- More than £5,000 off the RRP
- It's the Auto Express spring sale!
It took a while for car manufacturers to electrify their seven-seat offerings, but as the saying goes, better late than never. In the Nissan range, seven seats means opting for the X-Trail SUV, and wouldn’t you know it, but it’s also available in e-Power hybrid form.
Ordinarily, such a car would set you back more than £46,000 in Tekna trim, but in the Auto Express spring sale, that same car will cost you just a shade over £41,500, a saving of more than £5,000 off the recommended retail price.
£5,060 to be precise, taking the total figure down to £41,540, for a brand new X-Trail e-Power Tekna, using Nissan’s clever 1.5-litre, three-cylinder petrol hybrid drivetrain. Not just e-Power either, but e-4ORCE, which means this one is also four-wheel drive, though the name’s awkward enough that you’d probably just tell people it’s “the 4x4 one”.
As the top engine in the X-Trail it delivers 210bhp and will whisk you from 0-62mph in 7.2 seconds. The rear axle gets its own electric motor which means it can kick in quickly if you find yourself short of traction, while we’ve found the e-Power setup in general to be pretty good at blending petrol and electric power for a smooth drive.
In theory it’s also good for 44.8mpg combined, which doesn’t sound like a lot in this day and age but isn’t bad for a car of the X-Trail’s size, and if you spend a lot of time in town, electric running should bump that figure up a bit too. Tekna trim meanwhile is the third step up the five-tier range, and gets kit such as 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, tri-zone air conditioning, a glass roof, heated seats in the first two rows, and a head-up display as standard. Not bad at all for just over £41,000.
