It’s got the kind of style that says, I’m cool, but I don’t need to prove it, and that’s something we can all appreciate.

The exterior is sleek, with clean lines and a grille that says, I know what I’m doing. Inside, it’s comfortable, with a decent 9-inch touchscreen, but here’s the thing—you don’t need to become best friends with your smartphone to use it. Nissans smartly included actual physical buttons for things like climate control, volume, and tuning. In the world of endless touchscreens, it’s refreshing to feel a button under your fingers. Call it a throwback to a time when you didn’t have to swipe and tap your way through every function. You know, when the car just… worked.

Performance-wise, the QASHQAI e-POWER is solid. The 190 horsepower hybrid system won’t break any speed records, but it’ll certainly get you where you need to go. It’s smooth around town and efficient, with a fuel consumption of about 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres. You won’t have to think twice about refuelling every time you hit the road.

As for features, it’s got the usual suspects—adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist—but also adds semi-autonomous driving mode for when you just want to let go of the wheel (metaphorically, of course). It’s a handy feature for the daily grind, but don’t expect it to take over your life just yet.

So, is the QASHQAI e-POWER game-changing? Not really. But it’s the kind of car that makes sense. Practical, easy to live with, and yes, you can actually use the buttons while driving—no need for an engineering degree.

There are four main models with the petrol engine. Nissan has introduced their version of a hybrid motor – the e-power, to the two top spec models., The TI-L and N- Design.

I drove the T-i version last week. This sits almost in the middle of the range yet comes with many unexpected standard features that were appreciated.

Overall, the upgrades are aimed at making the QASHQAI more comfortable and keeping the styling fresh.

One thing that the new model has is a longer wheelbase. This allows more room all around, though being a smaller SUV rear leg room is still a touch restricted for taller passengers. Likewise, a baby seat will be cramped. Boot space is reasonable for two larger style bags.

Inside, the TI comes with wireless smart phone mirroring as well as charging, and heated front seats and steering wheel, which have been needed. The new larger central screen makes a big difference to the overall feel, as does the ambient lighting at nighttime.

The T-I comes with a smaller turbocharged petrol engine with a CVT. It works well around town. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to head out of town this time.

The Nissan QASHQAI Ti is priced from around $43,000 dollars plus the usual costs.
