Is the xtrail a newer version of the terrano, or is it completely different? Is the terrano any good?
I bought an X-trail in singapore. have used it to tour most of the south east asian countries including thailand. its performance is excellent. and although my current mileage stands almost at 140,000km the engine and feel still is like the first day i bought her.
I dont believe that Xtera and Xtrail here in the phils are the same. Most compare them, like they are disame kasi, kakainis!! Although I dont have an X-trail, YET! I dont agree that they are disame.
Oh and EXALTA.... are you dissapointed that you bought the STA model intead of the Grandeur 2001?
Hi guys, i owned an x-trail it is a really powerful vehicle, mine has the QR25DE engine, i live in dominican rep, I research the mods for this engine that is found too in the SE-R and Altima, and i found a lot of mods for my x-trail so the first mod i got is a Hotshot header, it fits perfectly on my x-trail so now im kicking asses in an Suv hahah
X-trail has a QR25, same engine as the B15 se-r and 4cyl altima.
It may be a good thing or a bad thing, depends on how you look at it.
I wonder if the canadian x-trail will also be built in mexico like the sentra's.
I would think so. I think Nissan wants to keep production of American cars in the USA, so I'd assume a Candian/Mexican? only (for the North American Market) vehicle would be made in Mexico.
But i'm glad we're getting it. Always nice to have things the Yanks don't.
Hmm.. thread started in 2002... some things never die.

I think is really good that we share engines, because we can get all the great mods that are desing for the Spec V!
look, we sure are lucky we have cars american guys are never going to see. i have an xtrail just like the one you want to buy. and believe me it'a a great deal. it has excelent fuel economy, it has exellent mid range torque, and acceptable off road abilities. it is demographically targeted but if you are that kind of guy, it is a car worth your money.
Hola Maf, my daughter lives on Roatan and will be driving my new X-Trail (buying in June) down to see her next fall. How does your X-Trail handle the mountains. Maintain high gear???
The QR25DE seems to be a pretty versatile motor ... in the Sentra SpecV sport compact, Altima family sedan and now small SUV.
It has the torque ... so why not? My friend had an '01 Xterra with the 3.3 and hated it. Not terribly powerful ... but VERY thirsty.
One thing to remember when modding the QR25DE is that you don't want to change it and give up the low end grunt for a little (non-usable) high end horsepower.
Mexican & Soon to arrive Canadian xtrail are maded in Japan, I don't think they'll be maded at Mexico.
Specially considering that Mexican Factories: Civac@Cuernavaca & Aguascalientes are producing light trucks (for domestic & some exports), whole B15's for these continent, B13's for Domestic & many LatinAmerican Countries (even Cuba) & 3 renault's models: Platina(sold as Nissan here and exporting to some Central American Countries), Clio & Scenic (Both sold as Renault's).
Tomorrow I'll receive my xtrail... I'll post my impressions.
I've been researching the X-trail and found your comment on this forum. We live in Chapala and are getting ready to purchase a new car. The X-trail is on our short list. Other cars we are considering is Honda Civic, Toyota Matrix and Honda CR-V. Because the X-trail is not sold in the US, I've not be able to find much in the way of comsumer report information.
One of my big questions is gas mileage. Most of our driving is Chapala/Ajijic and trips to Guad monthly and occasional more distant trips in Mexico.
Any information you can give me about your experience with the X-trail will be appreciated. Did you buy from a Guad dealer or through Spencer?
but at least my ride's the king of the b-14's
but that was before the X
Linear Mode
