<\/p>\n
Paris, FRANCE \u2014 Nissan has completed the second chapter in its real-world e\u2011POWER hybrid technology efficiency story, with Nissan Qashqai e\u2011POWER successfully completing a full lap of Tasmania on a single tank of fuel. The latest long-distance drive builds on the vehicle\u2019s earlier Land\u2019s End to John O\u2019Groats achievement in the United Kingdom, further demonstrating the real-world efficiency, range and EV-like driving experience delivered by Nissan\u2019s award-winning hybrid technology.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Together, the two journeys showcase how Nissan\u2019s latest e\u2011POWER hybrid technology system performs consistently across very different climates, terrains and driving conditions, reinforcing the technology\u2019s suitability for everyday European driving.<\/p>\n
\nChapter 1: Qashqai e\u2011POWER sets long-distance benchmark in the United Kingdom
<\/p>\n
The first chapter of Nissan\u2019s real-world efficiency programme saw Qashqai e\u2011POWER complete the iconic Land\u2019s End to John O\u2019Groats route in the United Kingdom under typical Northern European driving conditions, including motorway cruising, urban congestion and variable weather.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During the journey, Qashqai e\u2011POWER achieved:<\/p>\n
\n
\n3.76L\/100km fuel economy
\n1,347km travelled on a single tank
\n160km of remaining range at the end of the drive
\n
<\/p>\n
The challenge highlighted how Nissan e\u2011POWER hybrid technology combines the refinement and responsiveness of electric driving with the convenience and long-distance usability of a traditional combustion-engine vehicle.<\/p>\n
\nChapter 2: Tasmania challenge validates e\u2011POWER performance in demanding real-world conditions
<\/p>\n
For the second chapter, Nissan tested Qashqai e\u2011POWER in Tasmania across a route featuring mountainous terrain, winding coastal roads, elevation changes and mixed rural and highway driving conditions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite the significantly different environment, Qashqai e\u2011POWER again demonstrated highly efficient real-world performance, including:<\/p>\n
\n
\nMore than 1,300km travelled on a single tank
\nA complete lap of Tasmania without refuelling
\nReal-world fuel consumption of 4.5L\/100km
\n
<\/p>\n
The consistency between the two journeys demonstrates the adaptability and robustness of Nissan\u2019s latest e\u2011POWER hybrid technology across diverse driving scenarios.<\/p>\n
\nWhat makes Qashqai e\u2011POWER different from conventional hybrids?
<\/p>\n
Nissan e\u2011POWER is an award-winning hybrid technology in which the petrol engine is used exclusively to generate electricity, while the wheels are driven only by an electric motor. Unlike conventional hybrid systems, there is no direct mechanical connection between the petrol engine and the wheels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Using Nissan\u2019s 5-in-1 integrated modular powertrain, paired with a redesigned 1.5 litre turbocharged engine, Qashqai e\u2011POWER delivers the perfect blend of electrified performance and everyday usability. Engineered for real-world convenience, it delivers a class-leading fuel efficiency of 4.5L\/100km (WLTP) alongside improved thermal efficiency, while its electric motor offers instant torques, smooth and quite acceleration, and a refined EV-like driving experience without the need to plug in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Qashqai e\u2011POWER was recognised as \u201cHybrid Car of the Year 2025\u201d at the News UK Motor Awards for the second consecutive year, reflecting the technology\u2019s innovation and real-world capability.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThese two journeys demonstrate the consistency and capability of the latest generation of e\u2011POWER across very different driving environments. Whether on long motorway routes in the United Kingdom or more demanding terrain in Tasmania, Qashqai e\u2011POWER continues to deliver the same balance of efficiency, refinement and EV-like driving performance. Nissan\u2019s e\u2011POWER hybrid technology represents how Nissan continues to evolve the hybrid SUV through advanced hybrid technologies designed around real customer driving needs.\u201d – David Moss, Senior Vice President, Region Research & Development, Nissan AMIEO.<\/p>\n
