New Nissan Qashqai Kuro Edition with e-POWER

Following the introduction of the innovative e-POWER powertrain on Qashqai last year, Nissan has developed a special version of its iconic third generation crossover to give the vehicle a striking new look.

“Customers are responding incredibly well to Qashqai e-POWER, they are enjoying the smoothness of the electric drive and the convenience of a petrol engine which recharges the battery on the go. Qashqai Kuro Edition with e-POWER is delivering a stylish and eye catching special version to an already efficient and comfortable drive” said Nic Thomas (Nissan GB Marketing Director).

At the heart of the Qashqai’s appeal is its unique and innovative e-POWER system.

What sets this powertrain apart is that the wheels are only driven by the electric motor, so its response is instant and linear. This is what gives the EV driving feeling and represents a significant alternative to traditional hybrids where drivers must accept its inherent shortcomings in the driving experience.

In contrast, the Qashqai's e-POWER system was developed to deliver the responsive, effortless, smooth, and quiet driving experience reminiscent of a pure EV, but without the need to plug in to recharge. A variable compression ratio 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged 156 hp petrol engine generates electricity, which is then transmitted via the inverter to feed the high-output battery pack, drive the electric motor - or both simultaneously, according to the driving scenario.
