Nissan Qashqai e-POWER (J12, 2024 facelift) – hybrid crossover review

Nissan Qashqai e-POWER — a popular third-generation compact crossover after the 2024 update. The model stands out with its unique e-POWER hybrid system, where the petrol engine works exclusively as a generator and the wheels are driven by an electric motor. This delivers an EV-like driving feel, low fuel consumption, and responsive performance without charging from a socket.
