Technology

Our smartphones are where the various parts of our lives come together. The native Nissan infotainment system is compatible with both the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto suites of applications.
Nissan Navigation Suite
Even if you don’t want to use your smartphone for navigation, you can leave the paper maps at home. The native Nissan Door-to-Door Navigation suite uses the SUV’s touchscreen to show the driver the route as well as turn-by-turn directions.
Performance
Efficient Performance
Every 2023 Nissan Qashqai is equipped with the same powertrain. A naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine attached to a continuously variable transmission is under the hood. It will make 141 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, drivers can expect the SUV to return up to 8.6 L/100 km in the city and 7.3 L/100 km on the highway.
Available All-Wheel Drive
Road conditions can deteriorate quickly and for several reasons. Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is available on several 2023 Qashqai trim grades. The system is designed to help the vehicle maintain positive traction by sending additional torque to a slipping wheel.
