2025 Nissan X-Trail price slashed by up to $3000 in Australia

Australian pricing for the 2025 Nissan X-Trail family SUV – the brand's best-selling vehicle locally – has been reduced by up to $3000 amid rising competition in its segment, and to reverse incremental price rises applied since its launch.

Effective July 1, 2025, all Nissan X-Trail variants are between $1000 and $3000 more affordable than before, with the entry-level ST front-wheel-drive five-seat variant now starting from $36,990 before on-road costs.

It is $1035 less than before, but after a series of incremental price rises since 2022, it is $240 more than the X-Trail ST cost when Nissan introduced the current-generation model in Australia almost three years ago.

At $39,990, the all-wheel-drive X-Trail ST becomes one of Australia's most affordable seven-seat SUVs – behind the front-wheel-drive Mahindra XUV700, Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace – and the cheapest all-wheel-drive seven-seater.

The most affordable seven-seat 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander – a twin-under-the-skin to the X-Trail – now starts from $43,290 after Mitsubishi deleted the third row of seats from the now five-seat-only ES AWD.

Current X-Trail ST-L and N-Trek variants are more affordable than ever, with a $3000 price cut applied – including the all-wheel-drive ST-L e-Power hybrid now starting from $47,765, less than a middle-of-the-range Toyota RAV4 GXL AWD ($48,810).

The Ti and Ti-L e-Power cost $2200 less than before – now below their 2022 launch prices – while their petrol equivalents are $1000 more affordable, narrowing the price gap between petrol and hybrid from $5000 to $3800.

There are no specification changes, but it follows a recent update for Model Year 2025, which added a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone charger to the ST-L, a walk-away lock function to all variants, and moved the Ti-L e-Power's 20-inch alloys to the options list.

"This year, as we celebrate the X-Trail's 23rd, or Ni San, anniversary in Australia, we’re able to deliver even more value, right across the range, which makes X-Trail ownership more accessible than ever," Nissan Oceania managing director Andrew Humberstone said in a media statement.

VFACTS new-car sales data reports 7209 examples of the Nissan X-Trail as sold between January and May 2025, down 10 per cent from the same time last year.

So far this year, Nissan has reported 17,136 vehicles as sold in Australia, down 17 per cent from 2024.

The Toyota RAV4 is Australia's best-selling medium SUV so far this year on 21,613 sales, followed by the Mitsubishi Outlander (10,203), Mazda CX-5 (9409), Kia Sportage (9409), Hyundai Tucson (7940), and the X-Trail.

All Nissan models sold in Australia since January 1, 2025, are eligible for a 10-year/300,000-kilometre warranty when the vehicle is serviced at a Nissan dealership annually, which the brand says has generated a "very, very strong response" from its customers.

Globally, Nissan has reported its largest net financial loss in 25 years, with restructuring plans now underway, including job cuts, factory closures and, according to a new report from Reuters, delayed supplier repayments to free up cash.
