Review

Nissan introduced another X-Trail back in 2013. The crossover with the index T32 entered the world market in 2014.

The Russian assembly of the model started in early December 2014 at the Nissan site in Kamenka, near St. Petersburg. A little later, in early March 2015, the first copies were in the salons of Russian dealers.

Nissan Ixtrail T32 is built on the modular platform CMF, created in conjunction with Renault.

Compared to its predecessor, the third X Trail lost 100 kg. The wheelbase of the T32 increased from 2630 mm to 2706 mm. The length changed slightly - from 4630 to 4635 mm. The X-Trail was wider by 30 mm (1820 mm) and lower by 10 mm (1695 mm). The ground clearance remained the same - 210 mm.

Due to the possibility of changing the longitudinal position of the rear sofa in the range of 140 mm, the luggage volume varies from 400 to 497 liters (445 liters in the 7-seater version). With the backrests of the second row seats folded, the capacity increases to 1996 liters.

The X-Trail update occurred in 2017. Of the characteristic features, it is possible to note the redesign of the front part, which affected the radiator grille, bumper and optics. There are new LED lights behind, and a slightly transformed bumper. In the interior, a new steering wheel and a center console draw attention.

On the Russian market restyled versions hit in December 2018.

Security

In 2014, Ixtrale scored a maximum of 5 stars for passenger protection in crash tests according to EuroNCAP.

In 2016, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducted a series of crash tests, subjecting popular crossovers to a frontal impact with a small overlap on the left and right sides.

Of all the subjects, only the 2016 Hyundai Tucson was symmetrical in terms of safety.

Nissan Rogue (American name X-Trail) for the impact of the passenger side received a Marginal rating (on the edge), losing Honda SRV and Mazda CX-5 2015 model year.

The worst of all was the 2015 Toyota RAV4.

Engines

Russian buyers got two gasoline engines – four-cylinder atmospherics with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters.

In addition, a 1.6 dCi turbodiesel was available with a 130 hp return.

Foreign bets were made on gasoline turbo engines 1.6 DIG-T (MR16DDT), and after restyling - on 1.3 DIG-T (HR13DDT).

At the same time, in addition to the diesel 1.6 dCi (R9M), 2.0 dCi was present in the range (M9R - since autumn 2016). After the update, both gave way to 1.7 dCi.

Hybrid versions with a 2-liter gasoline engine MR20DD were also provided.

Common faults

There are no serious comments on the engines yet, except for some points.

So, in the case of the 2-liter unit (MR20DD) after 150-200 thousand km, an increase in oil consumption was sometimes observed.

In addition, in gasoline engines, a faulty phase-regulator valve sometimes caused a shyness (from 2,500 rubles for an analogue or 12,000 rubles for the original).

And after 100-150 thousand km of run in the field of view got the rear support of the power unit (from 2000 rubles for an analog or 7100 rubles for the original).

Transmissions

The engines were combined with 6-speed mechanics or XTronic variator. Atmospheric 2.5 was paired only with the CVT, and diesel 1.6 - only with the manual transmission.

The clutch of the manual transmission could require replacement after 150-200 thousand km (15-55 thousand rubles per set).

The variator, unfortunately, could ask for repairs after 100-150 thousand km of run. Some lucky people had to solve the problem at a distance of 30-50 thousand km. The cost of the contract box is about 180 000 rubles, and complex repairs – 160-250 thousand rubles.

However, in fairness, it is worth noting that there are instances that have passed more than 200-300 thousand km without repairing the CVT.

To extend the life of the variator allows regular and timely update of the transmission fluid (every 60 000 km, 9-16 thousand rubles).

After restyling, the variator received a number of improvements and a modified control program.

Full-wheel drive

X-Trail T32 with a 2-liter gasoline engine could be both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The other versions were all-wheel drive.

For the distribution of traction on the axes is the time-tested system Mode 4x4-i, which differs from the previous version only electronic filling. The choice of one of the three modes of operation is carried out using a rotary selector.

In automatic mode, the electromagnetic coupling connects the rear wheels as needed. In 4x4 Lock mode, the clutch remains locked to a speed of 40 km/h, and then goes into automatic mode.

The all-wheel drive system is quite reliable and practically does not need serious repairs. But leakage of transmission fluids through the seals of gearboxes are sometimes detected after 100,000 km of run. The cost of oil glands from 300 to 2400 rubles.

Walking

On the front axle are Macpherson struts, and on the rear - a multi-link.

Ball supports and rear silent blocks of the front levers become unusable after 100-150 thousand km. Ballroom in the original is only assembled with a lever (from 3000 rubles for an analog or 14 000 rubles for the original). However, you can choose a similar support for 500-2300 rubles. Silent blocks of the lever are available for 500-900 rubles.

By this time, the Silent blocks of the front subframe can also wear out. Only 4 pieces: two front and two rear (600-2000 rubles for one).

After 120-180 thousand km, the turn of the Silentblocks of the rear levers (400-500 rubles per piece) comes. A full set of Silentblocks will cost 12,000 rubles.

Front shock absorbers (4-33 thousand rubles) usually serve more than 100-150 thousand km, and rear - more than 150-200 thousand km.

Front stage bearings often had to be updated at a distance of 50-100 thousand km. Rear bearings usually travel over 100-150 thousand km. Both are changed in the collection with the hub - 6-9 thousand rubles plus 2-3 thousand rubles for work.

After 100-150 thousand km can knock the steering rack. This is usually the fault of the right support sleeve. For restoration repairs will ask 5-9 thousand rubles.

From time to time, damage to the anthers of the SRUS is detected (usually external - from 800 rubles for an analogue or 6000 rubles for the original).

There is a rupture and anther brake caliper (400-4000 rubles for a repair kit).

Other problems and malfunctions

After 5-7 years, chips sometimes begin to bloom on the roof, above the windshield.

After a few years, a number of owners notice sagging front bumper, and sometimes the rear.

After 100-150 thousand km from time to time begins to fail Parktronics due to the failure of the front sensor (from 1500 rubles for the analog or 10 000 rubles for the original).

After 100-150 thousand km, the overtaking clutch of the generator (2-5 thousand rubles) can fail. The air conditioning tube makes its contribution to the reduction of the clutch life. It forms a condensate that drips directly onto the clutch.

A little later, the bearings of the generator (400-800 rubles per piece) may be required.

The engine of the stove (from 3000 rubles for an analog or 25 000 rubles for the original) can make noise or refuse, having passed 100-150 thousand km of run.

CAN bus

Perhaps the most mysterious problem was the systemless failure of electrical equipment, which affected the dorestyling samples. The reason is poor contact in the pads of the CAN bus connection. The treatment involved physically cutting the pads and connecting the wires directly.

Initially, the manufacturer did not recognize the problem, and the owners had to pay for the solution of the problem from 6-8 thousand rubles in ordinary workshops to 13 thousand rubles in dealer services. Nissan later announced a free service event.

Nissan X-Trail T32 will please with reliable engines. But the variator sometimes causes serious and not unreasonable concerns. Fortunately, his rejections are not general. The remaining nodes and components have an acceptable resource, and characteristic faults are not too expensive to fix. If the variator does not fail, the content of the SUV will not seem burdensome.
