Suppose I were to describe a car to you using the following terms: spacious, powerful, family-centric, quiet, and luxurious. Which car springs to mind?
The car in question is the new X-Trail e-POWER from Nissan. This vehicle is a beast in its class, boasting a 1.5-litre three cylinder turbocharged engine. It powers two electric motors situated at the front and rear axles, delivering an impressive 201 horsepower and 330 Nm of torque to the front motor and 134 horsepower and 195Nm to the rear motor.
Beefy exterior for any road conditions
Have you ever experienced days with torrential rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms? Perhaps you’ve even encountered mini floods on the roads of Singapore.
However, these challenging road conditions will never pose a problem with the new Nissan X-Trail.
With its robust 19 inch wheels and elevated seating, the car stands at a height of 1.725 meters, making it more than capable of handling any type of road terrain in Singapore.
Never short of storage spaces again !
The Nissan X-Trail e-POWER model that we reviewed is furnished with a stunning Amber Nappa leather upholstery with Alcantara interior. This lends an exquisite balance of comfort, durability, and luxury.
Within its cabin, you’ll find abundant storage spaces, including sizable cup holders for both the driver and passenger, as well as an additional two in the floating center console.
What truly stands out is the unique floating center console in the X-Trail. This feature offers ample room to store longer items, such as a thermos flask or an isotonic water bottle for your outdoor adventures.
Furthermore, drivers can take advantage of the spacious center console with its butterfly opening, designed to easily accommodate larger items.
As highlighted in our review, the X-Trail also includes a conveniently located wireless charging pad, perfect for keeping your compatible mobile phone charged during long journeys.
Tilt & slide power sunroof with panoramic glass roof might just be for you
If there’s one standout feature of the X-Trail, it’s the panoramic sunroof that extends all the way to the back seats.
This is ideal for family outings or adventurous groups who enjoy an open-air drive.
Whether it’s day or night, the panoramic sunroof is there to enhance the driving experience for everyone in the vehicle.
Comfy rear passenger seats with built in sunshades
As you settle into the rear passenger seats, the first thing you’ll notice is the generous amount of legroom and headroom available.
Especially with the plush leather seats, passengers in the back will find it hard to leave their seats once the journey gets underway.
Rear passengers will also appreciate the convenience of adjusting their own air conditioning vents with temperature control. Additionally, they have access to a pair of charging ports, one USB Type-C and another USB Type-A, adding to their comfort and convenience
Whether embarking on lengthy journeys across the causeway or cruising along the sun-drenched roads of Singapore, passengers can effortlessly lower the built-in rear door sunshades for added comfort. How convenient!
Impressive rear cargo capacity for the next adventure
When it comes to cargo space, the Nissan X-Trail is more than generous.
With a generous 485 liters of cargo space in the trunk, all items for family outings or road trips can be easily packed and conveniently stored.
Moreover, on days when transporting large items like a foldable bike or substantial equipment becomes necessary, the rear seats can be effortlessly folded down to create additional room.
Our favourite feature of the trunk is the flat surface it creates, which facilitates easy loading and unloading of larger and heavier items.
Vroom… how does the Nissan X-Trail e-POWER drive ?

According to our reviewers at ROADS.sg, Jay emphasized that despite the X-Trail’s size, it’s remarkably responsive and navigates tight bends with ease.
The car’s suspension handles bumps proficiently, resulting in minimal body roll when taking on sharp turns.
This vehicle delivers ample power and torque when required. Propelling all four wheels with 201 horsepower and 330Nm of torque at the front and 134 horsepower and 196Nm of torque at the rear ensures the car leaps forward when the throttle is applied.
