Updated Nissan X-TRAIL range detailed
Japanese brand celebrates mid-size SUV milestone with new variant to arrive in DecemberA refreshed MY22 Nissan X-TRAIL line-up has been announced ahead of its arrival in showrooms before year’s end, when Nissan will celebrate 20 years of the popular mid-size SUV in Australia.
The updated Nissan X-TRAIL range will be the last hurrah for the third-generation model before it’s replaced in 2022 by the redesigned X-TRAIL, which will be one of four all-new Nissan models released Down Under next year.
MY22 Nissan X-TRAIL vehicles are expected to arrive in local dealerships December, including a new ST+ grade designed to offer more choice for SUV buyers.
Pricing for the Toyota RAV4-rivalling mid-size SUV continues to open at $30,665 plus on-road costs for the manual-only ST varaint, and stretches to $46,115 plus ORCs for the range-topping Ti 4x4.
Entry-level X-TRAILs continue with a 106kW/200Nm naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine mated to either a CVT automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox, in which guise combined fuel consumption remains 8.2L/100km.
Similarly, a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine continues to power the remainder of the X-TRAIL range and it still offers the same 126kW of power, but for MY22 there’s a slight increase in peak torque, from 226Nm to 233Nm (+7Nm).
Matched exclusively with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT auto, the retuned 2.5-litre engine is available in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
Front-drive variants now use slightly less fuel at 7.9L/100km, while 4x4 vehicles continue to offer 2WD, AUTO and LOCK drivetrain modes.
ST-L and Ti grades now come with front parking sensors as standard, bringing price increases of $150 for both variants.
Meanwhile, a new ST+ variant slots in between the ST and ST-L, priced from $34,140 plus ORCs.
Based on the base ST and available with both FWD and 4WD, the ST+ adds tech such as a 360-degree camera with moving object detection, front and rear parking sensors and navigation.
Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson says celebrating 20 years of X-TRAIL in Australia is a proud moment.
“That’s two decades of fun and adventure with more than 272,000 examples of the X-TRAIL welcomed into families right across the country,” he said.
“And what better way to celebrate than with the launch of an update, with an all-new grade option that delivers more of what our customers know and love about their X-TRAIL.”
