The model
Read full Nissan Qashqai reviewThe Nissan Qashqai is a strong contender in the family SUV class, although it doesn't quite beat the all-round package offered by the Skoda Karoq and Kia Sportage. We reckon the middle of the range N-Connecta 140 trim is where the best value lies because the cheaper trims (especially Visia) are stingily equipped and range-topping models are rather pricey.
The trim

We reckon cheaper N-Connecta trim represents better value for money, though.
The engine
See full engine specsDespite being the most powerful and fastest version of the Qashqai, e-Power still manages to be the most efficient. That’s because, while it has a 1.5-litre petrol engine under its bonnet, it’s only used to charge a battery which, In turn, distributes the power to the wheels through an electric motor. It’s an interesting system and is aimed at those that want an EV but still want to fill up at the green pump.
