Nissan Qashqai e-Power - is this the revolution Nissan says it is?

Nissan has been at the forefront of the EV revolution, with the Leaf being the true original of the species. And now, Nissan is turning their innovation to addressing the problem of giving buyers the electric experience that isn’t quite ready to make the jump just yet. Enter the e-POWER system. This system uses a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine 156hp, not to drive the wheels but instead to generate electricity, which can then be transmitted via the inverter to the battery pack, the electric motor or both. The new Qashqai itself is a much more upmarket car than the one that created the mania for crossover. And this latest version, as you might expect, is bigger, but it is also a much better driver’s car too.

I’m coming up to 10,000km on the e-power Qashqai and I’m averaging 5.0l/100km. The reviewer never mentioned the driving modes - eco, normal and sport. If you drive in eco mode with the e-pedal on for regenerative braking then low petrol consumption is very achievable. Driving style and environmental conditions also affect fuel consumption but very few reviewers bother to explain all the factors that affect fuel consumption. And no you don’t have to drive like Miss Daisy to achieve far lower figures than those in this review. The big plus of the e-power Qashqai is the instant torque available as the wheels are always driven by the electric motor.

I’m thinking this would do me nicely.. only thing I don’t like is the blue bits inside, but hopefully I live with it. Good that someone is telling people how to drive it.. like you said none of the people reviewing it tell you these things! Cheers..
