Short test: Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi Tekna
Of course not. Only if someone remembered the title of an article written for Grand Prix Magazine by colleague Tadey Golob, I would know why I thought about it after just a few minutes of driving on this X-Trail. It began something like this: "From afar, a roar was heard, as if a huge monster was approaching." Or something like that.
And I thought about this rumble as soon as I started the X-Trail. Yes, adjectives like "quiet", "polished" or "calm" can't be used to refer to its two-litre diesel engine. (Unfortunately) the tractor is loud, otherwise we just can't record it. When I was just sitting in its little brother Qashqai with a smaller diesel engine under the hood, I couldn't believe there could be such a big difference between the two - the Qashqai was as quiet as an electric car compared to the X-Trail.
Well, maybe this is more due to the lack of noise isolation than because of the engine (which is quieter in Kajar, for example), but in any case, it's a pity that it is so loud, because its noise erodes memory from all the others, especially good properties. X-Trail. The X-Tronic CVT hides its continuously adaptable nature and behaves like a classic or dual-clutch automatic, while still providing CVT responsiveness. The solution is good and goes well with a quieter engine.
The driver operates the four-wheel drive with a rotary knob between the seats. Admittedly, it was only in the front-wheel drive position most of the time, as the traction, despite the high-torque diesel engine, was sufficient so that there was no need to engage automatic four-wheel drive or permanent four-wheel drive on slippery roads. roads. On rubble, it turned out that the latter works imperceptibly enough not to change the driving characteristics of the car (forget about the rally inserts), but at the same time it is effective enough that the X-Trail can punch through many even when the ground under the wheels of clearly insidious varieties.
The interior could have been a little less plastic and you'd need a slightly longer fore-and-aft movement of the driver's seat, otherwise the X-Trail is a roomy car (but it hides its size well from the outside) that will easily cater for almost all family needs. (and much more). And when we add to that a reasonably useful infotainment system and a stock array of assistance systems, an equation that comes out to a good 40k (and XNUMX less in the campaign) is perfectly acceptable. You just need to check if it's too noisy.

evaluation
The X-Trail may not be as popular as the smaller (and cheaper) Qashqai, but (aside from this engine noise) it's a great choice for those looking for more room than the smaller crossovers offer.
