Mine 2.5% from PBB. Doc submitted around 12pm, loan approved by 5pm on the same day.

Rebate 6k + free 3 years service (including engine oil etc). I booked my x trail before it was launched and got my car in march..enjoy this SUV...who else is driving the new x trail?

Bro, the 3 years free service is only available for early bird who booked their car before launching but TC swaps it with free leather seat for 2.0 or navi set for 2.5

main reason i bought x trail is 3 rows + fresh & elegance look, of course the setback is lack of airbags as compared to CRV. Well, it depends on what you want, your money your choice smile.gif

CX5 is a SUV for the driver rather than passenger.
CRV is good in all aspect with its track record. No doubt.
As for the X Trail, majority love its 5+2 seats. If you have 2-3 small kids, and go out with parents on weekend, X Trail is indeed a good option. Not so bulky compare to MPV and look younger and sportier in SUV.

typically, more discount or freebies during Hari raya promotion, worth the wait if you are not in hurry smile.gif

Your kid complaint to you how uncomfortable the 3rd row is? Mind to know how old is your kid?

my 5 and 3 years old kids like to sit at the 3rd row....well, 3rd row is meant for small kid, not even for teenager....

Eh same lah! White 2.0 too. Haha. How is the car? Is the ADAD system help much? What warning can it show etc? Any other good function in the ADAD? I am thinking to upgrade the navi screen too. And also vkool elite
*
ADAD shows:
1) Fuel economy when accelerate
2) Chasis control for engine auto break & traction control
3) Warning : door, fuel, airbag, key detection (when key is not detecable within range)
4) Audio info
5) Setting for driver assistance, clock, meter setting, vehicle setting, maintenance, alarm (temperature, timer & phone)
6) trip info, timer, avg speed and range to empty tank

personally, i like the chasis control where invidual break will apply at different magnitude during sharp cornering to ensure you remain on the same lane and bumpy road for comfort purpose.

The all view monitor is the coolest thing that i love the most, very helpful when you park your car or pass through an alley or even cliff? Hahaha....

the navi set cost RM3.8k (during my time, now not sure) is not worth the money..but i upgrade the original fabric seat (that time no RM1 deal for leather seat) and tint it with llumar diamond 6 smile.gif

- In case im going for xtrail , ill definitely take the navi package just for my kids wink.gif
I'm worried that if i take the other ICE option from outside it might cause warranty issues.
*
bro, the navi set from TC is nothing special except larger screen and gps only but cost 3.8k. For me, waze is still the best FOC navi smile.gif

what are the ICE options in your mind to upgrade?

I am considering to coat my white car

Might sound a bit harsh here. But someone can buy your whole family of 3 generations for RM3.5K including your unborn child. Find some thing a lot safer, don't fall in a big corp profit trap.

No doubt, 2 airbags is the disadvantages of this SUV as compared to others 6 airbags but bro, airbag is not the only factor to consider when potential owner purchase a car.

The navigator even I ask for discount also they dun let. Rm3,800 is expensive. I think would go for aftermarket but dunno need to change dashboard panel or not as the existing one only 5".
*
Leather seat and navi set are FOC for 2.0 and 2.5 respectively but TC takes away the 3-year free service.

bro adrian, i afaid your warranty may viod should u change the non-TC navi set..

Yes this is what TC told me. Void warranty. Haii but the price of rm3,800 is really expensive some more if plus the 5.0" lcd they take out it easily cost a total of rm5k. Zzz

3 years free service is much better as it cost more.
*
My time was under 3- year free service promo. I spent RM2k+ for leather seat (mine is 2.0 model), llumar tint RM2k+ and reserve RM2k for paint coating.

Ask yourself a question : Is the 8' navi set a must have item or good to have as you can use the FOC waze...

No sin of having it if it's given free..hehe..but would be hard to get free leather seat n 8" for individual buyer..perhaps a group buy would have a better bargain power...anyone?
I have locked my interest on this 2.0 model..just waiting for a good deal..

N btw Bro isobutylene, how's ur experience of this monster after months of driving it? Any comment?
The leather seat ok? Sweat when drive for long distance? Saw a thread in lyn complaining about leather seat..
I've no experience in leather seat..all my life been sitting on fabric. .dusty. but comfy..
*
I like SUV for its visibility and feel more secured attributed to higher sitting position as compared to normal sedan car but when come to fuel consumption, really not comparable to my previous wira and vios lo...my best record is 13.7km/l but average 7.8km/l (i'm a typical 9 to 6 salaried worker who stuck in traffic jam everyday)

As for the seat, seriously i couldnt feel the power of 'zero gravity', for me it is just like a normal seat lo...

Good proper OEM system cost at least RM8k. RM3.8k probably is a sub-china stuff.

RM8k? Wow...too much la...
Do you know that Taiwan's CKD x trail comes with 8' navi with HDMI point that allowed you to connect phone to the screen? their package even include sunroof, power tail gate and 6 airbags...

there it goes

got to know the best offer is rm5k rebate with free 8" navigator and leather seats. (from kl side)

so should i say by bye to cx-5 n proceed with this? or just go ahead with the cx-5 2.5 facelift?

looks like i will have to get it from kl instead penang.
*
Bro, what is the main purpose for u to buy a SUV? Majority including myself choose X Trail is because of the 3 rows seat (SUV is more sporty and younger look compare to MPV), and of course, a fresh look compare to CX-5.

please dont get me wrong, for me, CX5 is a well designed SUV with its signature KODO motion...

Just got my 2.5 yesterday - booked on 23/05, super efficient SA biggrin.gif

Some thoughts on the 2.5:
1. The audio is pretty bad for a car at this price; or perhaps i'm comparing with the Kia(s) i have

2. When turn on ECO mode, the best FC i got was 6.9litre/100km - from Puchong to KL and vice-versa, via MEX

3. ECO mode really drives like turtle. need to press hard to make it to 110km/h

4. Kind of powerful, 80-140km/h with a breeze
[I]
5. Tried the voice command thing, doesnt really work too well. need to test more.

6. Was reading through the manual, i think a lot of applications are missing sad.gif

7. Suspension not the best in town (i guess), kinda bumpy/noisy

I had a test drive on the 2.0 too, really feels kind of under power. Once i sat on the 2.5, loved the feeling and power smile.gif

So guys, any idea if TC can change a better audio system for XTrail? I think changing outside would void the warranty ya sad.gif
*
Welcome to the club bro...you must have a very high standard on sound quality smile.gif for me, it is ok je...hehe

seriously, your best FC at 14l / 100km is not that bad la...my 2.0 average is 12l/ 100km...i never go off load so opted 2.0 is sufficient already for a family man like me wink.gif

for those who feel BUMPY , please lower ur tyre pressure so that the tyre is softer and will result with significantly less bumpy  ( dont do it if u load very heavy or full passenger).

Hope it helps

Isuzu mux is a truck-based SUV and its interior material is not as good as X-Trail especially the central console..just my personal opinion.

are you really willing to let go your 'favourite' SUV just because of 1-2k price different?
