Once Nissan X-Trail also has good sales and recognition in China, and after the change, due to Nissan's aggressive three-cylinder strategy and some well-known reasons, this generation of fuel version of X-Jun is almost unpopular, and Nissan has also introduced its own E-Power hybrid X-Trail model, and gave a very sincere parameter configuration and guidance price, out of curiosity I naturally went to experience it to see if its actual performance can help X-Jun regain market recognition.
The test drive is a luxury version, That is, the version with a price of 18.99, Qi Jun e-power (hereinafter referred to as Qi Jun Hybrid) models are all series hybrid, front and rear dual motor drive 340 horsepower, just look at the parameters are still quite strong, the actual performance, the absolute power is still quite good, in the current situation of National Six B should be the fastest gear in the same class, but the physical feeling is not as fast as 340 horsepower (I don't believe you can compare some models with similar horsepower to see their acceleration ability), of course, such power performance is more than enough within the legal speed limit. The smoothness performance is praised, there is no setback or breakout overall, and the intervention and exit of the engine will not bring any fluctuations in power. In the past, the problem of non-linear throttle of some Nissan models was also optimized on this car, and the overall throttle and power output were still very linear and easy to control. The power response is generally good, daily driving is basically with the step, a little insufficient is if the engine is stopped floor oil can feel a little two-stage power execution (waiting for the engine to start), about 80% of the vehicle quickly after stepping down, and then accelerate at full force after the engine starts to intervene. If the engine is on and the acceleration is sharp, there is no problem. The main changes in the sport mode are the battery's power retention logic and the engine's starting frequency, so there is no significant change in the overall output linearity and response speed. Overall, this powertrain can give praise considering the positioning, and although it is not particularly perfect, it is also very good to drive.
Chassis performance separately, unfortunately like the last experience of Xuanyi e-power, this tire pressure is still very high (about 3.5) naturally does not represent the actual performance of this car, so briefly talk about the performance at this time, not the performance of this car under normal conditions. At this time, the feedback of small vibrations is still quite a lot, the feeling is still quite broken, it is okay to throw the body attitude after some throwing, and there will still be some unnecessary movements when passing speed bumps.
Sporty performance is average, not too intense driving, but a simple try to feel that the body roll control is general, not very sporty settings, the steering feel is general, the overall light, the gain with the speed with the angle is not very obvious, after the speed is fast, the steering center area has no damping, subjectively feels very "panicked", may give people some "floating" feeling. There are no noticeable changes in sport mode, either. The steering response and body following are OK, and it is quite flexible in daily driving.
There are some problems with the brake foot feeling, unlike the Xuanyi e-power, this car has a CRBS (which can be observed from the instrument), but the release of the actual braking force is not very linear, the initial section is still slightly virtual, and the smoothness of the brakes requires a certain degree of adaptation. And this car's "single-pedal mode" (the specific name seems to be called e-pedal, take this collectively) also briefly tried, the braking force is still greater than on the Xuanyi, if you like people to a certain extent can indeed achieve single-pedal driving.
NVH performance praise, although equipped with a three-cylinder engine may cause some doubts, but the car's three-cylinder engine for noise and vibration suppression is very good in the same class, daily driving engine intervention is not very obvious, even when accelerating sharply, only the sound is slightly more obvious, basically no vibration, wind noise and environmental sound isolation are very good, there is no problem within the legal speed limit, road noise is relatively obvious, but the flaws are not hidden, overall in the same class is relatively quiet.
Statically, Qi Jun Hybrid basically continues the previous design concept, and it is still very recognizable in appearance, with some hardcore feelings, and whether you like this is a matter of opinion.
The interior performance is praised, the look and feel is still relatively good, the workmanship materials are also good, basically the place that should be soft materials are soft materials, the car machine simply tried it, the reaction speed and fluency performance are still very good, the menu logic is also relatively easy to get started, of course, some functions such as K song I think it is not necessary, the air conditioning area is also a physical button is easy to adjust, the LCD instrument can display more information, but also relatively easy to find (such as quickly found that the tire pressure is high).
Front ergonomics is okay, it is relatively good to find a suitable position, the seat itself has no problem with the riding experience, the rear row performance is average, the space is not too large but it is still enough, the seat back angle is steep, and the seat itself rides OK. The trunk space is ok, the floor is a little high, and the depth is not bad.
In terms of configuration, the two configurations given by X-Jun hybrid this time are quite good, even the low-end configuration is quite rich, driving assistance, 360 ring shadow these are equipped, simply tried assisted driving, acceleration is okay, braking timing I personally think can be a little earlier. The difference between the two configurations is 1w, and if the budget is sufficient, I personally think it is more cost-effective to exchange these configurations.
In general, the performance of this X-Trail model I think is still remarkable, less than 20W guidance price to hybrid four-wheel drive and higher configuration, compared to the fuel version of the inexplicable configuration distribution and pricing is much better, but also see that Nissan this time is indeed out of a certain sincerity, of course, today's market environment is also very volume, and this car itself in the word of mouth (three-cylinder and previous media communication) still have some disadvantages, so whether this car can achieve good sales also let us wait and see.
In addition, this car I found that its WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption reached 6.43L, look at the old rival Toyota Rongfang and Lingfang's four-wheel drive version is about 5.25L, and a higher level Highlander four-wheel drive version is only 5.97L, of course, this may be related to this car has stronger power and other factors, as for the actual fuel consumption performance of this car and the difference with the opponent, you can pay attention to the relevant tests.
