Nissan X Trail - reviews are masterful and satisfied

Auto concern Nissan is one of the oldest car manufacturers in Japan. On December 26, 2013, they celebrated the 80th anniversary of the founding of the company. The history of creating off-road vehicles of this brand is also impressive: in 1951 the first Nissan Patrol, still in the service of the Irish army, was launched.

Until the beginning of this century, the designs of cars that traveled along the highway and off-road were very different, perhaps because there was no such traffic jam on the roadway. Since the beginning of this century machines have become so many that the roads can not accommodate them, so the manufacturers along with the drivers were carried away by the creation of hybrids of SUVs and road cars (cars), now called crossovers or all-roads. And, some manufacturers come from cars and make more and more off-road cars (for example, Hyundai), while others adapt off-road cars and make more and more off-road cars (for example, Nissan).

In the external appearance of the car Nissan X Trail, it is easy to guess the traits of his parents Patrol and Terrano. The elder brother of Nisan X Trail'a was the car Nisan X Terra, rolled in North America in the late 90's. This car, apparently, was intended for American lovers to look for treasures in their own garden, and Terra Incognita - in a neighboring village. In 2000, for Europeans in search of unexplored trails outside the city (which is how X-Trail can be translated), the Nissan X Trail was created, the testimonies of which indicate that the car has since gained a lot of fans not only in Europe but also In Asia, and most importantly - in Russia and CIS countries.

A car that has been actively used in Russia for more than 10 years will have many reviews, is not it? Particularly interesting are the stories of those who travel for many years on cars that have traveled more than 100,000 km of run - such owners lack the initial euphoria of owning a good car. Among the descriptions of numerous repairs, it is necessary to dispel cases of a "barbaric" attitude to technology when it is intentionally "killed" and then sold to "hide the traces of the crime." Except for the foregoing about the Nissan X Trail, the reviews show a very good picture.

With respect to the engines of the Nissan X Trail, the owners acknowledge that the power of even a 2-liter engine is enough to fulfill all the tasks that are assigned to this car. Sometimes complain about the "racers", but use the Nissan X Trail for a quick ride - it's like going to a wedding in a sports suit. The engines with a large mileage are seen in the eating of oil, but this seems to be a problem of Nissan engines in general, and not X Trailovskih in particular.

With regard to the real fuel consumption of the Nissan X Trail, reviews agree that this car is quite economical for its class. To achieve passport consumption figures, you can, if you are engaged in driving only by observing the rules of fuel economy. But even those who do not particularly follow such rules, and ride at 20-degree frosts, do not cross the border into 12 liters per 100 km. To the increased expense result any malfunctions connected with diagnostics and adjustment of system of a feed of the engine through the onboard computer, but it is a trouble of all present "clever" machines.

Regarding the transmissions, the Nissan X Trail reviews are praised on new variator cars, and on second-hand cars - by mechanics. Automatic boxes in extreme conditions often fail, and variators generally break down at high mileage and can not withstand long-term operation.

Nissan X Trail reviews about handling is not just positive - there are several facts when the car really saved the lives of passengers in critical situations. Off-road behavior is predictable, but worse than Niva's, so the car is for fishermen, not for hunters. Some complain about geometric patency, and many - on the unfortunate location of the exhaust tract.

The interior of this car, the transformation of the luggage compartment and the options that create comfort for passengers, cause satisfaction and praise. There are some comments, but they are rather "grumbling for order" than serious shortcomings.

In general, the Nissan X Trail reviews are numerous, friendly and describe this car as a reliable family assistant in the economy, work and leisure.
