Qashqai is no stranger to domestic consumers, as one of Nissan's best-selling models in the SUV market, from the introduction of the first generation of Qashqai in 2008 to 2018, Qashqai has completed the achievement of selling more than one million in 10 years. The current Qashqai is still the second generation of models listed in 2015, and it is already a veteran who has been fighting for six years.
However, in recent days, Nissan has also officially announced a new generation of Nissan Qashqai equipped with e-POWER power, according to the plan, the new car will be the first to be listed in Europe, and then it will most likely enter the Chinese market in the form of domestic production together with the new Qashqai.
A new design language that resembles a trumpet
In the past, most people would not have had too deep impressions of Nissan's designs, although not ugly but not so trendy, more decent. Since the new generation of X-Trail, it can be clearly seen that Nissan's design changes have become more technological and futuristic, which is also the trend of current automobile design.
On the Qashqai e-POWER, you can also see design elements similar to the new generation of X-Trail, such as split headlights, which also indicates that more Nissan models will adopt similar designs in the future. The interior of the grille is also embellished by dot matrix bright black trim, and the V-shaped trim strips on both sides use chrome and bright black colors similar to e-POWER Xuanyi, and the overall sense of layering is stronger.
The side shape of the new car is very compact, and the black contrast roof color, the exterior mirrors and side window trim are also bright black, with the uplift waist line and window line, creating a stronger sports atmosphere for the new car. In addition, the new car is equipped with a large five-spoke whirlwind wheel, and the suspension roof design also adds a strong sense of fashion.
The tail is complemented by a number of irregular elements, and the plate frame is in the middle, which looks very compact. In the details there is also the exclusive logo of "e-POWER" to prove its hybrid identity.
The new power of "more pure electricity than hybrid"
For Qashqai e-POWER, the most noteworthy thing is in the power. At last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Dongfeng Nissan unveiled China's first model equipped with e-POWER technology.
E-POWER technology has actually appeared as early as 15 years ago, in 2007, e-POWER technology was first installed on the Qida car, after three years, e-POWER technology was once again mounted on the Leaf, and now after up to 15 years of technical precipitation, it is mounted on Xuanyi, with the reputation of "more pure electricity than hybrid".
Today, Qashqai will also be equipped with e-POWER hybrid technology, and unlike e-POWER Xuanyi, the range extender of Qashqai e-POWER is a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, and the parameters are far superior to the 1.2L three-cylinder engine of e-POWER Xuanyi.
It is reported that the 1.5T three-cylinder engine equipped with Qashqa e-POWER has Nissan's unique variable compression ratio technology, and the compression ratio can be changed between 8:1 and 14:1 to meet different needs. The engine displacement is a little larger, the maximum power of the motor has also come to 190Ps, the maximum torque is 330N·m, such parameters have been in line with many 2.0T engines.
In addition, Qashqa e-POWER is also equipped with Nissan's newly developed Linear Tune system, which can monitor the working status of the drive motor and engine in real time, which is officially said to make the driving experience of the vehicle closer to that of traditional fuel vehicles.
As for the specific fuel consumption performance, the official has not yet disclosed. Referring to the current domestic e-POWER Xuanyi, the actual performance is indeed good, many car owners feedback e-POWER Xuanyi's actual fuel consumption is less than 4L/100km, I believe that the fuel consumption of Qashqa e-POWER will not be too high. In this era of soaring oil prices, Qashqai e-POWER undoubtedly has a strong competitiveness.
Write at the end:
This new technology of "more pure electricity than hybrid" will launch 7 e-POWER models in the Chinese automotive market by 2025, further enriching the layout of e-POWER models. Qashqa e-POWER is the second hybrid model launched after e-POWER Xuanyi, the future nissan in the new car in china is also based on hybrid and pure electricity, the era of fuel vehicles for Nissan seems to have become a thing of the past.
