Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Nissan X-Trail
- Large size, clean design and exclusivity gives it great road presence.
- Impressive interior with soft-touch leather elements and high quality plastics.
- Spacious second row seats and comfortable ride make it a good option for chauffeur-driven owners.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch with its red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

Nissan X-Trail
- Missing features such as leather upholstery, powered seats, front seat ventilation and ADAS.
- Cramped third row is best used for kids/pets. There are better 6/7-seaters available for similar or less money.
- No hybrid, diesel or AWD option.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
