Honda CR-V 1997: Car has Honda`s real-time four-wheel drive system, which sends torque to the front wheels under normal conditions. Multi-plate clutch transfers torque to rear axle when wheel slip is detected (pressure is applied to clutch by dual pump system). To allow ABS to work smoothly, the clutch is also disengaged during braking. Nissan X-Trail 2001: It has selectable four-wheel drive with Auto, 2WD and Lock modes. In Auto mode, it has front-wheel drive under normal conditions, the rear axle engages when the front wheels start to slip, and power is distributed variably up to 50:50 front to rear. In 2WD mode, the transfer clutch is permanently unlocked, but the electronic control unit can engage the rear wheels occasionally, for example during hard acceleration. In Lock mode, the transfer clutch is permanently locked, providing a constant 50:50 power distribution. When vehicle speed increases above 30 km/h (20 mph), it switches to Auto mode, but when speed decreases, it switches back to Lock mode. The system also switches to 2WD mode in the event of overheating. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 480'000 km | 280'000 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 Honda CR-V engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 7 years | 12 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Nissan Primera, Nissan Serena, Nissan Sentra | |
| 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. | |||

| Length: | 4.53 m | 4.51 m | |
| Width: | 1.75 m | 1.76 m | |
| Height: | 1.68 m | 1.68 m | |
| Both cars are similar in size. Honda CR-V is 2 cm longer than the Nissan X-Trail, 1 cm narrower the height of the cars does not differ significantly. | |||

Nissan X-Trail has more luggage space. Despite its longer length, Honda CR-V has 35 litres less trunk space than the Nissan X-Trail. This could mean that the Honda CR-V uses more space in the cabin, so the driver and passengers could be more spacious and comfortable. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Nissan X-Trail (by 1171 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 10.6 meters | 11 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Honda CR-V is 0.4 metres less than that of the Nissan X-Trail, which means Honda CR-V can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
