Nissan X-Trail 2003 vs Mitsubishi Outlander 2003
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.2 Diesel | 2.4 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Nissan X-Trail) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Mitsubishi Outlander) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 136 HP | 160 HP | |
| Torque: | 314 NM | 213 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 11.5 seconds | 11.2 seconds | |
|
Mitsubishi Outlander is a more dynamic driving. Nissan X-Trail engine produces 24 HP less power than Mitsubishi Outlander, but torque is 101 NM more than Mitsubishi Outlander. Due to the lower power, Nissan X-Trail reaches 100 km/h speed 0.3 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.2 | 10.1 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 8.0 l/100km | 10.8 l/100km | |
|
The Nissan X-Trail is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Nissan X-Trail consumes 2.9 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which means that by driving the Nissan X-Trail over 15,000 km in a year you can save 435 litres of fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Nissan X-Trail consumes 2.8 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Mitsubishi Outlander. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 440'000 km | 480'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Mitsubishi Outlander engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 6 years | 23 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Nissan Almera, Nissan Primera, Nissan Almera Tino | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Mitsubishi Galant, Mitsubishi Grandis, Mitsubishi Eclipse | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mitsubishi Outlander might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.51 m | 4.54 m | |
| Width: | 1.76 m | 1.75 m | |
