The Nissan X-Trail occupies a position in the medium SUV market that Australian families have been comfortable with for years. It offers the option of a third row, a practical interior layout and the kind of pricing that does not require a particularly long conversation with the finance manager. The 2021 model carries that brief forward without reinventing anything.
Jenny reviews the X-Trail across daily driving conditions that reflect how most Australian families actually use their cars. The cabin is spacious and the layout is practical, which matters when you are loading school bags and shopping into the same space every week. On the road, the X-Trail is relaxed rather than exciting, which for most buyers is exactly the point.
If you are in the market for a medium family SUV and practicality outranks everything else on the list, the X-Trail makes a strong argument. It is not the most dynamic option in its segment and the interior quality will not surprise anyone who has spent time in a European rival. But it does what is required, with room to spare.
