The third generation Nissan Qashqai doesn’t disappoint – even though it’s only now starting to arrive in dealerships across Europe, it already hit more than 10,000 customer orders, exceeding all expectations.
It was almost 15 years ago when the first generation Qashqai made its European debut, with great success, adding up to more than 5 million units being sold across the globe. Now, a lot of the first generation customers are returning for this new crossover, proving that it’s a model worth staying loyal to.
The philosophy behind the latest Qashqai stays the same – a combination of powertrain efficiency, elegant design and optimal on-board experience, with the added benefits of a more efficient drive and next-generation technology.
A 12V mild hybrid system makes the new Qashqai more efficient by improving fuel economy and CO2 output, while also providing torque assist, quick restart and extended idle stop. As for the 1.3-liter engine, it comes with 138 HP and 156 HP power outputs and a 6-speed manual transmission, plus the option of an Xtronic automatic gearbox, for 156 HP only.
The driver assistance technology was also upgraded, with the intuitive ProPilot system (available only with the Xtronic transmission) reducing driving fatigue, for a more enjoyable experience and increased safety. Equally enjoyable is the new crossover’s interior, with more room both in the cabin and in the trunk, massage seats and a new-generation touchscreen.
Nissan has even bigger plans for next year’s Qashqai. The e-POWER system will integrate a 154 HP turbocharged fuel engine with a 140 kW electric motor, similar to the one that Nissan’s EVs are equipped with. The electric motor will power the wheels, while the fuel engine’s role will be only to generate electricity.
This will give the Qashqai the smooth acceleration of an EV, superior fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions, but also optimal range, because charging won’t be needed anymore.
Until the next Nissan crossover will be upgraded with this innovative system, it looks like the Qashqai is still as popular as ever.
