Real-world fuel consumption
6,428 Nissan X-Trail cars and vans registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol hybrid versions average 7.4 l/100 km on the road, against 6.3 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 17% more.
| Fuel | Vehicles | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 259 | 8.1 | 7.2 | +13% |
| Petrol hybrid | 6,031 | 7.4 | 6.3 | +17% |
| Petrol hybrid van | 138 | 7.1 | 6.2 | +15% |
Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

What it costs in fuel
On real-world figures the petrol hybrid Nissan X-Trail uses 7.4 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 1,110 litres: £1,938 at this week's average price in United Kingdom, its largest market in Europe.

A defect in the gas generator of the passenger airbag causes uncontrolled inflation and the release of metal fragments when the airbag is activated. This can cause injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
There is a defect in the gas generator of the passenger airbag. In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag, metal fragments can be released which can cause injury to the occupants.
In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag, the inflator body of the airbag could shatter and release metal fragments into the vehicle cabin causing injuries to the occupants.
In the event of the passenger airbag being deployed, the casing of the inflator may burst causing injuries to the passengers.

A fault in the gas generator of the front passenger airbag can cause uncontrolled inflation when the airbag is activated. Because the ignition pressure is too high, it can damage the airbag housing and cause injury.
The front passenger airbag inflators may have been manufactured out of specification. This could create excessive pressure within the inflator during airbag deployment and may result in separation of the airbag housing.
The engine bay insulation may have insufficient clearance from the turbocharger. As a result, there is a possible risk of fire in the engine compartment due to overheating of the engine bay insulation due to the high temperature of the turbocharger.
