Nissan X-Trail 2016 used market

[Jayden]

I see a lot of second hand Nissan X-Trail 2016 models on the market, priced less than 120 lakhs. Are there any common issues with these other than the gearbox problem? Hybrid motor or battery issues? And was the gearbox issue fixed on the 2016 release?

It is the poor transmission-related reputation that is killing it. Also, if the Hybrid system is not properly working the engine is rather lethargic. So there is the performance factor as well (most of the ones here are Hybrids and a large number of ICE variants are JDM variants with the 2L petrol engine which is very lethargic). Being one of the first Hybrids to hit the market, people assumed it would get a fuel economy close to the likes of a Prius. They were shockingly mistaken. So put everything together...the vehicle's desirability in the market is very low. 

As for the fix...Nissan did several tech updates on the XTrail (and some were for the gearbox). I am not entirely sure if it totally fixed the gearbox issue.
