Horrible Car, with residual issues and weak after sale services

published

The car came with rattle and odd vibration, back to the dealer but no proper action just got the car and returned it after couple of days, contacted with head office, inappropriate customer service, never recommend to buy a Nissan.

Nissan scarified quality and removed some essential and standard items and replaced them by some features in the cabin and 360 cameras.

Perfect 7 seater.

published

This is by far the most value for money we have bought and we have changed cars couple of times. No nonsense car and will never fail you. Love it. Fuel economy is good and service is only once a year. Great boot space and great back seat legroom. The back seats in the 7 seater for kids only, dont expect grown up to sit there.

Love my Xtrail

published

I previously owned an X-trail and when looking for a new car, cam back to buy another X-trail! I love that it's spacious, has added features like front seat warmers and rear air conditioning vent, it's very economical to drive and was affordable compared to other similar cars. My only down point on this model is the back seats don't fold down flat (my previous model did) but that's because they can be moved forward ad back for extra leg room

Terrific Car

published

Love my STL. It’s roomy, has a safe feeling about it. Economical on a trip. If I had one fault it is opening and closing the boot. Not really my Xtrails fault as I have quite bad hands. I would definitely recommend the Xtrail, sales and service at Von Bibra second to none. Best family car ever.

All my friends get jealous how good it is

published

Though I didn't try the old x trail, the new one got me right the first day. The stl model 7 seats got me to all occasions from moving house, family get away, and tricky parking( thanks to the 360 camera),the car just got smooth acceleration when comparing to those hire cars I have driven, light steering. No doubt it is 2017 best suv of the world

Waste of money, this is not a Japanese Quality

published

I bought one brand new from official dealer in Adelaide in June 2016.
The car has started making extra noise just after 2 days, I took it to several official nissan service centers especially several times to main north nissan in Adelaide, this issue is still annoys me and making extra noise like trucks. The most weird answer was this is a characteristic of nissan that means they know this car makes a lot of extra noise due to low quality material and factory quality control.

Rugged luxury (4WD model)

published

After a fair bit of research, I decided to get a 3 year old secondhand X-trail with about 60,000km on the clock. My favourite feature of the ST-L is the surround 360 degree camera. I upgraded from a small sedan to the X-trail so parking was my biggest hurdle. The camera had made me more confident in tight spaces. But it doesn’t seem to have fantastic fuel efficiency as I use half a tank on about 250km (200km highway Brisbane to Toowoomba return) which is about 40L - double my small sedan would use for the same trip. It’s rugged enough for the soft off road through soft clay that I’ve gone through in it, but the modern design and leather interior add a bit of luxury. Absolutely love my new car.

Solid, easy driving family SUV

published

Faithful, reliable, enjoyable, comfortable, looks decent.
Interior is a little bland and car is not engaging to drive due to the CVT however would happily purchase again as a family SUV. Around view monitor is life changingly good. No mechanical issues since purchase. probably would go the 4wd next time.

Love my xtrail!

published

I had a Qashqai whe we had one child and upgraded to the larger xtrail when we were expecting baby 2. We got the 4WD xtrail as I wanted the extra stability and glad I did. The xtrail drives more like an SUV than the Qashqai, which feels like a sedan. The xtrail has longer and more flexible boot space, but it isn’t as wide. I now have to fold my pram foot rest down where I didn’t in the Qashqai. Plenty of room in the back seat to keep to kiddies rear facing for longer, and the back seats move so I can make the boot bigger or the back seat leg room bigger. Lovely to drive and has plenty of “extra” features/options for your money compared to other makes of vehicle.

Nice Family car

published

Has this car for almost 1.5 years now and the overall driving experience is great. It is a great car for family with young children. The engine is powerful enough for everyday driving around, handling is great and the fuel consumption is average.Plenty of space in the back to carry things around.

Great family car

published

This is the first car I brought brand new and it was well worth it.
I haven't had a single problem in 3 years, all services were reasonably priced and dealership was always nice.
I would gladly buy another Nissan, unless they can make a big camry that is just as well built as the 2001 model.

2017 xtrail

published

Prior to having our first bub in 2017 we wanted an suv. We were tossing up between the rav 4 or x-trail - new models. What made us go with the xtrail over the rav was the rear aircon vents and little extras including a digital speedo, leather seats, drink cooler vents and seat warmers. The xtrail was a tad cheaper than the rav and very happy with the car overall.

Great car for family

published

We had this car for almost 2.5 years now and the overall driving experience is great. It is a great car for family with young children. The engine is powerful enough for everyday driving around, handling is great and the fuel consumption is average. In the interior, it has a lot of legs room for the front and back row. The doors open very wide thus easy for putting toddler onto a car seat. The trunk is relatively large for its class, can easily place a dual pram with grocery shopping at the back.

Best car I’ve ever owned!

published

Out of all the cars I’ve ever had the xtrail has been the best!!! Fuel efficent, spacious, comfortable.. has lovely leather seats and seat warmers! The digital radio is amazing and having the 7 seater model has been great!!! The only thing I can say that could use some improvement is the cost the dealerships charge to service but I go to them over independent mechanics to ensure my warranty is in tact!

No squeak but my air con has been poor since day one. Had unit checked at the workshop and no issues - just always struggles to cool in higher heat.
