The all-new Nissan Qashqai has launched with a five-model range powered by three engine variants and two trim lines. The redesign of the new model is lighter, lower, wider and longer with invigorating new technology and increased efficiency.

The Nissan Qashqai was the vehicle that started the crossover revolution when it was launched globally back in 2007, and has been such a success, that in South Africa alone over 20 000 units have been sold. Now, the all-new, all-improved QASHQAI is set to continue this success in a market segment

Purposeful in its execution as much as it is striking to look at, design elements have also been employed to enhance aerodynamics, the new QASHQAI featuring a drag coefficient of just 0.33 – thanks to clever features like a flat underbelly and a roof spoiler with winglets.

The all-new interior, which is bolstered by the three core elements of comfort, connectivity and control, is where the biggest leap in quality and feel has been achieved, with the use of premium quality materials culminating in a chic interior which creates a wonderful driving environment. The ergonomic and fuss-free layout ensures ease of use, with key touch points and surfaces designed to enhance the sensory experience and provide long-term durability.

This latest version of NissanConnect, which makes its debut in the new Nissan QASHQAI, is a fully-fledged infotainment system operated via a stylish 7-inch touch screen interface and incorporates satellite navigation, Google® search, full smartphone integration for iOS and Android devices, and a Facebook social media app.
