Nissan Qashqai gains updated e-power hybrid powertrain
Nissan says the powertrain provides “superior fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions” compared with a regular ICE car. According to the firm, drivers can expect a combined figure of 53mpg.
Nissan expects Qashqai e-Power drivers to spend almost three quarters of their time in urban or suburban areas. The car features a one-pedal driving system to accommodate this, which brakes at a force of 0.2g - enough to illuminate the brake lights. The car doesn’t stop completely but can recuperate energy under deceleration and braking.
“We’ve developed the e-Power system to run as efficiently, effectively and discreetly as possible in those circumstances,” said David Moss, senior vice-president of research and development at Nissan’s European technical centre. “But there's no compromise to the driving performance. Acceleration is instant, thanks to the pure-electric drive to the wheels, and there's no gearbox to interrupt the power delivery.
The Qashqai will retain its 1.3-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine option alongside the new e-Power system, with two available power outputs of 136bhp and 153bhp. Nissan hasn't yet revealed pricing information for the Qashqai e-Power but has confirmed that the powertrain will be introduced “late in the summer”.
