“Nissan’s mainstay SUV in Europe, the Qashqai, to be equipped with e-POWER…to be launched in September
1.5-liter turbocharged engine with variable compression ratio technology exclusively for power generation

Three different driving modes can be switched

One pedal covers up to 90% of driving situations

The new Nissan Qashqai e-POWER The new Nissan Qashqai e-POWER The new e-POWER Nissan Qashqai The new e-POWER Nissan Qashqai
On June 27, Nissan’s European division announced that it will launch the new Nissan Qashqai with e-POWER in the European market in September. This will be the first e-POWER-equipped model in Europe.

◆1.5-liter turbo engine with variable compression ratio technology exclusively for power generation
The conventional Qashqai is a remodeled version of the SUV that was once sold in Japan as the Duallis. Since the Dualis was integrated into the Extrail in the Japanese market, the Qashqai has not been introduced to the Japanese market since the previous model. The new Qashqai is Nissan’s main SUV in the European market.

The new Qashqai will be the first in Europe to be equipped with e-POWER. e-POWER is characterized by the fact that the gasoline engine is used only for power generation, while the electric motor provides the drive. This means that the engine always operates within its optimum range, which is said to result in superior fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional internal combustion engines.

In the case of the new Qashqai, the e-POWER system’s motor produces a maximum output of 190 hp and maximum torque of 33.6 kgm. The 1.5-liter inline 3-cylinder gasoline turbocharged engine, which is dedicated to power generation, features variable compression ratio technology (compression ratio range of 8:1 to 14:1) and delivers maximum output of 156 hp and maximum torque of 25.5 kgm. e-POWER system includes a gasoline engine, generator, inverter, and electric motor in one unit. and electric motor are designed as an integrated unit. No recharging is required. The European combined mode fuel consumption is 18.9km/liter and CO2 emissions are 119g/km (both in WLTP cycle).

Three modes of operation can be switched
The new Nissan Qashqai e-POWER has three driving modes: Standard, Sport, and Eco. Standard produces excellent acceleration, and the regenerative braking works like the engine braking of a conventional gasoline vehicle. In Sport mode, the engine spends less time idle, enhancing acceleration response. In Eco mode, battery management is optimized to conserve fuel by coasting during low-load driving, such as on highways.

In all modes, “”B mode”” can be selected. This increases the amount of energy recovered when the accelerator pedal is off, allowing the driver to efficiently decelerate without using the brake pedal.

The new Qashqai with e-POWER boasts that it not only accelerates faster than rival hybrids, but also at lower engine speeds. The system is said to operate as quietly as a full EV, with an emphasis on linking engine speed to engine rpm, resulting in a high level of quietness even during acceleration.

◆One pedal covers up to 90% of the driving scene
Like the EV LEAF, the new Qashqai with e-POWER enables “”one-pedal”” driving, called “”e-Pedal”” mode. The driver can start, accelerate, and decelerate using only the accelerator pedal. The system is said to be capable of covering up to 90% of driving situations.

In urban driving conditions where stop-and-go driving is common, the e-pedal mode provides up to 0.2G of deceleration G when the driver takes his/her foot off the accelerator pedal. The need to switch between gas pedal and brake pedals is significantly reduced, making driving easier and more relaxing, according to the company.

When parking, the e-pedal is optimized to provide a creep phenomenon, which requires the use of the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop. On winding roads, the system reduces the chance of braking while cornering. Drivers can monitor the e-POWER’s energy flow and check the system’s status on a 12-inch TFT meter on the dashboard, according to the company.”

Nissan’s new Qashqai e-POWER SUV [European specifications, on sale in September 2022].

　The new Qashqai e-POWER is the first e-POWER (e-POWER/series hybrid) model in Europe.

　Body size is 4425 mm (length) x 1835 mm (width) x 1625 mm (height) with a wheelbase of 2665 mm.

　Compared to the 3rd generation EXTRAIL (overall length 4690 mm x overall width 1820 mm x overall height 1740 mm, wheelbase 2705 mm), which is Nissan’s representative SUV, it is a bit smaller in size except for its width.

　The exterior features an elongated and stylish silhouette and Nissan’s family face “”V-motion grille. The emblem is a new design that was first introduced on the Nissan Aria.

　The e-POWER applies the motor control technology that Nissan has developed for the LEAF electric vehicle. The e-POWER uses the on-board engine exclusively for power generation, and the generated electricity is used to drive the vehicle efficiently with 100% motor drive.

　The powertrain consists of a newly developed 1.5-liter 3-cylinder VC (variable compression ratio) turbo engine (156hp/250Nm), high-power battery, generator, inverter, and motor.

　VC Turbo is Nissan’s proprietary engine technology that optimally varies the compression ratio in the range of 8:1 to 14:1; it was first used in 2018 in North America by Nissan’s luxury division Infiniti, but this is the first time it is used in the Qashqai.

　The system seamlessly varies from high-compression, fuel-efficient driving to a low-compression state that provides instantaneous power, depending on gas pedal opening and battery power.

　Maximum system output is 190 hp (140 kW) and maximum torque is 330 Nm, with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 170 km/h.

　Catalog fuel economy in Europe is 5.3-5.4 L/100 km (WLTP mode fuel economy/per liter is approximately 18.5-18.9 km/L).

　The new Qashqai e-POWER also features the “”e-Pedal Step,”” which allows one-pedal control of starting, acceleration, and deceleration by simply depressing the accelerator pedal for easy driving.

　Braking of up to 0.2G can light the taillights and decelerate the vehicle to the creeping speed range.

　The launch of the new Qashqai e-POWER in Japan has not yet been determined.”

“Turbo x e-POWER is another dimension! Nissan “”Qashqai”” Running on Electricity! Reservations start from about 5,430,000 yen in France

Electric Powertrain “”e-POWER”” Introduced for the First Time in Europe
　On June 7, 2022, Nissan’s French subsidiary began taking orders for the Qashqai e-POWER crossover SUV.

　Fully remodeled in 2021, the Qashqai is now available as a mild hybrid vehicle. A new electric powertrain “”e-POWER”” vehicle will be added to the lineup. Note that this is the first time that e-POWER will be introduced in Europe.

Nissan Qashqai e-POWER, the first e-POWER vehicle in Europe

　The e-POWER to be mounted on the Qashqai was developed for the European market. Electricity generated by the new 1.5-liter turbocharged variable compression gasoline engine drives an electric motor with a maximum output of 140 kW (190 hp).

　This energy is fed to the battery, which in turn feeds the electric motor. It can be sent directly to the electric motor or to the battery and the electric motor simultaneously.

　Since the car runs 100% motor-driven, it has a linear response. It is also ideal for users who are not ready to make the transition to EVs, as it does not require recharging like a battery EV.

　Qashqai e-POWER is equipped with the e-Pedal Step, which allows the driver to control acceleration and deceleration using only the accelerator pedal. It offers a smoother, quieter, and more fuel-efficient drive.

　On the exterior, the slim headlights and V-motion grille give a stylish impression, while the elongated shoulder line and 20-inch aluminum wheels on the sides of the body give a powerful impression. The “”e-POWER”” badge is also attached.

　The interior also features a 12.3-inch multi-information screen with a Japanese faceted background motif, a 10.8-inch head-up display, and a compatible 9-inch NissanConnect display (Android Auto / Apple CarPlay compatible) .

　It also supports the ability to seamlessly connect home and car with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

　The new Qashqai e-POWER is priced in France from 38,200 to 46,000 euros (approximately 5.43 to 6.54 million yen). It is only 1,300 euros (about 185,000 yen) more than the mild hybrid version. Deliveries in the market will begin gradually in September 2022.
