@ yes the idea is to give "EV" feel behind the steering wheel, but without range anxiety. Model made for transit between ICE and EV models for people who don't have time/facilities to charge the car.
An interesting demonstration after dark. It has a lot in common with similar Toyota products, except that the transmission is straightforward electric, rather than hybrid (with both electric and mechanical via continuously variable in tandem).
It's still a hybrid, how you hook it up is up to you. This idea that it can only be a hybrid if they both drive the wheels. Nissan done the right thing. It's simple and direct & you always drive in Ev mode.
@@Gin2b1 drove it for 1-2 hours in Sweden around Stockholm, average was a bit over 5 litres. More detailed review & drive coming in September when this car comes to my market (and other European countries). WLTP range is a bit over 1000 km
Hi, just got my e-Power today. Drove it home & had a complete nervous breakdown or should I say e-breakdown. I'm 71 & just too much tech & information. Now, where are e-paddles, there isn't any. The Lane Assist caused panic, beeping & shaking that I nearly caused a accident with a very irate driver. All warnings get switched off tmmrw, they cause accidents for me. I might swap it for a nice simple Dacia.
Very interesting and nice night driving presentation. I have a question. Can you give us the information regarding the rear suspension please ? is there a multilink suspension in e-power models no matter what the trim level is or not ? or it varies depending on trim level ... for instance the Tekna + trim with the 20 inch allow wheels has a multilink rear suspension in all versions ... petrol, 2wd, 4wd or e-power ... because I have heared different things and I am trying to clear it out !
thanks :) Yes I do think it's the same with e-Power models, so with 20-inch you get multilink at the back (but to be 100% sure best is to ask the local dealership)
welcome lights on the inside handles only. I don't recall welcome lights on mirrors, only the usual auto-fold (you can configure it for autofold on lock/unlock or on power on/power off)
i love the car, but i will never understand why they put the ugly yellow light for the interior of the car xd, first thing you have to change to white LEDs when you buy this car haha
There is an energy flow layout in the middle of the digital cockpit (you can watch my full review during the day where I show all the details about screens and you’ll see it). Also when you press the EV mode you will see the EV logo, and if you need to accelerate hard for example car will notify you that the EV mode is no longer active and that engine is now alao turned on (to help the electric motor which is the only one driving the wheels at all times)
It's always driving electric. The petrol engine is to keep the battery charged. That way you get the feel of the electric drive without the need to charge and no range anxiety.
You can hardly hear the engine. For me aged 71, there's just too much going on, looking at the dash with info galore. I may switch off parts of it as it's quite distracting. I drove a 2014 Scenic - I'm missing it but I must try to persevere. It's quite a beast when you stand by it.
That headlights is really poor , it’s dipped far to low as it isn’t illuminating secondary road signs so should have matrix and side lights to illuminate close to the vehicle
@@luckystrike656 He doesn't have matrix lights on! This can be seen from the displayed icons. If the matrix lights were on, there would be three icons on the road at a speed above 40 km/h: a green headlight with a letter A in the middle, an icon for the position lights and a third one, blue with the letter A. Meanwhile, you can see that there is only a green icon for the dipped beam and green for the lights positional. Conclusion: crospotter13 drives with dipped beam all the time. That's why it's dark.
I don't get why it can go under 6l/100km when the engine is not running the wheels?! And you drove really slowly, I saw even 11l in some RUclips reviews.. So do a quick recap Complexity of a turbo engine Complexity of a Hybrid EV system A lot of weight 6-10l/100km Probably much higher price then regular model Is there any other benefit according to Nissan?
Hmm, you missed the part that it's; missing a mechanical drivetrain, missing a mechanical gearbox, missing a mechanical clutch system, Thus, saving all that weight, compared to conventional hybrid. In city/urban drive tests have put it around 65mpg
The indicator does have a nice relaxing sound
glad you agree :)
Nice car. Interesting tech. Would have loved to hear the transition from electric to engine.
Good video. Good car.👍
Thanks 😀
Just ordered one really impressed
awesome to hear :)
get a tesla....
They need to make 4eforce version of Qashqai. Zanimljiva prezentacija kao i uvijek
that would be awesome!
hvala :)
@@crospotter13 nema na čemu.
@@crospotter13 to me it looks like an electric car with a range extender. But with a small battery and larger fuel tank. It's not an hybrid at all

Cool
Without all the cumbersome computation from the drivetrain to contend with, this concept allows an ICE based autonomous car 😅‼️
Great car ! How did you get it and how much does it cost ?
I Buy In Second Hand For 35K
The car seems very silent with not the usual cvt sound. Nice video.
Yes it is a pleasure to drive it, really feels like an EV most of the times 😀
Thanks glad you like it 😎
@@crospotter13 thanks! What about the consumption ? How many l/100 km?
@@Gin2b1 drove it for 1-2 hours in Sweden around Stockholm, average was a bit over 5 litres. More detailed review & drive coming in September when this car comes to my market (and other European countries). WLTP range is a bit over 1000 km
because it does not have a CVT nor transmission, it uses a very simple reliable gear setup.

No ambient lighting?
I think it's available on higher trim (would be the same one as the 2022 Qashqai Tekna+ that I tested few months ago)

Available as option in white color in door trims and in the middle
Welcome lights on the door handles or morrors when unlocking?
welcome lights on the inside handles only. I don't recall welcome lights on mirrors, only the usual auto-fold (you can configure it for autofold on lock/unlock or on power on/power off)
Head light power not shawn clear .........
How can we drive in the dark .......... ?
From what I can see, the tester does not have the Auto mode on for the lights and he is constantly driving on the dipped beam.
i love the car, but i will never understand why they put the ugly yellow light for the interior of the car xd, first thing you have to change to white LEDs when you buy this car haha
How do you know if the car has the engine on or if it's driving all eletric? Doesn't it have an EV light in the dashboard?
There is an energy flow layout in the middle of the digital cockpit (you can watch my full review during the day where I show all the details about screens and you’ll see it). Also when you press the EV mode you will see the EV logo, and if you need to accelerate hard for example car will notify you that the EV mode is no longer active and that engine is now alao turned on (to help the electric motor which is the only one driving the wheels at all times)
It is always moving in electric. The oil engine only charges the battery.
It's always driving electric. The petrol engine is to keep the battery charged. That way you get the feel of the electric drive without the need to charge and no range anxiety.
You can hardly hear the engine. For me aged 71, there's just too much going on, looking at the dash with info galore. I may switch off parts of it as it's quite distracting. I drove a 2014 Scenic - I'm missing it but I must try to persevere. It's quite a beast when you stand by it.
@@ispiurwe now say ICE. Internal Combustion Engine! Millennials eh, don't you luv 'em.
Too match road noise in 100km/h ...
How much range it was showing you ?
I’ve seen a number of reviews now and they all said around 900 km of range. If you drive in eco for most of the time, you can even reach 1000km.
what is the consumption?
In this short video with slow driving it shows 6.1-6.7 on the display..
@@luckystrike656 thank you... I do not know why I thought it would be lover. That is quite high consumption for such a small car and engine.
That headlights is really poor , it’s dipped far to low as it isn’t illuminating secondary road signs so should have matrix and side lights to illuminate close to the vehicle
From what I can see, @crospotter13 does not have the Auto mode on for the lights and he is constantly driving on the dipped beam.
You can probably adjust them by tilting a bit up like on every other car on the market.

So do a quick recap
Complexity of a turbo engine
Complexity of a Hybrid EV system
A lot of weight
6-10l/100km
Probably much higher price then regular model
Is there any other benefit according to Nissan?
Hmm, you missed the part that it's;
missing a mechanical drivetrain,
missing a mechanical gearbox,
missing a mechanical clutch system,
Thus, saving all that weight, compared to conventional hybrid.
In city/urban drive tests have put it around 65mpg
They reach the best fuel economy as the gas engine always runs in its best efficiency range, i guess it is 2000-2500 rpm
Don't turst Nissan fake car transmission is not good, you loose your y
full pollution ev , well done nissan....and it noisy, and uneconomical and needs servicing ...
hey nissan the plug in bit is the cheap to run bit...
