Nissan is building on 25 years of success of its X-Trail SUV with the introduction of a model year update for 2026.
Available to order in Ireland later this year, Nissan says the new X-Trail delivers a sturdier exterior identity while preserving the model’s signature rugged capability.
Diamond-cut alloy wheels – 20-inches as standard on Tekna grade – combine with new glossy black lower bumpers, wheelarch surrounds, side sills and mirrors.
The refreshed front grille and side vents flanked by recontoured lower bumpers and increased body-colour coverage at the rear, deliver a more contemporary look.
At the rear, new full-LED taillights sharpen the lighting signature, while two new exterior colours, Sukomo Blue and Coastal Dune (both available in two-tone) complete the exterior updates.
The 2026 X-Trail continues to be offered with Nissan’s e-Power hybrid solution, which delivers full electric motor drive for instant torque, smooth acceleration, and EV-like quietness without the need for charging.
Interior updates include chestnut brown quilted leather upholstery, a refined brown wood console trim, and a high-quality synthetic leather option. 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 includes a BOSE 10 speaker premium audio system, heated windscreen and towing hitch receiver.
The latest NissanConnect infotainment system now introduces Google built-in for the first time on X-Trail.
The updated 3D eight-point Around View Monitor system, which displays a high-definition bird’s-eye-view onto the central display, now uses wide-angle exterior cameras.
Elsewhere, Nissan says the N-Trek grade returns to the X-Trail offering a more rugged personality.
