First Drive: 2025 Nissan X-Trail E-Power E-4orce
If there’s one criticism that you can throw the Nissan X-Trail’s way, it’s that it doesn’t have a strong identity.

By the time the third-generation model rolled out in 2021, it was the very definition of “ho-hum.” It had a set of jump seats at the back, but even that wasn’t enough to overcome its plain-as-vanilla personality. Buyers seemed to agree.
