Nissan X-Trail

"The 2020 Nissan X-Trail 1.7 dCi in N-Connecta trim is exactly the sort of family SUV that ticks all the right boxes for those who need space, flexibility, and a touch of rugged style - without veering into oversized excess. This particular example, a one-owner car with a full service history, showcases why the X-Trail remains a go-to choice for those who want a proper seven-seater that doesn't feel like a minibus. From the outside, it's classic X-Trail: confident but not shouty, with just enough SUV swagger to turn heads in the school run car park. The N-Connecta spec is nicely judged too, you get 18-inch alloys, privacy glass, roof rails, and a panoramic sunroof to let in some light for all seven passengers. Inside, it's family-friendly motoring done right, with thoughtful storage, an easy-to-use infotainment system, 360-degree cameras, and Nissan's clever ProPILOT driver assistance tech taking the edge off long journeys. Under the bonnet sits the torquey 1.7-litre dCi diesel, mated to a smooth CVT automatic gearbox. It's not about performance here, it's about refinement and long-legged comfort. And this X-Trail delivers that in spades, with relaxed cruising ability and just enough shove to handle a full load of kids, kit, and the occasional weekend adventure. The seven-seat layout, meanwhile, is genuinely usable, perfect for larger families or anyone who regularly juggles passengers and luggage. In a crowded SUV market, the X-Trail stands out not because it's flashy, but because it's genuinely useful. This well-maintained, one-owner example offers space, style, and that all-important practicality, exactly what a family SUV should be."
