Nissan X-Trail T32.I TL (2014-2017)

My XTrail Almost a good car – 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… Read more

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 Family, sitting at an intersection, with a stalled car, waiting for a semi to "T Bone" us. The Nissan GPS provides a poor level of street and suburb information in the Sydney area. Even with an update, the Nissan GPS has been out of date. The GPS is unreliable, frequently providing incorrect directions and provides very poor street & town information outside of Sydney. The GPS was almost 2 years out of date when I purchased the car. Nissan took over 12 months to provide an update for my new car (at this point the Nissan GPS was about 3 years old). Nissan initially (arrogantly) stated I would have to pay $700 for an update (not recognising that I should have received an up to date GPS with the new car). True to form - The XTRail is now just over 7 years old and the GPS continues to be around 2 years out of date (Sydney NorthConnex which opened about 18 months ago, is still not recognised) - Nissan Customer Service now (again arrogantly) advise "Older cars get limited support - Is there anything else I can help you with" - I assume this Nissan response is identifying - "Nissan feels I need to buy a new car if I wish to solve my concern". The Nissan Dealer advises they have other Customers in the same GPS situation (Words to the effect of) - "Forget about your Nissan GPS - Buy an aftermarket GPS system". The blind spots from the driver seat are dangerous - limited vision around the windscreen pillars and side mirrors. My XTrail was sold to me with a stated 2 tonne towing capacity - There is no way my XTrail could tow a 2 tonne trailer up a reasonable incline, particularly from a stop start. The car is a toy 4WD. In comparison to my XTrail - I own a similar aged Mazda 3 - I can only compare the beaut quality and helpful service that Mazda provide. My Mazda 3 is excellent - I have experienced one small problem with my Mazda 3 - a small tear in the Drivers leather seat, Mazda fixed this problem without hesitation or question - outside of warranty. Thank you Mazda - Mazda you get more than 5 out of 5 stars from me. Before my Mazda 3 - I owned a car built in a Mazda factory (Ford Laser), this car was serviced for almost 2 decades by my local Mazda Dealer - I had the car for 25 years, it travelled over a quarter of a million kilometres (many years after I sold it, we still see it travelling around - This Mazda built car was almost flawless - Other than the expected items - tyres, batteries, a clutch replacement and a rear muffler replacement - a beautiful car even after 25 years. I cannot afford a new Nissan every 7 years - My next car will not be a Nissan.

Good car but had a lot of recent technical issues – We have a TL diesel with the 1.6l Diesel engine and found it a great car at the start with really good fuel economy. But then we started noticing the revs rapidly jumping and after it was investigated, a new transmission had to be installed. After less than 10,000kms the new transmission started doing the same but this time they have simply… Read more

updated software. It seems to have worked for the moment, but now there's a high pitch whining sound coming from the engine / transmission area.

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues as the new version of the TL now has the old 2.0l diesel so wondering if there is a known issue?

The all rounder – My husband I both recently bought new cars, he chose the Nissan X trail and I got the D Max, our 16 year old son think are cars are backwards, while I love my car I must admit I do like the sporty smooth drive of the Nissan, in fact I pinch his car quite regularly for the comfort and sleek driving experience it offers. I like to tease my husband… Read more

and call his car the old man car, but truthfully it is the all rounder, it tackles the on off roads as good as my 4x4 but gives a comfort not others offer, and it is suited to all ages and walks of life

I have a 2004 T30 I have seen and rode in the 2015 model with all the bells and whis – Mine has and the one I rode in has leather sets a fantastic A/C very good view go the rode very easy handling The over drive button to save on gas or get extra power I'm dreaming of a new 2016 2.5 X trail with all the bells and whistles I just love the X Tfail  Show details
