Nissan strikes with the new e-POWER engine. An unprecedented engine, which is installed on the crossover of the Japanese brand Nissan Qashqai. Equally popular in France, this car is even more versatile thanks to the e-POWER version.

An unprecedented hybrid engine

The e-POWER engine is not just a hybrid engine. Heat is now at the service of electricity. Therefore, traction is 100% electric, the gasoline engine is used only to power the battery and the electric motor directly. No need to worry about running out of battery or looking for a terminal, Qashqai ePOWER not loading Power comes directly from a 158-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. All you have to do is fill your tank of course to take advantage of electric technology and its benefits.

Innovative heat/electricity combination

To be specific, the e-POWER engine works as follows. There is a 3-cylinder gasoline engine with a capacity of 158 hp. This is an electric motor with a capacity of 190 hp. (140 kW), which, therefore, will provide traction for the car. The engine block is accompanied by a high-performance battery, as well as a generator and an inverter. This engine provides a torque of 330 Nm.

Low consumption for great autonomy

When you hear the word hybrid, you expect fuel economy or at least reduced consumption. The Qashqai e-POWER confirms this, consuming just 5.3 l/100 km in the WLTP combined cycle. The intelligence of the e-POWER system allows you to avoid situations of overspeeding and, therefore, excessive consumption. Thanks to this efficiency, the Qashqai e-POWER offers a range of more than 1,000 km.

Which makes it a benchmark in the segment.

Improved driving experience

Electrical characteristics of Qashqai ePOWER will further improve the experience of driving this crossover. When accelerating or climbing, the reaction is instantaneous. This provides a smooth driving experience that is very enjoyable every day.

Nissan also did not forget about the sound insulation of the car, in particular thanks to the Linear Tune system, which allows you to adapt the engine speed to the real needs of the car. So Qashqai ePOWER avoids any excessive rotation, which additionally improves passenger comfort. For thrill-seekers, the electric motor also offers excellent pick-up.

Smart features for power management

Nissan also installed the system e-Pedal Step. This allows you to drive the vehicle using only the accelerator pedal. When the driver releases the pedal, the car slows down to a speed of 10 km/h, allowing the battery to be charged. The brake pedal remains necessary for sharper braking and, therefore, for a complete stop of the car.
Very easy to learn, this technology also allows you to enjoy a 100% electric experience. This results in a more or less existing system that adapts very well to urban traffic.

Therefore, Qashqai e-POWER turns out to be a full-fledged SUV, very technological, but, above all, easy to drive.
Indeed, it will not ask the user to change their habits.
Finally, a range of more than 1,000 km will make the Qashqai e-POWER a great car for long journeys.
