Guys what do u thin of new xtrail apart of the let down dual airbag. Any other cons?

Boot made of plastic.

Seat behind too tight for any adult or even teenager.

Huh?

Still ok for me. I have two small kids. The extra seat is a bonus

Ugliest day time running lights on any car in Malaysia, fat half dim pimply like cheap accessories

front looks like a cartoon rabbit face ...

Test drive today. Seems good.

Go with ur feelings. Lots of haters here. I personally think its a good buy especially the 2.5.

Chrome obsession..so yesterday

1 word.. Ugly.. prefer CRV or Cx5..

Hmm, looks like a lot ppl commented ugly. Not too sure if my eye are wrong then. I find it quite good looking. Maybe I am uncle liau. Haha

Too bad they skimp off the 6 airbags.
Or else it will be the best SUV on the road

One ppl potion can be one ppl poison. If u c it nice then go for it. No need ask ppl to justify for u.

so far nissan quality is good n service center are efficient at jb.

Actually I didnt ask ppl to justified the look but the car usage if anyone have drive or own it. Want to know if there is any known pb on xtrail.

Yes, that's the biggest let down on dual air bag. My 15 years old car also have dual airbag and now in 2015 still dual airbag. Btw, what's make u think it is the best suv if it not because of the dual airbag.

Best suv in class. Tough interior, serious. I brought my dog. It shred the while interior, barf on my centre console, spilled some juice on the seats. Went to the car wash, mamak clean it. It looks like brand new again.


Other than the 2 airbag. The only annoying part is when raining. The roof sound like milo tin.

Yakah? The sound proof so teruk?

Because it is 7 seater
Tell me which other SUV have 7 seater?
Toyota Fortuner or Ford Everest?
Let's not talk about Kimchi cars..

Honda CRV, Mazda CX-5 is 5 seater.

Sound proof ok, I go 150kmh still no wind noise. Only roof milo tin

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?

This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: May 7 2015, 11:11 AM

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?

Better a lot than the previous model

Hmmm... Interesting. Hrv bigger space?

may be the driver seat kut?

May be the front seat space kut?

Just tested HRV. Hmm, obviously the xtrail is much bigger space either front or back. In fact I think it is also bigger than crv. I could be wrong
Crv interiors is more elegant I would say. But still I love the emergency seat idea for the xtrail.

teringin Xtrail. My dad used it years ago..

can only track the fuel consumption & keep a history track on it.

the emergency seat is also why i chooses this car. else i would likely opt for cx5.

crv should be bigger than x trail. x trail is smaller like due to the new car design, more curvy.

and with still only 2 airbags.... dissapointing

as a current old xtrail user, i am also keen on the hrv. good to have a small suv for town use. but of coz cx5 is way much better. but dont need a bigger suv too. how long is the waiting list for hrv now?

lol the design blows away even the cx5.

crv no place to stand.

no place to stand yet its the best selling compact suv in the world.

that's why on the road is full of fugly cars

To me, the CRV design is the most hedious. The new X-Trail is refreshing though. The CRV may be the best selling SUV in the world but what people don't realise is that these stats cannot be fully represented here. The CRV model you get here for example is not with the Earth Dreams engine unlike say the CX-5 (CBU) has the same Skyactiv engine and same tech as you get worldwide.

Exactly, it goes to show brand name and reputation is also important, hence the ugly cars with good rv will always have better sales despite not having good looks and latest engine tech

Btw, australia also didnt get the new earth dreams engine too

I would consider X-trail too if i was looking for a mid size SUV. How can CX5 or CRV compete with XTRAIL, i drove CX5 2.5 AWD before, it is a driver's car, passenger will suffer due to crampy interior. CRV is spacious, but the material is a let down (and pricey too)

Go for the X-TRAIL.. no regret! btw, have you try the FORESTER XT?

Nope, haven't try forester yet. What's the best deal can we get for xtrail? So far the best deal I come across is rm5k rebate with free leather seat for 2.0 xtrail. UnfortunatelY there is no more 3 years free maintenance anymore.

I wonder if there is any good deal on hari raya promo. I still can figure out to go for black or white. Lol

I think perhaps you misunderstood me a bit. The reason CRV does well worldwide (even though ugly in my opinion) is because they did offer decent quality and tech. At least the ones sold in the other countries. But our local CRV is anything but. That is why I caution people who blindly read reviews on international websites and take it in good faith that the car they buy here will be as what the international reviewers make them out to be. Instant runaway hit especially since Honda brandname is too powerful locally that people will simply put their thrust because of the brandname unfortunately.

For me, I dislike CVT personally. Give me a conventional auto box over CVT any day.

Everybody has different preferences. Mazda cars are known to be crampy for rear passengers. While having a lot of rear legroom is always nice, small families usually find the CX-5 rear space sufficient. If they don't find the space adequate, then they would progress to something larger. Myself, I choose the Santa Fe because it was one of the very few affordable 7 seater SUVs available that time. The new X-Trail would have given me a hard time choosing if it was available back then but if given the chance to choose again, I'll still choose the Santa Fe and don't regret my choice because the turbo diesel is too addictive to ignore.

For me, the Forester design is a little boxy. The engine and tech is nice but it was a 5 seater just like the CX-5. Plus it's a CVT.

my review - http://www.autofreaks.com/reviews/test-dri...-trail-2-5-4wd/

twin airbags is a letdown, for sure.

exactly, make it 6 airbags then it would be perfect

new sylphy 6 airbags
new teana 6 airbags

new x-trail 2 airbags...

seriously No to x-trail!

Tell that to Previa. Rm270k also dual airbag. Lol. Even proton iriz 60k also get 6 airbag. Why they skim on airbag eh?? Is cutting airbag really help to save production cost a lot? Cannot brain.

This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: May 13 2015, 10:45 PM

teana and slyphy dont have Active Engine Braking, Active Trace Control, Active Ride Control

taiwan xtrail have Active Engine Braking, Active Trace Control, Active Ride Control
AND 6 airbags.

here is malaysia brother...

It would be great to have 6 air-bags. The more the merrier.

yes, it would be perfect if they have the 6 airbags. the worst part its not even an upgrade options.

i mean if the international version of x trail already have the 6 airbags design, its basically a ready part which can be opt in anytime. even if they would not want to include in as standard, they could have give the option to add in though.

but malaysian x trail really skip out quite a few parts like power boot & the panaromic roff & etc.

i ask Nissan and we dont even have the option to install extra....
why give leather chair or 8 inch lcd... useless for me... i want another 4 air bag...
not struggle with cx5 (6 airbag), crv (4) or nissan (2, the least)....

Is it possible to install power boot on our own?

I believe TC had made a big mistake by introducing Sylphy with 6 airbags. Even with such specs, it still low sale volume for this model.

TC should at least cut 2 airbags from Sylphy and add it to X-trail. (This is just my silly suggestion, it may not happen).

May be there is possibility to add the airbags when TC introduce the facelift version, but this may take at least 1.5 years.

Xtrail hybrid! Wonder will it come to Malaysia

or ... TC know sylphy wont sell alot so they give 6 airbags ... so that sale will be better ...

for x-trail, a lot of potential sui yee buyers so they give 2 air bags to gain max. profit ...

This post has been edited by katijar: May 14 2015, 01:48 PM

haha yeah sui yee like me

Although it is a very good car, I still can't accept the fact that it only come with 2 airbags.

Hmm, even 2 airbag I am still going to place a book on this. Let's just hope a good deal coming on raya. Finger cross

gratz on making up your mind joining the bandwagon. btw which are you getting? 2.0 / 2.5?

I think I will pick 2.0. Sufficient enough. Dun need the 4wd. Will add on leather and navigation system.

For me, the Forester design is a little boxy. The engine and tech is nice but it was a 5 seater just like the CX-5. Plus it's a CVT.

[/quote]

whats wrong with CVT? 250ps + 350nm, i don't see the santa fe can beat this figure if you are talking about engine performance. i do agree that the design is BOXY and 5 seaters but other than that, i can't find any plus point for santa fe.

just my 2 cents.

You are entirely entitled to your 2 cents. While you may not find the 7 seater and bigger space as plus points for the Santa Fe, I do. While the 190ps on the turbo diesel might not measure up to the 240ps on the XT, it makes up more for it in the 436Nm torque that kicks in as low as 1800 rpm to 2500 rpm where it matters most in day to day driving.

Say what's the fuel consumption on the XT?

i also know here is Malaysia.

My opinion is if u want buy the 2.5 4wd u can go ahead,but if u choose 2.0 2wd version,u can try to see whether u have other choice in market or not.Why?because 2.0 already low power,plus it is a cvt then will totally make the pick up lousy and the car is heavy.

rule of thumb for buying a Nissan car in MY, never ever buy it during launching.
Wait a couple of months or after 6 months, more freebies and discount.

Yup, notice that too but this time not really for Xtrail. Launching they have 3 years free maintenance but now no more. I am still waiting for good offer. Let's hope raya promo is good otherwise year end promo. Not in hurry anyway.

Yes, It's easy just change all the interior wiring harness. Cost in the region of RM10k to RM20k, is it worth it just for a power tailgate. You might as well throw in the curtain / side airbags, amp and extra speakers.

Not a drop of chance. Unless the gov willing to extend the hybrid incentive.

Deng! That car come equips with front collision sensor leh.

That's expensive lol. Oh well, if Nissan have the option to buy either 2 or 6 airbags, wouldn't mind opt for 6 airbags with more premium price. After all the slot is there just need to put it in.

The 2.0 doesn't come with LED headlight which I like. Anyway can change aftermarket?

You don't have to get a Hybrid to have these feature and 6 airbags. UK X-trail is an optional package or top of the range come as standard.

Wah, with sunroof lagi. And tyre monitoring etc. lagi Ada Nissan Safety Shield Technologies - Blind Spot Warning, Moving Object Detection and Driver Attention Alert


This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: May 16 2015, 09:58 PM

Nope. For now thats no aftermarket LED headlight. They a very costly to produce. And you can't just swap those halogen bulb to a aftermarket LED bulb they don't work.

UK safety really top notch. Here we are debating 2 airbag and 6 airbags, UK pukka get all those far fetch safety for us.

Nissan Safety Shield packages comprising:
Forward Emergency Braking
Driver Attention Alert
Traffic Sign Recognition
Lane Departure Warning
Blind Spot Warning
Moving Object Detection
High Beam Assist
Chassis Control
Full LED headlamps which consume 50 per cent of the power of previous Xenon lamps
Around View Monitor with Park Assist
New NissanConnect with smartphone app integration

At the heart of the new Qashqai lies accessible technology. A suite of innovations which, when combined, form a unique package of driver aids which not only significantly enhance safety and convenience, but deliver exceptional value to Nissan drivers.

Nissan Safety Shield is a collection of features designed to enhance the safety of occupants in line with Nissan's ongoing vision towards zero accidents, a sentiment underlined by the company's commitment to produce commercially viable autonomous vehicles by 2020.

In the new Qashqai, Safety Shield technologies include the following features:


Forward Emergency Braking
By scanning the road ahead using a built-in radar system, the Qashqai delivers three levels of assistance. First is an audible warning, alerting the driver if the gap to the car in front is closing. Secondly, if the driver does not react, the brakes are automatically partially applied. Finally if the gap is still closing, the brakes will be applied harder if necessary.

Driver Attention Alert
The new Qashqai gets to know you so that it can tell when you are getting drowsy. After learning your driving style, the system will monitor driving inputs, showing a dashboard alert if steering becomes erratic, indicating the driver should take a break.

Traffic Sign Recognition
Helping new Qashqai drivers to both stay safe and within the law, speed limit signs are automatically read by the front-facing camera and displayed to the driver. This function works across Europe, regardless of national sign typography. It even recognises that some countries enforce a weather dependent lower speed limit if it's raining, so both dry and wet weather limits are displayed to the driver.

Lane Departure Warning
A great feature for multi-lane highways, Lane Departure Warning detects if the car is starting to drift out of lane. Advanced computer programming detects road markings allowing the Qashqai to determine if it is drifting out of position. If it does, and the driver has not operated the indicators, a warning is given to the driver to correct their road position.

Blind Spot Warning
Nissan's system uses the rear view Around View Monitor camera to detect vehicles in the hidden blind spot areas on both sides of the Qashqai. If a vehicle is detected in either blind spot, a discreet warning light illuminates in the glass of the door mirror. If the driver indicates to change lanes and the system detects a vehicle in the danger area, the light flashes and an audible warning is given.

Moving Object Detection
The Qashqai is available with front and rear parking sensors which deliver audible warnings to the driver when manoeuvring as well as a visual display via the Qashqai's dashboard combimeter. On top of this functionality, the Qashqai also benefits from an enhanced version of the existing model's Around View Monitor ‘helicopter view' parking aid. When stationary, if something moves into the area covered by the four cameras the system will give an audible warning and highlight the area in which the moving object is detected. Mounted on the tailgate and having a fish-eye lens, the rear wide view AVM camera has a sweep of vision in excess of 180 degrees, giving it an unparalleled field of vision at the back of the car. Images from the camera are displayed on the new, larger seven-inch NissanConnect screen.

High Beam Assist
A high resolution camera combined with advanced software has led to a sophisticated automatic high and low headlight beam function for the new Qashqai. The system optimises the use of the headlamps in order to provide the maximum amount of light possible for any driving scenario.

Safety Shield is just the start of the Qashqai's technology story. Other highlights include:

Chassis Control
Using Nissan's very latest ride and handling know-how, Chassis Control enhances both ride and handling, learning from the development of a vast variety of features from past Nissan and Infiniti models. While the Vehicle Dynamic Control system (VDC) continues to correct severe traction loss, at lower speeds with lower forces the Active Trace Control applies specific braking force to each wheel to correct the course of the Qashqai when cornering, giving a more dynamic feel without interfering with the driving experience. What's more, when driving over undulating surfaces, Active Ride Control applies subtle braking to individual wheels to deliver flatter body control enhancing comfort for all occupants.

Around View Monitor with Park Assist
Automatically measuring the size of an available parallel parking space, Nissan's Park Assist actively steers into the space with the driver controlling forward and reverse motion. The system can also park in car park bays, with the driver benefitting from the helicopter view provided by AVM to guide them through the process.

New NissanConnect
In-keeping with new Qashqai's appetite for innovation, the new crossover will be the first model to go on sale with the new NissanConnect system. Now with a seven-inch touchscreen, NissanConnect has evolved to offer Smartphone connectivity to keep owners in touch with the outside world wherever their journey takes them. In the future it will have access to a range of apps covering music, social networking, entertainment and travel through a large, seven-inch colour touch screen. The new NissanConnect builds upon the recently introduced Google® search and Send To Car functions, which allow drivers to plan a trip at home.

The system includes Bluetooth audio streaming and mobile phone integration as well as Aux-in and USB slots along with DAB radio.

In addition to the main NissanConnect screen, the driver also benefits from an additional display within the instrument panel. It's one of the most advanced meter displays yet seen with a five-inch TFT colour display incorporating no fewer than 12 graphic displays accessible on rotation. Customisable to display different Qashqai body colours, the meter offers advice and warnings covering functions including average and actual speeds, fuel economy, turn-by-turn navigation instructions, audio content, traffic sign recognition, Nissan Safety Shield, Chassis Control, eco driving advice, as well as tyre pressure information and torque distribution settings in 4WD mode. Additionally, the driver can customise steering feel, lighting, auto light sensitivity, wiper and locking settings, plus drive computer contents.

Yeah it won't be like swapping a light bulb. I mean like a conversion. HID Xenon conversion will be the only option then

We don't get the title of third world country for nothing. Welcome to Malaysia.

Sad but true.

Place a booking for 2.5. Only got 4k rebate and few freebies Full tank, smart tag, tng money, carpet tint voucher and few small gift. Anyone gets better offer?

...and free upgrade to navi HU.

Current offer for 2.0 I get highest is 5.5k rebate

I would not want the tint voucher if I were you. Prefer cash discount. If keep the tint voucher, can it for other car than the X-trail. Normally, the tint voucher comes with T&C, and require to top up if want a better quality tint. No free lunch in this world.

If you're looking at these type of bells and whistles, then perhaps you should be looking at the Mazda CX-5 2.5L CBU instead.

Thinking the same thing. Since will take nissan tint package, will ask the sa to change it to other gift.

Can anyone using the ULTRA GLASS BODY COATING give a review?
