Nissan X-TrailDCI 1.6 [130] DIESEL N-CONNECTA XTRONIC AUTOMATIC

The 2018 Nissan X-Trail N-Connecta is a well-rounded family SUV that excels in practicality, comfort, and value. Known for its spacious interior and rugged look, this model provides ample features without stretching the budget, making it an appealing choice for those seeking an efficient, family-friendly vehicle that can handle both urban and off-road journeys.

The 2018 X-Trail N-Connecta has a strong presence on the road with its robust and slightly rugged styling. It sports Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille, flanked by sharp LED daytime running lights, which add a touch of modern flair. The high stance and muscular fenders contribute to a confident, durable look, while 18-inch alloy wheels add a polished finish to its design. Roof rails come standard, enhancing both its appearance and functionality, ideal for outdoor adventures or family road trips.

Inside, the X-Trail N-Connecta is spacious and well-laid-out, with an intuitive design focused on passenger comfort. The cabin materials are good quality for this price point, with soft-touch finishes and comfortable seats. The N-Connecta trim offers cloth seats, but they’re comfortable and supportive, with ample room for front and rear passengers.

Cargo space is generous, with 565 liters available in the five-seater configuration and up to 1,996 liters when the rear seats are folded flat. The X-Trail also comes with Nissan’s "Divide-N-Hide" storage system, which allows you to organize and separate items in the cargo area, adding convenience for carrying various loads.

The N-Connecta trim comes well-equipped with tech and safety features. The 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system includes satellite navigation, DAB radio, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. It also features Nissan’s Around View Monitor, which provides a 360-degree view of the vehicle, making parking and maneuvering much easier. 

Other standard features include keyless entry, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and power-adjustable heated mirrors, providing added comfort and convenience for daily driving.

Under the Bonnet, the 2018 X-Trail N-Connecta typically offers a 1.6-liter diesel engine with around 130 horsepower, though a 1.6-liter turbo petrol engine is also available in some markets. While it’s not the quickest SUV on the road, the engine provides sufficient power for everyday driving and light off-road use. The diesel option is the most fuel-efficient, with around 50 mpg in mixed driving conditions, making it an economical choice for longer trips.

The X-Trail’s handling is stable and predictable, with light steering that makes it easy to navigate in the city. It doesn’t have the sportiest feel, but it’s comfortable and composed, which is ideal for family outings. While it’s not built for aggressive off-roading, the X-Trail’s optional all-wheel-drive system provides enough traction for mild off-road conditions and gives added confidence in slippery weather.

The X-Trail N-Connecta prioritizes comfort, with a suspension setup that smooths out most road imperfections, delivering a quiet and enjoyable ride. The high driving position provides excellent visibility, making it easy to spot potential hazards and enhancing the sense of security on the road. While it’s not as refined as some premium competitors, it’s a comfortable, no-fuss choice for those who value a smooth ride and practicality.
