Nissan adds stop/start to Qashqai

Date: 25 August 2010

The Nissan Qashqai in N-tec trim with the extra Chrome pack

Nissan has updated its popular Qashqai and Qashqai+2 models with stop/start on the 1.6 petrol engine, which brings the five-seater's CO2 down from 144g/km to 139g/km while the seven-seater falls from 154g/km to 149g/km. Costing an extra £200 over the standard variant, stop-start also brings lower benefit-in-kind tax at 16% and 18% respectively.

The 1.5-litre diesel has also been made more efficient and powerful thanks to diesel particular filter technology and increased output from 105hp to 109hp.

All engines are now compliant with Euro 5 emissions regulations.

Nissan has also announced upgrades to its N-tec trim, which now gets 18-inch alloy wheels (formerly a £400 option) to go with the standard equipment that includes a combined satellite navigation and audio system, a colour reversing camera, a panoramic glass roof, privacy glass.

Drivers can also choose a £250 Chrome Pack, which includes chrome door handles, chrome fog lamp surrounds and chrome side strips. Inside, the pack also includes door and tailgate entry guards and carpet mats.

Nissan's UK MD, Paul Willcox, said: "Anything we do to the Qashqai is always significant news for Nissan - this is our best-selling model on its home turf here in the UK. Its continued success is great news for UK manufacturing and everyone at Nissan's Sunderland Plant."

First deliveries of the Qashqai and Qashqai+2 latest models will begin in October.
