Nissan has updated its Qashqai with a bold new look.
Up front, the crossover now comes with a bold new grille, said to be inspired by the patterns of ancient Japanese armour scales. This grille comprises of multiple high gloss comma-shaped elements which appear to float between the bonnet and numberplate holder, which become more triangular in shape as they approach the head lights.
These head lights now also feature an adaptive high beam module, and come complemented by a smaller unit for wider beam distribution useful for increased visibility in low-light conditions and when driving in fog. Higher trim examples of the Qashqai also now offer sequential turning lights.
The rear of the Qashqai has not received as dramatic a change, however, the composition of the lights within the unit has received a redesign. The rear bumper of the Nissan Qashqai has also been redesigned and will come in either gloss black or in the same colour as the rest of the body depending on the selected trim level.
The bumper has been reshaped and now features harmonised colour - either gloss black on the higher-grade versions or body coloured on the new N-Design grade.
The car is also now being offered with three new exterior colours: Pearl White, Pearl Black (which replaces the previous black option but offers a richer tint), and Deep Ocean.
In the cabin, high trim examples of the Nissan Qashqai now feature Alcantara on the dashboard, door inserts, door armrests, centre storage console lid and knee pads. Customers are also now able to get seats upholstered in partially quilted leather on top specification examples of the car.
High specification examples of the Qashqai also now get an ambient lighting system.
Also new for this updated Nissan Qashqai is the integration of Google built-in, which will allow users to easily find their favourite locations and points of interest with Google Maps. Users will also be able to utilise Google Assistant to control the car's ventilation system, heated seats, and windscreen, or to navigate to their next destination and to make phone calls.
A host of apps from Google Play will also allow owners to conveniently listen to their favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks all from the Qashqai.
The crossover continues to be offered with Nissan's e-POWER technology that makes use of the three-cylinder engine as a generator to power a 1.8kWh battery and a 187bhp electric motor. Customers in the U.K. continue to be offered a choice of 138bhp and 148bhp mild hybrid drivetrains.
The updated Qashqai is manufactured at Nissan's Sunderland Plant in the U.K., where more than 1.3 million units have been built since the original was launched in 2007. More than 350,000 examples of the third generation car have been sold in Europe since it was launched.
