Nissan has offered a first look at the 2027 Nissan X-Trail, previewed globally as the new Rogue, bringing a new design and the introduction of its e-Power hybrid system to the model.
Like we’ve seen in the Nissan Kicks as well as Serena e-Power, the system uses a petrol engine solely as a generator to produce electricity, which then powers electric motors that drive the wheels. This delivers an EV-like driving feel, with smoother and more responsive acceleration.
While full specifications have yet to be confirmed, the new X-Trail is expected to adopt the latest third-generation e-Power system, first introduced in the Qashqai. This setup uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine paired with a more powerful electric motor, with improvements in efficiency and refinement compared to the previous system. An all-wheel drive version with Nissan’s e-4ORCE system is also expected, using a second electric motor to drive the rear wheels.
From the preview images, the new X-Trail adopts a more angular design compared to the current model. The front end features a distinctive X-shaped layout formed by the bonnet and bumper lines, along with a large grille with integrated lighting elements.
