A million rubles is an important psychological milestone for a car buyer. For all its conventionality, it separates the models of the "for everyone" category from those that only a few can afford. In the published review, we decided to consider crossovers that do not cross this border at a price per "base".

An intermediate link is what "asphalt" jeeps are. They contain genes for cars and full-fledged SUVs. From the first borrowed completely independent suspensions providing decent comfort and excellent handling. From the second four-wheel drive and increased ground clearance, which allows you not to be afraid light off-road. For serious exploits on rough terrain, "asphalt" jeeps are not created, because their main habitat is the streets of megacities. The most popular are compact urban SUVs with a length of less than 4.6 m. It is not surprising, because the small dimensions allow the driver to feel good in a close stream of cars and less suffer from finding a parking space. By tradition, the review includes cars supplied to Russia only through official channels.

The world saw the crossover X trail T31 from the famous Japanese Nissan Corporation eight years ago, at the International Geneva Motor Show 2007. He immediately aroused unprecedented interest in automotive world: he was criticized, praised, but there were definitely no indifferent. In 2010, the model was slightly updated; as a result of restyling, the car received more bright appearance And modern design salon. The basis of the great popularity of the crossover from Nissan, experts called a unique combination the best performance powerful car. And in 2013, the premiere of the quite predictable and expected third generation of the “Japanese” already loved by many took place.
Japanese developers endowed the X trail T31 with a fairly simple and strict design, without intricate lines and curves. But it was precisely this “angularity” that was appreciated by many motorists of the world, because the correct proportions of the body make it strong and muscular. It is this brainchild Nissan more looks more like a brutal off-road vehicle than a graceful one modern car of most current crossovers.
It differs from its predecessor X trail T31 with a more embossed front bumper and an updated grille. Another update to the front new form head optics, which received a "stuffing" of LEDs. Also, LED steel and rear lights. Additionally updated crossover from Nissan received a wider color range and new “shoes”: 17-inch wheels have noticeably changed their look and received 225/60 R17 tires.
As for the dimensions, the X-Trail T31 fits perfectly into the row compact crossovers: its length is 4636 mm, "height" - 1700 mm, width is 1790 mm. Wheelbase the sensational car from Nissan has an indicator of 2630 mm, and a clearance of 210 mm. Such high rate ground clearance once again emphasizes the excellent cross-country ability.
Salon interior.
If we consider the beauty of the salon, then we can fully agree with the opinion that the Japanese know how to remain true to the once chosen style. The strict body design has found its continuation inside the car: the correct geometric shapes of the instrument panel, excellent quality finishing materials and maximum high level functionality of absolutely all devices and systems.
Adjustable multifunctional steering wheel looks quite catchy against the background of a simple and convenient instrument panel. That's why many people love Nissan, it's because the developers do not try to "oversaturate" the tidy (make it bright and complex). The concept of the Japanese is just the opposite: even using innovative developments, they make the instrument panel easy to use and as functional as possible. The 5-inch touchscreen display is in its usual place, next to the audio system control unit and the climate control remote control. At the end of the description, it is worth noting: the control panel turned out to be modern, convenient and ergonomic.
For the interior trim of the restyled X trail T31, high-quality plastic was used, which fills you with pleasant impressions at the moment of touch and has high aesthetic values. Silver inserts favorably emphasize the beauty of plastic. More expensive equipment crossovers from Nissan Corporation have leather seats for all passengers. All panels are in close contact, there are practically no gaps.
The front row seats have an excellent stiffness profile, excellent lateral support and have six adjustment positions. On such a seat, the driver easily endures even fairly long journeys. The rear sofa is spacious enough for three large passengers, they have enough legroom. The back has several angles of inclination. For each passenger, an individual deflector of the climate control system is installed.
The luggage compartment from the Nissan corporation is spacious, even if we consider the car as an SUV: its volume is 479 liters. "Highlight" luggage compartment you can call it a double bottom - drawers are hidden in the "basement", one of which has found its place spare wheel. If there is a need to significantly increase the volume of the trunk, you can fold the rear row of passenger seats, as a result, we get as much as 1773 liters.
Specifications.
The restyled version of the crossover from Nissan has three four-cylinder engines, each with a special All Mode 4 × 4-i all-wheel drive technology.
The basic configuration of the crossover includes a 2-liter power unit MR20DE, powered by gasoline, inside which hides 141 horses at 6000 rpm, and 196 Nm of peak thrust at 4800 rpm. Paired with a gasoline engine, a 6-speed manual gearbox or CVT variator. Such a tandem allows the car to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 11.1-11.9 seconds. Max Speed X-Trail T31 is equal to 181 km/h. Fuel consumption is quite modest for a crossover with similar characteristics, it is 8.7 liters in mixed mode.
The most powerful is benzy new engine QR25DE, the working volume of which is 2.5 liters, and the power is 169 horses, it produces a torque of 233 Nm at 4400 rpm. The CVT variator allows the car to pick up acceleration in just 10 seconds. The maximum speed is 180-185 km, and the consumption has increased to 9.1 liters.
The third option is the 2 liter M9R turbodiesel. Its power is 150 hp. at 4000 rpm and 320 Nm of peak thrust at 2000 rpm. A “pair” can be made up of a manual gearbox or an automatic transmission, with six steps each. To accelerate to hundreds of km / h, just 11.2 - 12.5 seconds is enough. In general, a car equipped with a turbodiesel accelerates to a real 180-190 kilometers. mixed flow will be equal to 6.9-8.1 liters.
The popular crossover from Nissan is equipped with all-wheel drive transmission, which has three working modes: 2WD, Auto, Lock. Each of them is relevant on the roads different quality and at different speeds. For the most low speeds when driving on a busy city highway, it is better to select the Lock mode, and if it is possible to accelerate over 70 km / h, it would be better to switch to 2WD mode. Powerful electric amplifier steering wheel, rear "multi-link" and MacPherson strut mounted in front, provide a high degree control over the vehicle and guarantee instantaneous emergency braking.
Let's sum up.
Having considered in detail updated model X-Trail, we can safely say that the Japanese developers really did not work in vain: the crossover turned out to be of high quality, noticeable and has excellent specifications.
Cons of a car: a fairly solid cost - the basic equipment will cost at least 1,093,000 rubles. By the way, sales of new items on the market started with this figure. Although the release of the model was completed last year, the decline in popularity did not begin, and now prices are rapidly going up. This car is designed for those who do not want to bother with car repairs and constant trips to the service station, for those who really appreciate quality and do not pay attention to the cost.

Owner reviews Nissan X-Trail T31
Nissan X-Trail T31, 2010
Like the car very much. Beautiful, frisky "horse" in a masculine style. Even the wife is delighted. On the track in the Nissan X-Trail T31 you feel confident. And the variator is just a song. At low engine speeds, good acceleration, and even without jerks. The body is spacious and elbowed, two adult men do not knock. Convenient configuration driver's seat, does not let the back get tired when long drive. Like the steering algorithm. Soft, obedient. You feel the car very well. Reversing camera - how convenient. Very good visibility and, consequently, safety. Confidently referring to it, you move in reverse, and it shows how the car will move, what it can hit and where it will go. good optics, bright xenon, and special thanks to the designers for the spotlights on the roof. Good audio system. self-tuning receiver. It reads both CD and MP-3, and it can hold 6 discs at once. It's a sea of hours of music. Great sounding speakers. And the bluetooth of a cell phone. Easy to set up, easy to control, good audibility, and how convenient. Nissan X-Trail T31 leaves only positive impressions.
Advantages : stable and good steerable machine. Reliable and economical engine.
Flaws : small distance between the front and rear seats.

Nissan X-Trail T31, 2013
We bought a Nissan X-Trail in the T31 body a year ago and are very pleased with the choice! The machine answers all our family requirements- large enough and safe, while not bulky ( comfortable dimensions), good handling, agility, big trunk. IN basic configuration There is almost everything you need, and even what you don't need. Nissan X-Trail T31 is convenient in the city and traveling. Virtually no fatigue long distances. So far there have been no technical problems. The cross-country ability of the Nissan X-Trail T31, compared to the Chevrolet Niva (which was before), is worse, but the car does not initially claim the same cross-country ability. In a word, we are not overjoyed.
Advantages : optimal dimensions, handling, maneuverability, large trunk, reliability, versatility.
Flaws : there is no MP3 in the basic configuration, in difficult situations the clutch burns a little.

Nissan X-Trail T31, 2011
I bought a Nissan X-Trail T31 at the end of 2011. I was choosing between the new Outlander and X-Trail, but at the time when I decided to buy Mitsubishi, Nissan offered a more interesting price offer. Quite pleased with its features. During the winter, he showed himself perfectly, wherever it was needed - he passed. There is a lot of space in front, I thought it would crush the ceiling, but this does not happen, despite my not the smallest height (185 cm), I set the seat to the middle position in height. Compared to the "Outlander" in the back a number of Nissan The X-Trail T31 is a bit cramped (Mitsubshi certainly bribed me with this quality, an adult can sit cross-legged in the back).
A 2.0 engine in the city is quite enough, but on the highway, in a car with such a windage of more than 120 - 130, I did not try to drive, but for 110 there is enough power. In any case, I have never experienced the feeling that, well, he is walking slowly (although, to be honest, he used the “sport” button a couple of times when overtaking). Regarding consumption, the Nissan X-Trail T31 computer is lying about 1 liter per hundred (i.e., in the city 10.2 - 10.5 on the computer, it comes out on average 11.5, if you count the mileage on a full tank). Hopefully, of course, it will fall. On the track, I managed to drive in 7.2 liters. This is at a speed of 100-105 on the highway. Regarding the clearance - the edges took everything without question.
Advantages : a 4x4 drive that you can turn on with your hands and crawl out or crawl in where you need, and not hope that the automation predicts what you need. Panoramic sunroof.
Flaws : there is no USB input on the radio.

Nissan X-Trail Second generation, or more correctly - the second generation, was officially presented to the public in 2007 at Geneva Motor Show(the model received the index T31).
The first generation car (index T30) was conceived as practical car By reasonable price, the same qualities were retained by the creators of the second generation machine. In the new car, developers and designers have kept the tradition, improving both the functionality and practicality of the model, as well as its driving characteristics.
The dimensions were slightly increased compared to the X-Trail T30, which affected the increase in the size of the trunk - the length of the car increased by 12 centimeters and almost all of the increase was in the cargo part. The body retained its proportions and brutal rectangular shape. Added more aggressive plastic body kit. It is this design that allows the car to look like a truly "male" real SUV, unlike most crossover competitors with their slick forms.
The interior, like the exterior, is made for the sake of functionality: here is a multifunctional steering wheel with a simple and understandable dashboard(in the second generation it was returned to its usual place behind the wheel), and a rectangular center console deployed both to the driver and to front passenger. The console has a large 5-inch screen (in maximum trim levels), spinners climate system and a music control unit that does not cause any difficulties in managing - everything is intuitive and easy to control with one hand without taking your attention off the road.
We didn’t forget about comfort - full power accessories, seat heating, climate control, cruise control, sunroof, navigation, which are sometimes not recommended, deflectors air conditioner For rear passengers. Salon is made in black, hard plastic, good quality, with good fitting of parts without visible gaps with decorative elements"under aluminium". In the maximum configuration is possible. The front seats are multi-directional, including height and lumbar support for the driver's back. 3 adult passengers will sit comfortably in the back - rear seats tilt adjustable in three positions. If necessary, the rear seats fold in the ratio of 40:20:40, or completely lowered to increase from 603 to 1773 liters of usable trunk volume. 
We fold the rear seats and get completely cargo compartment with a flat plastic floor. In the second generation, a convertible box was added to the trunk for things needed on the road (loading height increased). The creators have not forgotten about the full-fledged spare wheel that comes with the X-Trail, it is hidden under the raised boot floor.
Technical features
Officially in Russian nissan market brought out the X-Trail T31 with two engines. The first completely new 2.0 liter petrol engine (MR20DE) and the well-known 2.5 liter petrol engine (QR25DE). The first develops a power of 141 hp. (torque 200 Nm), the second was boosted to 169 hp. (torque 230 Nm). Both have 4 cylinders in line, are powered by 95 petrol and have a choice of either a six speed mechanical box gear, or stepless variator CVT. For a 2.5 liter engine. a variator is installed with an imitation of six gears that can be selected manually - convenient on serpentines and for those who like to drive. 
Another new engine was offered for the Japanese home market, a 2.0 liter turbodiesel (M9R) with 171 hp and 350 Nm of torque. It was equipped with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. It was not officially delivered to our country due to the compliance of the motor with Euro IV standards, unlike diesel fuel in Russia, which does not meet this standard.
All configurations sold in Russia were equipped with proprietary technology intelligent all-wheel drive All Mode 4 × 4-i (i-intelligent).
To turn a car in an SUV, you need to use the swivel washer on the front tunnel to transfer the drive from front to full. Possible choice: 2WD, Auto, Lock. By default, in 2WD mode, all torque goes to the front axle. In Auto mode, when one of the front wheels slips, part of the moment goes to rear wheels, which allows you to feel confident on a wet, snowy or icy road (works up to 70 km / h). In Lock mode - “forced all-wheel drive” (works until reaching 40 km / h) - the torque is distributed equally between the front and rear axles- the mode is suitable for conquering country roads, shallow fords, sandy banks of rivers, lakes, as well as snowdrifts 210 mm high. That is how much the clearance of the T31 is. City curbs won't stop him either.
The front suspension is independent MacPherson type, the rear is independent multi-link. At the same time, the front suspension is mounted on a more rigid subframe and has a stabilizer roll stability larger diameter, and the rear shock absorbers received a greater slope, which made it possible to increase the size of the luggage compartment. Nissan platform C, known from the Nissan Qashqai.
IN complete set of Nissan X-Trail T31 includes driver assistance systems for ascent and descent (Downhill Drive Support and Uphill Start Support). USS (Uphill Start Support) holds the car with the brakes for five seconds, and at this time the driver calmly transfers his foot from the brake to the gas - and starts smoothly. DDS (Downhill Drive Support) - on the slopes does not allow to pick up speed over 7 km / h.
Nissan equipped disc brakes on all wheels. The steering wheel is equipped with an electric power steering, which increased the information content of the steering.
X-Trail is quite good in terms of safety. The car has many electronic systems, such as the system electronic control sustainability (ESP), anti-lock system(ABS) traction control system(TCS) auxiliary system braking (BAS). Nissan is equipped with both front and side passenger airbags. And in the maximum configuration and security curtains.
According to the EuroNCAP system for the safety of passengers and children in Nissan showroom X-Trail Т31 received 4 stars out of 5 possible. WITH passive safety pedestrians are worse - 2 stars.
In general, the second-generation Nissan X-Trail deserves excellent marks in terms of the combination of characteristics both for the level of equipment that is offered to the consumer and for its high functionality and practicality. The car is truly universal, suitable for operation, both in an urban metropolis, and in the suburbs and outside the city. Does not succumb to snow or to the curbs of city streets. The car fully corresponds to its image and purpose.
