How about the Hyundai Tuscon? Pretty well the same size inside and out except a shorter luggage area, V6 instead of 4-cyl. All versions have stability control and traction control, instead of the X-Trail, where Nissan forces you to buy the most expensive version to get this as an $800 option. The Tuscon has a superior warranty and costs less. $6000 less if you compare the cheapest AWD models availiable with full stability/traction control.
Studies are showing that stability control reduces SUV rollovers by something like 65%. So why would Nissan, with its claimed commitment to safety, not allow you to purchase this cheap option on all X-Trail versions, or even make it standard?
