Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi (2007) CAR review

Is Nissan pulling a fast one? This looks the same as the old X-Trail
It’s a dead ringer for the one that's just been discontinued, isn’t it? Incredibly, it’s totally new, right down to the engines. Two new 2.0-litre diesels (150 and 173bhp, both lifted from the Renault Laguna) replace the old dCi unit, while the 2.0-litre petrol and underpinnings come from the Qashqai. You can blame those same-again looks on existing owners. In customer clinics they told Nissan not to meddle with the styling.Qashqai underpinnings? That sounds like it could struggle off-road
X-Trail may share much with the Qashqai, but it uses a modified version of the platform with Nissan’s new 4x4 system, All-Mode 4x4-i. It’s controlled by a dial on the dash. Most of the time it can be kept in auto – sensors link the ECU, wheel speed, steering angle and yaw rates to anticipate when a wheel will slip and rectify it by applying more torque appropriately. It does such a good job that it only needs to be locked into four-wheel drive for very muddy conditions and to engage hill descent control.CAR Reviews

Does that mean it’s a bit of a brute on the road?
This is where the Qashqai bits come in handy. It drives like a hatchback from behind the wheel and behaves itself on the road with good body control, reasonably accurate electric power steering and a supple ride. The ride is impressive too – thanks in part to a new, longer wheelbase.Are those diesels any good?
Both are better than the old 2.0 unit that the previous X-Trail had. They’re a bit clattery when they start up, but quieten down once warmed through. With 236lb-ft (150bhp) or 266lb-ft (173bhp) of muscle on offer, they pull well too. The 150bhp version is offered with a six-speed auto gearbox. Unusually for an auto, it harnesses engine braking when it’s not accelerating. This makes it feel much more akin to a manual and helps smooth out some of the gearchanges. Fuel economy’s good too: both return upwards of 38mpg on the combined cycle – not bad for an SUV.CAR Reviews
