UPDATED NISSAN QASHQAI E-POWER REVIEW 2026 - DRIVING EV WITH PETROL?

EV Channels Review

The updated Nissan Qashqai e-Power presents an intriguing proposition, blending electric driving feel with the convenience of petrol refueling. The reviewer highlights the significantly improved e-Power system, which is now more silent and efficient, offering a claimed range of 1,200 km. Real-world consumption figures were measured at approximately 5 L/100km in mixed driving and 6 L/100km on the motorway. The interior receives praise for its updated Google-based infotainment system and improved noise insulation, particularly with thicker glass. However, the reviewer strongly advises against the 20-inch wheels, citing a rough ride quality, especially on uneven surfaces. Despite this drawback, the Qashqai is deemed a relaxing and smooth drive, offering good space and a compelling package, especially when considering its price point relative to competitors like the Kia Sportage and VW Tiguan.
