Before Nissan upgrades to a new generation X-Trail, SUV buyers are treated to an improved current offering.
Updated on a new price guide from Nissan for MY21 X-Trail.
Nissan has added some nice new tech to its stalwart SUV that also sees a slight bump in price. However, it does finally bring the widely adopted Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity to Nissan’s mid-size family SUV.
It’s the ST-L which gains most, with new 18-inch alloys and now driver attention monitoring alert as standard equipment. Elsewhere the entire lineup benefits from a new 7.0-inch infotainment system that delivers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (wired) to the X-Trail. Added to the system is DAB+ radio and voice recognition.
The improvements bring a corresponding rise in price with the entry-level ST moving from $30,040 plus on-roads to $30,665. See below for full range pricing.
2021 Nissan X-Trail pricing (plus on-roads):
Nissan Australia Managing Director Stephen Lester says that Nissan expects continued support on showrooms from shoppers with the incremental, but important upgrade: “The addition of new cabin technology and advanced safety equipment further improves the popular X-TRAIL, and shows the evolution of a vehicle that has played such a key role in the lives of so many Australians.
“And in 2021, that story continues, with these upgrades ensuring the X-TRAIL remains one of the most compelling SUV offerings in Australia.”
Safety features for the 2021 range include Intelligent Driver Alert, forward collision warning (FCW), adaptive cruise control, AEB with pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, 360-degree view cameras, lane departure prevention, blind-spot monitoring and moving object detection.
As before, engine options are 2.0-litre petrol (106kW/200Nm), 2.5-litre petrol (126kW/226Nm), and a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel (130kW/380Nm), mated to a CVT automatic or six-speed manual and either front or all-wheel drive (refer to price guide above).
