    New Nissan Qashqai With E-Power Wins Best Powertrain Accolade at News UK Motor Awards 2024

    The New Nissan Qashqai with e-POWER has been recognised by The Sun, The Sunday Times and driving.co.uk in the News UK Motor Awards 2024, as best-in-class with its unique innovative electrified powertrain.


The award is a well-deserved feather in the cap for Nissan and the British-built Qashqai, during a year in which the best-selling crossover has enjoyed a very high profile, thanks to the announcement of a comprehensive update and its role in an award-winning marketing campaign.

Since its launch in September 2022, Nissan has sold more than 140,000 Qashqai e-POWER – with customers loving the ‘electric drive’ feeling delivered by the technology.

Rob Gill, The Sun’s Motors Editor, said: “We can’t get enough of them. Qashqai is the car that started it all and now the clever e-POWER system moves the game on even further.
“It has all the advantages of an electric car without the not-so-good bits like recharging with a plug. The petrol engine charges the battery and electric motor drives the wheels. We averaged 46mpg over 700 miles, which is mighty impressive for a family SUV, plus it’s designed, engineered and made in Britain.”

The key to the unique and innovative e-POWER powertrain is that the wheels are only ever driven directly by an electric motor, unlike traditional hybrids, helping the car deliver the sensation of driving an EV with no need to plug in and charge. It’s a perfect solution for those customers seeking advanced and efficient technology but who are not quite ready to make the switch to a 100% electric car.

The sole role of the car’s turbocharged three-cylinder engine is to generate electricity, which is sent via an inverter to either the 140kW electric motor or the 1.8kWh battery (or both, according to the driving scenario).
Working quietly in the background, it supplies the electricity in relation to the vehicle’s speed, thus avoiding any disconnect between background sound and vehicle progress.

Diana Torres, Managing Director, Nissan GB, said: ‘‘We couldn’t be more thrilled that the new Qashqai, powered by Nissan’s unique e-POWER technology, beats hybrid rivals in highly competitive class at the News UK Motor Awards 2024. It means a huge amount to be selected for recognition by some of the UK’s most popular publications and their motoring experts.

‘‘Nissan is proud to have created the crossover segment when it launched Qashqai in 2007. The cars on sale today are a far cry from those early models, of course, and the introduction of e-POWER technology in 2022 was a huge moment for Qashqai. It’s a car that’s incredibly important to all of us at Nissan and continues to be much-loved by our customers.’’

Last month, a replica of a Nissan Qashqai was attached to the chimney of the Truman Brewery in East London, as part of a marketing campaign that won high praise from industry experts.

Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
