2025 NISSAN QASHQAI TEKNA E-POWER AUTO

The Nissan Qashqai ePower uses an innovative hybrid system where a 1.5litre petrol engine acts as a generator for an electric motor that drives the wheels. You dont plug it in the petrol engine charges the battery which then powers the electric motor for smooth, EVstyle propulsion and responsive acceleration. The ePower unit produces around 190bhp, with a 062mph time near 7.9seconds and a top speed of about 105mph in Tekna trim. It also achieves a WLTP combined fuel figure close to 53mpg with CO around 119g/km in everyday use. Practicality and Interior Space The Qashqais cabin and cargo area are well thought out for family life. Boot capacity is around 479litres with rear seats in place, and folding them down expands load space substantially for larger items. Passenger space is comfortable for adults, with generous headroom and legroom in both rows, while storage bins and cubbies around the cabin help organise everyday items. Trim Level and Equipment (Tekna) The Tekna specification sits at the top of the range and brings a premium interior and tech focus, typically including: 12.3inch touchscreen with connected navigation and infotainment ProPILOT Assist with adaptive cruise control Around View Monitor with 360degree parking camera Heated front seats and dualzone climate control Intelligent key with walkaway lock and remote functions Stylish 19inch alloys and exterior enhancements on many examples This level of equipment makes the Qashqai feel wellequipped compared with many rivals in its segment, giving good value and comfort for daily use. Driving Experience On the move, the ePower system delivers a smooth and responsive drive, thanks to the electric motors instant torque. The petrol engine rarely feels intrusive, especially around town, and the lack of a traditional gearbox creates a seamless driving experience that many owners enjoy. Refinement and cabin quietness have been improved in recent updates, making long motorway journeys more pleasant, and the hybrid setup is tailored to make the most of efficiency without sacrificing performance.
