| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.7 Diesel | 1.6 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 (Suzuki Vitara) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.
