Redefining Roadtrips: Qashqai with new e‑POWER’s 1,500km Trailblazing Trip from John O’Groats to Land’s End
From the wild northern edge of Scotland to the rugged tip of Cornwall, the Nissan Qashqai with new e‑POWER embarked on an extraordinary adventure: a coast-to-coast journey spanning over 1,500km of winding roads, rolling hills, castles and stunning landscapes.
This wasn’t just a road trip. It was a challenge - eight content creators setting out to prove that the latest Qashqai with new e‑POWER is the ultimate road trip companion. With a cabin that’s five decibels quieter, CO₂ emissions reduced from 116g to 102g, and a drive that feels like an EV without the need to plug in, the vehicle was put to the test in real-world conditions.
The Ultimate Test of Efficiency
The mission was clear: reach Land’s End using as little energy as possible to demonstrate the Qashqai’s best-in-class efficiency, made possible by Nissan’s next-generation e‑POWER technology that delivers a real-world consumption of just 5.4L/100km. That means drivers can travel up to 1,000km on a single tank – a level of efficiency that rivals diesel, without the compromises.

e‑POWER: Making the Impossible, Effortless
The secret behind this smooth, powerful drive lies in Nissan’s unique next-generation e‑POWER technology – a breakthrough system where the wheels are driven purely by an electric motor, while a petrol engine generates the electricity needed to power it.
That means the Qashqai with new e‑POWER delivers instant torque and seamless acceleration – the feel of a fully electric vehicle, but without ever having to stop and charge.
This unique technology bridges the gap between internal combustion and fully electric driving. For those not quite ready to go all-electric, new e‑POWER offers the best of both worlds: the range and convenience of refuelling, with the refinement and responsiveness of an EV.

Proof in Every Mile
Throughout the expedition, new e‑POWER’s real-world performance shone through – proof that innovation and sustainability can go hand-in-hand, even on the UK’s toughest roads. And with our participants breezing into Land’s End with 5.35L/100km versus 6.20L/100km on the previous e‑POWER, Qashqai proved it’s built to go further, for longer. With best-in-class fuel efficiency, Nissan’s next gen e‑POWER technology is rewriting the rule book on what drivers can expect from electrified mobility.
