  • 1.3-litre turbocharged engine will replace existing N/A 2.0-litre
  • Four variants available from launch
  • Pricing to be confirmed later this year

The third-generation 2022 Nissan Qashqai will launch with four variants when it arrives in Australia later this year, the manufacturer has confirmed.

Having originally slated a first-quarter arrival for the new Qashqai, Nissan has since pushed the date back – although it is still likely to be well before 2023.

Initially arriving with just one powertrain available in the form of a new 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol, it’s tipped Nissan’s Qashqai e-Power hybrid could land locally next year.

Having already launched overseas, the new-generation Qashqai rides on the Nissan/Renault CMF-C platform, now featuring multi-link suspension to refine its ride.

Although pricing hasn’t yet been set, Nissan has said the new Qashqai will be available in five colours: magnetic blue, Fuji sunset red, ceramic grey, ivory pearl and super black, all of which have a super black roof.

7-inch TFT instrument cluster
8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy

The new Qashqai features a fresh engine with the 1.3-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder petrol replacing the existing 2.0-litre, naturally-aspirated four-cylinder unit.

Power and torque figures are up to 110kW and 250Nm – an increase of 3kW and 50Nm respectively over the outgoing model – while fuel consumption is down, now at a combined 6.1L/100km compared to the previous 6.8L/100km.

The better fuel economy can also be attributed to the Qashqai’s new CVT gearbox, providing a 14 per cent ratio coverage improvement and a 29 per cent friction reduction over the old transmission.

Towing capacity has also been enhanced, now up by 300 kilograms to a solid 1500kg braked.

Dimensions

Compared to the current Qashqai, the next generation will increase in size across every measurement – now standing at 4425mm in length (+31mm), 1625mm in height (+30mm), and 1835mm (+29mm) in width, with its wheelbase of 2665mm now up by 19mm over the 2021 model.

Boot space has risen with the back seats up, but is reduced when folded, with a capacity of 480 litres (+50 litres) when upright, increasing to 1422 litres (-176 litres) when laid flat.

Predictive forward collision warning with pedestrian, cyclist and junction detection
Rear AEB with pedestrian detection

Warranty and servicing

As with the rest of Nissan’s Australian range, the Qashqai is covered by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, including five years of 24-hour roadside assistance. Nissan has not yet released service costs for the new Qashqai.

Availabilty

The 2022 Nissan Qashqai will go on sale later this year, with pricing to be confirmed closer to its local launch.
