The Nissan X-Trail will enter 2025 with minor equipment enhancements at no additional cost, while the flagship model will see a modest price reduction.
Since the fourth-generation X-Trail launched in Australia in 2022, Nissan has made minimal changes, with prices remaining largely stable apart from a $500 increase in July 2024.
For 2025, the entry-level Nissan X-Trail ST now includes approach unlocking and walkaway locking as its new feature.
Higher-spec X-Trail ST variants receive more extensive upgrades. They feature a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless smartphone mirroring and charging, and satellite navigation. Previously, these features were exclusive to the N-Trek with its rugged design and the Ti variant, which now also gains a hands-free power tailgate from the top-tier Ti-L.
The flagship X-Trail Ti-L benefits only from enhanced proximity entry and wireless Android Auto, but the e-Power version's price has been reduced by $800.
These equipment upgrades come as Nissan aims to climb the sales charts in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment, which is dominated by the Toyota RAV4 and includes rivals such as the Mitsubishi Outlander, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, and Hyundai Tucson.
We believe the 2025 X-Trail will be in good supply for the foreseeable future.
