New 2023 Nissan X-Trail goes hybrid-only and gets 4WD option
Nissan's European range-topper due in dealerships soon with Qashqai's innovative electrified powertrain
The next-generation Nissan X-Trail has been officially detailed in Japan ahead of an expected launch in mainland Europe and the UK early next year.
Shown in full for the first time at the Shanghai motor show last year, the brand's largest European-market SUV once again shares the bulk of its exterior and interior design with the US-market Rogue, which it has followed onto a heavily updated version of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's CMF-C crossover platform - as used by the Nissan Qashqai.
That means it is offered with Nissan's new E-Power hybrid drivetrain, a system that differs from a conventional hybrid powertrain in that a petrol engine features but is used exclusively to charge a battery, which in turn powers an electric motor connected to the front axle.
Here, the set-up comprises a 1.5-litre petrol engine mated to a front-mounted electric motor for a total output of 188bhp and has the same 'e-Pedal' one-pedal operational ability as the all-electric Nissan Leaf, offering enhanced efficiency and lower emissions than the range of pure-petrol and diesel engines used by the previous car.

New Nissan X-Trail and Qashqai coming to South Africa later this year
Nissan South Africa is set to give its mid-size SUV game a reboot with the introduction of new-generation Qashqai and X-Trail models later this year.
Nissan Africa’s marketing director Stefan Haasbroek told IOL during a recent interview that the new Nissan Qashqai was expected to reach local shores around the third quarter of 2022, with the new X-Trail following in the fourth quarter.
Not too long ago Nissan was a big player in this mid-size SUV space and the new models, which have made some significant technological strides, could see that status quo restored.
When asked about the Nissan Kicks, which is a compact SUV that would likely slot between the Magnite and Qashqai, Haasbroek said that the company was studying that space as there was growth potential there, but he stopped short of confirming any future product introductions.

2023 Nissan X-Trail Confirmed with Electric Power
The 2023 Nissan X-Trail has been revealed featuring a revolutionary electrified engine. Here’s what you need to know about the popular family SUV from the Japanese brand.
The 2023 Nissan X-Trail is a large family SUV that comes offered with the option of three rows of seats and all-wheel drive. However the big change for 2023 is the introduction of a brand-new powertrain. Now, this is where it gets interesting. The new engine is a three-cylinder turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol motor, but its not connected to the wheels.
Instead, its used as an onboard generator which makes electricity. This electricity is stored in a battery, which is then used to power the wheels via an electric motor.
Outputs of 148 kW and 330 Nm are quoted, giving the 2023 Nissan X-Trail a claimed 0-100 kph in 8 seconds. Interestingly, Nissan will also be offering this powertrain in an all-wheel drive setup, giving a total output of around 155 kW and that’ll hit 100 kph in 7 seconds, with the 7-seater option fractionally slower at 7.2 seconds.
Speaking of 7-seater options, the 2023 Nissan X-Trail will again be offering in a 5-seater or 7-seater configuration, and the boot space has grown by 20 litres. The second row bench is able to fold in a 60:40 split and can slide forward to make access into the 3rd row of seats a bit easier.

The new Nissan X-Trail is a seven-seat hybrid 4WD crossover
How's that for a USP? A car built to slot into family life without making a fuss... or any memories
The following fact slightly surprised me: Nissan has sold six million X-Trails, and clone Rogues, over three generations. The first one was quite funky for a year-2000 vehicle, but then it became somehow invisible. Or at least unmemorable. Maybe this new one will make a bigger impression.
(I was once asked to write a review of the outgoing generation. I said I couldn't do it because I hadn't driven one. Then I looked back at my diary and found I actually had, but I'd quickly forgotten it.)
The point of the X-Trail isn't to be a statement car. It's ready to fit into the background of family life. It's not the car, it's what you do with it. In this case, the possibility exists of active family life while using a bit less fuel than usual.
See, the X-Trail comes with Nissan's e-Power system, where the engine is a little donkey that charges the battery, while the wheels are driven by an electric motor. So it feels torquey and instant-acting like a battery EV, but you don't need to plug it in.
And also, the 4WD version has a second motor on the rear wheels. Since this doesn't need a propshaft, the back seat has a flat floor and there's room for a third row behind. It does 0-72 in 7.2 seconds and 43.8mpg.
So here's a handy USP if you need it. The X-Trail is a hybrid 4WD crossover that's a seven-seater. The rivals lose the third row if you specify a hybrid or PHEV option.

New Nissan X-Trail with e-Power for SA
Nissan’s all-new X-Trail SUV is destined to reach South Africa and the newcomer will be offered with the firm’s e-Power technology for the first time! See the details below!
The Nissan X-Trail has been a global success with over 7 million units sold since its introduction in 2001. Now, Nissan has taken the wraps off its new fourth-generation X-Trail! The new X-Trail will be offered in both 5- and 7-seat configurations.
The new X-Trail is built on the same CMF-C platform, the same that underpins the new Qashqai which was recently introduced in South Africa. Like its predecessors, the new X-Trail forges on with a modernised iteration of the firm’s V-Motion grille which is flanked by slim daytime running light and indicator light units with the headlight clusters below while the rear split wrap-around taillights give the X-Trail a sophisticated look. Furthermore, Nissan has enhanced aerodynamic performance with 3D tyre deflectors, active grille shutter, underbody covers and an “air curtain” that directs air flow to the sides of the vehicle. Buyers will be able to choose between 10 body colours as well as 5 two-tone combinations.

Electric, kind of: we drive the new Nissan X-Trail e-Power hybrid
Nissan had converted a moto-cross track into a not-too-hectic off-road circuit to display its off-road prowess.
Some axle twisters, steep gradients, hill descent, full throttle pull away and hard braking, soft sand drifting and driving up a hill with one side on slippery logs showed that it was more than capable of tackling these conditions.
You’re not going to be doing serious 4x4 trail riding or traipsing over Lesotho donkey trails, but you will get to places far enough from the madding crowd, even though it has ground clearance of only 205mm as a result of a battery protector under the vehicle.
There’s no word yet from Nissan SA if or whether the Nissan X-Trail e-Power e-4orce will be available in South Africa any time soon. There are a lot of permutations that have to be considered before a final decision is made including pricing, volume demand and exchange rates.
For now at least it makes sense for Nissan to bring in the four cylinder 2.5-litre ICE engine with 135kW and 244Nm, most likely in Q2 next year.
