Overall Average Rating - 84.3%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 39th

The first-generation X-Trail is ageing extremely well. Although there are some black marks on the big Nissan’s scoresheet – 81st in the braking category is worrying for a family car – overall, the X-Trail is a decent all-round package, with a smooth ride, strong reliability and above-average levels of practicality.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 26th)

Bad news! Nissan posts mid-table results for running costs and practicality, but falls well behind elsewhere. The Qashqai is a sales hit – let’s hope it can influence the firm’s position next year.
