Porsche Macan 2018 vs Nissan X-Trail 2017
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Petrol | 1.6 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Porsche Macan) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Nissan X-Trail) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

Performance | |||
| Power: | 252 HP | 130 HP | |
| Torque: | 370 NM | 320 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 6.7 seconds | 11.4 seconds | |
|

Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.4 | 5.1 | |
|
The Nissan X-Trail is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Porsche Macan consumes 2.3 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Nissan X-Trail, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Porsche Macan could require 345 litres more fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 65 litres | 60 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 870 km in combined cycle | 1170 km in combined cycle | |
| 980 km on highway | 1270 km on highway | ||
| Nissan X-Trail gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 300 mm (11.8 inches) | 210 mm (8.3 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: | 11 years | 14 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A6, Audi A7 | Installed on at least 7 other car models, including Nissan Qashqai, Renault Scenic, Renault Megane | |
| 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: | no | yes | |
| 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. | |||
