New 2025/2026 Nissan X-Trail Restyling: Hybrid SUV e-POWER with 4×2/4×4 Options

Updated design, advanced technology, and the powerful e-POWER hybrid system position the X-Trail to compete in the crowded SUV market.

Refreshed Exterior and Interior Design

The Nissan X-Trail 2025/2026 debuts a sleek restyling, featuring a new grille with horizontal slats, updated LED front and rear indicators, and a glossy black lower bumper with satin silver accents. Alloy wheels grow to 19 inches, complementing the refreshed silhouette. Inside, the dashboard now has a black upper section, Nappa leather options in a softer brown, updated fabric trims, and USB-C ports, enhancing both style and functionality.

Advanced Safety and Technology

One of the highlights is the Intelligent 3D Monitor with ‘transparent hood’ function, which displays images of the road hidden by the bonnet. This innovative system enhances visibility and safety during maneuvers, positioning the X-Trail as a tech-forward SUV in its segment.

e-POWER Hybrid System

The X-Trail maintains its e-POWER hybrid drivetrain, where the 144 hp gasoline engine acts solely as a generator, and an electric motor produces 204 hp for front-wheel drive. The 4×4 e-4ORCE variant adds a 100 kW (136 hp) rear motor, delivering zero-emission power to the rear axle and a fully electrified all-wheel-drive experience.

Market Position and Competitiveness

Facing strong rivals like the Toyota RAV4, Citroën C5 Aircross, Opel Grandland, Peugeot 5008, Subaru Forester, and BYD SEAL U, the restyled X-Trail strengthens its appeal with a combination of updated design, modern features, and the efficient e-POWER system. Its competitive pricing further positions it as a serious contender in the global SUV market.

Pricing and Availability

The 2025/2026 Nissan X-Trail has already launched internationally. In Japan, prices range from approximately €22,250 for the base model to €28,600 for the top-of-the-line version, making it an attractive choice for customers seeking a high-tech, hybrid SUV at a reasonable price.
