Used Nissan X-Trail for sale

What types of used Nissan X-Trail cars are there?

The Nissan X-Trail was launched in 2000 as one of the first crossovers to kickstart the SUV craze.  

The Japanese manufacturer is known for its market-leading SUVs in the shape of the Qashqai and Juke, so it’s no surprise the more spacious X-Trail is a popular choice.   

The style we’re familiar with is the third generation that was launched in 2014, which was then given a facelift in 2017.  

Since then, Nissan has announced a new version with a clever hybrid powertrain.

What features does the Nissan X-Trail have?

Any Nissan X-Trail for sale will compete well with its rival SUVs when it comes car tech, with the entry-level model having digital radio, cruise control, air-conditioning and alloy wheels as standard.

Is the Nissan X-Trail reliable?

Nissan is a brand known for its well-built vehicles and strong reliability.  

The engines and technology have been used across Nissan and Renault models since they joined forces, and the X-Trail has proven to be dependable and reliable. 

How much does the Nissan X-Trail cost to run?

Although there are petrol versions available, diesel models tend to be more efficient in the real world because the used Nissan X-Trail is a fairly heavy SUV.  

Newer hybrid models use an electric motor to drive the wheels and a petrol engine to charge the battery, so there’s no need to charge the X-Trail but it benefits from the engaging feeling of an electric car. 

It’s relatively new, and it remains to be seen precisely how efficient that model is in the real world. 

Who is the Nissan X-Trail suitable for?

A used X Trail is great for anyone looking for an SUV that's also perfect for the family.  

It’s an extremely safe car, scoring a maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating thanks to its vast amount of safety equipment. 

Its main rivals include the Kia Sorento, Nissan Qashqai and Volvo XC60.
