Took delivery of the Tekna+ ePower e4orce last month & I’m not sure why reviewers & people in the comments are negative about the economy. I use this everyday as part of my job along with gigging as a musician most weekends not only in the Midlands but all over the UK, so I easily cover between 50-80 miles a day with a good mix of city, countryside & motorway driving & yet I consistently achieve an average 48-55mpg, regardless of what mode I’m driving in. Compared with the 2017 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 diesel I had beforehand, which was averaging around 40-44mpg, this is definitely a step up. Sorry folks, but no complaints here.

Whilst not having an X Trail ePower, we have just returned from a holiday in the Lake District our first long journey in our Qashqai ePower Tekna so we have some experience of the ePower drivetrain. Just over a 1000 miles of driving and lots of motorway interspersed with the very hilly area. We achieved an overall 51.3 mpg. Best on the motorway at 70 mph was 52.5 mpg. Overall mpg over our 6000 miles of ownership is 51 mpg very close to the advertised figures. For an SUV that's acceptable in our view. Having owned various hybrid cars, this is the best we have owned for our needs. The lack of those annoying CVT gearboxes is a huge bonus. The driving experience is very smooth. Sport mode provides quite impressive acceleration for a fairly large car too. In reference to Carwow savings we did initially go down that route but in the end we just haggled and got an extremely good price from our local Nissan dealership. My wife is very good at haggling and is not at all shy about pushing for the best price. The dealer also threw in a full tank of fuel, car tax and mats and boot liner. 😁 Would we recommend it? Definitely. Is the extra cost worth it? If you haggle well then yes. We got ours for the base model price without involving a third party. We don't like diesel cars and EVs are from our point of view, not value for money nor logistically practical unless you are a city dweller. Tesla's are over priced and have poor build quality and after sales back up so were never an option. Your views may differ if course. 🤔

Thumbnail = 'I love This' and the video title = 'This Nissan is a game-changer' - but the overall verdict was 'Consider' - bit odd. Great vid as always though!

[@teddym2808]

For me this is a must buy, definitely not a "consider". When you weigh up the luxury and performance vs the price, particularly vs the very crappy looking (both inside and out) Rav 4 and more expensive outlander, this is the one to get. In top spec hybrid AWD trim. The economy is still "good enough" vs most petrol engines and you NEVER need to plug it in which means no issues for street parkers like myself. As an every day driver and long distance cruiser, this Nissan is a supremely balanced car. The only things, literally THE only things I could fault it on were non adaptive cup holders/crappy rear armrest, and lack of ventilated seats. That's it. It ticks every other box as a comfort car that has decent spirited acceleration when needed. I mean the top spec hybrid is the same price as the flagship CX-5 turbo here but has a much nicer interior and goes harder and is definitely more economical. In fact, IMO, the top spec TI-L with the lighter quilted leather option (and red outside, yum) looks like a much more expensive German car interior. I could imagine doing all my LONG "around Australia" drives in this, but the waiting list is already crazy for the TI-L hybrid AWD and I couldn't get one anytime soon, so I settled on an MG HS AWD - for now. I got a truly ridiculous deal on a brand spanking new 2022 model with metallic paint, for many thousands less than people are selling demos and used ones for - in basic white no less. From deal negotiation to delivery in my hands was all of 3 days total and I needed a car immediately, and I gotta tell you, for the price, it's been an amazing little thing and wonderful to drive interstate with with excellent lane keeping and adaptive cruise tech.

I still have the first gen X-Trail from 2004. Really practical car and powerful enough with its 2.5L NA engine. It still has the conventional AT transmission instead of the newer CVT's so that's also a plus. Looks decent too with its boxy design, before Nissan went all bland from 2010 onwards. This new one is coming back to its roots, liking it so far, but not the CVT.

[@RSID]

it's also a shame that they decided to end assembly of Nissan vehicles in my country due to major cost cutting policies enacted in 2020. If this X-Trail eventually gets to my shores from Japan, then it will certainly be more expensive thanks to import taxes. It will have to compete with cheaper, locally assembled direct competitors like the Honda CR-V and Toyota Fortuner. They still sell the T32 facelift X-Trail in my country today, but nobody's really buying it since it's more expensive than the competition.
