Published: 19 December 2008
The Nissan Qashqai+2 seven-seat crossover SUV is now available with 1.6-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel power, in addition to the 2.0-litre petrol and diesel units already available.
Starting at £15,495 for the 1.6 Visia and £16,995 for the 1.5 dCi Visia, the new models are also available in Acenta and Tekna specifications.
The 102bhp 1.5-litre dCi models come complete with diesel particulate filter and six-speed manual transmission, and can return a combined 49.6mpg while emitting 149g/km. Torque is a hefty 177lb-ft torque at 2000 rpm, and annual road tax is £120.
The petrol 113bhp 1.6-litre unit with five-speed manual returns 40.4mpg combined and emits 165g/km CO2. That places it in tax band D for annual VED of £145.
Visia spec means a fixed panoramic glass roof complete with powered sunshade, privacy glass and roof bars plus power windows, air conditioning, drive computer, Bluetooth hands-free, four-speaker CD audio system, six airbags and front seat active headrests. 16 inch alloys are fitted in place of the 17 inch items of 2.0-litre Qashqai+2s.
Acenta models gain 17 inch alloys, a leather trimmed steering wheel and manual gear knob, a centre rear armrest and a choice of interior trim colours.
The audio system is upgraded to an in-dash six-disc autochanger, six speakers and steering wheel controls and the air con becomes dual zone and climate controlled. Automatic wipers and headlamps, cruise control and rear parking sensors complete the package.
Top of the range Tekna gives you the luxury of heated, leather seats with contrasting stitching, the convenience of the Intelligent Key, and the added safety of xenon headlamps and an auto-dimming interior mirror. ESP is an option on all 1.5 and 1.6 models.
Sales start 1 January, priced from £15,495
