The Nissan X-Trail is a compact or mid-size crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 2000. Due to its length gain in its third generation, it is now considered a mid-size crossover SUV. It was one of Nissan's first crossover SUVs and was released about the same time as several other companies competing car-based compact SUVs including the Suzuki Grand Vitara, Ford Escape and its Mazda Tribute sibling, the Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4. The X-Trail is positioned below the truck-based Xterra and Pathfinder and was never offered by dealerships in the United States. The first generation was available in Canada until it was replaced by the Rogue. However, both the Rogue and the X-Trail are sold in Mexico. The Rogue shares the same platform as the second-generation X-Trail and is very similar to the Qashqai.
I do not understand what's all the fuss about an X Trail. For me its looks like a boring vehicle, no eye catching exterior features and basic inside features. It's very high priced as well . It goes for approx $ 150 k - 180k foreign used and for newer models its more expensive. The new 2015 Model has made some improvements regarding the exterior and very high priced as well.
What do you guys think about the X Trail? Can you tell me if the fuss is worth it ?
