Nissan X Trail has been hugely successful around the world, stick around for a minute and see why. Nissan X-Trail is one of those cars that does everything well.
It’s getting a little long into the model cycle but now for 2021 Nissan have upgraded the popular SUV with standard Apple Car Play and Android Auto, upgraded 7.0 inch infotainment and connectivity screen across the range.
For models ST-L and above they have also added Intelligent Driving Alert to the comprehensive safety features on all models.

There are four models in the range as well as a choice between front wheel drive and Awd, three engines and two transmissions.
The top model the X-Trail Ti comes well equipped with features such a heated front and rear leather seats, adaptive auto headlights, 19 inch alloy wheels and additional safety functionality.
The reason why the X Trail is so successful is that it seems to hit a sweet spot of size, value for money, comfort and features. There is also a seven seat version available.
Priced from $30,665 for the entry level manual ST 2WD through to $45,965 for the range top TI AWD, plus the usual costs there is something for everyone in the range.
