This highly anticipated new model of the wildly successful Qashqai boasts a sharp new look and class-leading features, including Nissan’s award-winning Autonomous Driving Level 1 (Nissan ProPILOT), Predictive Front Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Nappa Leather Massage Seats and excellent combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km, just to name a few.
Built on the alliance CMF-C Platform, which represents a state-of-the-art automotive structure and technology architecture, the new Qashqai combines a sporty design with an all-round, overall premium package that does not compromise on performance, style, and function.
The all-new Nissan Qashqai is set to offer new benchmarks in comfort, safety and driving dynamics coupled with the latest Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) technology whilst boasting a redefined and powerful 1.3T engine, mated to a Xtronic Automated transmission.

Family focused
As this vehicle is often used as a family car, it is also equipped with a bevy of high-tech safety features. These include a 360° view of your car, Blind Spot Intervention, Intelligent Cruise Control, Adaptive Driving Beam technology, Cross Traffic Alert and an emergency communication system.
In addition, the Driver Attention Alert system is intended to address potential driver fatigue and inattention. If the system detects driving behaviour consistent with a drowsy driver, the system uses an audible chime sound and displays an amber coffee cup with a message reading, "Take a break?" in the vehicle’s information display.
More muscular and sharper in exterior design, the all-new Nissan Qashqai also features a bigger V-Motion front grille, as well as slim LED matrix headlamps with new ‘boomerang’ daylight running lights that further enhance its imposing stance and presence.

Comfort, premium, and class
Elegance and comfort add to the allure of the all-new Nissan Qashqai, fitted with premium full-Napa leather seats with quilted fronts for a relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyable seating experience. It is engineered with the ultimate purpose, function, and quality in mind. The NissanConnect suite of features has also undergone an evolution and now offers a more connected service with the latest and greatest in audio technology, connectivity, and mobile integration.
To further set it apart, the new Qashqai offers two-tone exterior metallic paint that showcases the crisp line profiles of the vehicle. Taken a step further, Nissan is also introducing a two-tone premium interior to complete the overall premium experience of the third generation Qashqai.
Nissan Qashqai brings a new vision to crossover design with muscular proportions, premium packaging, and all-round next-level comfort and class.

ProPILOT driver assistance
The new Nissan Qashqai is equipped with the revolutionary ProPILOT autonomous drive technology, designed for highway use in single-lane traffic. It introduces a combination of steering, acceleration, and braking that can be operated in full-automatic mode, easing driver workload in heavy highway traffic and long commutes. Using advanced image-processing technology, the ProPILOT system understands road and traffic situations and executes precise steering, enabling the vehicle to perform naturally.
