Melbourne, Australia – Nissan's class-leading SUV gains more safety and convenience features and further engineering refinements for MY22, ensuring the Qashqai remains the family friendly champion of its segment.

Power from the 1.3-litre turbocharged engine rises by 4kW, with torque boosted by 50Nm — with overall outputs now an engaging 110kW and 250Nm — while a newly developed X-Tronic auto transmission delivers seamless gear changes and boosts economy.

In addition to the Qashqai "hero" colour of Magnetic Blue, customers can choose from five eye-catching, two-tone paint schemes including Fuji Sunset Red, Ceramic Gray and Ivory Pearl, all matched to a Pearl Black roof.
