The Nissan Qashqai turns heads whilst blowing minds. It derives its power from a range of compelling engines – two lightweight aluminum petrol engines as well as a powerful diesel. The 1.6? petrol delivers 81kW at 6 000rpm and 154Nm torque at 4 400rpm whilst the 2.0? delivers 102kW at 5 200rpm and 198kW at 4 400rpm. The powerful 2.0 dCi packs a punch with 110kW at 4 000rpm and a very useful 320Nm torque at 2 000rpm. The 1.6? petrol engine is available in a 5 speed manual transmission, whilst the 2.0 dCi and 2.0? petrol comes in a 6 speed manual transmission.

With independent rear multi-link suspension, combined with electrical power steering, the Nissan Qashqai confidently keeps you in control by providing stability around any bend. The Nissan Qashqai now also boasts an ALL MODE 4X4 system. The ALL MODE 4X4 electronic Four-Wheel Drive System gives you easy dial selection of 2WD (driving the front wheels for optimum fuel economy), lock mode (with 50/50, front/rear torque spread for off-roading) or auto mode.

Auto mode is both proactive and reactive. If it senses potential loss of grip, the electronic control unit instantly apportions the ideal amount of torque to the rear wheels. If road conditions suddenly change, it automatically engages the rear wheels to maintain stability.
