The anticipation builds as Nissan enthusiasts await the reveal scheduled for April 17, offering a peek into the sleek updates awaiting the Qashqai. In the teaser video shared across Nissan’s social media platforms, the Qashqai hints at a fresh new look, though shrouded in dimly lit mystery, leaving much to the imagination.
At the forefront, the iconic C-shaped LED headlights of the current Qashqai model appear poised to retain their signature style. However, subtle alterations to the front guard and bumper suggest a refined aesthetic, with elements extending through the headlight unit, creating a distinctive visual impact.
Additionally, it seems that the chrome twin surrounding the grille will transform, aligning with updates seen in the recent facelift of the Nissan Juke. A brief look into the interior reveals a promising upgrade, featuring what appears to be a spacious 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an equally expansive touchscreen display reminiscent of the current model’s configuration.
Notably, the touchscreen showcases a new Android-based infotainment system, hinting at seamless integration with Google services, including Google Assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play Store. This teaser follows hot on the heels of the recent reveal of the facelifted Rogue (known as the X-Trail in North America), which introduced a state-of-the-art 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, further enhancing the connectivity and technology offerings of Nissan’s lineup.
Since its introduction to the Australian market in late 2022, the third-generation Nissan Qashqai has enjoyed considerable success, emerging as one of the brand’s top-selling models. With 6614 sales recorded last year alone, it ranks among Nissan’s most popular vehicles, trailing closely behind the X-Trail, Navara, and Patrol.
Looking ahead, Nissan is poised to set out on an electrifying journey with the next-generation Qashqai, targeting a shift towards electric power. Set to debut in 2029, the electric iteration of the Qashqai promises to revolutionize the driving experience, with design cues inspired by the futuristic Hyper Urban concept. With a focus on achieving price parity between petrol and electric models, Nissan is poised to usher in a new era of sustainable mobility with the electrified Qashqai.
