Nissan Qashqai Mild Hybrid

The Most Modest Fun Car!I collected my Nissan Qashqai two months ago, and it has already clocked 3,000 km. The most impressive feature of this car is undoubtedly its driving dynamics. Despite having modest output figures on paper—156 hp and 270 Nm of torque paired with a CVT gearbox—the driving feel is absolutely fantastic. Best of all, there is none of that annoying CVT whining or grinding noise.The car features three drive modes: Econ, Standard, and Sport, which you can change via the selector on the center console. However, there is another "hidden" sport mode. By pulling the gear lever, you can instantly engage a quick sport mode for fast overtaking.When you change modes for a power boost, you feel an instant surge. The engine revs to at least 1,800 RPM and stays there to ensure the turbo is fully spooled. Thanks to this intelligent setup, you never experience any turbo lag. You can easily pull the gear lever for an instant power boost even while cruising in Econ or Standard mode.If you select full Sport mode via the console, both the gear and engine enter sport mode. While this is the most aggressive setting, staying in it permanently might make you go numb to the power.My recipe for the most fun daily drive:Start daily driving in Econ mode for a relaxed, leisurely cruise.Switch to Standard mode when you need a bit more general responsiveness.Flick the gear lever to Sport for a quick burst of overtaking power.Push the drive mode selector forward into full Sport mode if you want the ultimate, sustained power delivery.Maneuvering through these stages gives me the most joy. Even after two months of ownership, I still look forward to driving this car every single day. I wanted to share this so that all fellow Nissan Qashqai owners can get the absolute most out of this modest, fun car!... Read More
