Nissan’s electrified product offensive takes shape today with the launch of the all-new, fourth generation X-Trail.

Almost seven million units of X-Trail have been sold globally, making it one of the world’s most popular family adventure vehicles.

Nissan has drawn on the well-established DNA that runs through all three of the previous generations of X-Trail in both five and seven seater configurations.

“The move towards electrified driving is well and truly underway in Ireland and Nissan continues to lead the way. With over 10 years’ experience of selling EV’s our expertise makes switching to electrified driving a whole lot easier.  Our growing range of electrified vehicles enables drivers to make a fully informed choice that is right for them, no matter where they sit on their journey towards 100% electric driving and a more sustainable future.

Nissan is charging towards an electrified future and we are committed to ensuring that 75% of our sales mix will be electrified by the end of 2023.  Today’s unveiling of the all-new X-trail brings us even closer towards achieving that ambition” said Seamus Morgan, Managing Director of Nissan Ireland. “

Central to Nissan’s electrification drive the new X-Trail will be available with Nissan’s unique e-POWER drivetrain.  Nissan’s e-POWER system is comprised of a high-output battery integrated with a petrol engine, power generator, inverter and 150kW front electric motor.

The unique element of e-POWER is that the petrol engine is used solely to generate electricity, whilst the wheels are always completely driven by the electric motor. This means the engine can always run within its optimal range, leading to superior fuel efficiency in urban settings.

Thanks to the pure electric motor drive, with the e-Power system there’s no delay as with an internal combustion engine or traditional hybrid. The instant response delivers exhilarating high torque feel and agile acceleration to make overtaking or merging onto a highway easier and more confidence-inspiring. 


“The all-new X-Trail is a tour de force of Nissan’s innovative technology. The new X-Trail has been designed and engineered from the ground up to meet the very exacting needs of our customers. For more than 20 years, X-Trail has been synonymous with comfort, convenience, security and confidence. Add intuitive technology and rugged design, and a brand new unique electrified drivetrain and we’re confident that the new X-Trail will be hugely well received by the Irish public and will exceed the success of previous generations,” said Seamus Morgan.
