Here's a refined overview of the Nissan Qashqai 1.5 e-Power N-Design 5-door Auto Hybrid—a premium hybrid crossover with bold design, electric-like performance, and real-world practicality. Powertrain & Performance e-Power system: This series-hybrid setup uses a 1.5 L petrol engine to generate electricity for a 140 kW (≈190 bhp) electric motor. The petrol engine never directly drives the wheels, delivering a smooth, responsive EV-like experience. Acceleration: Quick 0–62 mph in around 7.9 seconds, top speed approximately 105 mph. Fuel Economy & Emissions Official WLTP combined: ~54 mpg (≈5.2 L/100 km), with CO? around 118 g/km and typical first-year VED of £440. Real-world: Testers report 50–53 mpg in mixed use—close to official numbers. Driving style matters: City stops in the 60–80 mpg range are possible with a charged battery, but efficiency can drop sharply (into the 40s mpg) when the battery is depleted or driven aggressively. Practicality & Dimensions Size: Length ~4,425 mm, width ~1,835 mm, height ~1,625 mm; wheelbase ~2,665 mm. Boot space: ~504 L—unaffected by the hybrid powertrain and competitive for the class. N-Design Trim Highlights Exterior styling: Striking visual upgrades including body-colored bumpers, rocker panels, and unique 20″ diamond-cut alloy wheels. Luxurious interior: Alcantara and quilted leather seats, mood lighting, dual 12.3″ digital displays, full panoramic glass roof, and Google-powered infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Driving Experience & Feedback Drivers describe it as refined and smooth, with powerful responsiveness and impressive regenerative braking and e-Pedal function. A mixed-feedback note from for-higher-speed driving: “Super smooth... torque is awesome... fuel efficiency is good, around 5 L/100 km. On highway though, above 120 km/h. Verdict The Nissan Qashqai 1.5 e-Power N-Design offers an alluring blend of EV-like driving, upscale cabin refinement, and strong practicality. While its economy shines in urban and steady-speed conditions, it may not deliver as well on sustained high-speed runs.
