8 Thursday June 29 2023 Incorporating best motorbuys www.drivesouth.co.nz Nissan’s Qashqai a strong performer THE QASHQAI compact urban SUV, with its inventive fuel-saving low emission hybrid technology, is a breakthrough model for Nissan in this part of the world. In Europe and the UK, they love the Qashqai. On this side of the world it is, at best, a steady seller. The company is expecting big things from this latest model, offering a big step up in refinement, safety and technology – and unfortunately prices, compared to the vehicle it replaces. Affordability could be an issue with the entry level ST kicking off at $45,990 – $8000 more than the outgoing model. There’s no hiding the fact this is a big increase over the previous version, even allowing for major advances on every front. The new Qashqai offers plenty of technology, leading edge Motoring with Bob Nettleton safety features, and a more sophisticated multi-link rear suspension set-up across every model. There’s more variety in the powertrain department, with a new and feisty 1.3-litre turbo petrol, and the option of Nissan’s innovative e-POWER hybrid system. This carries a $7000 price premium over the turbo petrol motor. Petrol, not e-power, dominates the six-strong model range, comprising four petrol variants starting with the $45,995 ST and stretching all the way to $56,990 for the flagship Ti-L. E power is limited to the upmarket Ti and Ti-L priced at $59,990 and $65,680 respectively. The latter was supplied for this road test. Second-generation e-POWER technology pairs the effortless acceleration and the refined performance of an electric motor. It’s a strong high-energy performer with 140kw of power and 330nm of torque to take command of most driving scenarios. Thanks to a pure electric motor, there’s none of the powerdelivery hesitancy associated with an internal combustion engine or traditional hybrid setups. Instant response provides a high-torque feel and exhilarating acceleration, on lower fuel use and emissions. The e-POWER system delivers its torque almost instantly, enhancing the vehicle’s responsiveness. A new-generation CVT (Constant Variable Transmission) has three drive modes – Eco, Normal and Sport – and is a huge improvement on the lethargic CVT that blunted the performance of the previous model. For a compact SUV, this one is roomier than most with plenty of passenger and load space. There’s a panoramic glass roof and electric sunshade. Cabin technology features a 10.8-inch colour head-up display, and a premium 10-speaker BOSE audio system. A motion activated tailgate is great if you’re juggling an armful of groceries in the supermarket car park. Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety features are impressive. It includes intelligent cruise control and forward emergency braking, plus pedestrian, cyclist and junction detection capabilities. High beam assist makes DIY dipping of your headlights at night for oncoming traffic a thing of the past. A lot of hype surrounds the new Qashqai’s advanced multi-link rear suspension. The upside with this suspension set-up is a stronger connection between driver, vehicle and road, and that’s a good thing. Wellcontrolled body-roll, comfort and the effective isolation of road noise and vibrations from the passenger compartment are among the best in the compact urban SUV class.
