2025 Nissan X-Trail: Price cuts for popular mid-size SUV
Nissan has slashed prices across its X-Trail lineup by up to $3000 from today (July 1, 2025).
The Japanese auto brand says the move aims to celebrate the X-Trail nameplate's 23rd year on the Australian market.
Nissan has applied the smallest discounts to the flagship petrol variants, the all-wheel drive Ti and Ti-L, which have seen their manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRPs) cut by $1000.
The largest price cuts have been made to the ST-L e-Power, as well as all front-wheel drive petrol variants bar the entry-level ST.

Nissan notes the listed price cuts have been made to MSRPs and doesn't include statutory on-road (drive-away) costs, which continue to vary depending on the state and territory.
Petrol-powered X-Trails continue to be offered with either five seats or seven seats, depending on the variant. These are powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which has been replaced in some overseas markets by a turbo-petrol 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine.
e-Power variants continue to be offered exclusively with a five-seat layout and all-wheel drive in Australia, and remain powered by a turbo-petrol 1.5-litre three-cylinder – however, in these hybrid variants it serves as a generator and doesn't power the wheels directly.
The entire X-Trail range is backed by Nissan Australia's 10-year, 300,000km warranty, though you only get the full coverage if you continue to take your vehicle to a Nissan dealership for scheduled servicing. Otherwise, it's a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
The first (T30) generation of X-Trail arrived in Australia in October 2001, belatedly giving Nissan a rival to the increasingly popular Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, which had been on sale here since 1997 and 1994, respectively.
It was related mechanically to the Pulsar sedan, but featured a boxy body and a part-time four-wheel drive system.
The second (T31) generation arrived in 2007, bringing a new platform, a more sophisticated four-wheel drive system and, after a delay, front-wheel drive and diesel variants. However, its styling was evolutionary.
2014 brought the third (T32) generation, with completely different styling and larger dimensions. This stuck around until late in 2022, when the current T33 generation belatedly arrived; its North American Rogue cousin had been around since 2020.

While we missed out on the hybrid version of the T32 X-Trail, Australians finally received access to an electrified powertrain option in the form of the e-Power in 2023.
X-Trail sales in Australia reached their zenith in 2018, when 21,192 examples of the mid-size SUV were delivered. While sales continued to drop off for the rest of the third-generation model's run, they've been climbing since the launch of the current model.
Last year, Nissan delivered 17,494 examples, up 36 per cent on the previous year. That saw the X-Trail outsell every model in its segment apart from the RAV4 (58,718), Mazda CX-5 (22,835), Kia Sportage (22,210), Hyundai Tucson (19,061), and its Mitsubishi Outlander twin-under-the-skin (27,613).
However, in the first five months of this year, X-Trail sales have declined by 10 per cent. That's in contrast with its Japanese and Korean rivals, which have posted modest year-over-year increases (RAV4, CX-5) or similar declines (Outlander, Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V).
The real growth machines in this segment come from Chinese brands, with the MG HS up by 24.9 per cent year-to-date and the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro soaring by 66.4 per cent.

Insane time it takes to build a house in 2025
Construction time for an average home has increased by a whopping 50 per cent in the past year, with Australia's ambitious 1.2 million homes target already 55,300 homes behind just one year in. While a house took about 8.5 months to build from approval to completion in 2014, it took an average of 12.7 months in 2024, data compiled by the Institute of Public Affairs has revealed. Costs for building materials had also increased by 53 per cent in the same period. Construction times increased across the board in 2021 as a result of supply-chain issues during the Covid pandemic. The lacklustre figures come as Australia marks one year into the five-year National Housing Accords, in which states and territories must build a combined 1.2 million well-located homes by June 30, 2029. The Commonwealth government has also encouraged states and territories with a $3.5bn funding pot as a carrot for reaching the goal. Between 2014 to 2024, the time it takes to build a home has increased by 50 per cent to a national average of 12.7 months. NewsWire/ Gaye Gerard Credit: News Corp Australia Using building activity data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the IPA found Western Australia was leading the construction lag, with an unenviable increase of 85 per cent to 17.8 months. Building costs have also increased by 45 per cent. South Australia had the next slowest builds of 15.8 months, a hike of 74 per cent, with cost going up by 51 per cent. Over 10 years, the cost of materials had increased by 58 per cent in both NSW and Queensland, where it now respectively takes 12.7 months and 10.2 months to build a detached home. It takes 11.3 months to build a home in Victoria, and 12.6 months to complete a home in Tasmania, with material prices increasing by 56 per cent and 55 per cent. IPA research director Morgan Begg said it was 'little wonder' that Australia was in a housing crisis, with the 'unprecedented demand' for housing being exacerbated by increased construction time and costs. 'The federal government's National Housing Accord will mark its first-year anniversary being tens of thousands of homes behind schedule, as red tape strangles new home builds, with construction times ballooning by 50 per cent,' he said. 'Home ownership is fundamental to the Australian way of life. It gives people a stake in our country and provides long-term financial security for families.' Mr Begg said 'all levels of government must do their part to fix this crisis,' highlighting action points like reducing migration, urging state and local governments to open up more land and cut red tape to boost construction. 'Over the past decade Australia has seen demand-driven cost increases to construction material and labour caused by large, inefficient government projects, creating the perfect storm of rising prices and rents, particularly in the post-pandemic period,' he said. 'Across the board, the latest figures reinforce the depth of Australia's housing crisis, brought about by out-of-control migration intakes, a construction sector burdened by red tape, and competition for resources from large, expensive, and inefficient taxpayer-funded projects.' Coalition housing spokesman Andrew Bragg accused Labor of being 'more interested in announcing targets and building bureaucracies than actually erecting any homes'. NewsWire/ Martin Ollman Credit: News Corp Australia Coalition housing spokesman Andrew Bragg said the housing targets were a 'dead duck,' adding that completed dwellings had dropped by 1 per cent over the last 12 months, according to the ABS. 'A year since Labor's Housing Accord 'officially began', building approvals and activity have gone backwards,' he said. 'Labor is more interested in announcing targets and building bureaucracies than actually erecting any homes. 'Labor's actions show they don't support private developers and builders. They think they know better. No wonder the construction industry has consistently led the nation in insolvencies.' Housing Minister Clare O'Neil has flagged reforming building regulations in a second-term Albanese government. NewsWire/ Martin Ollman Credit: News Corp Australia Housing Minister Clare O'Neil has previously said reducing the 'thicket of regulation' around building homes will be a key priority in Labor's next term of government. As of June, the Hotham MP will also oversee planning policy after she inherited it from the the treasurer's portfolio. A spokesman for Ms O'Neil said on Tuesday Labor had been 'very frank' that building homes both costed too much and took too long. He said Labor was focused on 'working closely with all levels of government and builders to try and fix that,' while also 'increasing productivity, encouraging the building sector to look at more modern methods of building and improving planning pathways and removing red tape'. 'The Liberals can run their mouths, but the reality is they haven't put forward a single legitimate proposition that would increase the number of homes being built in Australia – in fact, their solution was to rip billions of dollars from funding for tens of thousands of social and affordable homes,' he said. 'Talk to anyone who knows the residential building sector and they will tell you that structural reform takes time, and building homes takes time, and the Commonwealth is doing that work. In contrast, the Liberal Party didn't touch that work in their last decade in office.'
