Best In Class: Small 4x4s

3. Nissan X-Trail

4Car Used Rating:
Car Rating 4

Nissan X-Trail 2.2Di SE+

Why buy one?

This is a brilliant combination of a sophisticated on-road vehicle and highly able off-roader - it looks like a chunky off-roader should, with bags of room. Not as posh as a Land Rover Freelander, but much better built and now becoming more affordable.

What to look for

Any problems have been fixed under warranty - including some engines losing power and having noisy parts. Otherwise it is a Nissan, which means utter reliability - just look out for careless parking and lifestyle (child) damage.

Where to buy

There are more around now at all outlets, from Nissan dealers to independent traders and also auction, as a lot have been on contract hire.
