NEW 2025 NISSAN X-TRAIL N-TREK E-POWER E-4ORCE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

Harry King reviews the 2025 Nissan X-Trail N-Trek e-POWER e-4ORCE, highlighting its "off-roadiest" variant status. While appreciating the purposeful front bumper and 18-inch wheels of the N-Trek, he notes the interior materials, particularly on the seats, are waterproof but not the most comfortable, feeling a bit sweaty and flat. The third-row seating is deemed impractical for adults, suitable only for children. The infotainment system is described as slightly laggy and outdated, though wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is a plus. The e-POWER hybrid system provides responsive acceleration and good torque, making it agile in urban environments. The reviewer praises its 1,800 kg towing capacity and the 90-degree rear door opening for practicality. However, the primary critique is the vehicle's overall blandness; it lacks exciting or unique features and feels like a "jack of all trades" that doesn't excel in any single area. The ADAS system is a significant irritant, being overly loud and intrusive. King suggests the Techna Plus trim might be a better all-rounder unless the specific off-road capability of the N-Trek is essential, in which case a more dedicated off-roader like the Land Rover Discovery Sport might be worth the extra cost despite its own drawbacks.
