Nissan’s new Qashqai e-Power small SUV, priced at $51,590 before on-road costs, rivals the Toyota Corolla Cross and Hyundai Kona. The e-Power technology, a series hybrid system, uses a petrol engine to power a battery that drives the wheels, offering an EV-like driving experience without needing to plug in. The Qashqai boasts a five-star ANCAP rating and numerous high-tech features but has higher fuel consumption and costs compared to competitors. Despite impressive build quality and comfort, the e-Power variant is only available in the premium Ti model.
