Details with the facelift version 2011 Nissan Qashqai have just been released, and even though the exterior is basically the same, the Japanese automaker has slightly increased power coming from the 1.6-litre engine and added a Stop/Start system.
The 2011 Nissan Qashqai is now able to pack 115 bhp instead if 113 bhp while the 1.5-litre dCi diesel engine is now able to output 108 bhp instead of 105 bhp.
On the 2011 Nissan Qashqai n-tec version the automaker has added their Connect navigation system, a rear parking camera, a panoramic glass sunroof and 18 inch alloys as standard.
The 2011 Nissan Qashqai is now also available wit the Chrome Pack which is a 250 GBP option, thanks to which customers will benefit from extra features like chrome door handles, fog lamp surrounds, and side strips. The 2011 Nissan Qashqai Chrome Packs also comes with new floor mats and tailgate entry guards.
The 2011 Nissan Qashqai price was not announced yet but the small SUV is already available for order in UK, with the first customer deliveries scheduled for October.
Nissan press release :
    * Stop/Start introduced among enhancements centred on improving the engine range
    * 1.5 diesel models now more powerful and more efficient
    * Popular n-tec version gets even more standard equipment
    * British built model is Nissan’s best seller and regular UK sales chart topper
One of the best selling cars in the UK has just got even better – for
both drivers and the environment -with a range of upgrades making the
British built model more appealing than ever.
Many enhancements feature where they really matter – beneath the
bonnet.  Stop/Start features for the first time as an option on 1.6
litre petrol variants. This fuel saving and emissions reducing system
not only makes the Qashqai an even greener choice, it also drops it down
one VED tax band.
In the diesel line-up every model now benefits from diesel
particulate filter technology with the addition of DPF to the 1.5-litre
dCi engine. But these green diesel improvements have not come at the
expense of power. In fact, the 1.5 dCi’s output has increased from 106PS
to 110PS.
What is more, all engines in the Qashqai and Qashqai+2 ranges are now compliant with EURO V emissions regulations.
Representing over 40% of Qashqai sales, the 1.6 petrol Qashqai will
now benefit from an increased output of 117PS and 158Nm of torque (up
from 115PS and 156Nm). Furthermore, the frugal four-cylinder will also
be available with a Stop/Start System for the first time. For just £200
over standard models, the advanced system automatically stops the engine
when the driver pulls to a standstill and puts the car in neutral,
starting automatically when the clutch is pressed enabling you to pull
away. This not only improves fuel economy by up to 3% but also drops the
Qashqai down one VED tax band.
Elsewhere in the range the ever-popular n-tec grade is set to become
even more tempting. The luxurious standard equipment list of Nissan
Connect (an advanced combined satellite navigation and audio system), a
colour reversing camera, a panoramic glass roof, privacy glass and more
is enhanced with a number of new additions.
Previously a £400 option, 18-inch alloy wheels are now fitted as
standard to all n-tec models, trimmed in an exclusive black and silver
finish. Drivers can also choose a new Chrome Pack option. For only £250,
the Qashqai and Qashqai+2 n-tec are enhanced with chrome door handles,
chrome fog lamp surrounds and chrome side strips. Inside, the pack also
includes door and tailgate entry guards and carpet mats.
Nissan’s UK MD, Paul Willcox comments: “Anything we do to the Qashqai
is always significant news for Nissan – this is our best selling model
on its home turf here in the UK. Its continued success is great news for
UK manufacturing and everyone at Nissan’s Sunderland Plant.”
Available to order from Nissan’s UK dealer network now, first
deliveries of the Qashqai and Qashqai+2 Model Year 11 will begin in
October.
