Nissan's mid-size Crossover, the Qashqai, has undergone an extensive update to cement its position as the class-leading, pioneering alternative to the traditional hatchback in Europe.
The most notable visual change to the Qashqai is at the front, where a complete makeover has taken place. All new bonnet, front bumper, wings, grille and headlamps combine to give the Qashqai an air of added sophistication, presence and quality. The new frontal aspect is shared with Qashqai+2. Interior updates give a more premium feel as well as more practicality.
Changes to the Qashqai's underfloor design have helped to optimise airflow, also contributing to the reduction in drag from 0.34 to 0.33 Building on the improvements to the aerodynamics of the refreshed Qashqai, a new Eco version of Qashqai will be introduced with a reduced CO2 output.
A weight reduction programme, the adoption of aerodynamic wheel covers, combined with the blanking of the fog lamp sockets, the fitment of low rolling resistance tyres and the lengthening of the final drive ration have all combined to reduce the Qashqai's CO2 from 137 to 129g/km.
