Nissan is adding a range-topper to its popular Qashqai range, with the brand’s e-Power hybrid drivetrain to become available in the small SUV following its addition to the X-Trail mid-size SUV range.

Priced from $51,590 before on-roads, the 2024 Nissan Qashqai Ti e-Power joins the rest of the range (with prices unchanged) and is available to reserve online at Nissan Australia's website from November 2.

As a Ti-level variant, it mimics the petrol-powered Ti variant in terms of specification - aside from the drivetrain of course.

This means it comes with features like a panoramic glass roof, quilted leather-accented seat trim, a 10.8-inch head-up display and a 12.3-inch driver display, a 10-speaker Bose sound system, electrically adjustable front seats with heating and massage function, plus features available in lower grades like parking sensors and a surround-view monitor, Nissan’s ProPILOT driver assistance with lane keep assist, adaptive high-beams and rain-sensing front wipers.

Under the surface is where the big changes lie, the Qashqai Ti e-Power uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine in conjunction with an electric motor for a combined system output of 140kW and 330Nm, driving the front wheels.

Nissan Australia Managing Director Adam Paterson told CarsGuide recently that the expectation for e-Power is that the X-Trail will lead the Qashqai on sales, but only because of their respective segments.

“Generally speaking, we believe that there will be more volume through X-Trail e-Power than there will be through Qashqai e-Power,” he said, “…. because the mid-sized SUV segment is a larger segment than the small SUV segment.

“As such, X-Trail will be a bigger volume seller, and therefore e-Power will be as well on that product, but we still think Qashqai e-Power will do quite well.”

Nissan says Qashqai e-Power vehicles reserved online will be built this year and delivered in quarter one, 2024.

Racing video games, car-spotting on road trips, and helping wash the family VL Calais Turbo as a kid were all early indicators that an interest in cars would stay present in Chris’ life, but loading up his 1990 VW Golf GTI Mk2 and moving from hometown Brisbane to work in automotive publishing in Melbourne ensured cars would be a constant. With a few years as MOTOR Magazine’s first digital journalist under his belt, followed by a stint as a staff journalist for Wheels Magazine, Chris’ career already speaks to a passion for anything with four wheels, especially the 1989 Mazda MX-5 he currently owns. From spending entire weeks dissecting the dynamic abilities of sports cars to weighing up the practical options for car buyers from all walks of life, Chris’ love for writing and talking about cars means if you’ve got a motoring question, he can give you an answer.
