Nissan turned the X-Trail into a bedroom and widened the choice

Nissan has widened the X-Trail Multi Bed range with a G e-4ORCE version, a 150 kg sleeping platform and CORDURA trim, while prices in Japan start at 5,362,500 yen.

Nissan has turned the X-Trail into a rolling bedroom again — and this time the Multi Bed is no longer tied only to the rugged ROCK CREEK. The updated X-Trail ROCK CREEK Multi Bed costs 5,362,500 yen in Japan. The launch actually came earlier: NMC announced the changes and opened sales on September 3. The real headline is the arrival of a pricier Multi Bed based on the G e-4ORCE.

That is where the range gets noticeably broader. The X-Trail Multi Bed can now be ordered not only as a ROCK CREEK but also on the G e-4ORCE base. Nissan asks 5,635,300 yen for that version. Both variants seat five, use e-4ORCE all-wheel drive and pair it with the KR15DDT engine.

Here is the part that makes campers pay attention. Fold the second row and the sleeping module becomes a bed for two adults, with a maximum permitted load of 150 kg. The mats are covered in hard-wearing CORDURA, the two front sections can be stowed under the floor, and the luggage area gets its own high-sided rubber mat designed to deal with water and mud.

So what does Nissan charge for turning the crossover into a place to sleep? A regular X-Trail G e-4ORCE costs 4,950,000 yen in Japan, which means the factory Multi Bed treatment adds 685,300 yen on the same base. The gap between the two Multi Bed versions is much smaller at 272,800 yen.

There is one naming trap worth avoiding. Japan's Multi Bed should not be confused with other X-Trail Rock Creek versions. Australia, for example, already gets its own seven-seat X-Trail Rock Creek without a factory bed. The Japanese Multi Bed is a separate five-seat NMC conversion whose whole point is a ready-made sleeping area and a luggage compartment protected for messy outdoor use.
