Nissan X-Trail

What is the Nissan X-Trail?

The Nissan X-Trail is a family SUV with a practical cabin and a higher driving position. It sits among the larger models in Nissan’s range and has been offered with petrol, diesel and electrified powertrains. Across four generations, it has evolved from a straightforward SUV into a family model with a broader choice of powertrains.

X-Trail generations

The first generation, T30, ran from 2002 to 2007, followed by the T31 from 2007 to 2014. The T32 ran from 2014 to 2022, and the T33 began in 2022. Over that time, the X-Trail gained hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions in Europe, alongside petrol and diesel models.

Engines, power and consumption

Across EU registrations, engines range from 1.3 to 2.0 litres and power from 96 kW (131 PS) to 195 kW (265 PS). The range includes petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric and other fuel classifications. The lowest stated consumption for petrol, diesel and hybrid versions is 5.9 L/100 km on the WLTP test. The lowest official weighted figure for plug-in hybrids is 6.3 L/100 km WLTP; it assumes some driving is electric, so actual use depends on charging and driving habits. EU registrations total 675,231 across 2010–2025. The leading entries are 1.6-litre diesel versions rated at 96 kW (131 PS), with the largest annual totals in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

UK figures cover 2002–2026 and list petrol, diesel and hybrid engines from 1.3 to 2.5 litres, with power from 110 kW (150 PS) to 160 kW (218 PS). The lowest stated UK consumption is 4.9 L/100 km under NEDC. French figures cover diesel versions from 2012–2015. Canadian figures cover 2.5-litre petrol versions from 2005–2006, with a lowest stated consumption of 10.7 L/100 km on NRCan’s 5-cycle test. Test procedures differ: Europe uses WLTP or NEDC, while Canada uses the 5-cycle procedure, so results are not directly comparable.

Where was the X-Trail sold?

The X-Trail appears in EU and UK figures over long periods, with French figures covering a shorter span and Canadian petrol entries from 2005–2006. Its four generations trace the model’s development from a conventional SUV to one also offered with hybrid and plug-in hybrid power in Europe.
