Revised Nissan Qashqai range boasts updated technology

Motoring enthusiasts looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive while also cheap to run could be tempted by the revised Qashqai range being introduced by Nissan.

The manufacturer has revealed that a new advanced 1.6 litre diesel engine is being introduced to its Qashqai and Qashqai+2 range.

According to Nissan, the new engine, which boasts CO2 emissions of just 119g/km, will deliver "dramatic cost savings" and environmental benefits.

Jim Wright, Nissan Motor GB's managing director, commented: "Current financial pressures for both the individual and company car buyers mean costs are constantly being analysed so it is good to see how Nissan's technical innovations, introduced on this engine, help to minimise overall running costs."

While improving the vehicle's running costs and environmental impact, the new engine has also enhanced the driving experience.

Nissan claims the more refined set up means stronger in-gear acceleration than the 2.0-litre dCi engine which is being replaced.
