The all-new, third generation Qashqai<\/p><\/div>\n

Keen to stay ahead of the competition Nissan has launched their all-new Qashqai writes Geraldine Herbert<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> Nissan’s Qashqai defined the crossover segment back in 2007.
\n2)<\/strong> 50,000 Qashqais have found a home in Ireland and over 3 million cars have been sold in Europe and 5 million globally since its launch.
\n3)<\/strong> Still unmistakably Qashqai the new version sports sharper lines and a more modern edgy look. A slightly increased wheelbase means the new crossover is still small enough to park in tight spots but comes with 50 litres more boot space and a more spacious cabin.
\n4)<\/strong> Inside it gets a big splurge of luxury with more impressive materials and cleaner lines, the Qashqai promises to be pleasing to look at and to touch. The old 7-inch touchscreen has been replaced with a new 9-inch high-definition multimedia touchscreen and there is also an all-new digital instrument cluster and a 10.8-inch head-up display which according to Nissan is the largest in its segment.
\n5)<\/strong> Parents of young children, in particular, will welcome the ease of access to the back seats thanks to doors that now open up to 90 degrees.
\n6)<\/strong> For the tech-savvy the \u00a0NissanConnect smartphone app is a dedicated app that allows users to pair smartphone apps to the vehicle to control functions such as the horn, lights and central locking remotely.
\n7)<\/strong> New to the Qashqai is the e-Power hybrid option which will debut next year. Despite combining a petrol engine and an electric motors Nissan’s new system operates in a different way to most hybrids on the market as the petrol engine is used solely as a generator to charge the car\u2019s batteries while the wheels are completely driven by the electric motor.
\n8)<\/strong> The 1.3 petrol now comes with a 12V mild-hybrid systems to improve performance and efficiency and will be available with either 138bhp or 156bhp. Both models will come with front-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, while the more powerful of the two will also be available with a CVT automatic gearbox. If you are looking for something that drives like a car but handles bad weather like an SUV then the new 4WD is the one to go for. Available with five driving modes \u2013 Standard, ECO, Sport, Snow and Off-Road it is offered on the 156hp Xtronic model
\n9)<\/strong> Similar to the LEAF, the new Qashqai e-Power will be capable of one-pedal driving. Drivers can start, accelerate and decelerate using only the accelerator pedal.
\n10)<\/strong> Nissan’s new Qashqai will arrive in summer and prices will be confirmed closer to the Irish launch.<\/p>\n
