EFFORTLESS DRIVE
Conceived in Europe and tested on cobblestones and Autobahns, the Qashqai embodies street-wise agility. It melds a hatchback's quick response and stability with an SUV's focus on comfort and safety. Rely on smooth acceleration, quick response, agile handling and superior stability on the highway, on suburban streets or in tight city corners.
MR20DE ENGINE
Experience a satisfying blend of refined power, superior drivability and low speed torque while enjoying greater fuel economy with this lightweight, new generation, all-aluminum engine. A zesty drive awaits with maximum power of 102kW(138PS) at 5,200rpm and maximum torque of 196Nm at 4,800rpm.
XTRONIC CVT
The Qashqai is fitted with Nissan's Xtronic CVT M6, a continuously variable transmission with a six-speed manual shift mode. It comes with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) function adjusts shift timing according to the driver's personal driving style and driving environment, optimizing both performance and fuel economy.
SUSPENSION
MacPherson-strut front, multi-link rear independent suspension and high-speed damping-control shock absorbers help smooth out the bumps, twists and turns.
STEERING
EPS (electric power steering system) optimises steering assist based on driving conditions, for smooth, responsive handling and reduced fuel consumption.
CONSTANT DRAG
Advanced simulation programs, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), helped NISSAN engineers to optimize the Qashqai's aerodynamics to achieve an excellent constant drag (CD) rating of 0.35 for better fuel efficiency and reduced wind noise.
