The Nissan X-Trail 1.6 dCi is known for its strong fuel efficiency among mid-size SUVs. Official combined cycle figures (NEDC) typically range from 53.3 to 57.8 mpg (UK), depending on the specific trim and drive system[1]. In real-world conditions, reported average consumption is about 48.4 mpg, with some achieving figures as high as 53.3 mpg during motorway-focused driving[1][2].
Several independent tests provide additional context:
- A South African review reported an open-road consumption of 5.4 liters per 100 km (approximately 52.3 mpg UK) during freeway driving, but noted urban driving figures were closer to 7.5 l/100 km (about 37.7 mpg UK)[3].
- Combined cycle figures vary slightly by source, but 57.6 mpg (UK) is commonly listed for the manual model under laboratory test conditions[4].
- In the UK, real-life testing returned 53 mpg on the motorway, 56 mpg on A/B roads, and 46.8 mpg overall across mixed routes[5].
- Fuel tank capacity is 60 liters, which translates to a practical range of 500–700+ miles depending on driving style and conditions[6].
- Reported weekly averages in urban environments include 6.5 l/100 km (about 43.5 mpg UK)[7], and urban/extra-urban lab tests indicate between 5.7–5.8 l/100 km (urban) and 4.5–4.6 l/100 km (extra-urban)[8].
In summary, the Nissan X-Trail 1.6 dCi typically delivers between 45–55 mpg (UK) or 5.0–6.5 l/100 km in varied driving, with best results seen on open roads and real-world averages closely matching official figures in favorable conditions.
