Nissan New Zealand is offering its owners something tempting, a thousand big ones, or a finance deal, to replace their Nissan with another one.
The brand has launched two incentives on the MY26 X-Trail: a 1% p.a. fixed finance rate on terms up to 24 months through Nissan Financial Services, and a $1,000 loyalty bonus for existing Nissan owners or immediate family at the same address.
The offers come as Nissan works to shore up its passenger volumes in an increasingly competitive SUV market. The X-Trail recorded 134 registrations in February, placing it 10th among new passenger models, while the brand’s overall passenger result fell 30.2% year-on-year. By contrast, the new Navara has been a strong performer on the commercial side, posting 411 units in February alone.
“The 1% finance offer is amongst the absolute best available in the market today,” says Sri Padmanabhan, Country Head of Nissan New Zealand.
The loyalty contribution applies whether the customer’s existing Nissan was purchased new or used, and is structured as a factory contribution rather than a cash alternative.
Both incentives sit alongside Nissan’s MORE Ownership Program, which includes a 10-year/300,000km warranty, fixed-price servicing, roadside assistance, and documented dealer service history.
The offers run through participating dealers until the end of June.
