Nissan has given its British-built Qashqai e-Power a boost with an all-new hybrid system that makes it drive more like a fully electric car than ever.
Unlike a traditional full hybrid car, where the engine sometimes directly powers the wheels, the Qashqai’s e-Power technology uses a 1.5 litre petrol engine to continuously charge the car’s small 2.1kWh battery through an inverter, which then powers the electric motor driving the front wheels.
