Nissan Australia has slashed the price of its popular 2025 Nissan X-TRAIL with its advanced e-Power hybrid attracting discounts of up to $3000.
The price cuts on its best-selling model are permanent, says Nissan, and coincide with the nameplate’s 23rd birthday – an important age for the brand as in Japanese the number two is ‘Ni’, while three is ‘san’.
While the entry front-wheel-drive ST Nissan X-TRAIL now starts at just $36,990 before on-road costs the most affordable X-TRAIL ST-L e-Power now costs $47,765 (plus ORCs) – $3000 less than before.

Upgrade to the mid-spec Ti e-Power and the price falls by $2200 to $53,265, while the flagship electrified X-TRAIL Ti-L e-Power is priced from $57,065 (-$2200), with both the Ti- and Ti-L e-POWER now cheaper to buy than when they were back at launch in 2022.
Post discounts, Nissan has narrowed the price premium between the regular petrol powertrains and more efficient e-Power hybrids from $5000 to $3800.
Giving it the edge over the soon-to-be-replaced Toyota RAV4, the discounts see cars like the X-TRAIL ST-L e-Power priced $1045 under its equivalent RAV4 GXL AWD ($48,810).
It also sets the X-Trail up for the fight against a flurry of mid-size hybrid and PHEV incoming comeptiton incuding the next RAV4, the upgrades Haval H6 and the MG HS Hybrid and Super Hybrid
Nissan Australia says the lower pricing has not affected the standard specification for the X-TRAIL, with the ST-L e-POWER keeping its recently introduced larger 12.3-inch infotainment, wireless charger and walk-away auto-lock feature.
Other takeaways from the pricing revisions include the non-hybrid $39,990 X-TRAIL ST that becomes one of Australia’s most affordable seven-seater, and the country’s cheapest three-row SUV with all-wheel drive, undercutting the closely-related Mitsubishi Outlander ($43,290).
“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,” said Nissan Oceania boss Andrew Humberside.
The X-TRAIL remains Nissan Australia’s best-selling nameplate, but in the first six months of 2025 sales are down 9.5 per cent to 8553 compared to the same period in 2024.
Overall, Nissan sales are down 17.3 per cent in the same period to 20,604
Those figures are a long way off the strongest-selling Toyota RAV4 (24,034), while the Mazda CX-5 (11,991) and Mitsubishi Outlander (11,399) fill out the top three spots in the mid-size SUV sales chart.
Since January 1, 2025, all Nissans sold in Australia are covered by a 10-year/300,000km warranty – but only if you maintain your car using the brand’s official dealer network.
