Nissan has made the regional debut of the new X-Trail e-Power e-4ORCE at KLIMS 2026, as Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) confirming a Malaysian launch in Q4 2026.
The X-Trail e-Power e-4ORCE pairs Nissan’s e-Power series hybrid system with its e-4ORCE electric all-wheel-control technology. Unlike conventional hybrids, e-POWER uses a petrol engine solely as a generator – all drive comes from the electric motor. The e-4ORCE system uses dual electric motors to control front and rear torque independently in real time, offering more precise torque distribution than traditional mechanical AWD systems.
At KLIMS, the X-Trail is shown alongside the All-New Nissan Serena e-Power — locally assembled and named MPV of the Year 2026 — and the Nissan Kicks e-POWER, which took Vehicle of the Year 2025.
Christopher Tan, Executive Vice President of ETCM, said, “Malaysia is one of the key markets in Nissan’s electrification journey, and we are excited to confirm that the New Nissan X-Trail e-Power e-4ORCE will be launched here in the fourth quarter of 2026. This milestone marks another important step in our journey following the introduction of the Nissan Kicks e-POWER and the All-New Nissan Serena e-Power. It also reflects strong confidence in Malaysia as a key market for the introduction of a new electrified premium SUV for Malaysian customers.”
Masao Tsutsumi, President of Nissan ASEAN and Nissan Thailand, said, “Malaysia plays an important role in Nissan’s growth in ASEAN, supported by our longstanding presence and strong local partnerships. The introduction of the New Nissan X-Trail e-Power e-4ORCE today marks an important step in expanding our electrified line-up and delivering greater value to Malaysian customers.”
