2026 Nissan X-TRAIL priced ahead of Q1 arrival

Subtle price increase for Nissan’s facelifted medium SUV

The News

Nissan Australia has confirmed the facelifted X-TRAIL medium SUV will arrive Down Under in the first quarter of 2026 carrying an $1150 price increase on account of its new look, nicer cabin materials and upgraded technology suite.

The Key Details

  • 2026 Nissan X-TRAIL to start from $38,140 + ORCs
  • Prices up $1150 across the board
  • Update headlined by new look, nicer materials and more tech
  • First deliveries due Q1 2026
  • Tough Rock Creek variant MIA for now

The Finer Details

The updated X-TRAIL debuted in August – after being previewed by the US Rogue in October 2023 – promising a bold new look and more tech; precisely what’s due in early 2026.

All facelifted X-TRAILs will come with Nissan’s connected car services for the first time and “enhanced interior materials and finishes”, but no powertrain or chassis improvements – the standard 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (135kW) and dual-motor e-POWER hybrid (157kW) system are being carried over untouched.

Also missing from the range is the tougher Rock Creek off-road variant shown in Japan alongside the sportier NISMO that’s already been ruled out from our market – Nissan Australia didn’t rule out the former, however, which we expect to replace the similarly-themed and absent N-Trek at a later date.

The Road Ahead

The brand’s local arm has confirmed it will announce the full specification details of the updated X-TRAIL closer to its launch next year, though we’re not anticipating too many changes to any trim level beyond the connected services.

All X-TRAILs will continue to be backed by a 10-year/300,000km (service-activated) factory warranty.
