NISSAN X-TRAIL e-Power ⭐ A different electric car – You won't believe its consumption Let's start!?, your reference channel in the world of motors on YouTube, takes the wheel of the newly arrived Nissan X-Trail 1.5 e-power e-4orce 4x4 7 seats tekna+. With this name and so many surnames, it is clear that it is Nissan's best, and that the fourth generation of the Japanese brand's SUV/4x4 wants to please everyone. However, it only half achieves this, because it is true that in terms of design, habitability and equipment it gets an outstanding mark, in the PVP and consumption sections things change to insufficient. Its 213 hp and 4x4 traction are more than enough, but the fact that an electric car has a 55-litre petrol tank to operate, should not justify the Eco Label it sports, let alone the Zero Label. In addition, the noise made by the combustion engine does not sound very natural and the 56,000 euros of our unit end up putting you off. But there is much more to tell. Tested, the Nissan X-Trail 1.5 e-power e-4orce 4x4 7 seats tekna +. Let's start!? Unboxing Unboxing Nissan Unboxing NIssan X-Trail The first thing that catches the eye is its design. The leap forward is decades, not years, and the risk is appreciated, especially in the front, which is mind-blowing. It does not go to the extreme of the Ariya, which is already crazy, but its lines really are futuristic to the max. However, in the rear there is more continuity, it does not go unnoticed, but less risk has been taken. Inside we like it a lot. We are aware that it is the most equipped finish of all, and that is something that must be warned. In terms of screens, customization, connectivity, driving aids... feeling good and comfortable behind the wheel... well, phenomenal. We have driven more than 1,200 kilometers in this unit, which reached 5,000 just after delivery, and we have really traveled comfortably as a family with two little ones and lots of stuff in the back. It is a luxury to have top seats, both front and back, foldable 60-40, with a bench that slides 22 centimeters to make the trunk bigger or make the passengers in the second row sit like kings, reclining backrests at various angles, heated side seats, with curtains, and for 800 euros more, two seats folded in the trunk in case of an emergency. Nissan itself does not recommend putting anyone over 1.60 meters, and there must be a reason for that. In the video you can see the agility needed to get in and out without dislocating anything, and then you have to go very hunched over and with your head touching the roof. For a hurry. The boot is fine, bear in mind that without the 7-seater option there is 100 more litres of capacity… and I can tell you that I have put everything in without any problems. On a dynamic level, the almost two tonnes of empty weight of a car that has also lost many points in off-road driving are quite noticeable, precisely because of that excess weight, 200 kilos more than the most affordable option, which has neither e-4orce nor e-power traction. Of course, it also has an eco label and starts at just over 40,000 euros. Something more logical for a 1.5 with 165 hp. To get to our engine, traction and equipment, 15,000 euros are to blame. We almost go into premium mode for that money, to be honest, and as I say, agility is not among its abilities. Nor is saving on fuel consumption. It has 5 driving modes, and not even in Eco mode, where a noticeable loss of power is noticeable, do we manage to get decent consumption. It has a homologated 6.5 l/100, and I swear I would love to see how they did it, because it is difficult to get even close on any terrain. To the point that I have looked at the competition and the normal thing is to see averages between 8 and 9 liters. At 120 km/h on the highway you get 9 liters easily. That's it. We have also tested it a bit off road, you can see the images in the video. It is still suitable for terrain with little difficulty, but it has lost agility and dimensions. It is true that it is 20 centimeters higher than the ground, but otherwise, it is average, compared to previous versions. On the “I would buy it” scale, the Nissan X-Trail 1.5 e-power e-4orce 4x4 7 seats tekna+ scores 5.9. It is clear that we do not like the price, 4x4 capabilities and consumption. The headline “the electric that consumes the most gasoline” is true. Also, if we want to be picky, some of the driving assistance elements could be improved, such as the warning to grab the steering wheel... which jumps and makes a terrible beep even if you have the steering wheel held with both hands. Really annoying on the motorway. Finally, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE (it's free) and follow us on social media: TWITTER - / _arrancamos_ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/_arrancamos...
