Car changing is a big deal
This rugged and robust family SUV offers hybrid power and modern design, as well as ample space for passengers.
If you want your family bus to be smartly styled, well built and efficient, then this is the perfect car for you. The Nissan X-Trail is the Qashqai’s bigger and more spacious sibling, and it offers the same combination of solidity, efficiency and dependability, not to mention the extra space for carrying growing families.

Remember, you can lease a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
Lease a Nissan X-Trail from less than £220 a month*

You can lease a Nissan X-Trail N-Connecta from £219.42 per month (initial payment: £2,981.04) on a 24-month, 5,000-mile-per-year deal through Carwow. For that price, you get the 1.5-litre petrol mild hybrid engine, complete with seven seats. It also comes with climate control, a reversing camera and the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and wireless phone charging.
Why should you consider the Nissan X-Trail?
The X-Trail is chunky and squared-off, yet still modern-looking thanks to its robust build quality, roomy cabin and technological might. The interior is well made and solid, with plenty of room in the back for adults, let alone kids. There’s a seven-seat option, too, although the third row is really just for kids or occasional use. The Nissan is at its best as a five-seater.

Although the on-board technology occasionally leaves something to be desired in terms of graphics and functionality, the tech found under the skin is much more impressive. Particularly the e-Power hybrid system, which just uses the petrol engine as a generator to charge the battery that powers the electric motor. The result is a car with the performance of an electric car, but the flexibility and range of a petrol engine.

For all that, the X-Trail isn’t an especially high-performance car. It isn’t that quick, and while it drives pleasantly enough, it isn’t what you’d call fun on a twisty road. Instead, it’s stable, predictable and safe, which is exactly what you want from a family car. It’s comfortable around town and visibility is great. The quiet cabin is a relaxing place to be on a long motorway drive too.
Nissan X-Trail alternatives
Still not convinced? Here are some other options for you to consider:
- Peugeot 5008: Ultra-cool design inside and out, and very spacious, but the tech can be fiddly.
- Skoda Kodiaq: It has a spacious and well-conceived interior and strong engines, but it isn’t cheap.
- Land Rover Discovery Sport: Comfortable, posh inside and brilliant off-road, but the petrol engines are very thirsty.
