Nissan is one of the oldest car manufacturers in Japan. On December 26, 2013, they celebrated the 80th anniversary of the founding of the company. The history of the creation of off-road vehicles of this brand is also impressive: in 1951, the first Nissan Patrol was released, which is still in service with the Irish army.

Until the beginning of this century, the designs of cars that traveled on the highway and off-road were very different, perhaps because there was no such traffic crowd on the roadway. Since the beginning of this century, there have been so many cars that the roads cannot accommodate them, so manufacturers, together with drivers, have become interested in creating hybrids of SUVs and road cars (cars), now called crossovers or all-terrain vehicles. Moreover, some manufacturers go from the side of cars and make more and more off-road cars (for example, Hyundai), while others adapt SUVs and make more and more light SUVs (for example, Nissan).

In the appearance of the Nissan X Trail car, the features of its parents Patrol and Terrano are easily guessed. The older brother of the Nissan X Trail was the Nissan X Terra, which was run in North America in the late 90s. Such a car, apparently, was intended for Americanlovers to look for treasures in their own garden, and Terra Incognita - in the neighboring village. In 2000, for Europeans who are in search of uncharted trails outside the city (namely, this is how X-Trail can be translated), Nissan X Trail was created, reviews of which indicate that the car has since gained many fans not only in Europe, but also in Asia, and most importantly - in Russia and the CIS countries.

A car that has been actively used in Russia for more than 10 years will have a lot of reviews, right? Particularly interesting are the stories of those who have been driving cars for many years that have traveled more than 100,000 kilometers - such owners do not have the initial euphoria from owning a good car. Among the descriptions of numerous repairs, it is necessary to dismiss cases of a “barbaric” attitude to technology, when it is deliberately “killed” and then sold in order to “hide the traces of a crime.” Aside from the above for the Nissan X Trail, the reviews paint a pretty good picture.

With regard to Nissan X Trail engines, owners admit that even a 2-liter engine is enough power to perform all the tasks that are assigned to this car. “Riders” sometimes complain, but using the Nissan X Trail for fast driving is like walking to a wedding in a tracksuit. High mileage engines have been seen eating oil, but this seems to be a problem with Nissan engines in general, not X Trail engines in particular.

Regarding real fuel consumption Nissan X Trail reviewsagree that this car is quite economical for its class. It is possible to achieve passport consumption indicators if you only follow the rules of fuel economy while driving. But even those who do not particularly follow such rules and drive in 20-degree frosts do not cross the border of 12 liters per 100 km. Any malfunctions associated with the diagnosis and adjustment of the engine power system through the on-board computer lead to increased consumption, but this is the misfortune of all current "smart" cars.

With regard to Nissan X Trail gearboxes, reviews praise CVTs on new cars, and mechanics on used cars. Automatic transmissions fail quite often in extreme conditions, and CVTs generally break down at high mileage and do not withstand long-term operation.

Nissan X Trail handling reviews are not just positive - there are several facts when the car actually saved the lives of passengers in critical situations. Off-road behavior is predictable, but worse than that of the Niva, so the car is for fishermen, not hunters. Some complain about the geometric cross-country ability, and many complain about the poor location of the exhaust tract.

The interior of this car, the transformation of the luggage compartment and the options that create comfort for passengers cause satisfaction and praise. There are some remarks, but they are more “orderly grumblings” than serious shortcomings.

In general, the reviews about the Nissan X-Trail are numerous, friendly and describe thisa car as a reliable family assistant in the household, work and leisure.
