In terms of appearance, the new Qashqai adopts Nissan's latest "V-Motion" family design language, inverted trapezoidal grille and internal long strip elements, split headlights, etc. to make it look sharper and improve recognition. The side is designed with subductive lines, the tail is equipped with a number of irregular elements, and the plate frame is in the middle, which looks very compact.

The 1.5T three-cylinder engine with variable compression ratio technology has a power of 156 horsepower, which has far exceeded the parameters of the previous 1.2T engine, and the total output of the new Qashqa e-POWER is 188 horsepower, which is significantly improved in the power level. In addition, Qashqa e-POWER is driven by an electric motor, and the engine is not directly involved in the vehicle drive, which also enables the new car to have better response speed when starting and accelerating.
The compression ratio of a 1.5T three-cylinder engine varies between 8:1 and 14:1, and under high demand for power, a lower compression ratio is activated when charging the battery or directly supplying power to the motor, thus maximizing the power output of the engine.
