Positioned at the top of the Qashqai range, the e-POWER is available in high-spec grades like the Ti and the new flagship N-Design. Prices for these hybrid models typically start around the low-to-mid $50,000 mark (drive-away), placing them in premium territory for this class.

What does the Nissan Qashqai Ti e-POWER 2025 look like?

The 2025 update has given the Qashqai a significantly bolder face. The new front grille is wider and features dozens of three-dimensional, comma-shaped elements inspired by ancient Japanese armour scales. This is flanked by sharper, more aggressive headlights.

At the rear, the changes are subtler, with updated LED taillight signatures. The new Qashqai Ti e-POWER 2025 adds a sporty edge with colour-coded body styling and unique 19-inch alloy wheels with Aero Inserts  that give it a purposeful stance on the road.

What is the Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2025 like inside?

First impressions of the high-grade e-POWER interior are of genuine quality. Nissan has stepped up its game with soft-touch materials, including Alcantara on the dashboard and doors.

The cabin is dominated by twin 12.3-inch digital screens—one for the instrument cluster and one for the infotainment system. In the premium N-Design models, they come with a large 10.8-inch head-up display projected directly onto the windscreen.

Storage

Practicality remains a strong point. The centre console features a decent-sized storage bin with a split-opening lid, along with two large cupholders. There is a dedicated wireless phone charging pad ahead of the sleek gear selector. Door bins are adequately sized for typical water bottles.

Rear seat and boot space

Rear seat accommodation is among the best in the small SUV class. The rear doors open almost 90 degrees, making access exceptionally easy for fitting child seats or loading passengers. Legroom and headroom are generous for adults. Rear passengers also benefit from air vents and USB-A and USB-C charging ports.

The boot is a practical space, though slightly smaller in the e-POWER compared to petrol versions due to hybrid components. It offers around 452 litres with the seats up, expandable to over 1370 litres.

Technology and connectivity

The updated infotainment system is faster and sharper than before. It features wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto as standard. The interface is intuitive, with crisp graphics on the high-resolution screen.

Audio in top-spec models are handled by a premium Bose sound system, delivering clear and punchy audio.

Engine and drivetrain

This is the Qashqai’s unique selling point. The e-POWER system is not a traditional hybrid. It uses a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that acts solely as a generator. This engine never drives the wheels directly.

Instead, it charges a small battery, which in turn powers a 140 kW / 330 Nm electric motor on the front axle. This setup provides the instant, smooth torque response of an electric vehicle without the need to ever plug it in.

What’s the Nissan Qashqai Ti e-POWER 2025 like to drive?

Because the wheels are always turned by the electric motor, the Qashqai e-POWER drives like an EV. Acceleration is linear, quiet, and surprisingly punchy, especially around town.

It features “e-Pedal Step,” which allows for strong regenerative braking when lifting off the accelerator, though it won’t bring the car to a complete stop like some full EVs. The ride quality on standard wheels is excellent.

Nissan uses active noise cancellation to keep the cabin hushed, making it a very refined highway cruiser. Real-world fuel economy is generally good, though often slightly higher than the official 5.2L/100km claim, typically settling in the mid-to-high 5s depending on driving style.

Safety features

The Nissan Qashqai holds a 5-star ANCAP safety rating (based on 2021 testing). It comes loaded with Nissan’s ProPILOT suite of driver assists, including:

• Intelligent Emergency Braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
• Intelligent Lane Intervention
• Blind Spot Intervention
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert with braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist

Owner benefits

Nissan Australia offers a standard 5-year / unlimited-kilometre warranty. The Qashqai also comes with a 5-year capped-price servicing program, with intervals set at every 12 months or 15,000km. Roadside assistance is typically included for the warranty period if serviced at authorised dealers.

Final thoughts

The 2025 Nissan Qashqai e-POWER is a compelling, if expensive, alternative in the small SUV market. It offers a genuinely premium interior and a unique driving experience that combines the best traits of an EV—smoothness and instant response—with the convenience of petrol refuelling. It’s a “best of both worlds” solution for those not quite ready to go fully electric.

Featuring Nissan’s pioneering powertrain, e-POWER combines an advanced petrol engine with an electric motor and 2.1kWh battery to deliver smooth driving power and impressive fuel efficiency⁺.

The petrol engine generates the electricity, which can be transmitted via the inverter to the battery pack, the electric motor, or both, according to the driving scenario. Nissan’s e-POWER also delivers fuel use of just 5.2L/100km⁺ on the combined cycle.

“Nissan’s e-POWER technology combines driving fun with an electrified drive experience, and the Qashqai e-POWER only furthers that story,” says Nissan Australia Managing Director, Adam Paterson.
