Nissan's premium 7-seat CBU import SUV with a 1.5L turbo-petrol mild-hybrid engine
The Nissan X-Trail returned to India in August 2024 as a fully-imported (CBU) flagship, positioned to rebuild Nissan's premium credentials alongside the budget-focused Magnite. Unlike the e-Power series-hybrid version Nissan sells in some overseas markets, the India-spec X-Trail uses a more conventional 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance, paired exclusively with a CVT automatic.
It's sold as a single, fully-loaded 7-seat variant — a straightforward one-variant buying decision, though it does mean missing some features (ADAS, ventilated seats, leather) that the globally-sold X-Trail offers.
Import duties mean it's priced well above what the underlying mechanicals alone might suggest, positioning it as a premium alternative to the Fortuner and Kodiaq rather than a value pick.
Sold in India as a single, fully-loaded variant. Note: the globally-marketed e-Power/e-4ORCE hybrid AWD version is NOT what's sold here — India gets a simpler turbo-petrol mild-hybrid, FWD only.
| Car | Price | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota Fortuner | ₹34–50L | Better resale, diesel, more service support |
| Mahindra XUV 7XO | ₹12–18L | More features, 5-Star, much more affordable |
