  • Entry-level 2.0-litre engine only offered in ST trim
  • Front and four-wheel drive available throughout range
  • First deliveries expected to arrive in December

The Nissan X-Trail has undergone a minor update ahead of its 2022 run, with the next-generation model set to launch later next year.

After an earlier update at the start of 2021, the diesel-powered TS has now been dropped from the line-up, replaced in the middle section of the range by the ST+, offering a stepping stone between the entry-level ST and the ST-L/Ti.

With Nissan offering its 2.5-litre petrol engine as standard, only the base ST can be purchased as a manual with a smaller 2.0-litre engine, priced well below the more powerful variants.
