The Qashqai's enhanced premium appeal is most obvious in the cabin, where an improved layout, higher-quality materials and advanced technology deliver a highly attractive and functional interior for all occupants.
The brand new range-topping Tekna+ grade includes new seats trimmed in high-quality soft nappa leather, with luxurious 3D quilting on the centre panels.
Also new is a D-shaped multi-function steering wheel with premium satin-chrome inserts. It features a new four-way controller for the combimeter display, for more intuitive use and less 'eyes off the road' time.
The NissanConnect infotainment system, complete with DAB radio and satellite navigation, now features a smart new user interface.
A new option for music fans is a BOSE seven-speaker premium sound system. For customers it represents a more complete audio experience, plus the opportunity to personalise in-car listening.
Exterior upgrades
To complement the interior upgrades the Qashqai's exterior benefits from a fresh design, offering greater sophistication and a new 'premium dynamic' style. The enhancements include a completely revised front end, including the latest Nissan 'V-motion' grille.
The headlamps have been revised with a new version of the 'boomerang' Daytime Running Light signature, adding to the new Qashqai's premium appeal. The addition of adaptive front lighting improves night-time safety.
At the rear, the car's instantly recognisable 'boomerang' light motif is extended across the whole lamp, and now includes a contemporary 3D lens effect to enhance the signature shape.
Added to the Qashqai's colour palette to boost its premium credentials are two vibrant new finishes. These include Vivid Blue, on the vehicle unveiled during Nissan's Geneva press conference, and Chestnut Bronze.
