The updated MY26 X-TRAIL range boasts design enhancements, advanced technology features, and an increase in service intervals, boosting the appeal that has made it a standout in Australia’s competitive medium SUV segment.

Some of the highlights include:

• refreshed front and rear styling,
• updated 18- and 19-inch wheel designs on select grades,
• enhanced interior materials and finishes, and
• the introduction of Nissan’s Connected Car Services^#(CCS 1.0) technology across the entire range.
• All grades now also offer a 12.3-inch Infotainment Screen and Wireless Apple Car Play^>and Android Auto^> as standard.

• In what will be a cost saving for owners Service intervals increase on both the e-POWER and ICE MY26 X-TRAIL models to 15,000km/12 months (previously 10,000km/12 months).

I’ve been a big fan of the e-power hybrid system. This essentially has the X-Trail driving more like an EV without the hassles of charging as the petrol engine acts as a generator essentially. That’s a simple explanation.

The MY26 X-TRAIL will be available across 5 model grades, with both conventional ICE and e-POWER e-4ORCE variants offered. The range continues to provide five-seat and seven-seat configurations to suit varying family requirements.

You could almost say it’s right in the middle of the range and there are a lot of different versions you can choose from.

The e-power model comes with a 3 cylinder 1.5L hybrid motor that acts a little different to other hybrids. The engine mainly charges the electric motor and kicks in when needed.

Its smooth, mostly quiet, and easy to drive. Having electronic AWD is a bonus.  e-4ORCE electronic 4×4 system comes with a drive & terrain mode selector with 5 different modes.

I like the ST-L model because it is a five-seat version. Having seven seats in a SUV this size doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. With five seats there is a large boot space and rear seat passengers have reasonable room.

The ST-L also comes with enough comfort features to make it worth it without the extra bling of the Ti-L It still comes with synthetic heated leather seats with electric adjustment for the driver.

However, it misses out on wireless connectivity and charging for your smartphone unfortunately.

As I mentioned before the X-Trail comes with a lot of choice of models, engines, or drive trains.

The X-Trail ST-L e-power with e-4orce is priced from around $50,000 plus the usual costs.

The post Nissan X-Trail ST-L e-power with e-4orce AWD SUV 2024 Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

As far as medium sized SUVs go its quite stylish. It looks larger than it is but has presence.

Inside it has a luxurious feel with Nappa leather seats, soft touch points everywhere and woodgrain dash inserts.

Little things like wireless smart phone connectivity and charging, heated front and back seats, large central touch screen and multiple choices for the drivers’ instruments all add to the luxury feel.

The rear seats and boot are spacious. The TI-L is a five seat only model and that makes a lot of sense.

The X-Trail comes with either a 2.5L petrol engine or a 1.5L turbo hybrid engine. The petrol engine has adequate performance and reasonable economy. The hybrid would be my pick, better economy, with a more responsive and smoother feel.

The X-Trail has a choice of drive modes that includes snow and off-road functions.

Overall, the Nissan X-Trail Ti-L is well worth a look in that medium sized SUV segment. My Aunt owns an X-Trail that is now 20 years old, and she has only just upgraded it. That shows how good they are.

The post We drive the Nissan X-Trail TI-L AWD SUV 2024 Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The e-4ORCE refers to twin electric motors that drive all four wheels. That is similar to other e-based hybrids

Where the difference comes in is that X-Trail Ti-L e-POWER refers to a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine that charges the small 2.1Kw/h battery.

The difference with this hybrid is that the SUV always acts like an electric vehicle, with instant torque available, but without the associated heavy batteries, recharging issues, and range anxiety.

Smaller batteries means less environmental damage as well.

We drove the top spec X-Trail Ti-L e-Power model this week. Its packed with features such as

• a heated steering wheel,
• Bose^® 10-speaker sound system,
• quilted Nappa leather-accented^~ seats with memory seat function,
• rear sunshades,
• hands-free rear tailgate,
• heated rear outboard seats,
• remote engine start and more

Pricing for the X-Trail Ti-L e-Power model is from $57,190 plus the usual costs.

The post Nissan X-Trail Ti-L e-Power with e-4ORCE SUV Driven 2024 appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The e-4ORCE refers to twin electric motors that drive all four wheels. That is similar to other e-based hybrids

Where the difference comes in is that e-POWER refers to a turbocharged petrol engine that charges the small 2.1Kw/h battery.

The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine acts as the perfect generator and operates at all times in optimal efficiency.

The difference with this hybrid is that the SUV always acts like an electric vehicle, with instant torque available, but without the associated heavy batteries, recharging issues, and range anxiety.

Smaller batteries means less environmental damage as well.

Chevrolet had something similar a few years ago in the Volt, but not as advanced as the Nissan e-POWER system.

The hybrid comes in AWD versions only of the Ti and Ti-L models

Pricing is from $54,190 through to $57,190 plus the usual costs.
