New Like most SUVs...
...the X-Trail has fairly crappy fuel economy, unless you go for the diesel version, in which case you're trading off poke for fuel economy.

Quoted figures for the 3L petrol are 17-31MPG, and I bet you do significantly worse in the real world.

New The government sticker put it at 9.8L/100km.
This was quite a bit better than all other vehicles of that style. A bit of googling shows me that's about 31mpg. I know that's an optimistic figure. A bit back-of-the envelope scratching couple with my memory and I think we're probably getting around 12L/100km.

The choice of a car like the X-Trail was because of the seating position. She has a lower back injury that isn't operable and needs the type of seating in a car that something like the X-Trail provides.

Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
