Nissan has expanded its X-TRAIL range with three new front-wheel drive e-POWER hybrid variants and the debut of the adventure-focused Rock Creek grade, broadening the appeal of the medium SUV for both value-conscious buyers and adventure seekers.
FWD versions of the ST-L, Ti and Ti-L all score hybrid powertrains, with the wheels driven exclusively by an electric motor, with the petrol engine used only to generate electricity. The 2WD variants offer combined fuel economy of 5.4-litres/100km.
They’re priced between $3,090 and $3,655 below their all-wheel drive counterparts. The move reflects a decisive shift in the medium SUV segment, where hybrid and electrified powertrains have overtaken petrol as consumers’ preferred choice.
In addition to the hybrid expansion, a distinctive new X-TRAIL Rock Creek grade has been developed for buyers seeking a more rugged interpretation of its family SUV. Offered exclusively in seven-seat configuration, it’s built on the AWD ST-L setup.
The Rock Creek features unique exterior styling and bespoke interior detailing. Outside, you’ll find a black V-motion grille, black roof rails, gloss-black door mirrors, a unique front lower bumper and exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels.
These are complemented by orange accents on the front and rear badging and the alloy wheels. A distinctive ‘three-slot’ horizontal grille treatment, inspired by the Nissan D21 ute, is exclusive to the X-TRAIL Rock Creek.
Headlining the Rock Creek colour palette is a new Baja Storm exterior paint, paired with a black roof. Inside, durable ballistic nylon-trimmed seats feature embroidered badging, orange and contrast stitching.
An orange Nissan badge accent on the steering wheel, reinforces the grade’s adventurous character. Rock Creek also brings a technology step up over its donor grade, adding a 10.8-inch head-up display and a 12.3-inch full TFT instrument cluster.
The X-TRAIL Rock Creek is offered as a seven-seat four-wheel-drive petrol model priced at $48,315. The 2WD ST-L e-POWER is priced at $45,990, rising through to the Ti-L at $54,715 – all plus on-roads.
They’re all available to order now, with customer deliveries expected from September. All 2026 X-TRAIL variants are backed by Nissan’s 10-year or 300,000km warranty (when servicing with authorised dealerships) and the same coverage in roadside assistance.
