Nissan scooped two major awards at the recent Auto Express Awards in London this month, with both the Qashqai and Nissan’s innovative Safety Shield technology receiving praise as being both industry and market leading.
The all new Nissan Qashqai won the best crossover award, praised for its optimum efficiency (99g/km) and a top class leading fuel consumption of over 74 miles per gallon. Recognised for its bold design, impressive technology, safety features and all round quality, the model continues to redefine drivers’ expectations of crossover vehicles, guaranteed to continue impressing into the future.
Winning the prestigious Safety Award, Nissan’s cutting-edge Safety Shield technology was praised for how it delivers premium safety standards to drivers. Designed to provide various barriers around the vehicle to help the driver and passengers avoid everyday dangers, the Safety Shield uses a measured blend of various technologies that work simultaneously to maintain the driver in a comfortable position, improve removal from a dangerous scenario and help limit damage when unavoidable collisions occur. Available in the Juke, Note, Qashqai, X-Trail and future Pulsar, the advanced technology has helped lower accidents and has increased driver vigilance through the assistive gadgets it provides.
Features include:
· Blind Spot warning for improved 360 awareness
· Forward Emergency Braking for improved responsiveness
· High Beam Assist for driving in difficult conditions.
Perhaps most ambitiously, the Safety Shields protective features extend to pedestrians outside the vehicle, looking to reduce automotive accidents through the Around View Mirror.
