[@okrimko]

thx for very detailed review. I have one question though. I did a test drive, and al modes I tried have that small gap of 1 sec btw pushing the pedal of acc and car responding to it, why is that? is that normal ? I really didnt like the feeling. did you notice the same thing too or it was just model I tried in my country?

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks! Unless you were flooring it, that shouldn't be the case; the whole point of e-Power is to give you a more seamless driving experience.

[@johnsavell6840]

Driven the e power since last year, fuel consumption depending on driving between 40 to 60 mpg average. Only complaint is the amount of technology and learning to use it otherwise no complaints what so ever. Parking and driving assistance absolutely brilliant, automatic headlights, blind spot help, don't use cruise control but my son who does likes it with the benefits it brings.

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks for sharing!

We're pickung up our 2024 E Power Tekna Automatic 1.5 next week, the red that has a beautiful orangy tinge to it, cant wait! Did you base your MPG in the mid range or Eco mode please? Ours will be in Eco mode. Cheers for thisn ❤

Hello: I am confused between the Mercedes GLB 200d and the Qashqai e Power (N-connecta)....out of the two which one would you recommend....thanks so much

[@TotallyEV]

Not tried the Mercedes, so can't comment, sorry!

[@EnglishSpitfire]

I had a very high spec'd e-power last week as a rental whilst my own car was being repaired following a bump. Overall I was impressed, you sit quite high and it has a nice smooth ride and plenty of power. It feels well made and good quality inside. The numerous external cameras were a nice feature. However a couple of things really niggled me. Whilst using Apple Car Play, I found it impossible to change radio stations!! I can assure you that's really, really annoying. The auto wipers were absolutely rubbish, and on a rainy day I was forever having to toggle the switch to clear the window. Also, the firm seats were, after a short while, not very comfortable. But as I say, an overall very good car.. but for nearly £40,000 it ought to be!! My own family car is a very highly spec'd Golf Mk7, and I was pleased to get back into it. I should also add that I have a Porsche sports car, and when that is being serviced Porsche always give me a Macan. Now, my point is that if I were in the market for a car like that there's no way I'd pay the extra for the Porsche, which seems very similar to me in many ways to the Nissan (albeit lacking the pace and powerful engine sound), but much, much more expensive to buy and no doubt run.

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kateband8213]

I have a 2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta e-power. Over the UK winter months the average mpg has been about 40. I’m guessing this is because running the heater uses the battery and causing the petrol engine to kick in. I’m seriously hoping this improves in the summer months.

[@TotallyEV]

Might do, but marginally! Thanks for sharing.

[@Imanc]

Please suggest me if having the epedal option on at all times is a good idea. I get 43-45mpg with that mode. Would you recommend turing it off in motorways and back on 30mph roads?

[@TotallyEV]

Would just depend on how you drive, but on the motorway, it's probably easier on your knees and feet to have it disabled. In town however, having it on can help recoup energy, thus maximizing on efficiency!

[@Raw-Coffee-Bean]

No, is the short answer! E-pedal is ideal for town driving. D+Eco is the best option for rural driving. Intelligent use of the available modes will reward you with over 60mpg

[@WayneM1961]

Just one quick question, as the E-power has more horses than the MH why is the top speed of the MH around 120MPH whilst the E-power is only 105MPH?

[@TotallyEV]

You'll need to ask Nissan that, haha. Not sure!

[@michaelstanley3961]

Any EV is great unless you go on a road trip, the range worry starts to take effect, try and find a charger, available, that works, doesn't rob you, does need to download an app, and one in Cornwall. EV for town, diesel for a road trip for now. Enjoy, good review.

[@TotallyEV]

Yes, having a pure EV can be more of a worry on road trips, but it's doable - it needs more planning but of course, it's not for everyone! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and glad you liked the review!

[@christopherhallmoorehouse7481]

Good review honest and fair. I took one out for test drive end of may and e-power tekna. Having tried many makes of this style of car found this excellent for head room did not have to duck getting in or out (I have neck issues and can't bend neck down) the drive was excellent smooth and quiet with smooth power delivery. Brilliant trunk space gets my wifes extra large wheel chair no problems. So I ordered the e-power tekna on the spot. Now have to wait till end September for delivery. Only complaint is no CD player 😡

[@TotallyEV]

Glad you liked the review, and thanks for sharing your thoughts! Unfortunately, CD players are generally being phased out by manufacturers.

[@RossSampson]

You will love it it is SUCH a good car..we have had ours 3 months and its just so good! With so many great features and superb to drive. Much more powerful than you think too! We get 900 - 1000 KM to the tank ( we live in the Netherlands) which is great on 57 litres!

[@R3RLEE]

Lol cd player!!! What are cds?😂😂😂

My test drive was this week and I had the similar experience after a mixed drive. I was first in a crowded road around the shopping centers and then went out to the motorway. Did max 100km/h. My 2 passenger friends gave positive feedback also (my buddy and wife). It was tekna plus epower.

[@essexranger]

Magnetic blue but I think this is the two tone blue with black roof option...

[@leesmith9299]

3:08 - inflating? do the manufacturers decide what figures get quoted? or do they all do a standard test which gives a result they have to publish? could it be the standard test that is at fault here rather than a case of manufacturers "inflating" numbers?

[@TotallyEV]

That's a good question. It should all be done via a standard test, but given the variances from manufacturers, it would seem it's not always what it seems. Ie. when you have some quoting 215-250mpg figures in the mixed WLTP test cycle, when in reality it'll get between 40-70mpg, it does make you wonder!

[@leesmith9299]

@@TotallyEV that's because the test is different to the average drivers routine. and how each car performs in the average routine vs standard test has random variability. the test is at fault. the PHEV figures is a whole other ridiculous can of worms. the standard test is completely inappropriate. a single mpg figure is completely inane as the efficiency in terms of petrol used is almost completely determined by the distance covered between battery charges. you can make that number infinity mpg if you go 10 miles on EV mode in a PHEV that can easily cover 20 miles. or very low mpg if you do 600 miles making the EV range a tiny portion of the whole length of journey you measure the mpg on. the tiniest bit of thought on that stat and it's clear it's just pointless. but again - who do we blame? the people who set up the inappropriate test or the people who are forced to report the result?

[@ellisrochlin2267]

Depending on the warranty for the range battery and other electrics , it's epower that has the edge, price wise it's now or never to buy the outgoing model as the reamaing stocks will be heavily discounted

[@davemackinder6518]

Does the glass roof have a sun blind???

[@TotallyEV]

Yes it does.

[@TotallyEV]

Cupra for more spirited driving, Nissan for efficiency (especially in town)

[@martingoble331]

I tried the Honda ZR-V great car but didn't buy it as the passenger seat was too low for my wife and didn't come with height adjustment, unlike the drivers seat. Real shame something so insignificant stopped me owning the Honda.

Interesting numbers on fuel economy. Most reviews of Epower mention disappointing fuel economy but you seem quite impressed😮 Are seeing something that nearly all the reviewers missed😅

[@TotallyEV]

Unfortunately, we can't comment about the other reviewers' testing methodologies. Ours, however, are the same across the 70+ electrified vehicles that have been tested. Might be worth asking the others to see how they got their figures - of course, that's if they respond to you!

[@jingawabby]

I was confused between Rav4 hybrid and epower. I ruled it out after miscalculating mpg for my epower Note. but I ran calculator agan it is giving me 58 mpg.. and am thrilled. So now confused again...?? I should just get Nissan.. as I owned regular Qashqai in the past and it was awesome..

[@TotallyEV]

The RAV4, like the Suzuki Across is better when it comes to efficiency but it's equally a lot more expensive.

[@jingawabby]

@@TotallyEV Nissan Qashqai is almost 60K NZD too!! but thanks something to keep in mind.. wanted that for a long time

[@derekhawley9660]

Surely have a single power train (electric) and an optimised petrol engine charger is the simplest way to configure a hybrid. No flipping the drive train between multiple power sources.

[@TotallyEV]

Yeah, you'd think so! Wonder why Nissan chose this configuration.

[@jaaklucas1329]

Exactly, electric power train is so much better. A small gas generator =less fuel and fumes an ICE..

Trying this in Ireland,,so far pretty impressive hitting 5.1 litres per 100km.

[@johnr7769]

Excellent review. As a Qashqai 4wd 2-litre diesel driver, I am a little ambivalent about EV's. My next door neighbour has a MG ev and had to wait 3 months for a dented door to be repaired. My daughter has a Tesla (which she calls the 'milk float' due to the constant overnight recharging) which she had for full tax relief purposes and is adequate for visiting clients around the West Midlands. For domestic and pleasure purposes she reverts to a Mazda MX5 diesel for safety and reliability, especially for her young children. I do rely on the 4WD option which notably helped out of a flash flood in the middle of Wales. Although the E Power is very attractive, I would opt for the Mild Hybrid technology, 4WD powertrain.

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks for sharing! Although, do find it funny to think that your daughter would pick the Masda for the family and safety haha. Don't think that's as practical nor as safe as the Tesla? Of course, when it comes to long distances, without wanting to stop, it's the easier option.

[@bikeman123]

I think he meant CX5.

[@TotallyEV]

Ha, that would make sense

[@mikefromvernon]

Intruiged by the concept. Everybody knows the grid is going to have issues supporting all the charging stations. Tesla is deleting charging stations and as the profits fall so will others meaning no gas stations for battery EV users. Everybody knows the ICE engine is most efficient when it picks a steady speed and stays there. E power sounds like a nice transition until battery technology improves. No range anxiety, lots of fuel stations but you can run the car on a smaller engine meaning better fuel economy and fewer emissions. This is technology the masses will accept.

[@AlejandroBelloRD]

Nissan Achilles Heels are their crappy transmissions (especially CVTs). No problem! e-Power has the BEST transmission of any carmaker: None! 👍

[@jaaklucas1329]

🤣

[@Steve-Cross]

I have the mild hybrid version, Tekna+. I have put 14,000 miles on it from new. Never had any problems with the transmission. It is silky smooth. The only little niggle is with the stop/start. It can get a little confused when slowing up. It sometimes cuts the engine prematurely, before restarting. I just turn that feature off, as it can be a little disconcerting. It might just be a software problem on my particular Qashqai. Everything else about it, is brilliant.

[@Steve-Cross]

The Qashqai was designed, developed and built in Nissan’s Sunderland plant in the UK. In that respect, it is one of the only truly British car, in mass production. Something for us Brits to be proud of. 🙂🇬🇧

A proper coast mode is ideal as e pedal is like engine braking in 1st gear of ICE. Not to mention when going down hill, you may/will require having to use accerator which can be a waste of power instead of a proper downhill recharge.

[@SuperMaverick09]

Great review though I do have to laugh at criticising the rear passenger opening as restricting the view for passengers; it's a window; they can usually see through it! Furthermore traditionally rear passenger window opening limitations were a safety feature for young kids to prevent arms hanging out or worse still bodies hanging out. Must also laugh at the absence of a ski-hatch in the back seats. Truthfully, how many Brits are going to carry skis!?!

[@alandoyle4523]

Can't believe you haven't mentioned that the Qashqai doesn't come with a spare wheel. Massive own goal by Nissan, along with other makers, to give you a tube of gunge that only gets you 50 miles should you get a puncture. I would never buy a car that doesn't come with a spare wheel even if it's a 'space saver' type.

[@TotallyEV]

Many, many don't. In fact of the 100+ vehicle reviewed only 2 had one.

[@jamed63]

It seems an odd vehicle given that after 2035 only EVs and plug in hybrids will be sold, so Nissan have spent millions of R&D on a hybrid vehicle that will become obsolete?

[@TotallyEV]

That's a good point. Presuming the lifecycle started long before the bans came about?

[@mariopolchert]

The key words here are "only EVs and plug in hybrids will be sold", not "only driven"! Besides, that fact applies to all hybrid vehicles in the market, not to mention it's a long time away.

[@TotallyEV]

Indeed, but the person here is referring to the hybrid technology being different than regular PHEVs which usually net better MPG on shorter trims and have more eco credentials than self charging models

[@jamed63]

@@mariopolchert Yes, its standard hybrids that will be phased out with ICE cars, but they will last many years, I have a Toyota myself. I would say this Nissan falls into the standard hybrid category as it dose not have a significant electric only range! so its a lot of R&D etc for the 3 new car sales cycles between 2023-30 (eg only 3x 3 year leases) PHEVs with an EV range of at least 30 miles will continue to be sold until 2035.

[@pavek]

You totally missed the fact it's a global platform/vehicle. Not only in EU you'll be allowed to drive an EREV vehicle maybe in 2045, but elsewhere in the world you'll be able to buy fuel vehicles well past 2035. Plus, e-POWER vehicles are being sold since 2016, which means it's not a new project. I guess it's totally fine to spend money on research for something you'll be able to sell for decades. Isn't it?

[@Raw-Coffee-Bean]

Your driving style is the problem!

[@lazlo09]

All hyrbid cars are fuel efficiant in city driving the most after that country side. They are all terrible at motorways. Any prolonged driving over say 90 km/h like commuting to work 5 days a week is terrible for any hybrid. If one drives like that they need a lean diesel, those are the best for regular highway driving. Seems you didnt do you reasearch and bought a car with an engine that doesent suit the driving you do at all. That is your fault, not Nissan´s.

It's all dependent on how you drive and where, but indeed it didn't do too well.

[@conradmilson6654]

@@TotallyEV Good review but you obviously didn't drive it in eco mode & "B" setting. I get 60 mpg with no problem.

[@TotallyEV]

@conradmilson6654 great that you run it on Eco mode all the time. But that's not a realistic way of driving for most.

[@glenbobA]

how mad is this...a petrol engine 1.5 Ltr charging batteries which then power electric motors. We are supposed to be reducing carbon in 2024 and this car can seriously not be aligned to that!!!

[@TotallyEV]

Ha, indeed it's an odd configuration

[@conradmilson6654]

"We are supposed to be reducing carbon in 2024" Net Zero is the biggest scam going as are EV's. As the engine is running in the QQ far less than a standard ICE it's at least more desireable and works very well if used in eco mode.

It's still completely half baked hybrid crap just dressed up in a different way ...

Agree, they could easily fit a 60+Kwh battery pack in a vehicle that size and make a great EV, getting rid of all that complicated expensive to service ICE hybrid lump!

@@jamed63 But then it would be an EV, wouldnt it? It amazes me to see how many logiclally challanged people are commenting on Hybrid cars. Not everyone lives where thay can charge a car. That means Plugins and Ev´s are gone, not an option. The option left is petrol, diesel and hybrid. Many countries, mine included, tax diesels to hell. A normal diesel car would cost over 1000 pounds a year in tax here. Regular gas car is viable but i pay 2,3 eur a litre and a suv gas car will eat close to a litre of gas every 10 km. So thats where hybrids comes in. My Kia Niro does about 70 mpg spring - summer- autumn and about 50 mpg in the worst 2-3 winter months. Tax is 36 eur a year instead of the over 1000 eur a year it would be with a diesel engine. And btw hyrbids are for city and countryside driving. If you commute on motorways a hybrid is a terible choice

Hybrid = crap?? seriously?
