Overview

  • The SUV gets Kayaba Swing Valve dampers—the first use of this tech on a Nissan—plus retuned e‑4ORCE for a greater rear bias and VCM calibrations with Sport and Auto modes.
  • A functional aero kit with Nismo spoilers and a diffuser cuts lift by 29% without raising drag, complemented by a motorsport-style rear fog lamp.
  • Exclusive 20‑inch Enkei wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres, with steering tuned to match the suspension and tyre changes.
  • The model retains the standard e‑Power hybrid setup with no increase in peak output versus the regular X‑Trail.
  • Sales begin in Japan on September 24, with export plans and final pricing unannounced; Australia is not earmarked, and a Philippine outlet reported a ¥5.962 million example with optional Recaro seats.
