Family SUV gets added tech and features: 2025 Nissan X-Trail comes in for minor upgrade to tackle Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Mitsubishi Outlander

Nissan has upgraded its X-Trail range for 2025, delivering new standard features across the lineup for a small $500 range-wide price increase.

Changes are generally confined to technology and convenience upgrades, including approach/walk-away unlock/lock function which is now standard across the range.

A five-seat configuration is available in every trim with FWD or 4WD, while seven seats remain limited to the ST, ST-L and N-Trek. An e-Power hybrid is available on ST-L, Ti and flagship Ti-L variants.

The range kicks off as before with the X-Trail ST ($37,750, before on-road costs). The price rise makes it about $1000 dearer than the entry-level Mazda CX-5 2WD Maxx ($36,590).

It comes standard with an 8.0-inch multimedia display, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED head and tail lights, a six-speaker sound system and a reversing camera.

No changes have been made to the ST’s 135kW/245Nm 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which is mated to an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) capable of driving either two or four wheels.

The biggest changes can be found on the ST-L variant, where a 12.3-inch multimedia display with satellite navigation is now standard. It is also compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as featuring a wireless charging pad. Prices start at $44,190 (before on-road costs).

Privacy glass remains standard on the ST-L, along with 18-inch alloys, heated front seats, synthetic leather trim, front parking sensors, a tyre pressure monitoring function, sliding rear seats and dual-zone climate control.

From here up, Nissan offers a 157kW/250Nm e-Power hybrid. Two electric motors drive the wheels and a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine generates power for the battery. Prices starting at $55,190 (before on-road costs).

The Ti gains a hands free tailgate and wireless Android Auto connectivity for 2025. It also gets 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, genuine leather trim, ambient lighting, rain-sensing wipers and a 10.8-inch head-up display. Prices start at $50,990 for the AWD petrol.

Nissan’s more adventure-focused N-Trek Comes with unique off-road packaging as standard, which includes black roof rails, front underbody protection, waterproof seats, a gun metallic rear bumper with dark chrome finishing and unique 18-inch alloy wheels.

For 2025 it gains a wireless charging pad and wireless Android Auto connectivity. It starts at $47,790 (before on-road costs) for the two-wheel drive variation, but is also offered with a seven-seat four-wheel drive powertrain.

The flagship Ti-L scores everything above – save for the N-Trek’s unique off-road features — in addition to a 10-speaker Bose sound system, quilted Nappa leather trim, remote engine start, a rear sunshade, a heated steering wheel and memory seats. For 2025 it gains wireless Android Auto.

Prices for the Ti-L start at $53,990 for the four-wheel drive petrol variant. It is only available in five-seat configuration.

Standard safety features offered across the X-trail range are adaptive cruise control, predictive collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, driver attention alert and speed sign recognition.

The X-Trail matches its key competitors – the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 – with a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Customers can opt in for metallic paint across the entire range for an additional $750, or, exclusive to the 2WD N-Trek, 4WD Ti, Ti-L and N-Trek, is the option of two-tone paint and a black roof for $1250.

There’s also an option to size-up to 20-inch alloy wheels for the top-spec Ti-L e-Power for $800.

Nissan Australia is yet to announce a facelift for the current-generation X-trail, which has already received a cosmetic upgrade in the North American market, where it is known as the Rogue.

The Nissan X-Trail remains one of the most popular medium SUVs in Australia, selling 11,484 vehicles to August this year, an increase of 57 per cent on last year. It continues to gain on the Mazda CX-5, which is the second-highest selling vehicle in the segment, having found 15,878 homes this year to date.

Both models are still considerably behind the Toyota RAV4, though, which dominates the medium SUV segment with 38,050 sales this year. It was Australia's top-selling vehicle in August, with Toyota pushing hard on plans for the RAV4 to usurp the Ford Ranger as Australia's top-selling vehicle.
