The Nissan X-Trail recently made a comeback with a redesigned look aiming to give a more premium feel. A compact SUV, the X-Trail became known as a practical car for the whole family.

On the other hand, the Ford Everest has become known for its rugged appeal, yet still maintaining a premium charm. Ford recently gave the Everest some updates to keep up with the sporty-esque SUV trend.

Gone is the old boxy shape that first distinguished the model and was swapped with a sleeker shape that gives the vehicle a premium look. The original grille was replaced with a new, wider V-shaped grille that as well as daytime running lamps that give the X-Trail a sporty and sharp edge.

Nissan also added a fin-type antenna and, what is probably the highlight of the vehicle — a sunroof.

The latest Ford Everest received some style updates, albeit minor. Changes were made primarily to the grille and front bumper. Ford also added some extra features for high-end variants such as a moonroof for the 4x4 variant, and HID headlamps with auto-leveling and LED daytime running lights for the Everest Titanium.

The entry-level variant for the Everest is already at a relatively high price range, priced at almost P2 million — this is certainly not a budget SUV.

Most SUV owners typically make the jump from compact SUVs to mid-size SUVs when they want to upgrade. The X-Trail is an ideal car for families who want a compact city SUV and prefer maximized space. It’s also a rather affordable SUV in the segment considering its specs, however, it does lack premium features and that typical muscular SUV image.
