Nissan X-Trail 2017 vs Porsche Macan 2018
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 2.0 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 (Porsche Macan) 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." | |||

Performance | |||
| Power: | 130 HP | 252 HP | |
| Torque: | 320 NM | 370 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 11.4 seconds | 6.7 seconds | |
|
Porsche Macan is a more dynamic driving. Nissan X-Trail engine produces 122 HP less power than Porsche Macan, whereas torque is 50 NM less than Porsche Macan. Due to the lower power, Nissan X-Trail reaches 100 km/h speed 4.7 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 5.1 | 7.4 | |
|
The Nissan X-Trail is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Nissan X-Trail consumes 2.3 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Porsche Macan, which means that by driving the Nissan X-Trail over 15,000 km in a year you can save 345 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 60 litres | 65 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1170 km in combined cycle | 870 km in combined cycle | |
| 1270 km on highway | 980 km on highway | ||
| Nissan X-Trail gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 210 mm (8.3 inches) | 300 mm (11.8 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Porsche Macan can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 14 years | 11 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 7 other car models, including Nissan Qashqai, Renault Scenic, Renault Megane | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A6, Audi A7 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Nissan X-Trail might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Nissan X-Trail engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
