There\u2019s a clear 12.3-inch infotainment system which is equipped with key smartphone mirroring apps such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the car\u2019s native system is easy to navigate through thanks to clear icons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All cars get reversing sensors, dual-zone climate control and and a rear-view parking camera, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clever hybrid technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Qashqai-with-New-e-POWER-badge-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Nissan Qashqai\" class=\"wp-image-5343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Qashqai-with-New-e-POWER-badge-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Qashqai-with-New-e-POWER-badge-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Qashqai-with-New-e-POWER-badge-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Qashqai-with-New-e-POWER-badge-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Qashqai-with-New-e-POWER-badge.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Clever e-Power technology brings an experience more like the one in a full EV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the very heart of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/car-leasing\/nissan\/qashqai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Qashqai<\/a> experience is an efficient hybrid powertrain. There are two to choose from. The first is a mild-hybrid system which utilises a 1.5-litre petrol engine, enabling up to 44.8mpg. It\u2019s a good option for drivers after a more \u2018traditional\u2019 driving experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s Nissan\u2019s clever e-Power system. Again, this uses a 1.5-litre engine, but instead of driving the wheels, the petrol motor acts more as a generator, with electric motors being used to primarily drive the car. As a result, it feels a little like an electric vehicle to drive, and you should get over 60mpg, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spacious interior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_082-1024x765.jpg\" alt=\"Nissan Qashqai\" class=\"wp-image-5345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_082-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_082-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_082-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_082-1536x1148.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_082-2048x1530.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Qashqai remains one of Nissan&#8217;s core models <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A crossover aimed towards families needs to offer space and that\u2019s just what you\u2019ll find in the Qashqai. Handily, the Qashqai\u2019s rear door open to 90 degrees, so it\u2019s a breeze to get in and out, or to load a child seat. Once inside, you\u2019ll find a decent level of headroom and a good amount of legroom for those sitting in the back of the car.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 504 litres, the boot space in the Qashqai is impressive and you can fold down the rear seats in order to expand this to 1,504 litres.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stylish design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_058-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Nissan Qashqai\" class=\"wp-image-5341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_058-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_058-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_058-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_058-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Nissan-Qashqai-N-Design_058-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Qashqai has been a family favourite for years <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that the Qashqai has always had on its side is design and the latest version brings a futuristic take on things.
