What is it?
The fourth-generation X-Trail (T33) shares its CMF-CD platform with the Mitsubishi Outlander. Two powertrains: the carryover 2.5L NA petrol with Xtronic CVT, and the headline 1.5L variable-compression turbo with e-Power series hybrid and e-4ORCE AWD.
The lineup runs from ST 2WD at $37,750 plus on-roads, through to Ti-L e-Power at $58,360 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
e-Power drives like an EV, with the petrol engine only ever acting as a generator. 575 L boot is among the largest in the segment, and the 7-seat option on petrol grades is unique at this price.
2.5L NA base feels coarse against turbo and HEV rivals. e-Power tow rating drops to 1,650 kg braked, no third row on e-Power.
Should you buy the X-Trail?
Reasons to buy

Reasons to wait
- 2.5L NA base feels coarse against turbo and HEV rivals. e-Power tow rating drops to 1,650 kg braked, no third row on e-Power.
- You want a Toyota badge for resale, a 7-year Korean warranty (Tucson or Sportage), or you want a third row with the hybrid drivetrain (e-Power is 5-seat only).
- Ti-L e-Power at $58,360 plus on-roads tips into Pathfinder territory. The hybrid efficiency advantage also shrinks on long highway runs.
