What is the long-distance fuel consumption of the X-Trail?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the X-Trail during highway driving is approximately 8~9 liters. Below is some related information about the X-Trail: 1. Introduction to the X-Trail: The X-Trail (Nissan X-TRAIL) [1] is a model launched in Japan at the end of 2000, a very classic SUV, directly competing with rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The design philosophy of the X-Trail is positioned as a 'city four-wheel-drive vehicle,' which can be seen as Nissan's adjustment to the increasingly segmented market. From a design perspective, this car is a compromise to the market. 2. Exterior Features: Inheriting Nissan SUV's consistent styling, the X-Trail features hard lines, with a front face almost identical to its elder brother, the Patrol, especially the radiator grille, which is a direct lineage. The entire body appears very handsome, paired with 215/65R16 tires, giving it a tough and compact feel. This is quite different from the softer designs of its competitors, the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, making it more favored by men.
I think the Nissan X-Trail is quite fuel-efficient as a family SUV for long-distance driving. When I drive the 2.0L version on the highway, the fuel consumption stays around 7.2L/100km, which is significantly lower than in the city. Maintaining a steady speed between 80-100km/h is the most fuel-efficient. Even with the air conditioning on or increased load, it only goes up to 8.5L/100km at most. There are many factors affecting fuel consumption, such as road conditions—straight roads save fuel, while uphill driving consumes more. Driving habits also matter a lot. I prefer gentle acceleration and minimal sudden braking, which helps stabilize fuel consumption. Additionally, as the car ages, regular maintenance like oil changes and tire pressure checks can help control fuel consumption. Overall, the X-Trail is great for family trips—a 400km journey costs no more than 300 yuan in fuel.
