Nissan has slashed prices across its X-Trail lineup by up to $3000 from today (July 1, 2025).
The Japanese auto brand says the move aims to celebrate the X-Trail nameplate’s 23rd year on the Australian market.
Nissan has applied the smallest discounts to the flagship petrol variants, the all-wheel drive Ti and Ti-L, which have seen their manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRPs) cut by $1000.
The largest price cuts have been made to the ST-L e-Power, as well as all front-wheel drive petrol variants bar the entry-level ST.

Nissan notes the listed price cuts have been made to MSRPs and doesn’t include statutory on-road (drive-away) costs, which continue to vary depending on the state and territory.
Petrol-powered X-Trails continue to be offered with either five seats or seven seats, depending on the variant. These are powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which has been replaced in some overseas markets by a turbo-petrol 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine.
e-Power variants continue to be offered exclusively with a five-seat layout and all-wheel drive in Australia, and remain powered by a turbo-petrol 1.5-litre three-cylinder – however, in these hybrid variants it serves as a generator and doesn’t power the wheels directly.
The entire X-Trail range is backed by Nissan Australia’s 10-year, 300,000km warranty, though you only get the full coverage if you continue to take your vehicle to a Nissan dealership for scheduled servicing. Otherwise, it’s a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
The first (T30) generation of X-Trail arrived in Australia in October 2001, belatedly giving Nissan a rival to the increasingly popular Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, which had been on sale here since 1997 and 1994, respectively.
It was related mechanically to the Pulsar sedan, but featured a boxy body and a part-time four-wheel drive system.
The second (T31) generation arrived in 2007, bringing a new platform, a more sophisticated four-wheel drive system and, after a delay, front-wheel drive and diesel variants. However, its styling was evolutionary.
2014 brought the third (T32) generation, with completely different styling and larger dimensions. This stuck around until late in 2022, when the current T33 generation belatedly arrived; its North American Rogue cousin had been around since 2020.

While we missed out on the hybrid version of the T32 X-Trail, Australians finally received access to an electrified powertrain option in the form of the e-Power in 2023.
X-Trail sales in Australia reached their zenith in 2018, when 21,192 examples of the mid-size SUV were delivered. While sales continued to drop off for the rest of the third-generation model’s run, they’ve been climbing since the launch of the current model.
Last year, Nissan delivered 17,494 examples, up 36 per cent on the previous year. That saw the X-Trail outsell every model in its segment apart from the RAV4 (58,718), Mazda CX-5 (22,835), Kia Sportage (22,210), Hyundai Tucson (19,061), and its Mitsubishi Outlander twin-under-the-skin (27,613).
However, in the first five months of this year, X-Trail sales have declined by 10 per cent. That’s in contrast with its Japanese and Korean rivals, which have posted modest year-over-year increases (RAV4, CX-5) or similar declines (Outlander, Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V).
The real growth machines in this segment come from Chinese brands, with the MG HS up by 24.9 per cent year-to-date and the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro soaring by 66.4 per cent.
