Nissan Qashqai revealed
Nissan has unveiled the third generation of the Nissan Qashqai crossover, which gets an all-new look, a posher interior with more space and updated infotainment, as well as getting updated infotainment and four-wheel drive.
On the outside, the new Qashqai’s enhanced body stance is more purposeful, with prominent shoulder lines, an extended wheelbase and imposing 20-inch alloy wheels introduced to Qashqai for the first time.
Inside, the new Qashqai offers an advanced infotainment system with connected services including effortless integration of smartphones, in-car WiFi for up to seven devices and NissanConnect Services, a dedicated app with which to interact with and monitor the vehicle.
The larger, higher resolution 9 inch NissanConnect display screen has AndroidAuto and Apple CarPlay, while a new high-definition, 12.3 inch TFT multi-information screen offers a choice of configurable layouts to display navigation, entertainment, traffic or vehicle information.
You also get a new 10.8-inch Head-Up Display (HUD)– the biggest-in-segment. It projects information on navigation, driver assistance and road conditions onto the windscreen.
Interior space has also increased. The longer wheelbase of the new Qashqai combines with efficient packaging to create even more room for users. Knee room for rear occupants has grown by 28mm to 608mm, with more distance created between driver and front passenger. Front and rear headroom has increased by 15mm thanks to the small increase in exterior dimensions.
A powered hands-free tailgate makes accessing the boot easy. Overall luggage capacity has increased by over 50-litres from the previous generation model thanks in part to the cargo floor being lowered by 20mm as a consequence of the improved packaging of the rear suspension.
In terms of engines, the new Nissan Qashqai will not only be available with a 1.3 DiG-T petrol equipped with mild hybrid technology – offering either 140 or 158PS – but it also gets Nissan's 190PS e-POWER full hybrid. You can also choose 2WD and 4WD, as well as a six-speed manual or CVT automatic gearboxes.

Nissan Qashqai launch model priced from £29,270
Nissan has confirmed on-the-road pricing and personal contract (PCP) offers for the limited-availability launch version of the third-generation Nissan Qashqai.
Premiere Edition models will be offered from £29,270 for the 1.3 DiG-T 140PS Mild Hybrid Manual (6-speed), or £31,790 for the 1.3 DiG-T Mild Hybrid 158PS Xtronic automatic model.
A limited number of Premiere Edition versions will be available to UK customers, with deliveries beginning in the summer.
Showcasing the advanced technology available on the all-new Qashqai, the Premiere Edition offers unprecedented convenience features normally found in upper automotive segments.
The central 9” screen houses Nissan’s upgraded infotainment system, while an additional 12.3” TFT configurable screen sits in front of the driver, replacing the traditional dials.
To complement the high definition TFT screen, the driver will also benefit from a 10.8-inch Head-Up Display (HUD), the largest in the segment, offering speed, navigation directions and road information directly in the driver’s line-of-sight. Taking into account the two screens, and the head-up display – the driver has easy and convenient access to key information while driving.
Additional convenience comes in the form of a wireless charging pad, allowing occupants to easily charge their smartphones. At 15w, the wireless charging unit is among the most powerful in the segment. And while the smartphone is charging wirelessly, suitably equipped iPhones can connect to the Qashqai via wireless Apple CarPlay®, allowing seamless usage of many of the phone’s apps. Additional connectivity is available for all occupants, with a total of 4 USB charging ports, with 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports.
A lot of the technological updates on the new Qashqai work quietly in the background, acting as an extra pair of eyes.
The Premiere Edition Qashqai will be available with the newly upgraded ProPILOT with Navi-link*, which brings greater driver support in a wider array of circumstances, for great peace of mind in all driving scenarios.
At night, the driver will appreciate the LED matrix headlights that are equipped with advanced driving beam technology. The headlights emit a strong, bright beam with a large range, giving excellent visibility. When an approaching vehicle is detected, the beam effectively changes shape to have the effect of putting the oncoming vehicle in a shadow, so the driver isn’t dazzled, but the rest of the road remains clearly illuminated.
The styling has always been at the heart of the success of the Qashqai, and the appeal of the Qashqai Premiere Edition has been elevated thanks to the introduction of a palette of two-tone colour options for a more personalised choice.
The following body colours are available with a striking black roof: new blue, pearl grey and pearl white, while the black body colour is available with a grey roof. The Premiere Edition also features neatly integrated roof rails, which are finished in a matt silver.
Additional aesthetic appeal comes in the form of new 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, which complement the new Qashqai’s stance, which is more purposeful thanks to the longer wheelbase and sharp shoulder lines over the wheels.
Life-on-board is given an airy feel thanks to the panoramic roof, with a powered sliding blind to protect occupants on hot and sunny days.
The interior follows a classic format, with black cloth trim, black dashboard and centre console, which combine to give the interior an air of refinement and pedigree, while a grey roof trim prevents the overall ambience from being oppressive. The grey roof lining also reinforces the additional interior head, knee and shoulder space that has been generated thanks to the longer wheelbase and smart packaging of the CMF-C platform.
The new Qashqai Premiere Edition is powered by a highly evolved iteration of the 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine found on the current Qashqai. However, Nissan’s engineers have developed it to include mild hybrid technology which enhances its efficiency. Thanks to the addition of a secondary Lithium-ion battery system, the new Qashqai offers extended idle stop, quicker restart and coasting stop (automatic only).
The system will even boost torque under acceleration, offering an additional 6Nm for up to 20 seconds.
The 1.3-litre engine in the Premiere Edition is available in two configurations: 138hp with six-speed manual gearbox, or 156hp coupled with Nissan’s advanced Xtronic gearbox, which is operated via the new, convenient gear selector on the centre console. Additionally, manual control of the Xtronic can be managed via paddles behind the steering wheel.

Revised Nissan Qashqai priced from £25,505
The Qashqai will now adopt Nissan’s smart new corporate identity, with the manufacturer’s recently introduced new logo appearing on the front and back of the vehicle, wheel caps and the centre of the steering wheel.
The rear bumper changes in colour, going from light grey to a darker shade, while LED front fog lights will become standard on top-of-the-range Tekna+ trim level models (previously an option).
Inside, a 12.3-inch navigation screen will be fitted as standard from N-Connecta trim level and above – an increase in size of 3.3 inches over the current version.
N-Connecta grade has had both its 12.3” TFT screen and the Glass Roof Pack (optional extra consisting of a glass roof and roof rails and priced at £650) reintroduced to its line up.

Nissan Qashqai e-Power priced from £32,950
The e-Power system uses a high-output battery combined with a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine generating 190PS, a power generator, inverter and 140kW electric motor of similar size and power output as found in Nissan’s electric vehicles. The petrol engine generates electricity, which can be transmitted via the inverter to the battery pack, the electric motor or both, according to the driving scenario.
What sets this powertrain apart is that the electric motor is the sole source of power for the wheels, so its response is instant and linear. Unlike traditional hybrids, there's no direct link between the petrol engine and the wheels. The advantage of this, says Nissan, is that you can enjoy the same refined driving experience associated with a pure-EV (but without the need to recharge).
Customer deliveries will start in September and the order bank will open on 5th July.

Nissan introduces refreshed Qashqai, including new N-Design trim
Having sold 350,000 units in Europe since 2021, the Nissan Qashqai has received a comprehensive aesthetic refresh, as well as significant technology updates, to keep it on the pace with its rivals.
The front grille of the Qashqai has been comprehensively updated, while there new headlights, taillights, rear bumpers and paint finishes all designed to keep the Qashqai looking fresh. New designs of 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels also feature.
A new addition to the line-up is the Qashqai N-Design, which features body coloured areas below the doors and the wheelarches, and new 20-inch wheels.
On the inside for the Qashqai N-Design and Tekna+ upper grades, there's Alcantara trim, plus new patterned materials and updated seat trims for upper three grades of Qashqai for an even more premium feel. The Qashqai also benefits from ambient lighting on the N-Connecta, N-Design grades and above.
As for technology, the Qashqai gets an improved Around View Monitor [AVM] system that now features 3D graphics to better assist with various manoeuvres. There's also updated calibrations and features for the Qashqai's advanced driver assistance systems, including a custom mode that allows drivers to tailor the level of intervention from the different assistance systems.
The refreshed Qashqai is the first vehicle in Nissan’s European range with Google built-in, allowing drivers to use Google Maps, Google Assistant and more on the move.
The updated Qashqai is now in production at Nissan Sunderland Plant, where more than 1.3 million units have been built since the original was launched in 2007.

Updated Nissan Qashqai available to order now with prices starting from £30,135
Nissan's fully overhauled Qashqai is now available to order. Featuring a new look, new tech and a new N-Design trim level, prices for the updated Qashqai start from £30,135.
To ensure the new Qashqai stands out from the crowd, the new car features new front and rear bumper designs, new lights, new 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheel designs and new paint colours.
Updated interior trim, new material choices and the option of ambient lighting on higher trim grades freshen up the Qashqai's cabin, too.
Improved technology includes an upgraded Around View Monitor system with a 3D function, while Google is now built into the infotainment system.
The Qashqai continues to be offered with the e-POWER hybrid powertrain. This differs from others as the three-cylinder engine acts solely to generate electricity, and doesn't drive the wheels directly. The wheels are powered by electric motors.
