Thread: Nissan X Trail

Hi all


I may have to give up the work Ute soon and buy me own car, I've narrowed it down to this for me hunting and family hauling requirements

Approx 10K budget
5 star Ncap
Big enough to sleep in with seats folded down (Currently sleep in the back of the ute at the roadends)
needs to have some 4wd capability, just for farm tracks etc not proper offroad so AWD will be OK no need for low range.

This has narrowed it down to a 2010ish Nissan X Trail

Now my questions are, does anyone know if the 2.5L engine is better or worse for whatever reason than the more common 2.0L engine? Bigger seems better to me. And also, i realise they are just AWD or 4 High, but how is their 4x4 capability? Would be OK for a bit of muddy farm tracks? Most doc land i go has metal roads and then i take the quad form there so thats no worry.

Also, any other suggestions for that may fit the above criteria that i may have overlooked?

Cheers
