The range includes grades with options, including five trim levels, the choice between five and seven seats (ST, ST-L and N-Trek), 2WD or 4WD, and the option of the innovative e-POWER powertrain (ST-L, Ti and Ti-L).

“The X-Trail is one of Australia’s most flexible – and, with over 300,000 sold to date in Australia – most popular family-focused SUVs,” said Nissan Australia’s marketing director Sriram Padmanabhan.

“These MY25 updates aim to further improve the popular X-Trail formula, with important technology and convenience upgrades that our customers will notice and enjoy every time they take the wheel,” he said.

It starts with the X-Trail ST, with a comprehensive equipment list now further bolstered by an approach unlock and walkaway lock function.

The biggest change lies in the ST-L, where customers also now benefit from an approach unlock and walkaway lock function, but also receive a cabin technology upgrade through the inclusion of a 12.3in central touchscreen with standard navigation, a wireless charging pad, and the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Nissan N-Trek customers also now receive the approach unlock and walkaway lock function, wireless device charging and wireless Android Auto, while Ti customers benefit from the approach unlock and walkaway lock function, wireless Android Auto and a hands-free automatic tailgate.

Finally, flagship Ti-L customers benefit from wireless Android Auto and the approach unlock and walkaway lock function. The ST, ST-L and N-Trek are offered with five (2WD) or seven (4WD) seats, while the five-seat ST-L delivers further flexibility through the option of a 2.5-litre petrol engine, or Nissan’s innovative e-POWER with e-4ORCE technology, which pairs a turbocharged 1.5-litre, three-cylinder variable compression petrol engine with twin electric motors (one at each axle) to deliver driving excitement. The Ti and Ti-L are both exclusively five-seat with 4WD configurations, and both offer the option of e-POWER with e-4ORCE technology.

Prices start from $38,990 drive away for the ST to $59,990 drive away for the Ti-L.
