i believe it is a 5+2, not a 7 seater.
simply because the last row is not full-time legit seats, meaning they might not pass many stringent crash tests, hence they are known as "backup seat" to bypass these tests.

fortuner, sante fe, upcoming isuzu mu-x however are 7 seater SUV.

There is always lemon in every brand. Even accord oso got problem.

Of course there is. I am talking in general. Some car are more prone to some pb. Like vw and their infamous gearbox pb etc

if u r worry, you should wait 1-2 years for the "problems" to surface

U mean the new xtrail is a complete revamp from the previous model aside than the interior?

no, I didn't mean that.

had it for 2 weeks now. so far so good..

fuel consumption kinda on the high side i guess

2.0 or 2.5? 7-8km/l?

2.0Ltr model

my meter shows around 10km/L,

my worst trip was at 5.8km / L

it take some time to break-in.
new engine gearbox tires definitely cause higher FC.

But still otr looks very less xtrail. I mean the new model. Maybe stil new. But the suv market seems totally dominated by cx5. I love suv but I also love the extra space where xtrail provide. Cx5 and crv might look better but the space is smaller. Santa Fe is too expensive.

5.8 is insane! Even bulky Serena also can get 6-7.

well that was my worst trip done. the car have an average trip calculator for fuel consumption, so every it sorts of record every time u start & turn off the car.

recently i've been averaging betweem 8.5 - 10.3 km / ltr

Does tha adad system help much? I see it can track the car etc. it can show tyre low pressure too?

Looks like Japan already launch xtrail hybrid on April 2015. Come std with Front Emergency Braking, hybrid engine boast to 20km/l and Nissanconnect. Normally if Japan launch when will Malaysia get the car? It seems that the current 2015 xtrail already in Japan for 16 months. Does this mean the hybrid is only coming in after a year to Malaysia. If a few months wait then I think worth to wait lor.

I booked the 2.0 model last week. I think will cancel because decided to take a smaller HRV instead. More value for money.

I prefer this over Hrv mainly due to the extra emergency 2 seats. It come in handy when balik kampung and fetch parents. My kids can halau to the back seat. Haha. If space is not my concern, I will take crv over hrv anytime.

cannot compare because HR-V & Xtrail are 2 different segment (and engine capacity). makes more sense to compare to CR-V.

True. Space-wise I feel the HRV is larger somehow but soundproofing not as good as Xtrail.

HRV larger? Did I get that correct?
