Which engine type is better for a Nissan X-Trail?

I'm considering buying a Nissan X-Trail but I'm torn between the diesel and petrol engine. Which one would you recommend and why?

I have owned both a diesel and petrol Nissan X-Trail and I would recommend the diesel engine hands down. It gives better fuel efficiency and is more suitable for long drives.

In my experience, the petrol engine is better for city driving and shorter trips. It provides a smoother ride and is easier to maintain compared to diesel engines.

I have heard that the diesel engine is better for towing and hauling heavy loads. So if you plan on using your Nissan X-Trail for camping or off-roading adventures, go with the diesel engine.
