 2025 <a href="https://www.dailyrevs.com/cars/2025-nissan-qashqai"><strong>Nissan Qashqai</strong></a> e-Power Australian Version does not announce itself
 through dramatic visual change. Its proportions remain compact and 
balanced, with short overhangs and a planted stance that continues to 
suit urban and suburban use. Surfacing stays clean, with restrained 
detailing that reflects the Qashqai’s long-standing role as a practical,
 approachable small SUV.</span></p><p data-start="1008" data-end="1311"><span style="font-size: 16px;">What 
has changed sits beneath the skin rather than on it. Nissan’s decision 
to keep the exterior largely consistent suggests confidence in a shape 
that has already found broad acceptance, allowing attention to shift 
toward the technology that now defines the model. </span></p><h3 data-start="1313" data-end="1349"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></h3><h2 data-start="1313" data-end="1349"><span style="font-size: 16px;">e-POWER becomes the entire story</span></h2><p data-start="1351" data-end="1738"><span style="font-size: 16px;">For
 2025, the <a href="https://www.dailyrevs.com/cars/2025-nissan-qashqai-n-design"><strong>Qashqai</strong></a> range in Australia adopts Nissan’s latest e-POWER 
system exclusively. This is not a conventional hybrid. The wheels are 
driven solely by an electric motor, while a petrol engine generates 
electricity as required. There is no plug-in requirement, no gear 
shifting, and no mechanical connection between the engine and the 
wheels. </span></p><p data-start="1740" data-end="2317"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The
 new-generation e-POWER system introduces a compact 5-in-1 powertrain 
that integrates the motor, generator, inverter, increaser, and reducer 
into a single unit. Combined with a redesigned 1.5-litre turbocharged 
engine using STARC combustion technology, the result is improved 
efficiency and smoother operation. Fuel consumption drops to 4.1L/100km,
 while CO₂ emissions fall to 92g/km, representing a 17.8 percent 
reduction over the previous model year. Cabin noise is reduced by 5.6dB,
 contributing to a more EV-like driving experience. </span></p><h3 data-start="2319" data-end="2357"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></h3><h2 data-start="2319" data-end="2357"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Australian engineering at the core</span></h2><p data-start="2359" data-end="2775"><span style="font-size: 16px;">A
 notable detail in the MY26 <a href="https://www.dailyrevs.com/cars/2022-nissan-qashqai-st-l-australian-version"><strong>Qashqai</strong></a> e-Power story is the role of 
Australian manufacturing. Key high-pressure cast aluminium components 
for the 5-in-1 powertrain are produced at Nissan Casting Australia in 
Dandenong, which serves as the global supply source. Every new Qashqai 
e-Power worldwide now incorporates Australian-made hardware, an uncommon
 distinction in this segment. </span></p><h3 data-start="2777" data-end="2822"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></h3><h2 data-start="2777" data-end="2822"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Technology and safety sharpen the package</span></h2><p data-start="2824" data-end="3249"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Beyond
 the powertrain, <a href="https://www.dailyrevs.com/makes/Nissan"><strong>Nissan</strong></a> has expanded technology features across the 
range. All grades receive an enhanced Digital Around View Monitor with 
3D eight-point views, Skeleton Hood visibility for close obstacles, and a
 T-Junction view to assist at blind intersections. Higher grades add 
enhanced ProPILOT+ driver assistance, with improved lane-keeping 
functionality and updated graphics. </span></p><p data-start="3251" data-end="3462"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Standard
 equipment remains generous, including a 12.3-inch infotainment display 
with wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, dual-zone 
climate control, and Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety systems.</span></p><h3 data-start="3464" data-end="3504"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></h3><h2 data-start="3464" data-end="3504"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Pricing and positioning in Australia</span></h2><p data-start="3506" data-end="3932"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The
 introduction of a new ST-L e-Power entry grade broadens access to the 
technology, with pricing starting from $45,640 before on-road costs. The
 lineup extends through Ti, Ti-L, and N-Design variants, positioning the
 <a href="https://www.dailyrevs.com/cars/2025-nissan-qashqai-n-design-australian-version"><strong>Qashqai</strong></a> squarely in the heart of the small SUV market while aligning 
with Australia’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard targets. Availability 
is confirmed from March 2026. </span></p><p data-start="3934" data-end="4190"><span style="font-size: 16px;">For Nissan,
 the 2025 <a href="https://www.dailyrevs.com/cars/2025-nissan-qashqai-ti-australian-version"><strong>Qashqai</strong></a> e-Power represents consolidation rather than 
reinvention. It keeps the form Australians know, while quietly reworking
 the fundamentals to deliver electrified driving without changing daily 
habits.</span></p><p data-start="3934" data-end="4190"><a href="https://www.nissan.com.au/"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">Source</strong></a></p>
