Our contacts

The second generation of the Japanese crossover was introduced in 2007. In 2010, restyling was carried out, after which the X-Trail T31 received new dimensions, exterior, improved interior design and new body colors. The manufacturer also eliminated shortcomings in the control system and improved the variator. Now there are practically no problems with it, the main thing is according to the regulations.

By the way, it was this generation of Nissan X-Trail that became the most popular in the secondary car market. In order for the crossover to serve you for a long time and not require costly repairs, you only need regular comprehensive diagnostics of the X-trail and. Timely replacement of a worn part prevents major damage to any vehicle system.

What brings you to the Ixtrail car service?

There are no cars that do not require periodic repairs. Each brand has its own advantages and its own special “sores”. The Nissan X-trail is no exception, so let's look at its weakest points.

Fuel level sensor. It is not entirely reliable and is also very sensitive to fuel quality. Due to constant contact with fuel, the sensor contacts quickly oxidize. This leads to malfunction and incorrect readings. Sometimes just cleaning the contacts and board is enough, but sometimes replacement is required.
Electrical equipment. The crossover has traditional problems with electronics. Over time, wires and cables wear out, buttons and microcircuits fail. The main problem is that all these electronic elements in the X-Trail are located on rotating moving parts of the car, and this contributes to the fastest wear.
Heating system. It often creaks and whistles, which will have to be changed over time.
Noise insulation. Some owners are not satisfied with the sound insulation of the car and they come to a car service to strengthen it.
Valve train chain. As in many other Nissans, it requires attention after 100 thousand mileage. Chain stretching can cause serious engine problems.
Wheel bearing. If you torture your ixtrail off-road for a long time, then get ready for... Still, this is a crossover, and not a full-fledged frame SUV.

As a result, we can say that in the absence of aggressive driving and observing the scheduled X Trail service, you can avoid serious repairs, because the components for the crossover are quite expensive. You should also not avoid scheduled maintenance. Constantly change filters and fluids according to the manufacturer's regulations, and then the car will serve you for a long time without causing any special problems.

If you have already needed repairs on your Nissan X Trail T31, then we invite you to our car service center. Our specialists have extensive experience, and the Technoville technical center is equipped with modern equipment and its own spare parts warehouse.

Nissan X-Trail (T31) debuted in 2007. In 2010, it underwent minor changes that affected mainly the exterior and interior. And in 2013, he was replaced by the next generation. However, this car still deserves attention.

Design

The appearance of the Nissan X-Trail (T31) is very impressive. It is made in a peculiar, angular, strict design, in which there are no frills. We can say that the result is a brutal, even masculine car, the distinctive feature of which is muscular, correct proportions and, of course, a powerful front bumper.

The Nissan X-Trail (T31) is more SUV-class in size. That is, a compact crossover. It reaches a length of 4636 mm, a height of 1.7 meters, and a width of 1.79 m. It also has a good wheelbase. It is 2630 mm. But the main highlight is the ground clearance, equal to 21 cm. By the way, it is largely thanks to it that this car has become so popular among Russians. After all, with such ground clearance you can pass a variety of off-road obstacles.

Interior

The interior looks the same as the exterior of the Nissan X-Trail (T31). A high level of functionality, square shapes, high-quality workmanship - this is how it can be described briefly.

The first feature is a multifunction steering wheel and a dashboard on which there is nothing superfluous. It is informative and simple.

The interior of the Nissan X-Trail (T31) looks attractive, but no expensive materials were used. Pleasant (both in appearance and to the touch) plastic and aluminum inserts - that’s what you can see when you look inside. In expensive versions, however, the seats are upholstered in leather. By the way, the chairs have a good profile and pronounced lateral support. They can be adjusted in different directions. In the back, by the way, three passengers can comfortably accommodate. There will be enough space for everyone and it will even be spacious.

The trunk of the Nissan is large. About 480 liters of cargo can fit there, but if you fold the rear row, the volume increases to 1773 liters. And this is many times more. By the way, the back row folds into a flat area.

Characteristics

Special attention should be paid to what is under the hood of the Nissan X-Trail (T31). The potential buyer could choose the engine. Three in-line 4-cylinder units were provided. By the way, this crossover is all-wheel drive.

But the basic one was a 2-liter 141-horsepower unit. It was driven by a 6-speed manual transmission. But a CVT variator was also offered. By the way, for a crossover this car has good dynamics. It reaches hundreds with the base engine in 11-12 seconds (depending on the gearbox). And the maximum speed is 169-181 km/h. By the way, this is also a very economical car. After all, it consumes only 8.5-8.7 liters in a combined cycle.

Which motor is the best? Naturally, this is a 2.5-liter 169-horsepower unit, paired with a CVT. Its maximum speed is 182 km/h. And it accelerates to hundreds in 10.3 s. True, this engine needs more gasoline. About 9 liters per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle.

Other Features

It is worth noting that this compact crossover has a MacPherson strut at the front and a multi-link design at the rear. It was also decided to equip the car with systems such as ESP, EBA and, of course, ABS. Thanks to their presence, braking occurs effectively and smoothly. By the way, the Japanese “X” can also boast of having an electric power steering.

The basic equipment of the model is quite extensive. There is an on-board computer, air ducts (for rear-row passengers), climate control, a multifunctional steering wheel adjustable in two directions, power windows and a CD player (supports MP3). The main thing is that this is not the entire list. Also included in the basic package are heated seats, rain and light sensors, numerous containers, cup holders with heating/cooling function, pockets and a console box equipped with an armrest. In general, as you can see, there is everything you could possibly need.

What about the more expensive versions? For Russian buyers, this car was offered in two trim levels - SE and LE. The maximum equipment pleases with a leather interior and a braided steering wheel, the presence of a “cruise”, a chip key, as well as 18-inch alloy wheels. There are also all-round cameras and a color multifunction screen.

Now a T31 car made in 2007 will cost about 700-750 thousand rubles in good condition. It will be equipped with a manual transmission, a 2.5-liter 169-horsepower engine and good equipment.

This is a reliable car. It is enough to take care of it, change the oil, fill it with good gasoline and install a new battery on time. With proper care, the Nissan X-Trail (T31) will last for a very long time.

Children's Sores Nissan X-Trail of the second generation (2007 - 2010, restyling 2010 - 2015).

Nissan Xtrail is very popular in our country. Not surprising, because he is a frequent guest in the TOP 10, the best-selling “crossovers” in the world. All these successes are accompanied by good reliability and an affordable price tag. For example, 5 years ago, at Russian dealers, an all-wheel drive X-trail cost a million and a few kopecks. Quite a good offer for a mid-size SUV. This was achieved by a plant near St. Petersburg, which began production of the model in 2009. Up to this point, all imported cars were produced in Japan. There are no special complaints about the domestic assembly.

X-trail II was produced with 3 engines. Gasoline: 2.0 liters with a capacity of 141 horsepower (mixed fuel consumption - 9 liters per 100 km, acceleration to 100 km/h in 12 seconds) and 2.5 liters with 168 hp. s (up to the first hundred in 10.4 seconds, average fuel consumption 9.6 per hundred). A two-liter diesel engine with two boost options: 150 hp (highway/city consumption – 8 liters, acceleration to 100 – 12.6 s) and 174 hp (mixed consumption – 7.6 liters, up to 100 in 10 sec).

Three transmissions: 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic (only on diesel versions) and continuously variable transmission. All-wheel drive is connected via a clutch, but there are also front-wheel drive modifications.

Basic equipment: heated front seats, electric. heated mirrors, audio system with bluetooth, climate control, six airbags (4 stars euroNcap), ABS, 4 el. window regulator.

Maximum equipment: keyless entry, Bose audio system with USB, touch screen with navigation, all-round and rear view cameras, electric. seat adjustment, assistance when going downhill and uphill, el. folding mirrors, light and rain sensor, leather interior, stability control system, xenon headlights, cruise control, heated rear seats, panoramic roof.

Weaknesses of the Nissan X-Trail T31 or what to look for when buying a used one.


Transmission
The speed “floats”, “kicks”, shocks on the move - the variator fails (a very rare case), with timely maintenance - there are no such problems, the gearbox is very reliable	to avoid overkill of the variator: — oil change every 40 thousand km - do not skid, do not tow, do not accelerate sharply from a standstill — warm up before starting to drive (press the brake pedal, engage gear, stand for 5 minutes)
“weak” manual transmission clutch (except for diesel) - slips, smells in the cabin, “grabs” at the top	replacing the kit with an original or an analogue, in half the cases including the flywheel (50 thousand rubles), for prevention - do not tow (slip), fully depress the pedal
hum - knocking, vibration, appears during acceleration - “weak” driveshaft crosspieces	- replacing crosspieces - it is better to contact a specialized service (there you can balance the shaft) — for prevention — drive in 2WD mode more often

“whistle” of the stove motor, after a short time - failure (short life of the motor)	— bulkhead or selection at disassembly — install an analogue (for example, from AliExpress) - original motor
“creaks and rattles” 5 - I am the door	sound insulation

“weak” trunk lid gas struts	replace with reinforced ones
The windshield wipers rub poorly - the trapezoid bushings of the windshield wipers burst	grind the bushings or pick them up; if they are intact, add washers
“jabot” rattles (plastic trim above the wipers	glue with double-sided tape
Door seals (bottom) slip off over time	install pistons with a larger “cap” or screw in self-tapping screws
The trunk door often rusts	paint
Electrics
gradually stops working: horn, cruise control, buttons on the steering wheel, the AirBag icon is on - the steering column cable “breaks”	the best solution is the original cable (the Chinese one is enough for six months)
incorrect fuel level readings	clean the fuel level sensors (there are 2 of them), for prevention: fill the tank full when the empty tank light turns on
Engine
2.0 – increased oil consumption, observed after 100 thousand km (can reach up to a liter per 1000 km)	— switch to 5w30 oil — replacement of valve stem seals, piston rings
2.0 – antifreeze in cylinders – cracks in spark plug wells	replacing the cylinder head, for prevention: tighten the spark plugs only with a torque wrench - unscrew - “spray with chemicals”
extraneous sound when the air conditioner is operating - the air conditioner pulley bearing fails	you can supply an analogue, NTN brand
Suspension
frequent leakage, knocking (on uneven surfaces) of the front shock absorbers - short lifespan	suitable from Renault Koleos (they are cheaper)
knocking noise when driving through potholes, felt on the steering wheel - diagnose the steering shaft and rack (mileage about 100 thousand)	- many solutions on the club forum, for example - “tighten” with a clamp or install a new shaft — there are repair kits for the steering rack
“weak” subframe silent blocks (the parts are not expensive, but the work is not cheap)	install original
“hum” while driving (60-80 km/h) - wheel bearings, their average life is 50 - 60 thousand km	the hub changes together with the bearing, there are many analogues, for example from NTN

To summarize, we can say that most of the problems with the X-trail happen at about 100 thousand km, but you can always rewind it. Therefore, it is better to check the sores in fact at a service station. The most reliable is considered to be a diesel unit with an automatic transmission, of which there are only a few in our country (accordingly, the breakdown statistics are lower). The optimal choice would be a modification with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with a CVT. The car is strong enough, and the whole “bouquet” of diseases will not manifest itself in you, but some of them may.

Problems with other Nissan models.

Good afternoon. In today's article we will talk about the weaknesses of the Nissan X-Trail of various modifications. Traditionally for our site, the article will contain a lot of photos and videos.

History of the model.

Nissan X-Trail has been produced since 2001 by Nissan in Japan, Canada, Russia and the UK. During its production, the car went through 3 generations, each of which had a different platform, and went through several minor restylings. Since the platforms are different, each generation will have its own weaknesses, and we will consider them separately.

Separately, I would like to emphasize that the Nissan X-trail, of any generation, is not an SUV; it is an ordinary parquet and its place is on the asphalt!

The main drive for this car is front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive is activated automatically when one of the wheels slips and, by and large, is a driver assistance system. T.N. rigid locking of the center differential, connects the rear axle with a multi-plate friction clutch, and operates at speeds of up to 30 km/h, after which the system switches to automatic mode.

In general, the car outperforms the Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Honda SRV in cross-country ability, but is hopelessly behind the Land Rover Freedlander (this is due to the reduction gear in the transmission).

First generation Nissan X-Trail (Nissan X-Trail T30).

The first generation of the car is based on the modernized Nissan FF-S platform; previously Nissan Almeria and Nissan Primera cars were produced on this platform. Produced from 2002 to 2007. A distinctive feature of the car is the inconvenient location of the instruments (in the center of the panel).

X-Trail T30 is available with 2.0 liter petrol engines. (140 hp), and 2.5 l. (165 hp), as well as with a 2.2 liter diesel engine. (114 hp)

If you come across an export X-Trail from Japan, it is somewhat more interesting - the 2.0-liter gasoline engine in naturally aspirated version develops 150 hp. 150 hp and 280 hp with turbocharging.

In 2003, the first generation was restyled, with bumpers and interior trim changed, and engine power slightly increased.

In the case of Russia, the optimal choice seems to be a manual car with a 2.5 liter engine. Its fuel consumption is almost the same as version 2.0 (and in the urban cycle it will often be lower), and the transport tax remains at an acceptable level. Spare parts are also common.
