Nissan X-Trail 2025 prices reduced to help catch Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5

---

Nissan has introduced permanent price cuts for the MY25 X-Trail as it bids to close the sales gap to several midsize SUV rivals including the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, and its twin the Mitsubishi Outlander.

The move sees all X-Trail variants become more affordable when comparing their outgoing manufacturer’s retail list price (MRLP) to new pricing, though the scale of the discount depends on the grade.

Some versions become even cheaper than they were during Nissan’s EOFY promotion, which expired at midnight last night, while other X-Trail trims rise slightly in real terms compared to those discounts.

Nissan Oceania general manager of corporate communications Emily Fadeyev told Chasing Cars that Nissan was aiming to make the X-Trail easier to buy into for more Australian customers.

“(The new X-Trail pricing) offers greater value for customers and makes it easier to buy into a trusted and reliable brand,” Fadeyev said.

Up until 30 June, Nissan was offering between $2000 and $3000 cashback, and promotional 1.9 percent finance rates, across the X-Trail range with e-Power hybrid models also attracting an additional $1000 discount for existing Nissan owners and their family members.

That campaign is now over but in its place comes a simpler pricing structure with various levels of reduced pricing locked in. New discounts range between $1035 and $3000.

Buyers of the X-Trail ST-L, N-Trek and Ti-L models with petrol engines get the best outcome with even steeper discounting than the end of financial year sale.

On the other hand, some other X-Trail trims (base ST petrol, and Ti and Ti-L e-Power hybrids) are more expensive like-for-like than the discounts seen last month, even if they now carry lower list pricing.

The X-Trail range in Australia spans five trim grades (ST, ST-L, N-Trek, Ti-, Ti-L) with buyers able to choose between a 135kW 2.5-litre non-hybrid, non-turbo petrol ‘four, or a 157kW 1.5-litre turbo three-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid badged e-Power.

Australians can opt for front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) in the petrol engine but for the local market, the e-Power hybrid is AWD-only despite a circa-10 percent more efficient e-Power being sold in other right-hand drive markets like the United Kingdom.

Retaining the choice of a petrol engine means the X-Trail undercuts the entry price of the hybrid-only Toyota RAV4 by a considerable $5270, though the cheapest X-Trail hybrid is relevantly $5505 more expensive than the most affordable petrol-electric, front-drive RAV4.

Compared to an AWD RAV4 hybrid the X-Trail is around $2500 dearer.

Australian-delivered X-Trails are sourced from a Japanese factory in Fukuoka, Japan, which Chasing Cars understands has not yet been retooled to build a facelift to the X-Trail first seen on the American-market Rogue in late 2023.

However, Australia might score the facelifted X-Trail in future.

But rumours out of the United States that Nissan in that market will ditch the current-gen X-Trail in favour of a rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV are unlikely to be relevant to Australian customers.

“(The X-Trail e-Power) has been very well received by customers…it does not feel like anything else on the market. There is currently no plan for the PHEV,” Fadeyev told Chasing Cars.

While a facelift isn’t on the immediate horizon, and a PHEV is not in the plan at all, the permanent reduced pricing could help the X-Trail claw market share from key rivals. Year to date, the Nissan has been outsold locally by the Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, and Hyundai Tucson.

X-Trail sales up to the end of May are down 10 per cent year to date, with overall Nissan Australia sales declining 17 percent.

“On the back of the end of financial year offer, we are now able to deliver this permanent (pricing) offer with no specification deletion,” said Fadeyev.

Final June 2025 sales numbers are still incoming, but sources suggest X-Trail sales were strong as a result of the aggressive end of financial year campaign.
