The third-gen Qashqai gets a new platform and bolder looks.

New body panels mean that the Qashqai’s structure is now 60kg lighter.

The new Qashqai is 35mm longer and 32mm wider than before.

High-spec variants get optional 20-inch alloy wheels.

Engine options include a 1.3 turbo-petrol mild hybrid.

Nissan’s unconventional ePower hybrid system also debuts.

The interior has been substantially revised.

Longer wheelbase liberates 28mm more rear knee room.
