VIDEO: 2019 Nissan X-Trail – Hybrid vs 2.5L vs 2.0L

The 2019 Nissan X-Trail facelift is now officially on sale, with four variants and three engine configurations to choose from. The 2.0L and 2.0L Mid both share the MR20DD 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol engine, making 144 PS and 200 Nm of torque. The 2.5L 4WD makes 171 PS and 233 Nm of torque, whereas the 2.0L Hybrid combines the same MR20DD 2.0 litre engine that’s married to a 41 PS/160 Nm electric motor. Xtronic CVT is standard for all models.

By now, one of the few curiosities you may have is, how do they actually stack up against each other? Is the Hybrid really the quickest of the bunch, as per Nissan’s claims? Well, in the video above, we put all three side by side in a drag race to find out.

To recap, the new X-Trail range is priced from RM134k to RM160k. All models are EEV-certified, and included in the price is a five-year unlimited mileage warranty programme. In the case of the 2.0 Hybrid, it also covers hybrid parts and the lithium-ion battery. You may also watch our walk-around video, as well as a detailed look at the new Nissan Intelligent Mobility system.

    Another in depth coverage of the Xtrail from paultan which is good because this SUV costs less than it’s Jap competitors while being generous with specifications.

    With Subaru going to Thailand, Tan Chong only have Nissan to rely on and that too isnt doing any better either. Even this XTrail doesnt have the wow factor, so unless the pricing is wow, it wont be able to draw in 25k bookings unlike a certain local competitor which overflows with the wow factors.

    The 2.0L without hybrid drive is the one – less complexity and cheaper to run. The difference in acceleration is not noticeable in daily driving. Not too sure about the handling though, but less weight equals better handling.

      What else can they do when they were forced to talk good about this car when the competitors are so much better?
