The 2022 Nissan Qashqai 1.5 E-Power Acenta Premium 5dr Auto represents a significant evolution in Nissan's crossover lineup, blending innovative hybrid technology with the practicality and comfort that have made the Qashqai a popular choice among families. This model introduces Nissan's e-Power system, which combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, delivering a total output of 190bhp. Unlike traditional hybrids, the petrol engine in the e-Power system functions solely as a generator to charge the battery, while the electric motor drives the wheels. This configuration provides the immediate torque and smooth acceleration characteristic of electric vehicles, without the need for external charging. In terms of performance, the Qashqai e-Power accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 105 mph. Fuel efficiency is notable, with a combined fuel economy of 54.3 mpg and CO2 emissions of 117 g/km, making it an environmentally conscious choice within its segment. The Acenta Premium trim level offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to enhance both convenience and safety. Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, a rear-view camera, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adjustable lumbar support for the front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, keyless entry, power-folding door mirrors, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. These amenities contribute to a comfortable and user-friendly driving experience. Externally, the Qashqai has been refreshed with a sharper design, featuring a restyled hexagonal grille inspired by samurai armor and enhanced rear LED lights. The vehicle is equipped with four 360-degree cameras that provide a comprehensive view to assist with parking and navigating tight spaces. Inside, the use of piano black accents and Alcantara faux suede adds a touch of modern sophistication.
