Style
The exterior of the latest X-Trail is certainly a modernisation of the decidedly dated exterior of its predecessor, while the new Nissan corporate design language will either be a hit or a miss, depending on who you ask. In this writer’s opinion, the X-Trail looks better from the rear than front the front, but is overall a relatively attractive SUV, all things considered.- Sean Nurse, AutoTrader
