NISSAN QASHQAI E-POWER
Going from plucky outsider to establishment favourite is tough. Just what Nissan has done with its third gen Qashqai – the same package families fell in love with, plus a sleeker look and fancier trim. The party piece hybrid set-up is basically an EV with a tiny 2.1kWh battery and onboard generator. What makes this better than a ‘normal’ hybrid is that the e-motor is beefy enough to do the heavy lifting. It’s great around town and never gets too noisy.
