Nissan Australia has added a five-seat, front-wheel-drive X-Trail ST-L e-POWER at a $45,990 manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), excluding on-road costs. CarExpert reports that this matches the Toyota RAV4 GX FWD’s base price, and that Nissan does not plan to offer a cheaper ST e-POWER grade. One important date distinction: Nissan calls the new 2WD e-POWER grades 2026 additions, while CarExpert’s headline frames the story as 2027.

What is the new base X-Trail hybrid, and what does it cost?

The new entry point for the Australian X-Trail e-POWER range is the five-seat ST-L 2WD e-POWER. Nissan Australia lists it at $45,990 MSRP, excluding statutory charges and other on-road costs. That is a list price, not a drive-away price; the total payable will depend on applicable charges and the dealer’s quote.

Nissan’s 30 September 2026 announcement describes front-wheel-drive ST-L, Ti and Ti-L e-POWER grades as additions to the 2026 range. CarExpert’s article headline calls the vehicle a 2027 X-Trail. Those references are not interchangeable: the manufacturer’s announcement uses 2026 language, so buyers should check the model year and build or delivery details on an actual vehicle offer.

How does the price compare with the RAV4 and other X-Trails?

CarExpert reports that the $45,990 X-Trail ST-L 2WD e-POWER matches the Toyota RAV4 GX FWD’s base price. This is a comparison of stated base prices; the Nissan figure is explicitly an MSRP before on-road costs, so shoppers should confirm both vehicles’ prices on the same basis before comparing final costs.

Why isn’t Nissan adding a cheaper ST e-POWER?

CarExpert reports that Nissan Oceania managing director Steve Milette was asked about expanding the hybrid range downwards with an ST grade. His answer was: “It does not exist anywhere in the world.” That is the explanation given in the interview; it does not mean Nissan has ruled out every future change to the Australian range.

CarExpert also reports that the Japanese-market X-Trail e-POWER starts with an X grade whose equipment is closer to Australia’s ST-L e-POWER than to Australia’s petrol ST. This helps explain why the local hybrid line-up does not simply mirror the petrol range with a base-equipment ST hybrid, but the comparison is CarExpert’s reporting, not a specification claim in Nissan’s announcement.

What does the 2WD e-POWER system offer?

Nissan describes e-POWER as a system where an electric motor drives the wheels, while a petrol engine generates electricity. The new ST-L 2WD e-POWER is front-wheel drive and has five seats. It is not the only new X-Trail grade in the announcement: Rock Creek is a separate petrol 4WD model with seven seats, not a lower-priced hybrid alternative.

For the 2WD e-POWER, Nissan quotes combined fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km and combined CO2 emissions of 123g/km, tested under ADR81/02. Nissan cautions that real-world consumption and emissions vary with conditions, vehicle condition, driving and accessories.

What to check before comparing quotes

  • Compare MSRP with MSRP or drive-away with drive-away; do not treat a pre-cost list price as the final payable amount.
  • Check drivetrain and grade: the new ST-L e-POWER is 2WD, while the existing ST-L e-POWER AWD is a different configuration.
  • Confirm seat count and equipment on the exact vehicle being quoted; the new ST-L 2WD e-POWER is five-seat.
  • Verify the advertised model year, offer dates and delivery conditions with the seller, particularly where a listing uses 2027 while Nissan’s announcement calls the additions 2026.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
