Nissan X-Trail (2014) Updates

Friday, 04 November 2022 11:08 PM The CVT transmission in the 2014 X-Trail has been a point of contention for some owners, with issues such as jerking or shuddering due to worn or faulty components. Regular servicing and transmission oil changes are recommended to mitigate these problems. I think its crucial for owners to be aware of these potential issues.

Friday, 04 November 2022 08:00 PM The 2014 Nissan X-Trail is compatible with ethanol-blended petrol, allowing owners to save a few cents per litre by using E5 or E10 fuel. However, using premium unleaded petrol does not offer any significant benefits as the engines are tuned for 91 RON fuel. This is a practical tip for cost-conscious drivers.

Friday, 04 November 2022 08:22 AM In terms of market performance, the 2014 Nissan X-Trail faced stiff competition, particularly from the Mazda CX-5, which dominated the medium SUV market in Australia. Despite this, the X-Trail maintained a significant market share, appealing to those looking for comfort, space, and versatility. I believe the X-Trails strengths lie in its family-friendly features.

Friday, 04 November 2022 08:50 AM The 2014 Nissan X-Trail received praise for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and stable handling, making it a solid choice for suburban driving and occasional off-road excursions. However, it was noted for noisy suspension and road noise, particularly at higher speeds. I think these are minor trade-offs for the overall package.

Friday, 04 November 2022 11:16 PM Nissans decision to offer both 2WD and 4WD options, as well as the availability of seven seats in some models, added flexibility to the 2014 X-Trail lineup. This versatility made the vehicle appealing to a wide range of buyers, from singles to large families. I believe this flexibility is a key selling point.

Tuesday, 07 October 2014 02:18 PM Despite retaining the All Mode 4X4-i system, the 2014 X-Trails off-road capabilities have been slightly compromised due to reduced ground clearance and approach/departure angles. However, it still handles well on typical forest tracks and provides excellent passenger comfort. I think this balance between on-road and off-road performance is well-executed.

Tuesday, 07 October 2014 02:03 PM The interior of the 2014 Nissan X-Trail features Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide storage system, which allows owners to customize the cargo area according to their needs. This system is particularly useful for families and those who need flexible storage solutions. I believe this feature adds significant practicality to the vehicle.

Monday, 14 April 2014 03:03 PM The 2014 Nissan X-Trail has been noted for its significant design overhaul, moving away from the boxy shape of its predecessors to a more stylish and muscular look with smooth lines and bulges over the wheel arches. This new design is aimed at appealing to younger families. I think this change has made the X-Trail more appealing to a broader audience.

Monday, 14 April 2014 06:12 AM Nissan introduced the 2014 X-Trail with advanced technology features, including the NissanConnect smartphone connectivity system, which allows for Bluetooth interface, telephone and audio streaming, and USB connection. The system is user-friendly and integrates well with modern devices. I believe this feature has been a major selling point for tech-savvy buyers.

Monday, 14 April 2014 09:01 PM The 2014 Nissan X-Trail comes with several engine options, including a 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 106 kW and 200 Nm of torque, and a 2.5-litre petrol engine producing 126 kW and 226 Nm of torque. A 1.6-litre turbo-diesel engine was also announced for release later in 2014. The variety in engine options caters to different driving needs.
