2026 Nissan X-Trail: Details revealed for the updated version of the popular mid-sizer

First announced back in November 2025, the 2026 Nissan X-Trail range has arrived in Australiasporting an updated look with revised styling, new features across the range and longer 15,000km yearly service intervals.

The price for Nissan’s mid-size SUV is also now $1150 more than before, starting at $38,140 plus on-road costs.

Styling changes for the updated X-Trail include a new front fascia with an enlarged grille, restyled bumpers, new 18- and 19-inch alloy wheels from the ST-L grade and upwards, and new ‘Deep Blue Ocean’ and ‘Everest White’ paint options.

Nissan has added more standard equipment across the X-Trail range, with the entry-level ST earning the most. The ST gains a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rain-sensing automatic wipers and a wireless phone charger, with the ST-L gaining a new alloy wheel design, 10-way electric front seats, and 3D and bonnet transparent views for its 360-degree camera.

Nissan has made no mechanical changes, with the majority of the range using a 135kW/244Nm 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a CVT automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. Combined fuel consumption is still rated at 7.4L/100km for the FWD X-Trail or 7.8L/100km for the AWD.

Also available is Nissan’s ‘e-Power’ hybrid drivetrain, which sees a 106kW/250Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine used as a generator to power a 150kW/330Nm front and 100kW/195Nm rear electric motor. Nissan claims combined power of 157kW and combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km.

Importantly, the X-Trail range’s annual service intervals are now every 15,000km and not the previous 10,000km. That is now more convenient for drivers who travel over 10,000km annually and matches the industry standard.
