What is the weight of the X-Trail?
4 Answers
The X-Trail has 8 models currently on sale, with a curb weight ranging from 1590 to 1753kg. It is available as a 5-door 5-seater SUV and a 5-door 7-seater SUV, with dimensions of 4681*1840*1730mm. In the same class, the Tiguan L 2022 model has a curb weight of 1665kg, while the Honda CR-V 2021 model weighs 1506kg. In terms of power, the X-Trail 2021 model includes seven variants: the 4WD Premium 7-seater, 2WD Luxury, 4WD Premium, 2WD Luxury 7-seater, 2WD Trend, 4WD Ultimate, and 4WD Luxury. All are equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a CVT transmission (simulating 8 gears). The engine has 3 cylinders, and the drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. Other features of the X-Trail 2021 model include, in all or some variants, front and side airbags, front/rear curtain airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, and driving mode selection. It's worth noting that the X-Trail is a compact SUV introduced by Nissan in 2001. Unlike its competitors in the same segment, the X-Trail has maintained a rugged off-road appearance and features, making it popular among off-road enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. It is also the best-selling SUV in the Japanese market, topping its segment in sales for ten consecutive years.
The weight of the X-Trail typically ranges between 1,450 to 1,600 kilograms, depending on the configuration. For example, the two-wheel-drive version is lighter, while the four-wheel-drive version with additional equipment is heavier. I often pay attention to SUV details and find that weight significantly impacts daily use. For instance, it feels stable when driving in the city, but parking and turning might be less agile. Compared to other SUVs like the Honda CR-V, the X-Trail is slightly heavier, which is due to its off-road-oriented and sturdy chassis design. I recommend test-driving to get a feel for it, as a heavier vehicle naturally leads to higher fuel consumption, especially in traffic jams. From an environmental perspective, lightweighting is now a trend, but the X-Trail's weight provides good stability on the highway.
From driving experience, the weight of the X-Trail is roughly a bit over 1.5 tons. I've driven this model before, and it maintains steady speed on highways without much swaying. However, it noticeably consumes more fuel when climbing hills in mountainous areas. The vehicle's weight primarily depends on the engine type and drive system—for instance, the hybrid version might be slightly lighter, while the gasoline version with full equipment tends to be heavier. For daily maintenance, I recommend checking tire pressure, as proper inflation can reduce the vehicle's load and improve handling. Increased weight also affects braking distance, so extra caution is needed when driving in rainy conditions to ensure safety first.
The Nissan X-Trail weighs approximately 1,500 kilograms, which is significant for safety in this SUV class. A lower center of gravity reduces rollover risks, especially providing more confidence when driving on slippery roads. As a parent, I always prioritize vehicle weight and crash protection. While excessive weight may cause slight braking response delays, the X-Trail's design achieves good balance. During long-distance driving, it offers advantages in comfort and stability, though fuel consumption increases slightly with the weight. I recommend choosing the version based on your specific needs.
