Nissan X-Trail Vs Toyota RAV4 | Can The New X-Trail Beat This Favourite Hybrid SUV? | Drive.com.au

Strange, i own xtrail hybrid and been driving for 2 months and im averaging around 6.3/100. On a good day I see 5.8-5.9 highway driving. Dont know how they managed 7-8 /100 in the trst drive

Nissan absolutely lied to you about those wait times. You might get a non-ePower XTrail in that time but we ordered an ePower in March 2023 and were told 6-8 months then and latest ETA is into next year - so more like 12 months.

Nissan X-Trail easy choice. So much more impressive package!

l, like many others can't afford to buy new, so l am faced with having to buy second-hand cars that l perceive will live at least another 10 more years. l am also seeing Nissan finally building a better product than they have been for a while now. Of these two l would still choose the Toyota because the expected life is going to exceed 20 years and Nissans have history of product failure within 10 years..... and the relentless threat of entire company failure would steer me away from the X-Trail. The updated interior is great in the X-Trail though.

i will never understand why reviewers in Australia always mention the heating seats as being a nice thing to have. Wouldnt be more usefull to have cooled seats in that area of the world ? How many months of cold weather do you have in Australia? Damn, you make me angry ! Heated seats are cheaper to produce. At least for the front seats , cars that are sold in 80% of the world should give you the cooled seats option from base models!! Earth is heating more and more each year.

Can Nissan remember the e-pedal or you have to turn on at every ride?

The most important thing these vehicles have in common is they're from Japanese manufacturers, which is THE bonus when spending such a large amount of money.
And although they both have the heritage the Toyota Corp IMO, is head a shoulders above Nissan as far as their vehicles are concerned.
The review was going well for Nissan until the the fuel figures were revealed.
The Nissan figures were a real shock to me.
If accurate, why would you overlook the Toyota.
Ok, if you can't wait you may not have a choice but, gee wiz, fuel economy is a major reason you buy a hybrid isn't it?

Xtrail for me

RAV4 looks way better from outside, but Nissan looks way better inside

The RAV 4 is so vanilla and I cant imagine driving one, even saving $10 a fortnight in fuel. Would rather have the 525nm of torque ready to go.

Now do e power with a hydrogen engine. Yum

Please say anybody. Can xtrail ride 150 km/h during 1-3 hours on a highway?

I just bought an X-Trial Ti-L.
If fuel economy is the only advantage in Rav 4, why waste 18 months waiting for a car. (FYI you probably will change your partners by then, who knows!)
I will have 18 more memories before you get your hands on the Rav 4, Plus the Luxury.

heart says x-trail, brain says rav 4

I don't understand the e4orce. Why turbo?

fantastic review

It seems to me that Nissan has understated their fuel economy figure. My Xtrail is consistently averaging well under 6 l/100kms and with a nicer/smoother driving experience than a RAV4.

In the real world the X Trail E Force gives about 6.6 to 7.2 litres per 100 KMs. RAV 4 About 5.2 to 5.8 litres. Much less refined drive.

The X Trail E Force and regular X Trails have stormed ahead in sales.... Chasing the long held lead of the RAV 4

X-Trail is a clear winner, just needs to improve its servicing costs, way too high. Would be nice to see a e-Power with a 10-15kWh battery and plug in. That way you are unlikely to need much Petrol in everyday use.

Here in Norway the Rav4 cost about 12k More than x trail that's with highest trim on both

So true. Test drove both, and I chose the X-Trail flagship Ti-L. The interior and exterior styling of the RAV 4 are stuck in the early 2015s. The X-Trail is a modern and premium vehicle. Your fuel economy figures are incorrect. My petrol X-Trail has excellent fuel efficiency on premium petrol. Despite its larger size, it is extremely economical.

X-trail is better……by far!!!

almost vomited when i saw the orange

Fantastic review and what a duo, well done guys. I do have some shorts of the xtrail propilot parking on my page if your from 🇬🇧 this is standard spec from tekna grade - really nice to have this when you are utilising E-pedal step to regenerate battery 🪫 🔋

Great review . btw what was the song that kept coming on

My epower fuel consumption is on average of 6.8L/100km constantly between each fill-up. Not bad at all for a 1.9 tonne medium SUV, especially with its green light accelertion power that Rav 4 can only say good bye. 😅

People mostly buy Hybrid car for petrol saving costs,
X-Trail uses 95Ron 7-8 litre per 100km service yeatly $588

(Rav4 uses 91Ron 5-6 Litre per 100km yearly service $230)

Wouldn’t buy a Nissan if you paid me

I compared both on a couple of test drives before deciding but I am so happy with the X-trail, brilliant 4WD, premium feel and fuel economy is actually not too bad with 6.5l/100km for northern european conditions. The propilot never failed either, well done and I got away from bmw. Forget the Rav4 and don’t look at premium ‘badges’ only 😊. Thx for the review!

Driven both nissan blows it away in everything unless lm a sheep l wont go anywhere near a rav4 period

I wa not amused of the tyre repair kit i the Xtrail , a spear is better

Isn't the X-Trail a competitor to the Toyota Highlander?

the music is super annoying

Wow icant wait to get the xtrail

Nissan has way better torque no one talks about this

The xtrail looks so handsome and masculine but elegant too. How on earth is toyota always number one nissan underated

Anyone who prefers class and pure driving enjoyment would go for nissan 10 times over

Love the back of xtrail masculine but neat.. Bigger presence on the road.

This is the smallest man I’ve ever seen

Why can't you do the review on the base models? It displays the key features of both vehicles for a better comparison. Like who cares about heated seats or steering wheels when comparing vehicles.

Wish Nissan would offer these in N. America

X Trail e4orce is capable of using either 91 or 95 octane fuel, source: Nissan website - Fuel requirement
(minimum / recommended) 91 / 95.

Very misleading when all the facts aren’t presented..

Deciding is hard

Iv just brought st x.trail had it 3day it 2.5 petrol getting 6.8ltr 100km. Power good.

Background music is just a distraction.

Good video, thanks 😊

I finally realized we, us and Journalists have it wrong. The Driver Aids are to be intrusive but not offensive. Else what would be the point if they didn't intrude on bad driving habits or poorly marked roads.

1.5 lit. 3 cylinder engine???!! It’s a joke…
