The Nissan X-Trail combines decent off-road ability with a strong driving experience on the road and a practical interior. Thanks to its large dimensions and boxy lines, it has a very spacious and practical interior, plus it offers decent off-road ability with its impressive ground clearance, torquey engine and impressive ALL MODE four-wheel-drive transmission. But the surprising thing about the X-Trail is how car-like it feels to drive on the road – it’s much less agricultural than some of its compact SUV rivals in this respect, and the body doesn’t roll as much through corners.
