2026 Nissan X-Trail Rock Creek
- Nissan has expanded the Australian X-Trail range with the adventure-focused Rock Creek trim and three new front-wheel-drive e-Power hybrid variants.
- The new 2WD e-Power models use an electric motor to drive the wheels while the gasoline engine recharges the battery, offering around 11.5% better fuel efficiency than AWD versions.
- The X-Trail Rock Creek is based on the AWD ST-L and features rugged styling, orange accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, a Baja Storm paint option, and upgraded interior details.
- Pricing starts at AUD 45,990 for the X-Trail ST-L 2WD e-Power, while Rock Creek starts at AUD 48,315, with deliveries scheduled to begin in September 2026.
Nissan has expanded its top-selling X-TRAIL range with three new front-wheel-drive e-POWER hybrid variants and the debut of the adventure-focused Rock Creek grade, broadening the appeal of the medium SUV for both value-conscious buyers and adventure seekers.
e-POWER line-up expands to front-wheel drive
Nissan has doubled the number of e-POWER variants from three grades to six with the introduction of front-wheel-drive versions of the ST-L, Ti and Ti-L.
The new two-wheel-drive variants make Nissan’s unique e-POWER hybrid technology more accessible than ever. In e-POWER, the wheels are driven exclusively by an electric motor, with the petrol engine used only to generate electricity.
The two-wheel-drive e-POWER variants return combined fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km, an improvement of approximately 11.5% over all-wheel-drive e-POWER variants (which deliver 6.1L/100km). Combined CO2 emissions for the two-wheel-drive hybrid models are just 123g/km (vs 139g/km for AWD e-POWER models).
The front-wheel-drive e-POWER models are priced between $3,090 and $3,655 below their all-wheel-drive counterparts.

NissanThe move reflects a decisive shift in the medium SUV segment, where hybrid and electrified powertrains have overtaken petrol as consumers’ preferred choice, and where around half of hybrid buyers choose two-wheel drive.
Rock Creek makes its X-TRAIL debut
In addition to the hybrid expansion, a distinctive new X-TRAIL Rock Creek grade has been developed for buyers seeking a more rugged interpretation of its family SUV. Offered exclusively in seven-seat configuration and built on the all-wheel-drive ST-L, Rock Creek features unique exterior styling and bespoke interior detailing.
Outside, Rock Creek features a black V-motion grille, black roof rails, gloss-black door mirrors, a unique front lower bumper and exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels, complemented by orange accents on the front and rear badging and the alloy wheels.
A distinctive ‘three-slot’ horizontal grille treatment, inspired by the Nissan D21 ute, is exclusive to the X-TRAIL Rock Creek. Headlining the Rock Creek colour palette is a new Baja Storm exterior paint, paired with a black roof.
Inside, durable ballistic nylon-trimmed seats feature embroidered Rock Creek badging, while orange contrast stitching across the seats and dashboard trim, along with an orange Nissan badge accent on the steering wheel, reinforces the grade’s adventurous character.
Rock Creek also brings a technology step up over its donor grade, adding a 10.8-inch head-up display and a 12.3-inch full TFT instrument cluster.
X-TRAIL Rock Creek is offered as a seven-seat four-wheel-drive petrol model priced at $48,315 — a $2,435 premium over the ST-L 4WD grade on which it is based.
