Nissan Qashqai e-POWER Wins Hybrid Car of the Year at Cinch 2024 Awards

Cinch, the UK's leading online used car retailer, has named the Nissan Qashqai e-POWER Hybrid Car of the Year at its 2024 Car of the Year Awards. The model was praised by judges for its innovative and class-leading technology and impressive electrified powertrain. 


 “What makes the Qashqai e-POWER so good is how its hybrid system works – it shows that hybrid cars don’t need to be boring to look at or to drive.

“It feels like an electric car with zippy acceleration and one-pedal driving, and yet it’s as convenient as a petrol car because it doesn’t need to be plugged in.”

- Sam Sheehan, Motoring Editor at Cinch

The Nissan Qashqai is proudly built and engineered in Britain and was given a comprehensive update, as well as award-winning marketing campaign, in 2024. Along with the Cinch accolade, the model was also named best-in-class by motoring experts at News UK - publishers of some of the country's biggest newspapers including The Sun and The Sunday Times.

Since its launch in September 2022, Nissan has sold more than 140,000 Qashqai e-POWER models. It is extremely popular with customers because of its 'electric drive' feeling delivered by its state-of-the-art technology.



 “With eye-catching design, intuitive technology, the latest safety features and award-winning powertrains, it’s no wonder our customers love the Qashqai.

“Receiving this award is fantastic recognition for Nissan teams across the UK, all of which have contributed to Qashqai’s UK development and helped to maintain its position as a British automotive industry success.”

- Michael Auliar, Sales Director at Nissan GB



The model's e-POWER powertrain is truly unique, ensuring that the wheels are only ever driven directly by an electric motor, unlike traditional hybrids. This means the car delivers the sensation of driving an EV without the need to plug in and charge. It provides the perfect solution for drivers who want to experience more efficient technology and smoother driving, but are not quite ready to switch to a 100% electric car.

The Qashqai e-POWER features a turbocharged three-cylinder engine which generates electricity, which is then sent via an invertor to either the 140kW electric motor or the 1.8kWh battery. Electricity is supplied in relation to the vehicle's speed, helping to avoid the disconnect between background sound and vehicle progress.
