A mild hybrid shows enhanced SUV fuel efficiency can also increase the fun of the drive . The mild hybrid system features a lithium battery that stores energy recovered during braking. That stored power lets the engine shut down at low speed (below 18 kph & CVT ONLY) or at a stop to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce overall CO2 emissions [1]. Furthermore, aluminium has been used on the doors, bonnet & wings to reduce weight and improve performance.

Choose your fun. Take full command of your Qashqai with the slick shifting 6-speed manual transmission. If you prefer Automatic, Qashqai’s next-generation Xtronic Continuous Variable Transmission gives you a smooth connected drive, while steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters let you enjoy greater control.

Qashqai's Intelligent AWD seamlessly transfers power to give you confidence and control.  On challenging surfaces, power to front and rear wheels improves grip. On smooth roads, the system sends power to the front wheels for higher efficency. And with 5 drive modes to choose from, Qashqai can help you get the most out of any situation.

Qashqai with future e-POWER powertrain [2] drives the wheels full-time by an electric motor, providing instant accleration along with a whisper-quiet ride.  Unlike traditional hybrid cars which use the petrol engine to drive the wheels, with e-POWER powertrain the petrol engine is used to generate electricity (stored in the battery & used by the electric motor), giving you good range along with silent performance.
