Nissan presents a new, more robust and connected generation of the X‑Trail, its family crossover with an adventurous DNA.
Twenty-five years after its launch, the Nissan X‑Trail remains a benchmark in Europe for electrified SUVs. The 2026 version, available for order starting in April and set for delivery in spring, arrives with a more assertive design, a refined cabin, and significantly enhanced technology, while retaining its signature versatility.
On the exterior, the front end gains a wider and cleaner V-Motion grille, glossy black wheel arches, and 19-inch diamond-cut wheels. The new LED taillights and redesigned bumpers provide a more robust presence. Two new colors – Sukumo Blue and Miho Sand – enhance the offering, including bi-tone options.
Inside, the materials evolve towards greater warmth: quilted leather upholstery (Tekna) or TEP (N-Connecta), brown wood inserts, and high-end finishes. From the N-Connecta version, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, and a 12.3-inch central display come standard. The sliding 40/20/40 bench seat and the Bose 10-speaker audio system (on Tekna) enhance family comfort.
The X-Trail goes connected
The big news lies in connectivity. For the first time, the NissanConnect system integrates Google: voice commands “Hey Google,” access to the Play Store, remote updates, and real-time weather. Meanwhile, the new Around View Monitor 3D (AVM) with eight cameras offers a high-definition bird’s-eye view, an “invisible hood” for rough terrain, and a specific view for T-intersections. These aids, combined with improved ProPILOT Assist (better sign reading, more stable lane keeping), make maneuvering and long journeys more relaxed.
Under the hood, the X‑Trail retains the e‑POWER architecture, a series hybrid praised by 285,000 European customers. Without ever needing to recharge, it provides a 100% electric and silent driving experience. The electric all-wheel drive e‑4ORCE remains available as an option for optimal traction.
