Nissan X-Trail (01-07) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Last Updated: 05 April 2007
X-Trail is better in most areas than most of its rivals. It goes up against the Honda's CR-V and Land Rover's Freelander in the soft-roader category. It cuts the mustard against both of them on the road and has a good range of engines and trim levels. Standard equipment could be better for the price (but there again, so could that of its rivals).

Buying used

For best value for money, you need to be picky about the spec level you go for. The original S-spec models may look cheap, but they're poorly equipped with no air con, side airbags or CD player (unless specified as an option by the original owner). Sport or SE+ models are the ones to go for or any car produced after 2003. If you're opting for a diesel, dCi models from early 2004 are the best.

Selling

Overall, there is strong demand across the range, so someone should take it off your hands quite quickly if it’s well priced. This makes it good stock for dealers, too, so it should command healthy part exchange prices as a result. Buyers are keenest on the high-spec and latest, but scarcest, dCi models.
