Which of the budget sedans holds up well in the long run?

Is the X-Trail's off-road capability an SUV image or just a soft roader?
06 January 2025 09:51
I don’t think people give enough credit to the X-Trail. If you have good tires and some common sense it will handle more than most owners will ever ask of it. It’s no slouch, but it’s not a dedicated off roader.
Has the X-Trail's CVT transmission been a deal breaker or has the reliability issue been exaggerated?
06 January 2025 09:51

What’s the X-Trail interior quality and tech features like in 2024?
06 January 2025 09:51

06 January 2025 09:51

The X-Trail's e-POWER system is compared to traditional hybrids in real-world driving.
