Goal achieved
Objective more than achieved. The average consumption of the entire group is 4.9 l/100 km (over 1,100 km on a full tank).
Better than the value approved according to the WLTP combined cycle which is equal to 5.2 l/100 km (1,057 km with a full tank). Confirming Qashqai e-POWER as a champion of efficiency.
Best of all the Spain crew. Made up of Veronica (@verownika) and Alba (@albihm), they score the highest score.

e-POWER, unique technology on the market for driving pleasure and efficiency
e-POWER is a Nissan patent. Unique in the automotive landscape, and represents a revolutionary approach to the electrification of mobility.
Made up of a 190 HP electric motor, that moves the wheels of the car and a 158 HP internal combustion engine.
This deputy exclusively to the production of energy. Basically an electric with the charging station on board.
How does it work
Il system does not include plug charging. And for fill up with energy it just is fill up the petrol tank and travel on electric for over 1,000 km on a full tank.
Driving pleasure is typical of an EV and the internal combustion engine. This only turns on when needed. It guarantees low consumption, low emissions and silence. The ideal solution especially in urban contexts.
Where frequent restarts and braking facilitate the regeneration of energy. And the internal combustion engine is often off, with about 65% fewer ignitions than a traditional hybrid.
Nissan accompanies the market in the transition to electric mobility
e-POWER is the best alternative to diesel and a real element of transition towards 100% electric mobility.
Flagship of e-POWER is the 1.5-litre and 158 HP internal combustion enginespecially developed for this application and featuring Nissan’s unique patented variable compression ratio technology.
