What are the running costs?

According to WLTP testing, the most economical X-Trail is the front-wheel drive e-Power model. Officially it’ll score 48.7mpg. The four-wheel drive e-4orce is up next, with a rating of 44mpg.

The mild hybrid is the least economical. Officially it’ll do up to 39.8mpg.

During our week with an e-4orce four-wheel drive model, we averaged about 41mpg. This included a lot of motorway driving with a bit of A-road thrown in. This is good considering the size of the car, and we imagine you’d score even better mpg if you didn’t do too many motorway miles.

Servicing and warranty

The X-Trail’s standard warranty lasts for three years/60,000 miles, which is pretty stingy by today’s standards. The Kia Sorento’s is seven years while the Hyundai Santa Fe’s is five years.

Nissan’s service packages come with RAC roadside assistance and online booking.
