Nissan SA (temporarily) slashes X-Trail prices
Nissan South Africa has temporarily slashed prices across its 3-strong X-Trail range, with the entry-level derivative now a whopping R100 000 more affordable…
- Nissan cuts up to R100k off X-Trail pricing
- Price reductions are seemingly temporary
- All variants also gain wireless charging pad
Having recently reduced the prices of the turbocharged derivatives in its Magnite crossover range, Nissan South Africa has now slashed pricing – albeit temporarily, it seems – across its X-Trail line-up.
The Japanese firm’s local division took the decision to cut pricing for all 3 variants in the X-Trail portfolio while introducing what it describes as a “new model year” update. The latter includes a wireless charging pad for all derivatives, along with “approach unlock” and “walk-away lock” functionality.
So, just how much has Nissan SA lopped off each X-Trail derivative’s starting price? Well, the entry-level X-Trail 2.5 Visia CVT 5-seater had previously been available from R687 900 but is now offered at R587 900 (a considerable R100 000 more affordable than before).
Meanwhile, the mid-tier and likewise front-wheel-drive X-Trail 2.5 Acenta CVT 5-seater now comes in at R666 900, some R85 000 down from its previous sticker price of R751 900. Finally, the flagship X-Trail 2.5 Acenta Plus 4WD CVT (which is a 7-seater as standard) has had its price cut by R63 000, from R812 900 to R749 900. It’s not clear how long these price reductions will remain in effect.
As a reminder, the T33-series X-Trail launched in Mzansi in April 2023. Each derivative in the X-Trail line-up is powered by Nissan’s naturally aspirated 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine. This motor delivers 135 kW and 244 Nm via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as standard.
With the Y62-series Patrol having been put out to pasture earlier in 2025, Nissan SA’s passenger-vehicle range currently comprises only the Indian-built Magnite and the X-Trail (the likes of the Qashqai, Almera and Micra have all been culled). However, the company plans to expand its line-up with a pair of Renault-based crossovers in 2026, with the Y63-series Patrol likely to follow in 2027.
