X-Trail e-power – Hybrid cars are becoming more popular recently. They have better fuel economy, reduced emissions and yet retain the simple convenience of filling up at petrol station for 5 minutes and go.
But not all hybrids are the same. I drove the Nissan X-Trail e-power last week. This hybrid drives more like an EV as the petrol engine is designed to charge the battery and only kick in when necessary.
I had the Ti X-Trail. This is a high spec model that is well equipped and comfortable. It comes with
- E-4orce all-wheel drive,
- Panoramic sunroof,
- motion activated tailgate, and
- 19-inch alloy wheels amongst other features.
The X-Trail is smooth and quiet to drive. It has a 1.5 litre three-cylinder petrol engine combined with an electric motor that turns the wheels. Its economical and my fuel use was around 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres. That’s not bad.
The five seat X-Trail is also a decent size for a family and comes with two isofix points and top tether points for a baby seat. The boot is large enough to hold the baby stroller and more as well.
Priced from around $55,500 plus the usual costs there are driveaway deals at local dealers so have a chat to them.
