In 2020, the third generation Nissan Qashqai arrived on the market, and now, after almost 400,000 units sold in the European market, it’s time for a redesigned edition of this crossover.

At first glance, the refreshed edition will have a new front fascia inspired by the metallic armor of Japanese knights. New headlights with separate five-piece daytime running lights and new taillight graphics, a modified bumper that gives the car a sporty look, 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels are now standard, and buyers can choose from three new body colors: Pearl White, Pearl Black and Deep Ocean which changes depending on the lighting. New 20-inch alloy wheels, door sills and body-colored wheel arches are part of the N-Design package.

Inside, the dashboard, door inserts, door armrests, center console cover and knee rests of the higher versions are covered in Alcantara, giving the car extra luxury. Better equipped versions come with leather upholstery and ambient lighting in several shades. There is also a renewed Around View Monitor with footage from four external cameras that provide a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and enable easier parking, a 3D function that provides a wider view of the vehicle from all sides, and the Parking Sport Location Memory function.

When it comes to the powertrain, buyers can choose between two 1.3-liter engines with mild hybrid technology, with 140 hp (104 kW) and 160 hp (119 kW). There’s also a 1.5-liter E-Power hybrid with 190 hp (142 kW), in which the internal combustion engine is only used to charge the battery and never drives the wheels directly.
