Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 2005Nissan X Trail 2.2 diesel
Hi, I'm new to this group but would welcome feedback on X-Trail fuel consumption from any other owners out there. I'm getting between 35.5 and 38 miles per gallon doing mainly long distance driving at 70 (ish!) on the motorway. This seems lower than the published figures but the garage says everything is fine. Thanks for your help, regards, Keith > Hi, I'm new to this group but would welcome feedback on X-Trail fuel > consumption from any other owners out there.

I do rather quick and accelerate quite rapidly and have had it up to 115mph. I was rather dissapointed in it but considering the way I drive I suppose its to be expected. By comparison I had a 2.0l DTi Zafira before the X-trail and was getting around 40mpg out of that while been driven in the same manner. Other owners were reporting top 40's or 50 so it is probably just my driving style. Steve >Im getting around 31mpg from the 2.2 DCI (is yours DI or DCi).

I would guess so, in my DI 2.2 Almera I get about 48 around town, 62 at a constant 70 and 74 at a constant 60, both worked out on the motorway over 300miles with 3 stops for tea etc.  SignatureClive. > I would guess so, in my DI 2.2 Almera I get about 48 around town, 62 at > a constant 70 and 74 at a constant 60, both worked out on the motorway > over 300miles with 3 stops for tea etc. Im heading down to England tomorrow so may just try and take it steady for say 100 miles and see what consumption I get. I have tried this before but gave in cos Ive ended up putting my foot down to play with people cos they automaticlly think that its a slow vehicle, will have to resist!!

My X-Trail is a 134 bhp DCI. Regards, Keith >> Hi, I'm new to this group but would welcome feedback on X-Trail fuel >> consumption from any other owners out there. I'm getting between 35.5 [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Steve I measured the consumption as promised. When I filled up, the previous consumption was around 35 which is the best I have had so far. I drove 134 mile and refuelled to the brim. I drove between 56 and 65 mph all this and as a guess was sitting at about 63 most the way. I worked out consumption to be 43mpg which is rather cool. After filling up again I drove the rest of the journey at a greater speed, did some about town journeys for a couple of hours and then filled again and got 35mpg again. Hope this helps Steve > Hi Steve, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> >> Steve That's great, Many thanks for your help Steve. Sounds like our two cars are doing much the same which is reassuring at least! Thanks again, regards, Keith >I measured the consumption as promised.

Also nice knowing that the X-trail will do 115mph (GPS recorded speed) which is pretty quick for a small SUV and 3mph more than the specs say. Had a young chav in a newish honda civic pushing in front of me and a longish queue of other people at a roundabout by driving up the right lane and then pulling in front of me at the exit of the roundabout. After about a mile the now SC comes to another roundabout then onto a DC for a 1 mile long slip to the motorway. Soon as we offf the roundabout he really put is foot down to overtake a couple of vans and he was constantly looking in his mirror to see if I was still there. He was really really booting it. Moved over to left lane and I just shot past him still accelerating when his civic had just seemed to not want to build up any more speed. Think that x-trail gave him a shock! Steve |
