I don't think the ASX is a viable alternative for the Xtrail but the HRV and CRV are better contenders. Subaru offers more flex here as well.

The Nissan Rogue is still selling well in the US despite big drops compared to last year. It's neck to neck with the CR-V in total sales so far this year while the HR-V and CX-5 are waaaaay down the list. The Subaru Outback and Forester also trail the Rogue with total sales of each about half that of the Rogue.

The CVT issues gave a lot of bad press to the Rogue. But, if you look at the big picture, it's not like there are Rogues broken down all over the place. Some of the Subarus have had CVT issues as well.

My wife has a 2013 Nissan Rogue. It hasn't been on any recall list and it's CVT has been fine so far (78k miles/126k km). I'll be satisfied if the CVT lasts 200k miles because by that time, it's definitely time to junk it and buy a new car.
