New Nissan Qashqai with e-POWER: Test Drive & Review. The Ultimate Engine and Battery Performance!

- Ideal for urban driving, the Nissan Qashqai e-POWER offers you a smoother, quieter and, above all, more fuel-efficient drive thanks to its EV mode and e-Pedal Step technology.
A technology unique to Nissan. e-POWER uses a petrol engine to charge a battery and that alone drives an electric motor, powering the wheels. It responds similarly to an electric car, providing instant torque and also has lower tailpipe emissions and running costs compared to a traditional combustion engine, but without the need to plug it in. In addition to the petrol engine, e-POWER also uses regenerative braking to help keep the battery topped up. Here is our General Sales Manager Aaron taking it out for the first spin! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
My wife has just got one and as a truck person im really impressed.
Fantastic review, thank you. I've had an extended test drive of the 1.3 manual Tekna and love it, can't wait to put my order in for the exact same model you have just reviewed.
Nice review, but you'd make me a nervous passenger with the hands free approach! I get mine this week.
yeah hands on the wheel sunshine
Nice clear review well done
Thanks for the review. I have my Tekna + epower arriving the 1st week of November! Really looking forward to being one of the first owners of this amazing car. 👍
That's amazing Garry! We hope you enjoy yours!
How are you liking it so far?
Good review👌
Glad you liked it
got mine coming in November👍👍
Amazing Feri! Hope you enjoy yours!
Hello, my name is Anthony. I currently drive a 2011 Toyota Auris diesel and I am considering buying a hybrid. I am interested in the Qashqai e-power but would it be possible that you upload a video of what the engine sounds like with the bonnet open on a cold morning. Basically a cold start.
Super! That's why i bought it ;)
Is there much more room in the X trail compared with the Qashqui
?
Hopefully mine will be coming November🤞
Fingers crossed for you!
I'm wondering why they don't sell Qashqai in Japan. What a beautiful car.
I would consider this but I am not sure it would fit in my garage
We've ordered the tekna today, but why didn't you put your seat belt on, Naughty boy! 😊
Great video, but keep your hands on the wheel!
My wife is disabled, and because she has the highest rate of PIP for both care and mobility we take advantage of the Motability scheme. We are on our 3rd Qashqai this one being the Tekna. Now we have a decision to make next year. The standard Tekna has introduced the one thing my wife really wanted and that's an automatic boot. The E-power on the scheme, is only available in N connecta trim so doesn't have a few of the luxuries the Tekna does BUT, the advance payment for the E power is £1000 less, so this has really given us a dilemma. What do you guys think? Great review, enjoyed watching it.
Personally I would put your needs first, if you think that the power tailgate will enhance your vehicle experience I would go for that!
If you look on the Motability website they do offer the E-Power in the Tekna. It is a higher advance payment though which is £3,199. So around £900-£1100 more than the N-Connecta depending on whether you’d have the glass roof option or not.
@@AmiiChappell Sorry but here in the UK the E-power is NOT offered as a Tekna version. The n-connecta is either £2799 or £3099 depending on the glass roof option. Happy New Year
I stand corrected. I have just got a new Nissan price list(1st Jan - 31st Mar 2023 they come out 4 times a year) and you are absolutely right the e-power is now offered in Tekna spec.
@@WayneM1961 that’s great, you can have the best of both now :)
I have older the new qashqai here in cyprus but not the e-power (the gas one) at 1/05 and I expecting it around 1/01/2023..do you know if I take it with the new infotenment or the old one?
Any new car should have the new infotainment system Trolias 😀
@@holdcroftnissan3395 even if I order it 01/05 and I don’t leave in the uk?
Great review! Could you please tell me what's average fuel consumption at 120kmph? Is it more efficient at higher speeds than 1.3 158KM?
It is more efficient, you do need to learn a different style of driving to make the most of it!
Does it come with a spacesaver spare wheel. Living in rural area i get my fair share of punctures. Also how much is the vechile tax pef year ?
No spare wheel I'm afraid, you do get full European RAC cover instead, tax is the standard vehicle rate, currently £155 per year 😀
I'm thinking to buy one is this got the auto hold system
Yes it does 😍
Any news on delivery? We are nearly into November and Nissan are very evasive?
They are coming through, we are expecting a large amount in November and December
@@holdcroftnissan3395 Brilliant thanks
What price is the one in this video, the power train seems superb.
I think the electronics must be rather complex and reliant on much coputerisation. Ok as long as there are no glitches.
@@cynic150ePower has been around for years in the Japanese market, it’s known tech
Does the n connecta have a head up display?
It doesn't I'm afraid!
Really enjoyed the video - thank you. However, despite me using the vehicle for mainly URBAN driving - I also cover long (400 mile) motorway journeys every 6-8 weeks. How would this work with the MPG and components? Would it be a case that by driving around the 70mph on motorways, that the electric side of things aren't used and you depend on the petrol?
Also, are you saying the petrol is used for the motor to charge the battery only - thank you.
Hi Jeff, the engine only ever powers the battery, it is always an electric motor that turns the wheels under amy circumstances
@@holdcroftnissan3395 .. thank you - understood and much appreciated for the swift response. Have you any official MPG figures of real life driving because it states around 53.3 MPG.
However, aren't these usually much lower on everyday roads and traffic etc. I'm really interested in this vehicle because it's the next step up to the future of driving!
I've been a DIESEL driver since 1998, so I have to adapt to a completely new style of driving these EV/Hybrid vehicles! There's so much information to take on board but these videos are fantastic 👍
Read the brochure, engine only charges battery, no connection to wheels,
@@jeffsmith559I had an X-trail ePower rental in Iceland for a week. Unfavourable conditions as it was both cold (so not optimal for the battery) and it was the AWD e4orce variant so already more thirsty but I was getting 42-45mpg pretty consistently, and I’m no slow coach. Such a nice smooth drive, will likely ask for a Qashqai ePower as next company car.
the generator is in the front, ..7.54
Can provide the specs does this comes only with 3 cylinders ?
the problem is this is it only comes with a 2kwh battery and no plug in
Good review , also put your seatbelt on 😮
It is on you can see it in some shots, just from the camera angle makes it look like it isn’t
Is it more efficient than 1.3 158hp?
From testing we are averaging around 51mpg at the moment!
@@holdcroftnissan3395 4.6l/100kmh.. holy sht! That's impressive
I'm struggling to see any mpg figures that impress me. My wife has a 2021 Honda Jazz cross star that gets 66 mpg on local school runs and shopping only. So 50-55 mpg ain't great .
Still confused as to mpg….or electric equivalent. My current Qashqai has achieved 52 mpg on a long run. I am struggling to appreciate what is the benefit of changing to e-power
You will get better MPG plus also the engine isn't always running. Another benefit is the regenerative braking will use the brakes less too
Drive one!
Ive had the e-power since November last year and I am getting roughly 52 mpg and I don't drive it hard. Driving in EV gives you practically nothing milage wise. Saying though it is THE BEST CAR I have ever driven, I traded in a top of the range Insignia estate for it and the 2 don't compare.
It’s quiet and the driving experience as well.
Only 1 point. Keep your hands on the steering wheel! In reference to that does lane assist physically keep you in the lane or is it just a warning? Recently experienced lane assist on a Subaru that kept the vehicle in the lane, gives a new meaning to hands free.
Hey, I might be a bit late to answer, but as no one else has I'll do it for anyone else wondering. I have the previous generation of Qashqai with lane assist, so I'm assuming it is the same. Lane assist will beep when your crossing lane markings without indicating. If you're indicating it will realise this is probably a motorway lane change, and so won't warn you. However, if you drive using lane assist with the radar cruise control on, it will make minor adjustments to the wheel on your behalf to keep you centred in the lane, really useful for motorway driving. Haven't ever used this around town, but I don't think many people will cruise control around town. Anyway, I hope that's of some help to you.
did you mean : standard, eco and sport. Not standard, normal, and eco
is there any available?
Chris, we can get them as early as november!
@@holdcroftnissan3395 thanks. I'll sort a test drive
Does it need a steering wheel as you don’t seem to have your hands on it very much😂
Hands are on more than most drivers! 😂
Only worries: expensive maintenance, repairs and reliability.
"It uses the battery to brake." Eh?
As the drive is entirely by an electric motor, when you lift off the go pedal the car's inertia then drives that motor's energy use in reverse and it becomes a generator. That causes the car to slow down as the captured energy is returned to the battery. It feels like you have used the brake pedal but you haven't - so the brake pads last a lot longer. Regenerative braking.
Whatever you are paying this guy, give him a *massive* pay rise.
full polluting ev, a proud achievement...oh nissan don't you understand the plug in bit is the cheap to run bit.
wow this is noisy
So it's an electric car 100% powered by petrol? Pointless really.
Not really, it gives better MPG, electricity isn't free...... Also an electric car as amazing as they are aren't for everybody, catering for everyone means doing many things in different ways
Is the cabin heat instant ( from battery) or do you have to wait for the engine ?
Can anyone answer this question please
@@simonmidgley9128 Heats up very quickly, uses battery so long as there's sufficient charge. If not, need to wait a moment for ICE to kick in.
Thanks for letting me know 🙂
