rauman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago After more than a week with my X Trail T33 MHEV, I have a few queries. One, I'm aware that it's a "mild hybrid" because of the little extra battery that helps the engine out. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to locate any information regarding the battery, its status, or its function among the numerous settings. 2. It's rather bothersome to see that splash screen every time I boot up.I contacted Nissan Customer Service over this matter, and a woman working in a hectic and chaotic call center in the United States (who claimed to lack technical skills) informed me that it is not removable. Very well! 3. I finally figured out how to disable the incredibly obnoxious speed warning, but it keeps resetting itself whenever I restart. Someone on this thread mentioned a "custom menu" that makes it easy to stop them; I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone could provide with this matter. 4. I am astounded by the poor fuel economy it appears to be exhibiting after only 350 miles of mostly city driving. Despite my deft footing behind the wheel, I am unable to improve my dismal "twenties" consumption. My deepest wish is that it will become better:(Having stated that, I feel obligated to mention that I enjoy the car's handling and performance :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderer Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Holy cow! Unsatisfactory fuel economy in the 20s! In my mind, these newer ones should be far more frugal. With mostly local journeys during this time of year, my 18-year-old T31 diesel auto gets around 35mpg on average. Also, it has travelled 144,000 miles.

Kiddokt Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Since my vehicle is an E-4orce, I am unable to offer any guidance regarding certain aspects of the MHEV. Sure, it's common knowledge that certain 18-year-old diesels can go around the world on a single tank of petrol, but it doesn't really address the point. All I can say is that hybrid driving does require some practice. As is often the case, urban fuel economy is poor, but this is particularly true when travelling at high speeds on highways. It doesn't seem appropriate to get 20 MPG. If you only have a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with variable compression, it should be able to handle well on its own. Going back to the dealer and asking them to check might be worth it, in my opinion. Due to data protection requirements, the startup splash screen is present. Remote applications (like Nissan Connect) would not function without the massive amounts of data generated by the T33 and stored in the cloud, as is the case with the majority of modern automobiles. So, it's not something you can eliminate. There is a legislative component to the speed warning as well. There is no way to permanently disable it, I'm afraid. If you are able to improve the MPG, please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderer Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I realise this doesn't add much, but I was simply expressing my astonishment that a vehicle of this recent era isn't significantly more fuel efficient than mine. It seems to be significantly less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rauman Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago yesterday's trip was really brief. It appears that I am presented with three consumption statistics; nonetheless, it is encouraging to note that one of them has made a small inroad into the "thirties" range! These contradictory numbers continue to disappoint me, and I still don't understand why they're there. However, I've only covered 500 miles so far, so I'm hoping things will get better from here. By the way, I discovered a YouTube video that demonstrated how to eliminate those annoying speed limit "bongs"—a feature that really enhances the driving experience.

Istairde Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago In city driving, my 2025 T33 Epower gets about 40mpg on average. The epower button is constantly in my arsenal. Regeneration during coasting and braking improves fuel economy, although it takes some getting accustomed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderer Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago A "Nissan thing" seems to be at the root of the inaccurate mpg indications. My petrol gauge is currently reading 24 mpg (or it was yesterday; however, I have been on a number of brief shopping excursions recently). My claim that my gets an average of 35mpg is based on the amount I have filled up the tank over the course of several months and the miles I have driven. Since I'm no longer employed, my annual mileage is just around 5,000 miles. I like my car because it allows me to do decent runs with my caravan on the back without having to top off as often as I would ordinarily. There must be the same wind resistance because the frontal area is as vast as a big twin-axle caravan, even though it isn't a particularly large caravan. Just keep track of your gasoline consumption and mileage; I doubt I would give any credence to the mpg indicators. That is my profession. You are likely getting more miles per gallon than you realise if you are relying solely on the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameInterest Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Street Racer gets a hammering when played away from the lights, but it's entertaining! Over the past few days, I've been consistently recording 40–50mpg while driving steadily around town on the Eco level. The fact that the figures refuse to change or reset, even though there appears to be a way to do so in the trip computer settings, is really getting under my skin. I've been informed that the figures only update automatically after refuelling, but then why is there a reset option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
