- Nissan's bold and innovative e-POWER powertrain will be introduced to the Qashqai range in late summer, again breaking the mould in the crossover segment that the Qashqai pioneered.
The new Qashqai will be the first model in Europe to be equipped with Nissan's unique e‑POWER drive system. Exclusive to Nissan and a key component in the company's Intelligent Mobility strategy, the e-POWER system is a unique approach to electrification by making every day driving both enjoyable and efficient.
"The introduction of the innovative e-POWER system to the new Qashqai brings more of Nissan's pioneering spirit to the crossover segment. Customers will love the feeling of driving an EV but without consideration for charging. And e-POWER represents a significant milestone in Nissan's electrification strategy," said Guillaume Cartier, Chairperson for Nissan's AMIEO region.
Why e-POWER?
Nissan's research has shown that European crossover consumers spend more than 70% of their time driving in urban and suburban environments. The research also shows that consumers feel obliged to compromise on driving pleasure in order to be eco-minded in their choice of vehicle.
To respond to that trend, Nissan developed the e-Power system, specifically tuned for European consumer needs. It offers optimum fuel efficiency with EV driving pleasure thanks to the combination of two Nissan specialisms: advanced battery and motor technology, plus the innovative variable compression ratio internal combustion engine.
As such e-Power is an ideal technology for those who cannot or do not want to take time to recharge with a cable but face a daily urban or suburban drive, and who are ready to make the first move in their transition to a full EV in the future.
100% electrically driven wheels
The e-POWER system is comprised of a high-output battery that is complemented by a variable compression ratio 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo-charged petrol engine generating 156hp, a power generator, inverter and 140kW electric motor of similar size and power output as found in Nissan's electric vehicles. The petrol engine generates electricity, which can be transmitted via the inverter to the battery pack, the electric motor or both, according to the driving scenario.
What sets this powertrain apart is that the electric motor is the sole source of power for the wheels, so its response is instant and linear. This represents an appealing alternative to traditional hybrids where drivers have to accept the inherent shortcomings to the driving experience.
In contrast, the new Qashqai's e-POWER system was conceived to deliver the pleasurable, effortless and smooth driving experience associated with a pure EV, but without the need to recharge.

I test drove the 1.3 L epower version & was blown away.I’m replacing my Volvo V40 D2. It’s brilliant, it’s 173k SIN dollars
No transmission, one less problem, 65 mpg city driving Good! but Motorway driving you need to keep it to 56 mph to get 52 mpg
Don't expect to go green on this one.
What is real petrol consumption??
Offer a 'crate motor' version with the eMotor separate from the ICE & battery so that it can be put into a Retro Car
Is there more then one power train unit like some I have seen have a 1.3 & others a 1.5 , apart from the size of the cc in the engine is there any other difference between the two .
Does it get extra miles
How many kph per liter the consumption of this car?
i just dont get it - if the motor only acts as a generator - why does it need to be so big and turbo'd ? surely a 350cc engine or less would be more that adequate to act as a generator ?
Agree, the motor must be driving a generator to feed into the inverter and or battery, so why not a smaller donkey engine? Unless the generator is pretty big and needs a big motor to get to turning?
Like in a diesel electric locomotive? I presume the combustion engines in those were substantial.
Component Uses:
Engine : generator
Drive motor: power train/ regenerative braking
Battery: extra Power source
Long story short, it basically works like a diesel locomotive
You don't get power for nothing, you need a big generator to get the 200bhp of electric power...
You loose energy at every stage of the drive train. So from the engine to the wheels you probably loose 30% energy hence a bigger engine is needed.
Now imagine this with the engine powered by e-fuel😉
Then it’s still a stupid solution regarding total cost of ownership,total energy efficiency and complexity of the system you have to pay for to be maintained.
BIGGER BATTERY + 100CC - 500CC GENERATOR = MORE MILEAGE.
If you run out of gas will the battery continue to run the car?
It’s a tiny battery so you won’t go very far until your battery runs out of juice
No. It runs in fossil fuel so completely pointless.
Great design except no plug, too big motor, and 2kwh battery is too small to benefit much in city. Most people in Europe do most of there driving in short city commutes. An extra 10kwh with modern batteries with a plug, and a tiny combustion motor would double the city fuel economy, and have the same luggage volume.
It's designed to maximize profit, without serious regard to geopolitics and the environment.
Almost as good as a REX...range extender...
As a big Nissan fan, leaf micra etc .. This has to be a joke .. What are they thinking WoW.
The only thing that left forfailure is supercharger. Why not you put one so it could have more breakpoints .. Totally disappointed . And I was thinking to buy one Well maybe next time \_-_-_/
there's no gearbox, which is a popular and expensive breakpoint
