You’ll love it @HoneyMonster

I have the same model, but in Red.  It’s easily the best car I’ve ever had, but it’s a shame there’s no remote rear door. I sometimes have to ask passers-by for assistance.

Yes that was my only criticism. I was glad that the test model today was in same spec, as previosly had been out in Techna plus model. So was good to try everything in spec i will be getting.

What mpg are you getting ?

I test drove the 2 wheel drive e-power yesterday and despite it being a hybrid and being very frugal with my driving style I was not able to achieve more that 37 MPG. I know it’s a big SUV but that is awful fuel economy so despite it being a very comfortable attractive car it’s off my shorlist.

@kezo My similar-sized former vehicle Toyota RAV4 (also hybrid) managed to attain just 38mpg over 5+ years.
Over the last 4 months of having the Nissan X-Trail, I’ve attained 44.3mpg.  I mostly drive with it in eco mode, and as the last 4 months have been warmer than the average over 5 years, I’d assume that will likely come down to that of similar economy as the RAV4.

Thanks @T.O.M

I ordered mine in July and it hasn’t even begun to get built, let alone shipped, lol.

I collared a guy in the supermarket to ask him about his and he’d owned it for 4 months, been all round Scotland in it, and it averaged 42mpg. It was the epower one but Tekna spec.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>We collect ours on Wednesday, an N-connecta E-4orce ordered in January.</p>
On our test drive we managed an average of 42mpg, from a mix of town and B roads.

We are changing from a petrol 2ltr Honda CRV 4wd that gets 36mpg so I’ll be delighted if the mpg improves upon that, even slightly.

Really looking forward to new car day!
