Nissan X-Trail HT32 (Hybrid) — Import to Australia
As part of our full car import service, we regularly source vehicles like this one from Japan. The Nissan X-Trail HT32 Hybrid is a mid-size SUV built around a 2.0L petrol engine and electric motor combination, giving families a fuel-efficient alternative to the standard petrol X-Trail. Its Intelligent Dual Clutch Control hybrid system allows genuine electric-only driving at low speeds, backed by strong real-world efficiency.
Key Features
Hybrid Powertrain: 2.0L MR20DD petrol engine paired with a 30kW electric motor and lithium-ion battery, for a combined output of around 131kW.
Intelligent Dual Clutch Control: a two-clutch parallel hybrid system allowing electric-only driving and regenerative braking, delivered through an Xtronic CVT.
Strong Fuel Efficiency: rated at around 20.6 km/L on the Japanese JC08 cycle, well ahead of the standard petrol X-Trail.
Family SUV Practicality: five-seat layout with roughly 400L of boot space, plus forward emergency braking as standard.
Why Import the Nissan X-Trail HT32 from Japan?
The Nissan X-Trail Hybrid HT32 was never sold new in Australia, where only the petrol version was offered. Importing a used example from Japan gives buyers access to a proven, fuel-efficient hybrid mid-size SUV with a detailed service history from Japanese auction stock with full service history.
