    I have picked up my X-Trail TI-L ePower. It's amazing. I dropped my order for Lexus NX350H. Lexus is great, but Nissan is $30K cheaper and I don't feel I have sacrificed anything going with the TI-L. The car is smooth to drive, and handles very well. Well done to Nissan on this car!

    I've had my one for 2 months now over in NZ and love it. I've never had the battery run out like Paul got it to do. I do lots of long drive over hilly terrain and still have very good economy. After each trip it'll tell you how many Kms you recovery in energy and one 180km trip I recovered 57kms. I like playing around and putting it in EV mode to turn the engine off and just use the battery and energy it recovers. I Looked at a few other hybrids and nothing came close to all the little features this has. Love the wireless Apple CarPlay, it just works.

    Just took delivery of my Jan 24 build X-Trail Ti-L ePower, and did SO much research before buying. A self-confessed lifelong car enthusiast, I researched, drove and analysed all the recognised competitors and some less likely competitors too. This car raises the bar and throws down a serious challenge in build quality, fitout and overall finish in this segment. As for the dynamics and motivation, I've read many of the negative comments questioning the logic of this innovative drivetrain but driving is believing, so my advice to anyone considering e-Power...go for it. Everyone keeps banging on about the Rav-4 and its slightly better fuel economy, and if fuel economy is all you care about, by the Rav, but if you want a brilliant all-rounder that sets a new standard of style, quality, comfort, smoothness and fitout , the X-Trail e-Power is a no-brainer.

    @@nipunrockster As for build quality, full petrol or e-Power is same-same... which is excellent. And there ends any similarity between the two. I assume that you have not driven the two back to back, because if you had, funds permitting you would have ordered the e-Power already...It's no contest for quietness, smoothness, performance, and general feel. The old-school 2.5 litre petrol engine has been in X-Trails since 2007 here in Australia, and this combined with the same-old same-old CVT makes the all-petrol car seem dynamically primitive compared to the e-Power. The e-Power drivetrain has transformed the X-Trail from beige and mundane to next level . I will say no more lest I upset the folks who have chosen the 2.5 petrol. They will I'm sure enjoy many many miles of trouble-free motoring, but it's a totally different car on the road. Bottom line, if you haven't driven the e-power yet, drive it. If you have and you are still undecided, then buy the petrol car because if you can't see, hear and feel the massive difference then you'd be wasting your money... Good luck

    Great review Paul. I spent a bit of time at Nissan HQ in Japan last month to test drive their cars including the X-Trail e-Power and the Ariya. The one thing I'm quite disappointed is the ProPilot feature we have in Australia on the X-Trail does not work as the same in Japan and that goes for all other brands that has semi-autonomous driving capabilities and I think this is why you're struggling with the final lane changing test. The Nissan guy next to me on the test drive said to me that roads in Japan are digitised (I don't know what he means by that) and the ProPilot is programmed to recognise the roads, signs, barriers and the lane markings in Japan. In the Ariya it is so much more advanced with their ProPilot, it is basically autonomous driving on the highway with hands off the steering wheel where I think if the Ariya was ever available on Australia, we would miss out on it because of the above. The Ariya relies on so much traffic and road data. As for the e-Pedal, when I was using it in the e-Power X-Trail in Japan, it came to a complete stop, you should have noticed a blue icon on your dash when you were using the e-Pedal that the e-Pedal will get the car to a complete stop without using your brakes.

    Thanks Paul. I was waiting for this particular review for a while. I was waiting for a Qashqai E-Power for more than 15 months. Ended up getting the X-Trail E-power Ti-L couple of weeks ago. I am glad I went for the X-Trail E-power. Very comfortable and satisfying driving experience. Done just over 1100km, mainly around Sydney and the fuel consumption is sitting at 5.6 L/100km. My Corolla ZR hybrid does around 4.7L/100km. Not a heap of difference. Happy with my purchase.

I've been hearing great stories about these new X-Trails, especially compared to the RAV4. The big downside in comparison is the higher running costs and servicing compared to the Toyota.

    Thanks Paul My brother and I looked at the Qashqai E Power and X Trail E Force in Ti & TiL. Longer wait for Qashqai because they are manufactured in the UK and the whole range of Qashqais are now the top selling car in the UK. Delivery in Australia is late this year. We test drove a X Trail E Force Ti and were blown away with the EV like driving experience. Quiet, comfortable, well equipped and super responsive. Decided Ti was the best package with 19 inch wheels giving softer ride, which was superb. His champagne X Trail arrives next week. He hired a RAV4 Hybrid last December and was underwhelmed. E Force was 3 months wait with restricted colour choice..

    Test drove a Ti version a few weeks ago and was very impressed with its linear acceleration and comfortable ride (quiet and refined). Placed an order for the Ti-L version. Realistic city and urban driving tests from Europe indicate economy of 5.5 litres/100 kms, with the engine 'off' about 80% of the time. High-speed freeway driving will see that deteriorate quite significantly however.

    Servicing cost is quite high and it runs 95 RON fuel to push the running cost even higher, yes, it is hybrid and does have good fuel economy (not as good as RAV 4). For those who love luxurious interior look, smooth drive and rich features, don’t want to wait long period of time to get a RAV 4, and don’t quite care about the higher servicing and fuel cost, I think X trail hybrid does tick all the boxes and could possibly be one the best selling hybrid SUV in Australia in the future.

    So just my experience after 2,500km in a short space of time - running on 91 fuel and in part highway driving and part city driving, I have been averaging 5.3 litres per 100km. Best driving at 4.5 and worst at 6.1 ltrs per 100. Mainly driven normal and on 'B' drive with occasional epedal. Sometimes on Eco mode too testing it out. Next fill will be on premium fuel to gauge any significant improvement. But easily averages 5.3 litres per 100. 900 KMs and filling 48 litres. Has about 136 KMs to go. These for me are terrific numbers. Just driving it normally but smoothly as you would expect a mature driver would. Very impressive SUV Hybrid.

    I think it's genius to do a motor generator electric drive system. No more drive train parasitic losses. 30% lost energy in drive train gone, only replaced with maybe 5 or 10% electric conversion loss. And for Nissan, they can now have a single electric drive train instead. You want hybrid, they out the generator and small battery in, you want BEV, they put a big battery in instead. The rest of the setup remains the same. Smart economic design decisions.

    30% drivetrain loss is grossly overexaggerated. I don't think you'll find any modern vehicle with even 15% drivetrain loss comparing crank HP vs wheel HP.

I don't understand how Max power of the electric motors can be reached if the engine can't match it and you have drained the battery? Thinking technically the output should be what the petrol engine can produce?
