The Qashqai will be considered a hybrid despite its revolutionary system (and therefore bear the ECO label)
No one doubts that the SUV and electric segments were Nissan’s great saviors at the turn of the century. The Qashqai first and the Leaf, later, were two of the models that
Yokohama firm. A duo that dominated their respective categories with an iron fist and are now uniting concepts to bring the Ariya to life. The 100% zero-emission crossover will hit the market this summer with undisclosed horsepower and with a range starting at 214 hp and will be able to reach 389 hp when the e-4ORCE versions are released by the end of this year. to land. year.
A range with two battery capacities, 63 and 87 gross kWh that can homologate up to 500 kilometers without the WLPT cycle, making some of them official (currently the access version
has the first 360 km . passed recorded at 405 km by said measurement). We’ve already put ourselves at the wheel of the first version, the 214 hp Ariya with a 63 kWh battery, to verify that the Ariya is as comfortable as it is dynamic.
The stability of the set is guaranteed, as well as smooth operation and travel. In this sense,
the e-Pedal function which has been revised based on the directions of the company’s consumers (the total stop is suppressed when activated), is considered crucial to achieve the approved consumption figures.
Moreover, everything is packaged in a design that is just as sporty and striking on the outside as it is cozy and high-quality on the inside. To emphasize the coupe-like silhouette it offers, with a pronounced roof drop, or with details such as the 20-inch wheels and the Kumiko pattern of the streamlined front grill. Within the gates was achieved the leap in quality associated with a digitization typical of the 21st century with two 12.3-inch monitors and a
Head up display projected.
In terms of comfort, the wheelbase of 2.77 meters (4.60 meters long) gives the occupants plenty of room to fit while the trunk
it goes from 415 liters of the e-4ORCE versions to 468 liters of the 2WD. In terms of safety, the ProPILOT 2.0 system offers a level of semi-autonomous driving that allows you to take your hands off the wheel in certain circumstances.
Another protagonist is the Qashqai e-Power. The most electrified version of the third generation of the compact SUV changes the cadence of the models in this category by offering a revolutionary system. The same one that combines a 1.5 three-cylinder 156 hp combustion engine with an electric
to shape a hybrid extended autonomy. We say this because in practice it always moves with the 190 CV electric block, but due to the low capacity of the lithium-ion battery, at only 2.1 kWh, it will resemble the DGT ECO seal instead of the ZERO .
The thermal block uses variable compression technology that allows for a wider power range. The theory tells us that it maintains an optimal rev range (low according to Nissan) in a wide range of gears while remaining efficient. This block was not found
connected to the wheels instead, it is coupled to a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous alternator capable of generating 110 kW of power and driving the combustion engine as a starter.
The combination of the two powers the 96-cell lithium-ion battery that has an advanced management system that is
performance and reliability. This via an inverter that generates a three-phase AC signal to drive the motor and convert the DC current needed for the high voltage battery. Finally, we have a 190 hp electric motor that moves the wheels of the Qashqai e-Power and generates up to 66 kW in deceleration phases.
When driving comfort predominates and circulates
along the same route as the Ariya what we have been able to verify is that the more use is made of the urban environment, the easier it will be to have low fuel consumption as the electrical network will play a greater role. Especially if the Qashqai e-Power is equipped with the same e-Pedal as the Ariya. It doesn’t stop the car completely, but it allows driving with almost a single pedal, regenerating a lot of energy when we release the accelerator, making the
electric range and reducing fuel consumption officially coded at 5.3 l/100 km with CO2 emissions of just 119 g/km, making it 20% more efficient than the micro hybrid versions. As for the design, the only difference you’ll notice are the logos and the grille, which has a black frame on the top of the same signature Nissan models with a strong electric charge.
