Nissan Qashqai e-Power Completes 1,303-Km Tasmania Lap on One Tank

Overview

• Nissan Australia drove the updated Qashqai e-Power around Tasmania without refuelling, covering 1,303 km on a single tank.
• The trip recorded average fuel use of 4.5 L/100km across highways, hill climbs and urban roads.
• Nissan quotes 4.1 L/100km and 92 g/km CO2 for lab testing, which the Australian Automobile Association has not yet validated on real roads.
• The e-Power system drives the wheels with an electric motor while a 1.5-litre turbo engine works only as a generator.
• The update adds an integrated “5-in-1” power unit to cut weight and losses, and reports note a small tank-size mismatch with figures of 50 or 55 litres.
