QASHQAI e-POWER Ti – Nissan updated their smaller SUV earlier this year and included a hybrid version of top model. This is called the Nissan QASHQAI e-POWER Ti.
It’s priced from around fifty-one and a half thousand dollars, which is a premium of a bit over four thousand dollars over the next petrol-based model.
Like its bigger brother the X-Trail e-power, the QASHQAI is a hybrid with a difference. It drives more like an EV with the 1.5 litre petrol engine used to charge the on-board battery first and provide a backup.
Economy is rated at around 5.2L litre per 100 kilometres and we got a touch over that on our test. It’s also relatively quiet and smooth to drive with reasonable performance.
The QASHQAI Ti is quite comfortable inside, with lots of added comfort features. One thing I did like are the heated front seats with a gentle massage function. Also, there is a huge central touch screen, equally large drivers instrument cluster and a clear head up display.
Overall the Nissan QASHQAI hybrid is a welcome addition to the range of smaller Hybrid SUVs.
