wat do u mean the 2.5 came in the GT? the GT came with the SR20VET which is a Turbochargd Variable Valve Timing n Lift 2L rated at 280bhp...i suppose it isnt fair to compare the 2.5 X-Trail to a 2L CRV but it is the 2.5 X-Trail that is sold in most parts of the world...ive never driven a 2L X-Trail to be honest so i cant judge it...
