Nissan are excitingly launching the next generation of its unique e-POWER on the British-built Qashqai crossover. It will feature fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and elevated refinement.
The new e-POWER will make the transition from fuel towards zero emissions smoother. The petrol engine is used to assist with generating electricity and charging the battery if needed. It guarantees a smooth journey by combining petrol power with electric energy to drive the wheels.
Other major improvements for the new e-POWER is the reduced fuel consumption to 4.5L/100km (WLTP) and CO2 emissions lowered from 116g/km to 102g/km. It offers an EV-like refinement with the reduced cabin noise by up to 5.6dB.
With a newly developed 5-in-1 powertrain unit, the electric motor, generator, inverter, reducer and increaser are integrated into a compact and lighter package. Impressively, the power is up by 11kW with a total power of 151kW. The engine follows Nissan’s proprietary STARC combustion which lifted thermal efficiency to 42%. In addition, it contributes to lower noise levels with a larger turbo allowing for a 200rpm reduction in engine speeds.
“This new version of e-POWER reflects everything we’ve learned from developing electric motor drive systems for Europe. We’ve analysed what worked in our previous generations, what appealed most to customers, and re-engineered the system to deliver maximum efficiency, lower emissions and a quieter, more refined drive - all with the same performance as a diesel. We are proud that New e-POWER now offers best-in-class fuel efficiency and emissions.”

It allows customers to experience the benefits of electric mobility but also be able to refuel at any petrol station.
From September 2025, you will be able to experience the new e-POWER Qashqai with its advanced technology. Google is built-in to provide access to Google Maps, Assistant, and the Play Store. Driving intelligence is supported by the enhanced ProPILOT to monitor the surrounding environment.
