    New Nissan X-Trail v Santa Fe?

    Hi Jo-anne Yes - finally and after much thought we have gone for the XT Adventura 173bhp. We liked the Santa Fe (a lot) but we felt that the depreciation was greater on it than the XT and we had dealt with the Nissan garage before. However we haven't ruled out a Santa Fe in the future - it...

    New Nissan X-Trail v Santa Fe?

    Hi Bryn In your view is it worth spending the extra and getting the 173bhp? We only tow for a month a year so most of the time it will be without the van.

    Nissan X-Trail (the new one)

    At moment we are towing with a Passat 1.8T (Petrol). Lots of power but the suspension is too soft. We are looking at the new XT (Sport) but can't decide between 150bhp or 173bhp. Our present van is only 1200kg when loaded but we want to be able to pull a heavier van in future. Never had a XT...
