This makes the C-segment SUV the undisputed flagship of the brand ahead of the model Juke with only 5.000 examples in the same period. Qashqai it has been on the market since 2021 and even the strong competition in this vehicle class is not sleeping. What is changing? Pretty much!

At the rear, only the internal design of the rear lights has changed. Their profile remains the same.

Because external dimensions and the wheelbase have not changed, the shape of the interior has not changed either. However, some things have changed. "Tekna” is equipped with new fabric seats and satin chrome inserts, accompanied by inserts from Alcantara on the dashboard, armrests and center console. For version “Tekna +” the shape of the seats changes. "N-Design” offers a leather-Alcantara combination.
More help, more connectivity
Most of the innovations in the interior Qashqai refers to security technology and connectivity: system Around View Monitor with four cameras, it provides better visibility, with the front camera now having a viewing angle of 200 degrees. You can choose up to eight views. There is also a way to “invisible engine cover", in which the position of the wheels is graphically displayed.
In addition, an adaptive shutdown function has been introduced assistance systems, called "custom way to assist the driver". With this, the operation of some security systems adapt to your driving style and thus make them less intrusive. Assistant for reversing, an intelligent assistant for speed and data logging (sort of a digital black box) are now standard equipment on all versions, also due to legal requirements. Infotainment system now based on Google services and can be controlled by voice control via the “Hey Google". Apple CarPlay and Android Auto they work wirelessly. Nissan also offers a new app as a subscription “NissanConnect Services App” with remote control functions.
Same drives

This means it is available 1,3 liter turbo petrol engine with mild hybrid technology and power 140 or 158 hp (the latter also with Xtronic automatic transmission and four-wheel drive as an option) and drive E-Power, which combines pure electric drive with 190 HP with the gasoline engine as the generator in the vehicle. In this case, only the front wheels are supplied with electricity via the continuously variable transmission.
Price list new Nissan Qashqai it hasn't been announced yet, but its starting price will apparently be higher than its predecessor. This is probably because the new model series is giving up equipment "Visia” and begins directly with “Agency", i.e. with more comprehensive standard equipment.
