    Nissan X-TRAIL 2016

    Nissan X-TRAIL 2016

    FROM
    $9,680

    The 2016 Nissan X-TRAIL range of configurations is currently priced from $8,950.

    Our most recent review of the 2016 Nissan X-TRAIL resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: You don't become an Aussie favourite by chance -  the X-Trail is practical, comfortable, easy to live with and looks great. There's also the bonus third row which is almost unheard of in a mid-size SUV. But there's no rest for the X-Trail and it's beginning to fall behind the competition with other brands pricing their rivals SUVs to undercut each other and adding more value in the form of enhanced safety kits.

    This is what Laura Berry liked most about this particular version of the Nissan X-TRAIL: Third row seating practically unheard of in class, Easy to live with in traffic and tight parking spaces, Reversing camera is excellent

    The 2016 Nissan X-TRAIL carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Nissan X-TRAIL 2016 FAQs

    Air-conditioning problems in 2016 Nissan X-Trail T32

    This sounds more like a control problem that one with the actual compressor. The body computer is often at fault in cases like this. Part of the body computer’s job is to control things like central locking, power windows and the climate control gear. The fact that the system is cycling between fresh air and recycled air makes us suspect the computer as the culprit. Has this been checked?

    Hopefully, you first raised this issue with Nissan all those years ago when the vehicle was still under warranty. If so, then you have what is called a pre-existing condition and even though the car is now out of warranty, Nissan is still obliged to fix it as if the warranty still applied.

    Should I buy a Nissan X-Trail or a Mitsubishi Outlander?

    This issue will always come down to the documented service history that each car comes with. A switched-on previous owner will not only have serviced the vehicle by the book, but will also have kept the relevant receipts as proof of this crucial work being done. We'd always choose the vehicle with a big wad of service receipts over a similar car with no (or less) evidence of scheduled maintenance.

    Beyond that, the Nissan clearly has almost 50,000 fewer kilometres on its odometer, so all things being equal it probably nudges ahead at that point. In either case, the CVT transmission fitted to these cars is likely to be the major source of mechanical grief down the track. Both brands' CVT transmissions have been known to give trouble. If that bothers you, then perhaps the one to buy is the Outlander AWD with the turbo-diesel engine option. In that guise, the vehicle has a conventional automatic transmission rather than a CVT.

    How do I get my digital speedo showing on my 2016 Nissan X-Trail? What settings do I need and what procedure do I follow to show my digital speed?

    From what I can see in the owners’ manual, the X-Trail has the ability to display the vehicle’s current speed as part of the trip computer’s read-out. By scrolling through the various pages offered by the computer, you should be able to find one that gives a readout of current and average speed.

    Later model X-Trails had a proper digital speedometer, but the trip computer version is the best you’ll get in this model.
