would i buy another it would have to have a major update

It’s a family car for us, so comfortable to drive. Seats are amazing. Great for long trips. I’ve never felt so safe in a car. Great price compared to other similar cars.
