Swansea, are you ready for the evolution of the family crossover?
At Bassetts Nissan, we know that for many drivers in South Wales, the switch to full electric still feels like a leap. You want the silent, instant surge of power that EVs offer, but you might not be ready to change your daily routine for charging cables and range planning.
Enter the newly updated Nissan Qashqai e-POWER - the car designed to bridge that gap perfectly. It is here to give you that EV feeling without the need to ever plug in.
How It Works
The Qashqai e-POWER is unique because it is driven 100% by an electric motor. That means the wheels are always turned by electricity, giving you the instant, smooth torque and quiet acceleration you expect from a pure EV.
So, do you plug it in? No. A highly efficient petrol engine acts solely as a generator, quietly charging the battery in the background while you drive. The result? You get the responsive drive of an electric car, with the familiar ‘fill-up-and-go’ convenience of a petrol one.
What’s New for 2025?
The UK’s favourite crossover has just received a major update. If you visit us on Neath Road, you’ll spot the differences immediately:
A striking new front grille inspired by ancient Japanese armour scales gives the Qashqai a sharper, more dynamic face.
Forget fumbling with your phone mounts. Google Maps and Google Assistant are now integrated directly into the car’s infotainment system, making navigation around Swansea easier than ever.
Want to turn heads? The new N-Design grade features body-coloured wheel arches, new diamond-cut 20-inch alloy wheels, and Alcantara interior touches for a premium, sporty feel.
The Stats That Matter
Whether you’re commuting down the M4 or taking a weekend trip to the Gower, the efficiency stats are impressive:
62.8 MPG
Capable of achieving over 60 miles per gallon (WLTP combined), making it one of the most efficient in its class.
745 Mile Potential Range
A single tank can theoretically take you from Swansea to the north of Scotland without stopping.
102 g/km CO2
Reduced emissions mean lower tax rates and a greener footprint.
Whisper Quiet
Recent engineering updates have reduced cabin noise by a further 5.6 dB, making it a serene place to be.
