The new Qashqai exudes a sharp and modern dynamism thanks to its refreshed design.

New N-Design grade

A new addition to the Qashqai line-up is the N-Design. On the exterior, the lower body portion below the doors and the wheel arches are body-coloured on N-Design. There are also unique, all-new 20" alloy wheels which bring added on-road presence.The seats on the N-Design grade feature black leather with quilting, and Alcantara® inserts, while specific embossed "Qashqai" wordmark adorns the section just below the headrest.

Exterior updates - a bold, distinctive and sporty look

The front grille of the Qashqai has been comprehensively updated to create a more striking first impression.

The flanks of the bumper are body-coloured and a strip of black in a high-gloss finish runs below the numberplate to the lower corners of the bumper. The new headlights bring a sense of purpose and presence, with an even sharper look. At the rear, the shape of the lights remains unchanged but the composition of the lights within the unit has been redesigned. The bumper has been reshaped and now features harmonised colour – either gloss black on the higher grade versions or body coloured on the new N-Design grade.

A new 18" diamond cut alloy wheel is now standard on the mid-grade Qashqai. For the higher grades, there is a new 19" alloy and a new 20" diamond-cut alloy wheel design. Three new colours have been added to the Qashqai's palette. Pearl White is new and features a cleaner, pure tint that appears to give a glow in certain lighting conditions. Pearl Black replaces the previous black option and has a richer black tint and has the effect of sharpening the definition of the Qashqai's visual geometry.

Deep Ocean is an eye-catching shade. It appears to sit somewhere between dark blue and metallic teal depending on the prevailing light conditions. It's sure to spark the conversation among passers-by whose eye has been caught: "is that Qashqai blue or maybe green?".

Five of the Qashqai colours – Pearl White, Deep Ocean, Fuji Red, Magnetic Blue and Ceramic Grey – are all available in two-tone, with a black roof for a more distinctive look.

Upscaled interior trim

Once potential or existing Qashqai customers have had their interest piqued by the refreshed exterior, that curiosity will be heightened once they immerse themselves in the revised interior.

For the upper grades, there is a new application of Alcantara® on the dashboard, door inserts, door armrests, centre storage console lid and even the knee pads all combine to elevate the on-board ambience.

Another new dimension to the elevated life-on-board feeling is the addition of ambient lighting on the N-Connecta, N-Design grades and above. The ambient lighting settings can be controlled via the central infotainment screen.

Upgraded technology

The pace of progress in the automotive world now goes hand-in-hand with the progress in the areas of digital and processing technology. And in this area, the updated Qashqai has harnessed that progress to make the daily driving experience even more intuitive and reassuring.

The updated Qashqai has benefitted from a comprehensive series of technological upgrades. From the next generation of around view monitor, which will prove useful for customers every day, to the introduction of Google's built-in, which makes the Qashqai part of customers' digital life seamlessly.

Updated advanced driver assistance systems

The suite of driver assistance systems has been significantly upgraded to provide improved vigilance and intervention, for maximum peace of mind.

Firstly, the Autonomous Emergency Braking functions have been recalibrated to sharpen its risk detection and to react more quickly in case of possible collision.

The Emergency Lane Keep System is now automatically activated on starting the Qashqai. It triggers the operation of both Lane Departure Warning and Lane Departure Prevention systems at speeds above 60km/h.

New for the upgraded Qashqai is the quick and simple Driver Assist Custom Mode, which allows drivers to quickly tailor the precise level of intervention from the different assistance technologies according to their preferences.

Google built-in

The refreshed Qashqai is the first vehicle in Nissan's European range with Google built-in as part of the NissanConnect infotainment system, which makes a near-seamless interaction between a customer's digital life and their vehicle.
