ICYMI: Nissan's new Qashqai e-Power promises low emissions and running costs – here's why it could tempt buyers away from conventional hybrid models.
Both types of car rely on a mix of petrol and electricity, but the key difference with a range extender is that the engine doesn't power the wheels directly. Instead, its job is simply to generate electricity for the batteries and motor.
Average fuel economy should be comparable with that of conventional hybrids; the Qashqai e-Power is expected to achieve around 53mpg when it's put through the official test. However, Nissan claims that the e-Power is quieter than a hybrid, because its engine is able to run at lower revs when starting up and accelerating.
