Nissan X-Path (2022 – current) | Professional Ranking


Summary


The Nissan X-Trail is a large SUV available in five-seat and seven-seat configurations. This is the latest fourth-generation model, which went on sale in the final months of 2022.

Both front-wheel and all-wheel drive models are available, and customers can opt for either a petrol mild hybrid engine, or one of Nissan’s ‘e-Power’ petrol-electric hybrid powertrains.

The X-Trail is more spacious than the smaller best-selling Nissan Qashqai, and is also a capable off-roader, but several reviewers comment that the SUV is not as economical as they were expecting – particularly the more expensive ‘e-Power’ option.

Like the Qashqai, the latest X-Trail was developed in Cranfield in the UK and about half of European sales are to UK customers. However, unlike the Qashqai, the X-Trail is built in Japan rather than in Sunderland.

“While efficiency isn’t bad on paper”, Parker‘s Alan Taylor-Jones explains, “there are lower CO2 emitting options such as the plug-in hybrid Kia Sorento or Hyundai Santa Fe that can also run on electric power for much longer distances.

What Car? concludes that, while the X-Trail is a decent family car choice, there are plenty of rivals that are more comfortable, more fun to drive and that offer even more space for a similar price. While the car is roomy when specced as a five-seater, media outlets generally agree that the third row of seating in seven-seat versions is quite cramped.

As of March 2023, the fourth-generation Nissan X-Trail holds an Expert Rating of 59%, based on 14 reviews published by UK media sources. This is still a new model, however, so the rating could move up or down by a few points as more local reviews are published.
