The new Nissan X-Trail has claimed Australia’s best medium SUV on the first day of the Drive Car of the Year awards.
The vehicle’s latest additions impressed the panel of judges who rigorously tested the vehicle at their facility in central NSW.
The future mobility testing and research centre had the X-Trail and other candidates put through their paces for Drive’s 11-person editorial team.

“The Nissan X-Trail is a thoroughly modern medium SUV with plenty of space for families inside,” the judges said.
“A family car that moves with the times, the new Nissan X-Trail delivers a comprehensive package for today’s buyer.”
Nissan Australia Managing Director Adam Paterson was pleased the X-Trail could win in such a competitive category.
“The medium SUV segment is one of Australia’s biggest and most important new-car categories, which makes this award for the all-new X-Trail even more exciting,” he said.
“We were confident the X-Trail would be the prefect fit for so many Australians, and to have it claim such a prestigious award is a true honour.”
