Comfort and Design: 2014 Nissan X-Trail Interior

One of the first things you’ll notice about the 2014 Nissan X-Trail is its sleek and smooth interior and exterior design. If a car could be described as curvy, then this car would earn the right to use that adjective. It would definitely have a clear chance at winning a beauty contest. 

If you think looks are all the Nissan X-Trail serves, wait until you get a feel of its interior. The plush materials give it a classy feel while the center console blends seamlessly with the rest of the dashboard to complete its smooth interior design. The seats are as comfortable as they look and there’s plenty of headroom and legroom. 

But the back seats can be quite a squeeze for taller passengers, especially the middle rear seat.

While you can fold the back seats for extra luggage space, you won’t need to unless you’re carrying every kind of foodstuff on your trip back from the village. The load volume is impressive as is.
