Nissan has adopted up robust close of monetary 365 days gross sales of the MY25 X-Slide with permanent designate cuts across the midsize SUV fluctuate relevant from 1 July 2025.

The switch sees all X-Slide variants change into more reasonable when evaluating their outgoing producer’s retail list designate (MRLP) to new pricing, though the dimensions of the discount depends on the grade.

Some versions change into even less pricey than they had been at some stage in Nissan’s EOFY promotion, which expired at nighttime final night, whereas numerous X-Slide trims upward push a puny bit in real terms in comparison to these discounts.

Nissan Oceania overall manager of corporate communications Emily Fadeyev told Chasing Cars that Nissan used to be aiming to kind the X-Slide more uncomplicated to aquire into for more Australian customers.

“(The new X-Slide pricing) offers bigger rate for customers and makes it more uncomplicated to aquire into a depended on and loyal impress,” Fadeyev said.

Up till 30 June, Nissan used to be providing between $2000 and $3000 cashbacgood ample, and promotional 1.9 percent finance rates, across the X-Slide fluctuate with e-Power hybrid devices also attracting an additional $1000 discount for new Nissan house owners and their relatives.

That marketing campaign is now over but in its situation comes a less complex pricing construction with numerous levels of diminished pricing locked in. Recent discounts fluctuate between $1035 and $3000.

Shoppers of the X-Slide ST-L, N-Slump and Ti-L devices with petrol engines rating basically the most inspiring slay consequence with even steeper discounting than the close of monetary 365 days sale.

On the quite lots of hand, some numerous X-Slide trims (base ST petrol, and Ti and Ti-L e-Power hybrids) are more costly enjoy-for-enjoy than the discounts seen final month, even in the occasion that they now raise decrease list pricing.

The X-Slide fluctuate in Australia spans 5 natty grades (ST, ST-L, N-Slump, Ti-, Ti-L) with investors in a position to kind a desire from a 135kW 2.5-litre non-hybrid, non-turbo petrol ‘four, or a 157kW 1.5-litre turbo three-cylinder petrol-electrical hybrid badged e-Power.

Australians can opt for front-wheel power (FWD) or all-wheel power (AWD) in the petrol engine but for the local market, the e-Power hybrid is AWD-easiest despite a circa-10 percent more atmosphere friendly e-Power being sold in numerous ideally suited-hand power markets enjoy the UK.

Preserving the desire of a petroleum engine manner the X-Slide undercuts the entry designate of the hybrid-easiest Toyota RAV4 by a grand $5270, though basically the most rate-effective X-Slide hybrid is relevantly $5505 more costly than basically the most reasonable petrol-electrical, front-power RAV4.

Compared with an AWD RAV4 hybrid the X-Slide is round $2500 dearer.

Australian-delivered X-Trails are sourced from a Jap factory in Fukuoka, Japan, which Chasing Cars understands has no longer yet been retooled to rating a facelift to the X-Slide first seen on the American-market Rogue in late 2023.

Nonetheless, Australia might per chance rating the facelifted X-Slide in future.

But rumours out of the US that Nissan in that market will ditch the hot-gen X-Slide in favour of a rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV are no longer actually to be relevant to Australian customers.

“(The X-Slide e-Power) has been completely got by customers…it doesn’t in actuality feel enjoy anything on the market. There is for the time being no opinion for the PHEV” Fadeyev told Chasing Cars.

Whereas a facelift isn’t on the immediate horizon, and a PHEV is no longer in the opinion at all, the permanent diminished pricing might per chance serve the X-Slide claw market fraction from key opponents enjoy the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 that proceed to outsell it in the Australian market.

Across 2024, and to this level into 2025, the X-Slide occupies sixth situation among mainstream midsize SUVs, though market fraction has a puny bit improved in 2025.

“On the again of the close of monetary 365 days offer, we’re genuinely in a position to negate this permanent (pricing) offer and not using a specification deletion,” said Fadeyev.

Final June 2025 gross sales numbers are aloof incoming, but sources suggest X-Slide gross sales had been robust as a results of the aggressive close of monetary 365 days marketing campaign.
