What is it?
Think of the new X-Trail as a beefed-up Qashqai and you'll be about right. They share the same platform and the family resemblance is obvious. But park them side by side and the X-Trail comes up higher and longer, a clue to the optional third row of seats lurking in the boot. So it's a seven-seater, which means it also takes the place of the Qashqai +2.
Nissan could, in fact, have branded it as an oversized Qashqai - such are the similarities between the two - but decided the X-Trail brand was still strong enough to carry itself.
