This efficiency is a significant advantage over traditional internal combustion engines, especially in stop-and-go city driving., E-Power Technology:, Electric-Driven Performance: The E-Power system ensures that the wheels are driven solely by the electric motor, providing an EV-like driving experience with instant torque and smooth power delivery., Regenerative Braking: Like electric vehicles, the Qashqai E-Power features regenerative braking, which helps recharge the battery during deceleration and braking., Quiet and Refined: The electric-driven powertrain offers a quieter and more refined driving experience, with the petrol engine only running when necessary to generate electricity., Exterior:, Design: The Qashqai retains its modern and bold design, with sleek lines, a dynamic front grille, and a stylish profile.
