A refreshed Nissan X-Trail is now on sale, and it appears to be the facelifted version of the second-generation X-Trail that was launched locally in July 2010. The sole powertrain available here is a 2.0L CVT 2WD with 139 PS and 198 Nm of torque, with drive going to the front wheels.
Compared to the original second-gen X-Trail that starred in our five-car SUV shootout, this updated model’s exterior gets a reprofiled bumper, a slightly different grille, new 17-inch wheels and new tail lamps with LEDs. Speaking of LEDs, the front projector Xenons are joined by the white diodes in an L-shape.
Inside, the 2013 car gets a new dark interior tone and multimedia navigation system with six-inch touchscreen, reverse camera and iPod/Bluetooth connectivity. The 2-DIN unit is joined by a Fine Vision Meter with a larger square multi-info display between the dials. These help make the X-Trail dashboard look a little less spartan than before.
Also, the steering, gear knob and handbrake lever are now leather wrapped. Other amenities include Nissan’s Intelligent Key and powered front seats. Nissan also highlights a retractable rear drink holder with cooling function and a glovebox with cooling/heating function.
Now available in Solid White, the 2013 Nissan X-Trail is priced at RM148,800 on the road, which is around RM700 lower than the original sticker price.
This should be the first and last update we’ll see of this X-Trail, a curvy new one based on the Hi-Cross concept is on the way – view it here.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mostly criticize the Nissan X-Trail facelift for its outdated design, lack of key safety features like traction control, and limited high-spec options, making it less competitive compared to rivals like Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, and others. Many feel the model has not evolved sufficiently and recommend waiting for new models or older, more rugged versions. Price perceptions vary, with some suggesting it's overpriced for its limited features, while others compare it unfavorably to older or alternative SUVs. Overall, sentiments lean toward disappointment with the facelift's design and value.
