2020 Nissan X-Trail Ti 4X4 Reviewed
Is there a Diesel X-Trail?
Nissan X-trail comes with a bunch of choices: 3 engines, 2WD or 4WD, and a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic. The options depend on which box you finally tick. The 2.0L 106kw/200Nm petrol 4 cylinder comes with a 6-speed manual in the base model ST only. All other models are CVT automatics.
The 130kw/380 2.0L Turbo diesel comes only in 4WD in TS and TL, and the 2.5L with 126kw/226Nm comes in either 2WD or 4WD. Our test car came with the 2.5L, but could have used a tiny turbo to add some interest.
If you want 7 seats, only the ST and ST-L are available, and it too has the 2.5L petrol 4 cylinder. Our Ti is the 2.5L model.
Does X-Trail have terrain control?
The downhill assist is only on CVT models. No other off-road systems can be had.
What size wheels does X-Trail have?
X-Trail has 17” on ST, TS, and ST-L, or 19” Ti
Tyres are general use, all-season for decent road use fun. You’re not going too far off road because like the rest of her ilk, X-Trail happiest on the tarmac.

Does X-Trail look good?
X-Trail’s looks are distinctly Nissan. The nose is rounded off, and the rear end has tail lights set at jaunty angles. If you squint, the bum looks like a slightly angry face.
A line up and over the front wheels, continues up to the rear door handle. As I point out in the video, I can’t put my finger on it, but it looks slightly awkward.
