Adventure awaits in Nissan X-Trail

The 2026 updated model of the Nissan X-Trail delivers a sturdier, more prominent exterior identity while preserving the model’s signature rugged capability. A redesigned front fascia features a wider, cleaner V-Motion grille that gives the X–Trail greater visual presence and a more modern expression of Nissan’s design DNA.

The 19-inch diamond cut alloy wheels with new glossy black lower bumpers and wheel arches, side sills and black side mirrors strengthen its character. The refreshed front grille and side vents flanked by recontoured lower bumpers and increased bodycolour coverage at the rear, deliver a more modern look.

New full rear LED lamps sharpen the signature lighting, and a new exterior colour, Caspian blue adds a touch of class.
The X–Trail’s interior cabin elevates comfort and quality while staying true to its durable, adventurous nature. New materials bring warmth and craftsmanship, including black synthetic leather upholstery and a refined brown wood console trim. Subtle updates across the cabin enhance harmony and convenience without compromising the car’s rugged personality.

Across the range, comfort-enhancing features include heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, three zone air conditioning, 12.3-inch infotainment screen and enhanced trims. A sliding 40/20/40 second row adds flexible space for passengers or larger gear, while optional equipment such as a BOSE 10 speaker premium audio system, heated windscreen and towing hitch receiver increase practicality for adventurous lifestyles.

The X-Trail is available in South Africa, focusing on premium design, safety, and versatility. It is powered by a 2.5l petrol engine producing 135kW of power and 244Nm of torque. It is available in the Visia, Acenta, and Acenta Plus trim levels in 5 and 7-seater configurations.
