Nissan X-Trail - Pictures

New X-Trail’s cabin is less rugged and adventurous than before, but it feels classier, and conventional dials replace the central speedo and rev counter of the previous car. Driving position is good, too.

There’s a removable false floor under the load area, and this houses a sliding drawer for storing items out of sight. Back seats fold level with this partition. 

Bluetooth Wireless mobile phone connectivity comes as standard on the X-Trail, and the system is really easy to use.

The X-Trail’s 2.0-litre dCi also features in the Qashqai, and was built with Renault.

The Nissan’s rear bench also folds in three parts, so it’s far more versatile than the Freelander.
