The new Nissan X-Trail is a five or seven-seat hybrid SUV powered by Nissan e-POWER, giving you smooth electric drive with no need to plug in. Choose e-4ORCE all-wheel drive for confident all-terrain capability, and explore the latest Nissan X-Trail deals at Vertu.
The Nissan X-Trail is a five or seven-seat family SUV that drives on electric power without ever needing a plug. Its e-POWER hybrid system uses a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine purely as a generator. That engine charges a battery, which powers the electric motors driving the wheels, so you feel instant electric response and still refuel at any petrol station.
Step up to e-4ORCE and the X-Trail adds a second electric motor on the rear axle for twin-motor all-wheel drive. Five selectable drive modes, including Off-road and Snow, tune the car to the conditions, from motorway cruising to muddy trails. Front-wheel-drive e-POWER models seat five, while e-4ORCE unlocks the option of a seven-seat layout.
Measuring 4,690mm long with a 2,705mm wheelbase, the X-Trail balances a confident road presence with a practical, family-friendly cabin. Braked towing reaches up to 1,800kg on e-4ORCE, so caravans, trailers and bike racks sit well within its remit.
Four trims span the range: Acenta Premium, N-Connecta, the adventure-focused N-Trek and the premium Tekna. Every X-Trail comes with a three-year or 60,000-mile Nissan manufacturer warranty, whichever comes first, and the reassurance of Vertu preparation before it reaches your driveway.
Inside, the X-Trail focuses on space, comfort and clean technology for everyday family life. A floating centre console with a butterfly-opening armrest sits alongside a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and from N-Connecta upward that screen runs NissanConnect with Google built-in, putting Google Maps, Google Assistant and Google Play natively on the dashboard.
Seating is flexible throughout. Five-seat models offer between 575 and 858 litres of boot space depending on powertrain, expanding to up to 1,396 litres with the rear seats folded, while N-Trek and Tekna add a 40:20:40 sliding second row with a flat floor. Seven-seat e-4ORCE versions bring a third row for extra passengers when you need it.
Comfort climbs with each grade. N-Trek and Tekna add heated front and outer seats, a heated steering wheel and tri-zone climate control, and Tekna gains power memory front seats with electric lumbar support. An electric panoramic glass roof features on N-Trek and Tekna, filling the cabin with light.
Materials range from black cloth on Acenta Premium to synthetic leather on N-Connecta, water-resistant CellCloth on the rugged N-Trek, and premium synthetic leather on Tekna, with quilted leather available as a Tekna option. Tekna also brings a ten-speaker Bose Premium Sound System and a 10.8-inch head-up display.
The X-Trail's exterior refresh gives it a bolder, more purposeful stance. A new V-Motion grille, refreshed front and side vents and full LED rear lamps sharpen the look, and slim LED lighting runs front and rear across the range.
Wheels and detailing set the grades apart. Acenta Premium and N-Connecta ride on 19-inch diamond-cut alloys, while Tekna steps up to 20-inch diamond-cut wheels with glossy black lower bumpers and chrome accents. Tekna also adds an LED adaptive driving beam that shapes the high beam around other traffic.
The N-Trek grade takes a rugged direction of its own. It wears unique 19-inch alloys with Magma Red inserts, Magma Red bumper accents front and rear, black roof rails and black-and-Magma-Red Nissan badging, giving it a tougher, trail-ready character.
Colour choice is broad, with eight monotone finishes and five two-tone black-roof combinations. Options range from Diamond Red and Pearl White to Sukomo Blue and Coastal Dune, so there's a finish to suit both city streets and weekend adventures.
Every X-Trail comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.3-inch digital driver's display, a wireless phone charger and a comprehensive suite of Nissan safety technology as standard. The e-POWER powertrain drives five-seat models, while e-4ORCE all-wheel drive adds the seven-seat option. The table below focuses on the equipment that changes as you move up the four trims.

The X-Trail is powered exclusively by Nissan's e-POWER hybrid technology, so every model drives its wheels with electric motors. A 1.5-litre variable-compression petrol engine acts as an on-board generator, producing 116kW (158PS) purely to charge the battery rather than to turn the wheels directly.
Front-wheel-drive e-POWER models deliver 150kW (204PS) and 330Nm of torque, reaching 62mph from rest in 8.0 seconds and a top speed of 105mph. Choosing e-4ORCE adds a rear electric motor for all-wheel drive, raising output to up to 157kW (213PS), cutting the 0 to 62mph time to 7.0 seconds and lifting top speed to 111mph.
Because e-POWER charges its own battery, there's no plug and no charging stop to plan around. Official WLTP combined fuel economy reaches up to 49.6mpg, with CO2 emissions from 128g/km (pending final homologation), so the X-Trail pairs electric-style driving with the convenience of the petrol pump.
Traction and towing scale with the powertrain too. Front-wheel-drive models tow up to 670kg braked, while e-4ORCE raises braked towing to up to 1,800kg. The table below sets out the key powertrain, efficiency and towing figures.
