A Bold New Look
The most striking change is evident at the front, where the grille has been completely revamped. Dozens of high-gloss, three-dimensional “comma-shaped” elements dominate the grille, creating a dynamic and modern look. New headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights add to the car’s purposeful stance. The taillights echo the design of the grille with four individual “comma” elements, now in a distinctive “super red” shade.
New alloy wheel options, ranging from 18 to 20 inches, and three new exterior colour choices – Pearl White, Pearl Black, and Ocean Deep – round out the refreshed design, giving customers a wider range of personalization options.
Introducing the N-Design Grade
A new addition to the Qashqai lineup is the N-Design grade. This sportier option features unique design cues on the exterior, including body-coloured elements on the lower body and distinctive 20-inch alloy wheels.
Elevated Interior Experience
The cabin gets a major upgrade with the use of premium materials like Alcantara® on the dashboard, door panels, and centre console. New patterned materials and updated seat trims elevate the overall feel, with the top-of-the-line model featuring black, partially quilted premium leather seats. Ambient lighting with 64 colour options adds another touch of luxury to the interior.
Technology Packed
The new Qashqai is brimming with advanced technology, including an upgraded Around View Monitor system with 3D functionality and multiple camera views. This allows drivers to see a virtual 360-degree view of their surroundings and manoeuvre more confidently in tight spaces.
Another innovative feature is the “invisible hood view,” which displays the position of the front wheels on the centre screen, making parking and navigating narrow roads a breeze. The Qashqai is also the first Nissan in Europe to feature Google built-in. This seamless integration allows drivers to access Google Maps, Google Assistant, and a range of downloadable apps directly from the car’s infotainment system.
For added peace of mind, the NissanConnect Services keep an eye on the Qashqai, reminding drivers if they’ve forgotten to lock the car or monitoring for potential thefts.
e-POWER: A Unique Driving Experience
The new Qashqai continues to offer Nissan’s innovative e-POWER powertrain. This system combines an electric motor with a gasoline engine that functions solely as a generator, eliminating the need for external charging. The result is a smooth, electric driving experience without range anxiety. The engine either powers the 140kW motor directly or stores the energy in the small 1.8kWh battery pack.
Production and Availability
The new Nissan Qashqai is now in production at Nissan’s Sunderland Plant in the UK and available for order, with prices starting from GBP 30,135 in the UK market. The most expensive variant of the Nissan Qashqai, named Tekna+, retails at GBP 38,875.
