The 2021 Nissan Qashqai is a hybrid SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the J12 generation. The 1.3 DIG-T Mild Hybrid is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.3 DIG-T Mild Hybrid version develops 158 hp and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 9.2 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph). Its power output is about 28% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 9% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 6.3 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 55.0 litres (14.5 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 144 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,425 mm (174.2 in) in length, 1,838 mm (72.4 in) in width, and 1,635 mm (64.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,665 mm (104.9 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 504 litres (17.8 cu ft), expanding to 1,447 litres (51.1 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,530 kg (3,373 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2021 Nissan Qashqai is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
