The post Nissan X-Trail ST-L 2.5L AWD SUV driven for 2026. 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.
