Nissan X-Trail Ti-L – Last week we spoke about the Nissan ST-L, this week we are chatting about the top model the X-Trail Ti-L.
The X-Trail is Nissans bestselling vehicle and the all new model has revitalised sales in the segment.
Built on a new platform the new X-Trail is has better ride and handling than the previous model and is smooth, quiet, and compliant over rough roads.
Powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine maximum power is 135kW, and maximum torque is 244Nm. This is matched to a seven step CVT for maximum economy. ADR economy figures are 7.8L/100K. One good feature is a 2000kg towing capacity.
The Ti-L comes with a 10.8-inch HUD, 12.3-inch driver instrument display and a 12.3-inch central touch screen. Other exclusive features include a motion sensor rear tailgate, 10 speaker premium Bose audio system, memory function for the front electric seats, and a heated steering wheel plus more.
The Nissan X-Trail Ti-L is a well-equipped, luxurious, and practical mid-sized SUV and is fair value.

General thoughts about the Nissan X-Trail Ti-L
- The all-new model brings some styling and finesse to the model.
- The interior has a premium feel to it. Nappa Leather, soft touch points and black woodgrain panelling all add to the ambience.
- Front seats are heated, comfortable and the electronic lumbar adjustment was appreciated by my ageing back.
- Large driver instrument panel contains a multitude of information and configurability.
- The 12.3-inch central screen is crisp, clear, and functional.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and charging as well as wired Android Auto is standard in the Ti-L
- Rear seats are spacious and comfortable. Boot is again spacious.
- There are air vents in the second row and tri zone A/C
- The Ti-L is a five-seat version only and that makes sense. I’m never a fan of seven seats in this size vehicle.
- The petrol engine is adequate if a little sluggish a times with the CVT.
- Paddle shifts are useless like they are on 95% of cars.
- Ride and handling are taught, especially on windy roads. The suspension can get a little unsettled on poor back roads.
- Steering is responsive and changes with drive mode selection.
- Drive modes include eco, normal and sport, and the Ti and Ti-L, add Snow and Off-road.
- This doesn’t change the ride, just the transmission mapping.
- It comes with the Nissan Pro-Pilot safety system, its good but can be a touch intrusive.
