IMHO Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) The 2.5V X Trail currently offered by Nissan in Thailand has the QR25DE engine and is Diesel not Petrol. There are a couple of comments in this thread, and an article in a Thai newspaper (who appear to have cut and pasted a review from another country without looking under the bonnet) that suggest otherwise. I was confused for a month so others may also be for a day or two. The QR25DE used in the X-Trail and Teana is definitely a gasoline/petrol/benzene engine. The "D" in the name does not stand for "Diesel" I hope you haven't been filling it with the wrong fuel Edited February 8, 2016 by IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused for a month so others may also be for a day or two. You are still confused. What makes you think the X-Trail is diesel? There is a E20 Gasohol sticker under the X-Trail 2.5L filler cap to avoid any confusion. Runs fine on 91 or 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace of Pop Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Will see if I can test drive the CX5 tomorrow and compare to X-Trail. It's supposed to be a very good handling SUV. As for that 2.0 CRV, probably under powered that's why so noisy...was it engine noise or outside/road noise? CRV - engine noise as well but road noise was more obvious, the CX5 i had already test driven once it was new on the market, sporty handling - now it looks already dated interior and exterior wise - the facelift will be out soon the X Trail is much more comfortable and Mazda Pattaya garage has a negative service reputation, so no option for me OIC...that is in accord with Honda's well know reputation of having problems with the interior noise on many of their models.. Last years ,noise well down in this years range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll confess to only visiting two Nissan dealers both in Bangkok but both only offer a 2.5v (and its the only 2.5 in the X Trail brochure which features 4 models). Haven't seen or been offered a 2.5L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen or been offered a 2.5L Edit have just checked the Nissan website which I should have done first. My Bad. Currently they offer 6 X Trail models for Thai market 2.0S 2WD Petrol 2.0V 4WD Petrol 2.5V 4WD Petrol 2.0S 2WD Petrol/Hybrid 2.0E 2WD Petrol/Hybrid has Auto Liftgate 2.0V 4WD Petrol/Hybrid I put Petrol/Hybrid because I read yesterday they are going to be offering a diesel hybrid X Trail in India. Although the site doesnt say fuel it says QR25DE engine. When I asked the very pleasant sales person if that meant Diesel she said yes. She obvioulsy misunderstood the question. So to be clear the 2.5V is petrol and i was wrong. Edited February 9, 2016 by turgid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
