Questions this answer covers
- Does Nissan X-Trail fit under €60,000?
- Yes. At €42,000 it leaves €18,000 of headroom, and the budget was treated as a hard ceiling — nothing above it was allowed to win.
- How does it cope with motorway miles?
- On the measures that matter for motorway miles it scores 79/100 against a field average of 64/100, with 950 km between stops and running costs of about €205/mo a month.
- Why a hybrid?
- The question fixed the fuel, so only hybrid models were eligible — Nissan X-Trail is the one that scored highest among them.
